Welcome to The Humble Warrior Project — the podcast for dads who refuse to settle.
If you're in your 30s or 40s, feeling stretched thin between work, family, and the quiet voice in your head saying “there’s more in you”… this is your home.
Hosted by Matt Williams — nutritionist, ex-Army mechanic, strength coach, and dad of two — this show blends raw honesty with real strategies to help everyday men build unstoppable energy, functional strength, and the mental toughness to lead their families by example.
Each week, you’ll hear solo episodes packed with no-BS insights on training, nutrition, and mindset… plus real conversations with humble warriors: dads, coaches, athletes, and everyday legends who walk the talk.
This isn’t about six-packs or strict diets. It’s about becoming the man your kids look up to — strong, proud, and present.
Subscribe now. Let’s become better men, one rep, one habit, and one story at a time.

Let’s make you not just strong, but dangerous in all the right w...

If you’re a busy dad struggling to stick to the gym, this episode is for you. I’ve trained 3x a week for over 15 years — through deployments, business, broken sleep, and raising two young boys. Not because I’m superhuman… but because I follow a simple 3-step system that actually fits real life. In this episode, I’ll break down the exact routine that keeps me consistent — without relying on motivation, all-or-nothing plans, or workouts I hate. You’ll learn how to redefine success, build moment...

Ep. #7 - 5 ways to become a superhero for your kids
One of my favourite sayings...
Good thoughts, good words and good deeds.
It's such a simple teaching, such a simple statement that you can live by.
Thoughts always come to mind first before you do any sort of action. Obviously the good words, be kind to other people, express gratitude and also reward people for hard work and effort. And then finally is the actions that you take, the things that you do day to day, the standard you hold for yourself.
Another one of my favourite sayings is the standard you walk past is the standard you're willing to accept...

Ep.#6 - Top 10 weight loss tips without tracking calories
Often when it comes to losing weight straight away, the go to method is to have to get onto an app or write a journal or do weighing and measuring. That requires you to know exactly the amount of food that you're eating. This list is designed for someone that is struggled with dieting in the past. They have tried tracking, put weight back on, tried restrictive diets, put weight back on. And so these methods, they may seem very basic, but they're foundational, right. It's building you a really good base.

Ep #3 - Taking back control, maximum impact and how to pimp your meals - Audio
Last week I had 2 incredible consults with clients. They really brought the energy and we came up with some really cool analogies to take back control and get back on track. Losing control of your health and pursuit of your goals can be contributed to many things. Even after all the time, effort and money doing meal prep, you still don't feel like eating the meals you prepared. Humans love to have their senses activated and it's actually what draws us towards certain foods. If your meals are looking bland, aren't well presented (and lack flavour) you're less likely to eat them. Especially if there is a better offer at the tip of you fingers.
