Hi friends,

As we enter the final month of the first half of 2026, I find myself reflecting on gratitude.

I’m grateful for my health, my family, my friends, and the people I care about. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given and the ability to spend my time doing things I genuinely enjoy.

The older I get, the more I realize that many of the things we often take for granted are actually tremendous blessings. The ability to wake up healthy, spend time with loved ones, work on projects we care about, travel, learn, and help others is something worth appreciating every day.

One area where I’ve had to refocus recently is my own health journey.

Many of you know that discipline and personal growth are central themes of my book, my podcast, and my life. Yet like everyone else, I occasionally drift away from the habits that help me perform at my best.

Over the last couple of months, I found myself slipping a bit with my diet and exercise routine. After seeing the positive experience of a friend, I decided it was time for a reset.

For me, that means getting back to the fundamentals:

• Eating whole foods
• Limiting calories
• Increasing protein intake
• Eliminating refined sugar
• Exercising 4–6 times per week

Nothing revolutionary. Just the simple disciplines that have always worked.

One lesson I’ve learned through losing over 130 pounds is that success rarely comes from complicated systems. More often, it comes from consistently doing the basics well.

I’d love to hear from you. What habits help you get back on track when you feel yourself drifting?

Approaching Episode 900?

This month marks a milestone that honestly feels surreal.

In June, we will record our 900th episode of the Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations Podcast.

When I launched the show in August of 2021, I never imagined that it would grow into what it has become today.

Since then, we’ve had conversations with entrepreneurs, athletes, authors, CEOs, military leaders, entertainers, coaches, faith leaders, healthcare professionals, and people from all walks of life.

We’ve explored discipline, leadership, business, health, relationships, faith, resilience, and personal growth.

Today, the show has:

• More than 900 episodes recorded
• Over 1 million total followers
• A global audience
• Thousands of hours of conversations focused on helping people become the best version of themselves

Most importantly, we’ve built an incredible community.

To everyone who has listened, subscribed, shared an episode, left a review, appeared as a guest, or supported the show in any way—thank you.

You are the reason we continue to grow.

This milestone belongs to all of us.

How should we celebrate this milestone?

We’ve created a simple one-question survey to gather ideas from the community. Your feedback will help shape how we recognize this achievement and what special content we create around Episode 900.

As a thank-you for participating, everyone who completes the survey will receive this exclusive June 2026 Digest Infographic, highlighting key insights, featured conversations, and reflections from the first half of the month.

The Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations Podcast has always been about learning together, and Episode 900 should be something we celebrate together as well.
