Ryan Holiday: Why Mastery Isn’t the Same as Success | NADC!

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 13:00:00 -0000

On this episode of the NADC Podcast, hosts Neen Williams and Phillip Frankland Lee sit down with bestselling author Ryan Holiday for a grounded, no-nonsense look at mastery, discipline, and the long road to real success.

She shares how that trauma reshaped her relationship with faith, humor, resilience, and sobriety. Plus, Phillip reveals his own child acting past, there's some Ren Faire chaos, sober holiday stories, P90X dads, TikTok conspiracies, they also cover going viral after trauma, as well as the importance of mentorships in the kitchen, on set, and in life.

It’s raw, it’s hilarious, and it’s real. Christy proves that no matter how hard life tries to break you, not quitting can be a superpower.

Welcome to the Not A Damn Chance podcast! Hosted by chef Phillip Frankland Lee and pro skateboarder Neen Williams, this show is all about grit, growth, and going all in — even when the odds say otherwise. In this episode, YouTuber, chef, and cookbook author Joshua Weissman joins the guys for a raw conversation about betting on yourself, burning the midnight oil, and building something truly your own. Joshua opens up about how watching one terrible cooking show sparked the idea that he could do it better — and he did. He walks us through the early days of filming food videos after working long chef shifts, running on 2–3 hours of sleep for over a year, and how he pushed forward even while getting mocked by coworkers. This episode is a masterclass in perseverance, purpose, and chasing passion even when no one else sees the vision. The guys dive into Joshua’s childhood roots in food, the failures that shaped him in professional kitchens, and why he believes most people today are missing one key ingredient: passion. He also breaks down how practicality helps fuel his success, why he embraces an “all or nothing” mindset, and how discipline pulled him through the darkest moments of burnout and self-doubt. From mindset shifts to fitness gains, Joshua shares his physical transformation and why, despite being fit now, he still feels like the job isn’t done. You’ll also hear a powerful take on whether you need a plan before you start — and why the answer might surprise you. If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure of your next move, this episode will light a fire under you. Get ready to stop making excuses and start making something real.

This week hosts Phillip Frankland Lee and Neen Williams are joined by celebrity chef and cookbook author Jamie Oliver!

From Prison to Purpose: Jelly Roll Gets Real with Neen & Phillip | Not A Damn Chance! Podcast

Tue, 20 May 2025 12:00:00 -0000

Welcome to the Not A Damn Chance podcast! Hosted by chef Phillip Frankland Lee and pro skateboarder Neen Williams, this show is all about perseverance in the face of adversity. This concept is the reason why rapper/singer Jelly Roll joins Neen and Phillip for one of the most raw and revealing conversations yet. Fresh off a show in Corpus Christi — and dealing with a gnarly cyst that shot three ropes of pus — Jelly dives deep into his journey from incarceration to music superstardom, the struggle with food addiction, and what it really takes to turn your life around.

The guys cover everything from shame spirals and Waffle House cravings to testosterone injections, weight loss wins, and the power of accountability. Jelly opens up about using his past struggles with addiction to tackle his weight, how he's working with a UFC nutritionist, and the emotional rollercoaster of trying to change your life when the odds feel stacked against you.

You'll hear the "Not A Damn Chance" moment that changed his life, why he doesn't drink at home, how food became his new drug, and his thoughts on breaking the fat curse once and for all. From heavy truths to hilarious moments, this is an unfiltered look at what it means to grow up, level up, and serve something bigger than yourself.

If you’ve ever struggled with discipline, addiction, self-image, or just want to hear three guys get real, this podcast is a must.
