In this episode of the Burn Up Podcast, host Adam Nugent welcomes Bryce Prescott, executive coach, podcast host, and founder of Media Automated and The LAB With Bryce Prescott, and they discuss the realities behind building meaningful work, creating powerful podcasts, and becoming the man you're meant to be. Bryce shares lessons from over a decade in podcasting, why most podcasts fail before ten episodes, and how persistence separates professionals from amateurs. The conversation also dives into personal growth, identity, relationships, and the internal work required to build purpose-driven success. This episode pulls back the curtain on resilience, self-awareness, and playing the long game in life and business.

• Most people quit long before success becomes possible.

• Podcasting—and success in general—is a long game.

• The market isn't as saturated as people think; quality stands out.

• Experience trumps certifications in meaningful coaching work.

• Authentic conversations create deeper connection and impact.

• Meaning isn't discovered; it's created and tested through living.

• Personal growth often comes through relationship struggles and self-reflection.

• Empathy without boundaries becomes poison disguised as compassion and care.

• Identity and purpose evolve through experience, not overnight.

• Confidence is forged by repeatedly walking through your own hell.

• The best creators focus on improving their craft rather than chasing trends.
