Most people aren't stuck because they lack information. They're stuck because they know what to do and can't quite do it consistently. The slow drift keeps winning.
Chasing Excellence is for people who are already trying — working out, eating well, staying positive — but find themselves in the one-good-week, one-bad-week cycle.

Ben and Patrick make learning so easy with thier top notch delivery of curated information, thier amazing insights and thoughtful perspectives. If you seek a great life, Chasing Excellence is a must listen.
Una fonte di ispirazione continua. Dopo aver letto i libri di Ben e scoperto il suo podcast la mia mentalità è cambiata. La mia vita è migliorata. Io sono migliorato. Per me loro sono un dono! Grazie!
Found this podcast when I was looking for a way out of a dark place.
Introduced me to stoic philosophy and showed me that my mindset (and where I was) wasn’t fixed.
This was back in 2017.
I survived a year I didn’t think I would and I’m still living by those values and principles I sat listening to 7 years ago.
Thanks lads!
Absolute lifesavers
Writing my first ever podcast review! Been a podcast connoisseur since 2015 and picked up this one in 2019. There are many great podcasts I toggle through but this is the only one where I simply cannot miss an episode, and have even gone back and listened to many episodes that are years old.

This series centers on practical mindset and habit formation across fitness, health, and everyday life. Episodes regularly explore the five factors—move, eat, think, connect, and rest—through frameworks, real-world coaching tips, and identity-based habit change. Listeners can expect a mix of solo guidance, conversations with athletes, coaches, and parenting experts, plus sponsor segments that support long-term personal development. A standout throughline is turning intention into consistent action, with emphasis on sustainable routines, community challenges, and tools that help crowd out drift from high-performance living.
