Hosted by Army veterans Chase Chewning (SSG) and Nick Bare (1LT), this podcast expands on the philosophy that sometimes we have to endure what we must in order to advance on the battlefield of life - EMBRACE THE SUCK. This is a very common phrase heard in the US Armed Forces, a mindset that serves us now in our civilian lives just as much as it did while on active duty.

My favorite

I started listing to the ETS podcast only a few weeks ago, but now I’m a huge fan! I follow Nick and Chase on IG and love the content they create. I’ve found that this podcast has amazing fitness advice, life tips, not to mention how entertaining it is. Definitely worth the listen! I believe Bare Performance Nutrition is going to continue to grow and I’m glad to be following along!

Awesome Podcast

Nick and Chase are super knowledgeable and the best thing about these two is that through the openness that they share with their audience you truly feel like you get to know them on a personal level. Keep listening and not only will you learn a ton but you will feel like your part of their inner circle!
