What if the goal of fitness wasn't to get better at fitness - but to build a body capable of saying yes to more of life?
In this episode of the ALLSMITH Podcast, Bryce Smith sits down with Juliet Starrett, co-founder of The Ready State, co-author of Built to Move, former professional whitewater paddler, attorney, entrepreneur, and former CrossFit Games athlete.
Juliet and Bryce explore what health, fitness, and longevity look like when you strip away the noise, extremes, and increasingly complicated world of modern wellness.
They discuss why exercise should create freedom outside the gym, the problem with turning wellness into an identity, why simple health practices still matter, and how physical capacity allows us to keep pursuing adventure, relationships,
and meaningful experiences as we age. Juliet describes the goal as building a body that can say yes to adventure.
The conversation goes far beyond training. Bryce and Juliet unpack youth sports and the loss of free play, raising resilient kids, marriage and evolving alongside your partner, entrepreneurship, authentic content versus performative
culture, the limitations of biohacking, community, modern medicine, aging, and why two seemingly opposing ideas can
often be true at the same time.
Juliet also shares the story of her 77-year-old father joining her family on a 16-day Grand Canyon trip - and how his
ability to participate helped shape the philosophy behind Built to Move.
This is a conversation about creating health that actually serves your life: the ability to move, adapt, explore, connect,
and continue saying yes to the people and experiences that matter.
