Episode 1 - Glass Half Full

Our Website

In this episode, brothers Quinten and James get real about what it actually takes to stay optimistic, disciplined, and intentional in life even when things don’t go your way. From childhood stories and “glass half full” mindsets to building healthy habits, navigating bad influences, and finding purpose, this is a mix of raw honesty, humor, and practical takeaways.

We also talk about fitness as a foundation for mental health, why golf is the most frustrating (and possibly easiest-to-go-pro-in) sport, and how identity-based habits can completely change who you become.

If you’ve ever wondered how to maintain positivity under pressure, choose the right people to be around, or keep pushing when your goals feel far away  this episode is for you.
