In this powerful and raw episode, Brad sits down with special guest Paul Casey, whose story of redemption will leave you inspired and fired up to take full ownership of your life.

Paul spent 10 consecutive years in some of the toughest prisons in the California Department of Corrections. But instead of letting that time break him, Paul used it as fuel for transformation. Toward the tail end of his sentence, he got sober, dove into fitness and nutrition, and began helping others with their macros and training—all from behind bars.

Upon release, Paul wasted no time jumping headfirst into the fitness industry—training clients at Orangetheory and leading group fitness classes. Today, he’s the proud owner of The Better You, a thriving personal training business in the Bay Area offering private and group coaching.

We talk about:

  • What prison really taught him about discipline and character
  • How fitness and sobriety became his anchor
  • The mindset it takes to turn rock bottom into a launching pad
  • His transition from incarceration to entrepreneurship
  • Why daily habits and structure are non-negotiable in building a better life

Paul’s story is proof that your past does not define you—and that with purpose, discipline, and a vision, you can rewrite yours.
