The Long & Thick Feat. Brandon Lee

The Long & Thick Feat. Brandon Lee

 

Brandon Lee (you might know him as Brad Savage or @bitey_boi_actual) joined us for one of our more grounded, honest conversations to date.

We walked through Brandon’s full arc — from early life, to military service, to post-military reality — and how fitness became both a stabilizing force and something that needed to be kept in proper perspective.

We talked about:

• How military service shaped his relationship with strength, discipline, and identity

• The role fitness played in developing resilience — and where it falls short

• Why training is not therapy, and the danger of pretending it is

• Navigating mental health, therapy, and self-awareness after service

• What life looks like post-military when you’re wearing multiple hats

• Practical lifestyle principles for people in high-stress professions

This episode isn’t motivational fluff. It’s a real conversation about structure, responsibility, and doing the work — both in the gym and outside of it.

If you’re a servicemember, first responder, coach, or just someone trying to hold themselves together under pressure, this one’s worth your time.
