Michael Smoak (HigherUpWellness) is a coach, creator, podcaster and online voice known for helping people turn pain into purpose through faith, fitness, discipline and brutally honest conversations about grief, masculinity and healing.In this episode of Origin Story, Michael Smoak sits down with David McIntosh Jr in Long Beach, California for a deeply honest and surprisingly life-affirming conversation about grief, faith, heartbreak, masculinity, death, purpose, family, emotional expression, and what it really means to become a man.From caring for his dying father, to processing young parental grief, to rebuilding his life through faith and service, Michael explains how the worst thing that ever happened to him became the foundation for his work, his message and his relationship with God. David and Michael also explore the “Dead Parents Under 30 Club”, why men struggle to talk about heartbreak, the danger of suppressing emotion, the difference between real strength and performative toughness, and why “you only live once” might be the wrong way to look at life.This is a raw, emotional and powerful conversation about grief, God, love, letting go, and learning how to turn pain into purpose before it breaks you.

In this episode, Travis breaks down his conversation with wellness creator and fitness educator Michael Smoak, better known online as HigherUpWellness. With millions of followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Michael has built a massive audience by cutting through the noise of the fitness industry and sharing practical, evidence-based advice that actually works. Travis reflects on the lessons from their conversation, including why nuance matters in health, how simple habits outperform trendy hacks, and why taking ownership of your physical health can completely transform your life. On this episode we talk about: Why certainty and absolutism are major red flags in the fitness industry The importance of getting your physical health in order early in life Why fitness and weight loss are simple, but not easy How honestly tracking your food can completely change your perspective Why personal responsibility matters more than relying on the healthcare system Top 3 Takeaways Most health and fitness advice fails because people focus on hacks and shortcuts instead of mastering the fundamentals like sleep, movement, nutrition, and consistency. Tracking your calories honestly — even for just 30 days — can expose the habits that are actually holding you back. Taking control of your health improves far more than your body; it impacts your confidence, mental clarity, opportunities, and overall quality of life. Notable Quotes “Nuance isn't weakness — nuance is honesty.” “It's not easy, but it is simple.” “Nobody's coming to fix this for you.” Connect with Michael Smoak: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/higherupwellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@higherupwellness Other: https://higherupwellness.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

Michael Smoak is a mindset coach, entrepreneur, and podcaster. What does it actually cost to live a great life? From the outside, top performers seem to have everything we want, but the story isn't that simple. Behind every extraordinary life is a series of trade-offs, sacrifices, and unseen costs. So what is the true price of ambition, and are you willing to pay it? Expect to learn what high-performance actually looks like, what the number one fear that holds people back is and how to get over it, how to face and overcome your fears, why the path to being the best version of yourself should feel somewhat lonely, why most of the things you want in life has an opportunity cost attached to it, why you should always prioritise physical health and much more..

Send us a textRian Smoak thought he was chasing an Ironman finish line. But as he tells it, “that finish line became my new start line.” Dr. Kevin White reconnects with a longtime friend and endurance athlete whose story runs far deeper than training plans and race photos. Rian shares how growing up under chronic stress shaped his drive, how a health scare forced him to rethink what “healthy” actually means, and how one defining moment in Kona led to the creation of TRI-DAT: a mission built around helping athletes with different abilities experience their own moments of possibility and pride. In this episode, you'll hear how early pressure and perfectionism quietly tax the nervous system, why purpose can change what the body is capable of, and how trading the chase for status or possessions for a cause rooted in service can radically shift both physical and mental health. If you've been living on alert, this conversation is a reminder that your body isn't broken. It's responding to the environment it's been placed in. Start with one decision that lowers the noise, supports recovery, and moves you closer to a life that feels aligned.
