Today on The Casey Adams Show, I sit down with Connor and Rob Darnbrough, the father-son team behind SmartFit Method — a science-backed fitness company built around personalized training and cutting-edge technology. After Rob experienced a life-threatening health scare, they set out to reimagine how people train for longevity, not just aesthetics. In this episode, we dive into the power of adaptive resistance training (ARX), the importance of creating a “physical retirement plan,” and how SmartFit is scaling nationwide through its franchise model. We also explore the lessons they’ve learned building a family-led business, the value of extreme ownership, and what the future of fitness looks like when driven by data, intention, and heart.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
