HOMOtivation is a podcast hosted by Steven Goldsmith: the founder, owner, and CEO of Stevendurance Online Coaching for gay men and our allies. He is a coach who bridges mindset, fitness, and nutrition to help build strength both mentally and physically. While he speaks openly about his own experiences with anxiety and depression, this podcast goes far beyond that—exploring discipline, confidence, habits, and what it really takes to create a sustainable, healthy life. Episodes include solo insights, conversations with experts and accomplished gay men, and honest discussions with past and present clients about their real-world experiences working with Steven and his team of gay coaches.
The HOMOtivation Podcast EP. 17: The Work Behind the Spotlight — PART 1 (w/ Frankie Grande)
In Part 1 of Episode 17, Steven sits down with performer, actor, producer, and longtime friend Frankie Grande for a candid conversation about what it actually takes to sustain a career on Broadway.
Frankie opens up about performing eight shows a week, the physical and mental demands audiences never see, recovering from an onstage concussion, and why you can be completely exhausted and deeply grateful at the same time.
From the difference between “star casting” and “stunt casting” to protecting your body, voice, and energy when the show has to go on, Steven and Frankie pull back the curtain on the discipline behind a life in performance.
It’s funny, unfiltered, and a reminder that getting the opportunity is one thing. Being able to keep showing up for it is another.

HOMOtivation Podcast EP. 16: No Gym, No Routine, No Excuses — PART 2 (w/ Chris DeAngelis)
In Part 2 of Episode 16, Steven continues his conversation with Chris DeAngelis — former client, Stevendurance assistant coach, and longtime friend — about what it actually takes to make fitness work when life refuses to cooperate.
Chris shares how he maintained his transformation while touring to a new city every week, navigating unfamiliar gyms, hotel rooms, unpredictable schedules, eating on the road, and the temptation to let travel become an excuse.
They also talk about why consistency doesn’t mean perfection, the importance of finding an 80/20 balance, and how Chris has maintained his results more than a year after his initial transformation while still enjoying drinks, dinners, holidays, and life.
Now, as a Stevendurance coach himself, Chris brings something especially valuable to his clients: he’s been exactly where they are.

Homotivation Ep. 16-PT. 1: From Burnout to Stronger, Leaner & Back to Himself w/ Chris DeAngelis
In Part 1 of Episode 16, Steven sits down with Chris DeAngelis — former client, current Stevendurance assistant coach, and longtime friend — to talk about what it really took to come back from burnout, weight gain, and feeling disconnected from his body.
Chris opens up about gaining weight after COVID, struggling with energy and stamina on tour, and realizing that the things that used to work for him simply weren’t working anymore. Even with a background as a personal trainer, he needed structure, accountability, and a completely different approach to nutrition, training, recovery, and consistency.
He shares how he went from 177 pounds to 140 during his transformation phase, then rebuilt to a stronger, more sustainable 155 pounds while maintaining the habits and results he created.
They also get into the realities of staying fit while touring, hotel gyms, inconsistent schedules, nutrition on the road, and why knowing what to do isn’t always the same as being able to do it alone.
This episode is a reminder that starting over doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes you just need a different system — and someone in your corner.
