Do Hard Things: The Combat Fitness Podcast

In this episode I sit down with Jake Prusha — Coast Guard vet, mental health advocate, and someone who’s been through the it. Jake opens up about his battles with depression and anxiety, the reality of military life, and what it’s like trying to find your footing once you’re out.We talk about how fitness became his way of coping, why vulnerability matters, and why leadership in the mental health space isn’t about pretending you’ve got it all together — it’s about being real.We get into his 100 Murphs in 100 days challenge, the toll it took, what he learned about accountability and community, and how sharing his story online actually hit him harder than the workouts themselves.This conversation isn’t just about fitness or mental health — it’s about ego, authenticity, and cutting out the habits that hold you back, looking after yourself and others.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Jake Prusha and His Journey02:55 Joining the Coast Guard: Motivations and Experiences05:48 Facing Mental Health Challenges in the Military08:42 The 100 Murphs Challenge: Raising Awareness for Mental Health11:58 The Importance of Vulnerability and Seeking Help14:57 Understanding Trauma: Big vs. Little17:50 Catalysts for Seeking Help: Personal Stories and Perspectives20:52 The Role of Leadership in Mental Health Awareness22:57 Practical Steps for Checking In on Others26:04 Conclusion: The Ongoing Journey of Mental Health Awareness31:32 Understanding Suicidal Ideations34:27 Coping Mechanisms for Mental Health37:32 The Importance of Hard Workouts40:36 Recognizing Patterns in Mental Health43:17 The Five Pillars of Life46:43 Sharing the Weight of Life49:35 Breaking the Cycle of Negative Thoughts52:35 Resetting Your Baseline55:34 Establishing Non-Negotiables58:34 The Murph Challenge: A Personal Journey01:04:08 The Power of Community Support01:10:49 Navigating Post-Challenge Emotions01:16:34 Authenticity in the Age of Social Media01:22:21 Reflections on the Murph Challenge01:28:32 Taking Risks and Intentions Behind Actions01:30:40 Authenticity Over Metrics01:32:52 The Importance of Taking the First Step01:35:17 Finding Your Why01:37:27 Transitioning from Military to Civilian Life01:41:12 Rebuilding Self-Discipline01:44:19 Confronting Self-Hatred01:48:01 The Cost of Service01:51:24 What to Add or Take Away01:53:17 You're Not AloneKeywordsmental health, suicide prevention, Coast Guard, veterans, resilience, vulnerability, support systems, physical fitness, Murph challenge, mental health awareness, accountability, community support, mental health, social media authenticity, personal growth, life transitions, self-perception, ego, motivation, fitness challenges

GIVEAWAY: ⁠http://www.combatfitness.co/blackfriday⁠ Hey everyone,It’s been a minute, I’ve been caught up with our Black Friday giveaway, HPLC enrolments and a ton of other things happening here—but I wanted to take a few minutes to share something that’s been coming up a lot in conversations lately. I’ve been talking with many of you as well as others considering training with us, and one theme keeps resurfacing: the tension between excuses and action.Here’s something to think about: If there’s something you want—a healthier body, better fitness, more energy (a promotion at work, etc.) — you are going to have to commit to a certain amount of action to achieve the end result. Outcomes don’t care about how hard it was to get there, how busy your schedule is, what support you had or didn't have, or how you felt along the way. They’re driven only by what you do.One mindset shift that’s helped me is this: When that voice in your head starts giving you reasons why something won’t work—“I don’t have time,” “I don’t have the support,” “It’s too hard”... Pause and ask yourself, “Okay, maybe you’re right. Now what?” That question shifts you back into problem-solving mode. Because the truth is, you always have only two options: make it work, or stay where you are. And if staying the same is okay with you, that’s completely fine. But if it’s not, the only other path forward is through action—however imperfect it might feel. In all my years of doing this, working with everyone from busy corporate executives, three-letter agency guys, SF candidates, all the way through 100+ lb weight loss goals, injured veterans, you name it... One thing has stood out: success doesn’t depend on where you start. It depends on your willingness to take action and keep going, even when it’s tough. If you’ve been feeling stuck, take a moment to ask yourself:How badly do I want the outcome I say I want? And am I willing to make the sacrifices it requires? If the answer is yes, you’ve already taken the first step. Now just actually commit to it. If the answer is no, then you know where you stand, and you can do yourself a favor and stop pretending that the change is something you actually care about, and just be at peace where you are. Full rundown of this concept in the attached video!On a lighter note, if you haven’t yet, check out our Black Friday giveaway—it’s huge this year, with over $30,000 in prizes, and it’s completely free to enter. http://www.combatfitness.co/blackfriday Let me know your thoughts on this, and as always, we’re here to help!

Welcome to Episode 17 of the Combat Fitness Podcast, where we get real, and discuss low motivation, the struggles of losing fitness, and what to do about it.

In this candid episode, I delve into a pivotal moment when I found myself asking what I thought was a "stupid question" to none other than Alex Hormozi, the absolute GOAT of the business growth world. Through sharing this experience, I explore the inner workings of our company, shedding light on the dynamics that drive success in the realm of Combat Fitness. But beyond just a mere anecdote, I reflect on the profound lessons learned from stepping out of my comfort zone. Sometimes, it's in these uncomfortable moments that we experience the most growth, and I discuss how environments can serve as catalysts for personal transformation. Moreover, I touch upon the wisdom gained from seeking answers from those who have walked the path before us. Despite already possessing some knowledge, I highlight the importance of humility and the role that mentorship plays in our journey towards excellence.
