The Nick Bare Podcast

Nick Bare is a hybrid athlete, Army veteran, and the founder and CEO of Bare Performance Nutrition, a supplement company he built from scratch while deployed overseas. His podcast has grown to over 208 episodes with weekly releases, and it focuses on the mental and physical demands of training at a high level while running a business. The show's core philosophy is "Go One More," and that phrase isn't just branding. Bare has completed multiple Ironman triathlons while maintaining a strength training base, which puts him in the small category of athletes who actually live the hybrid training approach rather than just talking about it. Episodes mix solo shows where Bare shares his training logs, nutrition protocols, and business lessons with guest interviews featuring military leaders, fellow athletes, coaches, and thought leaders. Recent episodes have covered Ironman preparation strategies, leadership principles from military service, different dietary philosophies and their practical trade-offs, and the mental side of endurance training. Bare is open about his faith and its role in his training, which has become a more prominent thread in recent episodes. The show holds an impressive 4.9-star rating from over 5,700 Apple reviews, though a small number of listeners have noted the shift toward more faith-based content. What comes through consistently is Bare's genuine enthusiasm for pushing physical limits and his willingness to share the unglamorous details of what high-level training actually looks like day to day. If you're drawn to the idea of combining strength and endurance training and want practical guidance from someone doing it at a serious level, Bare offers real-world experience rather than theory.
