The Nick Bare Podcast

I'm joined by Heath Evans, who spent 10 years in the NFL, built a career in broadcasting, and had every outward sign of success.

But in this conversation, he reflects on the mission that changed everything.

He shares how suffering exposed pride, sin, and self-glory, and how surrender led him to faith, obedience, and a new mission: discipling men and starting a non-profit serving fatherless boys.

His testimony is a story about discipline, accountability, redemption, and what happens when your life stops being about you.

In this April 2026 “Inside My Mind” episode, I share what I’m building, learning, loving, and honestly trying to loosen my grip on. I break down the future of BPN, including our carbonated energy drink, creatine chews, consumer research, retail strategy, and how we’re thinking long game. I also reflect on lessons from Lonesome Dove, The Culture Code, the GBRS team, and pacing my dad at the Pittsburgh Marathon. 

This episode is about building with patience, leading with service, watching others win, and remembering that routines should serve the mission and not become the master.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with DJ Shipley of GBRS (Global Battlefield Research Solutions) to talk about how a life dedicated to becoming the most elite at your craft can the ultimate asset for your family.

Be an asset, never a liability.
