EP. 91 - Sam Dancer | Is This What It Looks Like to Lift Heavy, Love Hard, and Live Free?
Once upon a barbell, there was a man who could lift more than most of us could ever dream — but what makes Sam Dancer unforgettable isn’t the mountains he moves with his strength, it’s the size of the space he holds for others.Years ago, Sam wasn’t the giant of spirit you see today. He was a kid with a lot of power, a lot of questions, and a heart that felt things deeply — sometimes too deeply to fit inside the rigid boxes the world wanted to put him in. Over the years, he learned that the heaviest thing he could ever lift wasn’t a barbell — it was the burden of living a life that didn’t feel true to who he was. So he stopped trying to fit in. He chose love over ego. He chose service over status. And he’s been building bridges ever since.Today, through the Dancer Love Foundation, Sam and his wife Jenn are using strength, soul, and radical inclusion to rewrite what community means — not just for those with intellectual and physical disabilities, but for every human who wants to lift heavy, love hard, and live free.⸻🎧 In This Episode:0:00 — Intro & Backstory:Bryce sets the tone with the story of how he and Sam became brothers in spirit, bonded by sweat, real conversations, and a shared mission to turn fitness into a vessel for a bigger life.8:12 — Strength That Serves:Sam breaks down how he went from being known as “the strong guy” in CrossFit to becoming a stronghold for people who needed love more than they needed another rep.16:35 — The Birth of Dancer Love Foundation:How Sam & Jenn started their nonprofit — the mission, the impact, and the lessons learned about inclusion, service, and unconditional love.27:00 — Lifting Others Up:Stories from the adaptive community that will make you rethink what strength looks like. Tears, triumph, and transformation.38:42 — Mindset, Faith & Freedom:How Sam approaches mindset training — and how he’s learned to surrender control, open his heart, and play the long game of loving people well.50:20 — What Community Really Means:Why vibe is everything, how to hold space for people’s full selves, and how fitness can be the catalyst for human connection.1:02:17 — The Big Takeaway:Bryce & Sam wrap up with an invitation: to step outside your own ego, serve others without keeping score, and lift the heaviest thing of all — the people next to you.⸻🫶 Quotes to Carry With You“The heaviest thing you’ll ever lift is your own ego. The strongest thing you’ll ever build is a community rooted in love.” “Strength is just the start. The real power is what you do with it.” “If you want to go heavy, go alone. If you want to lift forever, lift together.” ⸻💥 Listen With Depth. Live With Love.This isn’t just an episode to run in the background — it’s an invitation to let Sam’s perspective remind you that your strength is a gift for the world, not against it. Let this one crack you open and set you free.We want to be real with you — the audio quality on this one didn’t hit our standard, and we’re bummed about that too. But the love, magic, and wisdom inside this conversation are worth every second. We’re always working to bring you the best possible experience, and we appreciateThank you for Listening!

EP. 90 - Tasia Percevecz | You Don’t Need Another Diet — You Need to Feel Safe
→ On food freedom, nervous system healing, and reclaiming your worth.What if your obsession with how you look… isn’t really about your body?In this heart-opening episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Tasia Percevecz—former CrossFit Games team champion turned mentor, teacher, and truth-teller—whose mission is to help women ditch diet culture, heal their nervous systems, and come home to their bodies.From the outside, Tasia had it all: the body, the podium, the praise. But underneath the performance was a silent struggle—a battle with perfectionism, control, and the belief that love had to be earned. In this vulnerable conversation, she pulls back the curtain on the real reason so many women feel broken: not because of their bodies, but because they were never taught how to feel safe within them.We explore what it means to move from fixation to freedom, from self-criticism to self-compassion, and from burnout to deep, soul-level healing. This one’s for anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and thought, “If I just lose 10 more pounds, I’ll be happy.”Spoiler alert: you won’t. But there is another way—and this episode lights the path.🔥 In this episode: • (3:15) The CrossFit chapter and when success stopped feeling fulfilling • (9:40) Body image struggles aren’t shallow—they’re symptoms of deeper wounds • (15:30) The role of nervous system dysregulation in food obsession and body fixation • (22:05) How faith helped Tasia stop performing and start healing • (30:45) Tools for rebuilding trust with food, your body, and your emotions • (38:10) Perfectionism, control, and where they really come from • (45:00) What safety feels like in your body—and how to build it • (52:50) Creating space for softness, joy, and soul-led wellness • (58:40) Tasia’s advice to the woman who’s ready to stop fighting herself • (1:04:00) The new definition of “strong” — and why it’s not what you think💥 If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, this episode will remind you:✨ You are already worthy.✨ You don’t need another diet.✨ You need healing, support, and a safe place to be your whole self.🌎 Connect & Explore:👉 Follow Tasia Percevecz: @tasiapercevecz (https://www.instagram.com/tasiapercevecz)👉 Follow Bryce Smith: @therealbrycesmith (https://www.instagram.com/therealbrycesmith)👉 Follow the movement: @allsmithco (https://www.instagram.com/allsmithco)👕 Shop ALLSMITH Apparel: https://www.allsmith.co💥 Explore Coaching, Lifestyle Design, and Events: https://www.allsmith.co/services🎧 Listen & Subscribe:🔗 YouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music→ Hit subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

What if the very thing you wanted to hide… was the very thing the world needed you to show?In this deeply moving episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Camille Hunt — a Brooklyn-based artist turning the human form into a canvas of healing, power, and truth. Through her innovative body printing process, Camille helps others turn vulnerability into visual poetry, making art that doesn’t just decorate walls, but cracks people open.Raised in Alabama, Camille left comfort behind to backpack solo for four years — hustling on farms, working cafés, and sketching life across continents. That journey became her classroom for resilience, resourcefulness, and self-trust. It also laid the foundation for her art business — built not in a boardroom, but through boldness, heartbreak, and sacred reinvention.“Your scars are not your shame — they’re your signature.” – Camille Hunt“Art doesn’t ask for perfection.

But as you’ll discover, the real weight he’s lifted is far more profound than iron.Together, Bryce and Mike dive into the untold story behind that world record lift: the mindset, breathwork, self-belief, and intention that made it possible. They also explore the real reps—the ones you do in silence, when no one’s watching, that define your character far more than any deadlift ever could.They talk about: • Rewilding the modern man • How The Offense, Mike’s coaching company, is helping high-performing men reconnect to their primal strength and emotional wholeness • The launch of Physical Culture Club, Mike’s brand-new Denver-based temple for physical, mental, and spiritual training • Why vulnerability is a strength, and how stillness and savagery can coexist inside the same man⸻Follow Mike on Instagram (@mike.aidala) to witness how he lives what he preaches—balancing playful movement, deep introspection, authentic connection, and elite performance. Whether he’s coaching men through ice baths, leading ceremonial breathwork, or getting upside down in handstands with a smile, Mike walks the walk.⸻TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Opening Ceremony: From NFL Dreams to Emotional Mastery09:45 – The World Record Turkish Get-Up Story16:22 – Movement as a Spiritual Gateway23:51 – Building The Offense: Why Men Need a Code Again31:33 – The Launch of Physical Culture Club40:11 – How Stillness is the New Strength51:44 – Masculinity, Myth, and What We’ve Forgotten1:03:10 – Bryce & Mike on Father Wounds, Forgiveness, and Fear1:12:49 – Being Strong Enough to Let Go1:20:55 – Final Reflections: What’s the True Weight of a Man?⸻Support the MovementIf this conversation lit something inside of you—don’t let it fade.
