The Daryl Perry Podcast

Welcome back to the Almost Daily Podcast. As we begin a new week, I want to offer a simple reminder: you can do it. Whether you're working toward a personal goal, building a business, improving your health, navigating a life transition, or simply trying to figure out your next step, there will be moments when you doubt yourself. There will be moments when the path feels unclear and you can&#39...

Every month, I'll be taking a closer look at the conversations shaping life during and after GLP-1 medications. Rather than reacting to headlines or social media trends, I'm focusing on what people are actually searching for and how those conversations connect to building a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. This episode is the first in a three-part series based on the July 2026 GLP-1...

Sometimes the greatest transformations don't begin with a workout plan or a new diet. They begin with surviving your darkest day. In this episode, I'm joined by Kyle Fry, who shares an incredibly honest conversation about living through chronic pain, surviving suicidal thoughts, rebuilding his life after multiple back surgeries, and ultimately losing more than 75 pounds by changing far mor...

One of the most important conversations in the GLP-1 space isn't about losing weight. It's about what happens after. What does life look like once you've reached your goal weight? What happens when the excitement of weight loss settles down? How do you maintain your progress while continuing to build a life you enjoy? In this episode of Life During and After GLP-1, I explore the transi...

What if most people aren't judging you at all? In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I explore a common idea in personal development: while you're busy doubting yourself, other people may be admiring what you're doing. While there may be some truth to that, I think there's an even more important reality worth considering. Most people are focused on their own lives. We spend...

Every month, I'll be taking a closer look at the conversations shaping the future of weight management. Instead of focusing on the latest fad or viral trend, I'm looking at what people are actually searching for, the questions they're asking, and how those conversations connect to building a sustainable, forever active lifestyle. This episode is the first in a three-part series based o...

Losing weight is an incredible accomplishment, especially if you've spent years, decades, or even most of your life trying to get there. Whether you're pursuing weight loss naturally, using GLP-1 medications, or combining multiple strategies, it's important to take time to celebrate the progress you're making. But as important as weight loss is, there's another conversation tha...

If you're someone who constantly picks yourself apart, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I speak directly to the perfectionists, the overthinkers, and the people who struggle to see their own strengths. The ones who can accomplish ten things in a day but spend all their energy focused on the one thing that didn't go perfectly. I share why self-appreciati...

The fitness and weight management space has never had more information available, but that doesn't necessarily make it easier to know what actually matters. In this episode, I share an important update about the direction I'm taking with my topic-based podcasts and why I believe this new approach will create more valuable, practical, and sustainable conversations. Beginning this month, I&#...

Life rarely unfolds exactly the way we expect. In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I'm joined by Bill Streetman for a conversation about identity, resilience, adapting to change, and learning to move forward when life takes an unexpected turn. While many people know Bill through his remarkable weight loss journey, this conversation goes much deeper. We explore how major life eve...

One of the biggest misconceptions in weight loss is the belief that reaching a certain number on the scale will finally make you happy. For years, many of us have been told, either directly or indirectly, that losing weight will solve our problems. And while weight loss can absolutely improve health markers, increase energy, and make it easier to stay active, it doesn't automatically create th...

What comes to mind when you hear terms like body positivity or body appreciation? For many people, social media has turned these conversations into extremes. You're often told that you either have to completely love your body exactly as it is or focus entirely on changing it. The reality is that body image is rarely an either/or situation. More often than not, it's both. In this episode of...

Who are you to you? It's a simple question, but one that many of us rarely stop to answer. In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I explore the difference between the roles we play for other people and the relationship we have with ourselves. We often know who we are as a parent, employee, friend, partner, or leader. But if we're not careful, those roles can become so consuming that...

Some conversations have the power to remind us that we are never as alone as we think we are. In this episode of The Men's Mental Health Series, I sit down with Daron for an honest conversation about the thoughts many men carry in silence, the stigma surrounding diagnosed mental illness, and why seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Daron shares his personal experience with a suici...

Food is more than calories, macros, and meal plans. For many of us, food has played different roles throughout different seasons of life. It can be fuel, comfort, celebration, connection, tradition, stress relief, or sometimes all of those things at once. In this episode of Food Noise, I invite you to explore two important questions: What role has food played in your life up to this point, and wha...

Most people don't know you. They know the idea of you. In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I explore the difference between who we really are and the version of ourselves that people experience online. Social media often creates the illusion that people know us deeply, when in reality they're usually interacting with just a small piece of who we are. I share my thoughts on authent...

Many people spend years believing that losing weight will solve everything. And to be fair, weight loss can solve a lot. It can improve health markers, increase energy, support mobility, and make everyday life easier. Those benefits matter. But what happens if you reach your goal weight and discover that some of the struggles you were hoping would disappear are still there? In this episode of Life...

When most people think about body image, they treat it like something they'll work on after they lose the weight. The problem is that body image doesn't magically improve when the scale changes. If you don't learn how to appreciate yourself during the journey, there's a good chance you'll struggle with the same thoughts and feelings once you reach your goal. In this episode of...

The Doing Hard Things My Way 5K is back for its second year, and we're excited to share what makes this event so special. In this episode of the Cerebral Palsy Perspective Podcast, Chad and Daryl discuss the inspiration behind the annual Doing Hard Things My Way 5K, how it grew from a personal running journey into a community-focused event, and why inclusion remains at the center of everything...

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't a lack of information? In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I share one of my biggest frustrations with the self development space. Too often, personal growth is positioned as an endless pursuit of becoming someone better, more successful, or more complete. But what if you don't need to fix yourself in order to improve your life? I b...

Jeremy returns to the Your Level Fitness Podcast to share what's happened since our last conversation, and the progress is remarkable. In just a few months, Jeremy has gone from building consistency in the gym to running over 100 miles in a month, preparing for a marathon, and setting his sights on an ultra marathon. But this conversation isn't just about running. It's about momentum,...

What do you want your new normal to be? It's a simple question, but for many people experiencing success with GLP-1 medications, it may be one of the most important questions they'll ever ask themselves. In this episode of Life During and After GLP-1, we explore what happens when the mental tug-of-war around food, weight loss, and dieting begins to quiet down. For many people, years have b...

Why do you still see the old you in the mirror? For many people, changing their body doesn't automatically change how they see themselves. Even after losing weight, improving fitness, or making significant lifestyle changes, the old thoughts, emotions, and self-perceptions often remain. In this episode of Body Image Shift, we explore why that happens and how learning to appreciate, accept, and...

Is it time to let it go? Whether it's a grudge, resentment, disappointment, or a story you've been telling yourself for years, holding on can take a tremendous amount of energy. It can impact your relationships, your peace of mind, and your ability to move forward. In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I explore the idea of forgiveness, letting go, and the expectations we place on b...

Today on The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I'm joined once again by Kevyn J for a conversation that goes far beyond weight loss. We discuss Kevyn's nearly 10-year wellness journey, including his experience using a GLP-1 medication as one tool to improve his health, the importance of strength training, working alongside your healthcare team, and what it really means to pursue long-term wellne...
