About The Show
This Is A
Storytelling Experience
Better Beliefs is not just another interview podcast. It’s a storytelling experience for seekers, skeptics, and anyone who senses there’s more to life than what they’ve been told to believe.
In each episode, host Brent Kocal weaves together personal interviews and narrative storytelling to explore how a single shift in belief helped someone overcome a challenge—or changed the entire trajectory of their life.
From business and money to relationships, healing, performance, and spirituality, the stories are diverse—but the pattern is the same:
You don’t need more effort. You need a new way of seeing.
This show isn’t about theories. It’s about transformation.
Real people. Real stories. And the invisible beliefs that shape our visible lives.

Brent Kocal
Seeker. Builder. Belief Breaker.
For 30 years, Brent lived life on max effort—charging full speed into business, fitness, personal development, and anything that promised progress.
He built a successful company that now operates across four states. He competed in CrossFit, finished 38 Spartan Races, and swam across Lake Tahoe. He launched startups in software, apparel, and coaching. He read every book, took every course, hired every expert he could find. If there was something to learn, Brent was all in.
And yet, something was missing.
After years of sleepless nights and a relentless drive that never delivered peace, Brent found himself in the Costa Rican jungle, face to face with his own soul during a series of ayahuasca ceremonies that cracked open his spiritual awareness—and his assumptions about what really creates change.
That experience launched a journey inward. A stripping away of effort, ego, and endless striving. And the insight that changed everything:
The life you live is the result of the beliefs you hold—especially the ones you don’t realize are running the show.
Now, through Better Beliefs, Brent holds space for the kind of conversations that reveal those hidden beliefs—and show us what becomes possible when we let them go.
This isn’t about teaching or preaching. Brent isn’t trying to sell you anything. In fact, for the first time in a long time, he’s not trying to get anything at all.
He’s just here to listen, learn, and shine a light on people with something real to say.
Because what he’s come to believe is this: You don’t need more effort. You need a new way of seeing.

Better Beliefs isn't another show interviewing thought leaders that have gained notoriety in their space. Our show is about telling the story of real people who have made significant shifts in their lives by changing what they believed about themselves or what's possible.
