  <description><![CDATA[<p>Most people only ever see the highlight reel—trophies, titles, big wins, and the myth of “overnight success.” But the truth is, success is rarely a straight line, and it’s almost never as simple as it looks from the outside.</p><p><br></p><p><b>Behind The Success</b> is a podcast that pulls back the curtain on what you don’t see: the wins <em>and</em> the wounds, the pressure behind performance, the pivots that changed everything, and the seasons where progress was quiet but relentless. In every episode, we sit down with leaders, athletes, and visionaries to unpack the real moments that built them—long before anyone clapped, posted, or paid attention.</p><p><br></p><p>This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the unseen journey. The discipline when motivation disappears. The decisions made in uncertainty. The setbacks that forced reinvention. The mindsets, habits, and values that turned adversity into fuel—and dreams into reality.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re building something meaningful, chasing a bigger standard, or navigating your own “in-between” season, <b>Behind The Success</b> is here to remind you: the part that looks invisible to the world is often the part that matters most.</p><p><br></p><p>Hosted by Leila Adnani and Kendal Macumber of PS Creative &amp; PS Studios</p><p><br></p><p>This is a PS Studios Original Podcast&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Jami and Greg DeBernard—founders of FitBody Fusion and hosts of the FitBody Lifestyle podcast—join <em>Behind the Success</em> to unpack the real story behind building one of the most recognizable coaching brands in bodybuilding and lifestyle transformation. From Jami’s corporate rise in banking, merchant services, M&amp;A, and IPO preparation (including a sale to a Fortune 50 company) to Greg’s decades of structured leadership across the military, law, and corporate life, this conversation traces how two very different operating systems merged into a high-performance partnership. Along the way, they share how FitBody Fusion evolved from an early gym venture into a coaching-first company built on mentorship, systems, and culture—scaling to roughly 1,500–2,000 athletes and producing major competitive milestones, including a breakout year of Olympia qualifications.</p><p>What makes this episode hit is the philosophy behind the results: health-first coaching in a sport known for extremes, decision-making in the “entrepreneurial Wild West,” and a deep focus on the <em>why</em> that drives transformation. Jami and Greg talk openly about nutrition evolution (raw vegan to balanced), building a coaching model that protects quality as you grow, and the interpersonal “human side” of leadership—supporting athletes through wins, losses, and emotional highs and lows. The conversation closes with a powerful reflection on the American Dream, freedom vs. liberty, and what it actually means to build a business—and a life—centered on opportunity, community, and purpose.</p><p>Greg DeBernard, Esq., COL (USAR, ret.), brings a wealth of experience from both the public and private sectors to his role as Coach and Co-Founder of FitBody Fusion. With over 25 years of service in the Army, attaining the rank of Colonel, and extensive experience as a corporate trial attorney, Greg&apos;s leadership skills are second to none. His dedication to fitness dates back to his college years, where he competed in bodybuilding alongside his military service, integrating Army Master of Fitness principles into his training programs. As an adjunct professor at ASU, Greg shares his expertise in authentic leadership with the next generation. Together with his wife Jami, Greg co-founded FitBody Fusion, a premier coaching platform empowering athletes to embrace balanced, individualized, and sustainable lifestyles.</p><p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/fbf_papa_bear/'>https://www.instagram.com/fbf_papa_bear/</a></p><p><a href='https://www.youtube.com/user/fitbodyradio'>https://www.youtube.com/user/fitbo</a></p><p>What does it really take to make dreams a reality?

Sage unpacks her rise through fashion—from selling handbags as a teenager in Arizona to building brick-and-mortar stores in her early 20s, surviving the 2008–2009 crash, and eventually launching a luxury handbag brand that demanded years of product development, identity work, and relentless grit.

Sage explains how trying to wear every hat (creative, finance, operations, growth) quietly killed the mission that inspired her in the first place: uplifting women through confidence and culture.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful episode of Behind the Success, Josh Koepp delivers one of the most unapologetically honest conversations about masculinity, trauma, faith, and identity in modern America. From generational wounds passed down through fathers to the cultural rise of the beta-male, Josh digs into the patterns shaping today’s men and why so many struggle with boundaries, confidence, and purpose.</p><p>He reflects on the national shock following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and how moments like these ripple through society, influencing how men process fear, leadership, and responsibility. Josh also opens up about the tension between <b>relationship and religion</b>, the battle between <b>God’s timing and our own</b>, and the real reason so many people misunderstand prayer, direction, and divine instruction.</p><p>This episode goes even deeper as Josh shares his stance on rebuilding trust after infidelity, the reality of negative self-talk and regret, and what freedom truly means to him as a man, leader, and believer. His insights challenge the cultural narrative and call men back to strength, clarity, and conviction.</p><p>If you&apos;re ready for a conversation that confronts the uncomfortable truth about masculinity, faith, relationships, and identity in today’s world, this is the episode that will stay with you long after it ends.</p><p>I’m Josh Koepp. My story begins with a childhood shaped by multiple divorces, instability, and the kind of abandonment that leaves deep marks. Growing up in blended families and constant transition created a fear-based view of relationships and left me battling intense anxiety for years.</p><p>By 23, that anxiety was crippling. Flying, elevators, even riding in a car could trigger overwhelming fear. I booked flights I never boarded and climbed stairs to avoid elevators. For a long time, I believed this was simply my fate — a generational curse I couldn’t escape.</p><p>Everything changed when I decided to confront it. Through faith, therapy, and coaching, I broke the patterns that controlled my life and found healing that reshaped not only my future, but the legacy I will pass on.</p><p>Today, I’m committed to helping men do the same. My mission is to guide men through their own healing, break generational cycles, and build lives of strength, clarity, and healthy relationships — free from fear, anxiety, and the patterns that once defined them.</p><p><a href='https://valormenscoaching.com/'>https://valormenscoaching.com/</a></p><p>What does it really take to make dreams a reality?
