Lean and Lethal Podcast

The Lean and Lethal Project is a mission-driven podcast for men who are done living soft, distracted, and disconnected. This show is about forging strength—in your body, your mind, and your purpose.


Hosted by Bridger Deaton, each episode blends science, real-world experience, and hard-hitting conversation to guide you through the process of becoming a weapon: sharp, strong, capable, and relentless.


This isn’t about chasing aesthetics. It’s about relentless growth, building resilience, and becoming the kind of man others can count on. 


We’re not here to be average. We’re here to evolve.
