Exploring Neuromastery With Brock Painter | The Conquer Cast Ep 018
In this episode of The Conquer Cast, Trevor Farnes sits down with Brock Painter, founder of Neuromastery, a holistic wellness company that helps individuals grow physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. They dive into topics of vulnerability, emotional resilience, and the power of community, and discuss the Connect & Conquer Festival—a life-changing event Brock helped create.
If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, trust, or feeling disconnected, this episode will help you understand how embracing emotions, strengthening faith, and leaning on the right people can transform your life.
What is Neuromastery?
Brock created Neuromastery as a holistic approach to personal development. Instead of focusing on just one aspect of wellness—fitness, therapy, or mindset work—he combines all of them to help individuals optimize their lives.
💡 “Personal development today is like a broken mirror—everyone is holding onto one piece, thinking it’s the whole solution. But real growth requires mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual mastery.”
Through coaching, retreats, and transformational experiences, Neuromastery helps people reclaim energy, break through fears, and reconnect with life.
How Trust & Vulnerability Unlock True Strength
One of the most powerful topics Brock discusses is the connection between trust, vulnerability, and personal growth.
🧠 Scientific Insight: Studies show that social connection increases pain tolerance. People physically handle stress better when surrounded by a supportive community.
🔥 “Isolation is one of the biggest causes of anxiety and depression. But when we surround ourselves with the right people, our ability to push through challenges grows exponentially.”
But trusting others isn’t always easy—especially for those who have been hurt in the past. Brock shares practical steps to rebuild trust and create meaningful relationships:
✔ Start small – Trust isn’t built overnight. Begin with small interactions and let them grow over time.
✔ Surround yourself with the right people – Find those who lift you up, push you forward, and hold you accountable.
✔ Embrace vulnerability – Strength comes from opening up and allowing yourself to be seen.
💭 “Fear thrives in isolation. Faith thrives in connection.”
The Connect & Conquer Festival: A Game-Changing Event
Brock’s vision for the Connect & Conquer Festival was to create a life-changing experience where men could come together to push past limits, strengthen their faith, and build lasting connections.
🔥 What made the festival unique?
- ✅ 35,000 meals packed for Operation Conquer Hunger
- ✅ A brutal group workout led by fitness coach Eric McCormack
- ✅ A full sauna + cold plunge experience
- ✅ Breathwork & meditation session with deep emotional breakthroughs
- ✅ Powerful speakers, including Chad Hymas, Corey Stevens, and Bronson Kaufusi
🌟 “People walked away feeling closer to God, more aligned with their purpose, and ready to conquer life’s challenges.”
The biggest takeaway? True strength comes from balancing physical grit with emotional and spiritual resilience.
Lessons from Brock’s Journey
Brock’s personal story is one of persistence, self-discovery, and faith.
🚀 Key Lessons from the Episode:
✔ Faith and fear can’t coexist – Fear is chaos; faith has a plan. Choose faith.
✔ Embrace every emotion – “I want ALL emotions—fear, pain, joy—because every one of them shapes who I’m meant to be.”
✔ Trust the process – Growth doesn’t happen overnight, but by consistently stepping into discomfort and connection.
💡 “The more I trust in God and the people around me, the more I conquer in life.”
