Addicted to Betterment is a personal development podcast for leaders, high achievers, and anyone committed to becoming better in every area of life.
Hosted by David Gregory and Nikki Lewallen Gregory, the show explores personal growth, self-improvement, purpose, goal setting, and high performance through practical conversations and real-life perspective. From health and relationships to career and mindset, each episode offers ideas and encouragement to help you grow with intention.
For those who believe growth is never finished, Addicted to Betterment delivers practical ideas for becoming better personally and professionally.
Some people spend their lives searching for purpose. Brad Emerine learned that purpose can change shape without ever changing its mission.
David sits down with Army veteran, former medic, and entrepreneur Brad Emerine for a deeply personal conversation about service, strength, health, and what happens when the battlefield changes. Brad shares how September 11th transformed his military career, what serving alongside Special Operations taught him about courage under pressure, and why transitioning back to civilian life challenged his identity in ways he never expected.
From neglecting his own health while pouring everything into others to rebuilding his routines, faith, relationships, and physical well-being, Brad’s story is a powerful reminder that real strength is not about being the toughest person in the room. It is about continuing to show up, choosing the hard path, and using whatever strength you have to leave people better than you found them.
