I MOVED!! Here are the Reasons WHY!

[@AlanThrall]

Glad you’re doing well

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you brother, I need to make it back out to you now that I have more time!

[@MegaVRAK]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial you better : )

[@ghashul]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial More content with you two would be great!

[@BasementBrandon]

Still here. Keep kicking ass.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks so much brother! I’m still keeping up with you as well!

[@irelandforbes9844]

Started watching your videos as a freshman in college and now I’m halfway through medical school. Glad you’re continuing to kick ass man.

[@chrismcnair5292]

Brian, it has been fun watching you grow throughout the years. I have enjoyed learning from your channel. One of the aspects that made me stay with your channel for so many years is how relatable you are, and you "lead by example." Keep up the hard work brother.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I really appreciate that Chris! And thank you for all the support over the years

[@howitzer92]

You're absolutely right. In a similar vein; I got a new job last month. Being comfortable does not lead to growth. Life changes, the world changes, and people need to change.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I very much believe that as well, Howard, and congrats on the new job! I hope it goes amazing for you

[@joeyoest1105]

Awesome! It takes so much guts to turn your life upside down like you’ve done several times now - but you’ve got so many great stories and have met so many great folks, I’m sure. One of the biggest life lessons I’ve learned is the importance of margin in life - that’s so spot on. Busyness seems like accomplishment in the moment, but there’s so much value in having margin available to help others or to help yourself.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I completely agree, my friend and I really appreciate your comment!

[@markom001]

We missed ya, Brian!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I missed all of you!

[@chetvolz8363]

Good for you for stepping up to help where it’s needed. I am experiencing having to spend a lot more time helping my parents with a lot of things (jobs around the house, getting to and from doctors appointments, etc). They sure help us through the years. It’s the least we can do. Enjoy the newest chapter, brother!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I completely agree, brother. Take care of those who took care of you. I hope you’re doing well!

[@coachgb]

My dude, I am in a similar season! I've been in fitness for nearly 17 years. My buddy Gordon S (you played baseball with him) told me I HAD to follow you, and I'm glad I did. Your videos are always fantastic and value-packed. Funny enough, I am also considering going back to school to become a therapist/counselor. At 45 years old the proposition is horrifying, but the urge won't stop nagging me.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You know Gordon! That is awesome man and I truly appreciate the support! He is such a good dude!

[@coachgb]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial one of the best. My first personal training client all the way up to the best man at my wedding. We talked last night and he still speaks really highly of you in many domains of life. I’m stoked to hear more about your journey into therapy/counseling as I decide if I’m making the transition. Thanks for your inspiration in many ways!

[@JerryScroggins-is6rp]

Love to see you always living what you're loving and doing what you're saying, brother

[@jojoshulk]

Always by your side brother! Glad to hear you re progressing and seeking improvement!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much my friend!

[@attilathefun8116]

Congrats! The increased time and financially stability really are huge for setting up for long term success.

[@julianblake8385]

Glad to see you and your loved ones are doing well, Brian. In Hindu and Buddhist philosophies, the bigger your desires, the bigger your problems, and the bigger your losses. Listening to your story, I remembered this. I'm glad that you are downsizing, and that way you can focus your time and energy on what really matters: your health, your loved ones, and your mission. God bless, my friend

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much Julian, I really appreciate that!

[@PenguinzFtMFW]

As a therapist who consumes your content. I wish you the best on this keg of the journey. It is beautiful and fulfilling

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much, it feels like the process is taking a long time, but I know it will be worth it!

I really admire that mindset. I currently even know two ladies, who are both 50 years old and are trying to get into completly new career paths. You really can and should try to change and better yourself at any age, so life stays exciting.

[@waltherwagner9711]

Thank your for this video. It really resonates with me. If you want to grow as a person, you need to make drastic changes. I had to make some hard decisions myself last year for the family. Wanted to go in the intelligence field, but how you said, life happens in seasons and right now I am needed at home, not overseas. I am happy you are not so isolated anymore, because I know society needs good men like you. Stay save and healthy brother!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much brother and I hope your next step comes soon!

I can so relate to this! Our family (wife and daughter) just moved from the suburbs to 25 acres a year ago. It is sooo much work to get the land in order! We go to work and then come home and work a whole lot more lol.. Lots of time, effort and money involved not including house etc! Huge learning curve for us. Thanks for the video! I was shaking my head yes the whole time saying out loud yes, finally someone who knows lol! Love your videos and look forward to following your new adventures!!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You totally get it, Jason! I hope it goes amazing for you brother! Enjoy every day you have there!

[@longlostkryptonian5797]

Great great news brother! At 52, I’ve been through 5 chapters of life myself. Change IS growth when you have a goal. I wish you and your family all the best. Can’t wait for the new content!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I absolutely agree, brother! A goal without a plan is only a dream and dreams rarely come true. Like you said, having a purpose and destination and a plan to get there can make you achieve a lot.

[@matversion2]

You always have the greatest outlook on things. I think that even though i watch you for strongman and lifting advice in general you're philosophy is probably what I've learned the most from. I'm so glad to see you happy.

Awesome! Making big changes later in life is positively terrifying. I've made two major career changes after 40. Speaking for myself, I would have absolutely welcomed help in the adjustment.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

It is definitely terrifying, but chains brings growth which ultimately leads to better things, brother

[@sdsith]

So glad to hear this change is so good for you! Changes are hard, scary, all that, but you're taking them in stride and rocking things. Good for you, Brother! Hope the wife and dogs are doing well with it too! Can't wait to hear more updates on this and school!

Love to see this. I've been following you here on KZbin since roughly 2016-2017. Oddly enough I didn't actually start competing in Strongman until last year lol. Initially I followed because at the time I was competing in BJJ and your content really helped my conditioning for BJJ. Regardless, you've absolutely taken a huge part in inspiring me to continue to grow and evolve not just in the gym, or even on the mat but in life as well. Thanks for leading by example, Brian.

Thanks for the update, Brother! those are all incredibly valid reasons to leave your old place behind. hard to do for sure but as you said it's already paying off in the ways you had hoped. I'm in somewhat the same boat you were. I work physically hard almost every day and having the energy left over for training (and recovery) is def a challenge but I love what I do and try to juggle everything as best I can! I wish you the best of everything in this new chapter of your life and of course look forward to anything you share here or on the sociable medias.

Thank you so much brother and I hope you can find the balance you are looking for!

Your thoughts about making changes so that you grow when you feel like you’re stagnating are so real. I feel like changing scenery also really helps to make time feel longer for me because I have different locations that act as milestones within my memory.

I've been making some serious changes over the last few months. I had stopped training for nearly a year and was stuck in a job with no growth in sight. I ended up spending my free time building towards a different career path, and I took the first successful steps just 5 months ago. I also went back to learning brazilian jiu jitsu, which I hadn't done for more than a year. My mind and body are still adjusting to not having a lot of free time, but honestly, anything is better than the existential dread of waking up in the morning and doing nothing for 16 hours, and then going to bed feeling despondent that I wasted my entire day.
