Becoming A Better Man

Men, can we PLEASE stop waiting for motivation to “hit”? It’s not coming until something inside you decides to take action. In this episode we talk about how motivation is the lesser result of something more important that has to happen first...no matter what the desired outcome is.

Men, we make the mistake of either dwelling in the darkness for too long, or running away from it and acting like it doesn’t exist. The point is there’s a darkness that follows us in some form and we have to face it and learn how to have control over it by understanding it. After all, the light shines brighter because of the darkness. In this episode we talk about what that darkness might be to so...

Guys, whether you’re married or single, these pointers can go a LONG way in helping you stay connected with yourself so that you can stay connected with your partner. It’s easy to stick to the surface level stuff, but that won’t get you out in the deep water where you find real contentment with someone else. In this episode we talk about how important it is to know yourself so that you can show up...

Men, we get straight to the point this episode. We’ve had a lot of rah-rah and smoke blowing and even had the roadmap laid out for us, but that won’t get us where we want. That’s when it’s time to hear the truth. No person is going to come along and change your life for the better but you, and you can also be the reason why nothing has changed. Stop looking to change things and start looking to ch...

Guys, if there’s anything that will test your ability to keep a cool head it’s a flat tire. How do you respond to the flat tires of life? In this episode we talk about how remaining calm and identifying the specific cause led to a simpler solution than an adult temper tantrum that many of us want to throw when it’s happened to us.

Guys, we tend to do this and we don’t even realize it...are you more annoyed by people who do things that are similar to the things you don’t like about yourself? Or maybe it’s because it’s a feeling that’s really close to how someone else used to make you feel about something? In this episode we talk about self awareness in those moments of frustration and how some discernment can help make a bet...

Men, are you more comfortable being entertaining or being connected? Because we can’t do both. When we spend our lives trying to be interesting instead of interested, we hide ourselves behind a character that we play in front of the world, then wonder why we feel so alone and tired. In this episode we talk about discovering the entertainer in us, how we use it to avoid connection, and how shocking...

Guys, have you ever struggled with imposter syndrome? Have you ever felt like you weren’t good enough to be successful or worthy of recognition or accomplishment or a certain status? Well then you know imposter syndrome, if so. It’s ok though, because a ton of us have and continue to face it...but this week we talk about how it looks to have it and how to try and manage it.

Men, we don’t always want to admit it, but growth requires shedding of layers. That means shedding people too. If we’re on a path of growth for yourself and our health, career, or relationship, then we have to be aware of those around us and how they’re influencing us. It’s never a bad idea to audit our environment and see who’s got what we want for ourselves and who wants to keep us down by negat...

Fellas, have you got control issues? In this episode we talk about how trying to control things and others in your life is repeatedly backfiring. The more you try to control, the less control you end up having and it spirals. Surrender and trust the bigger plan while focusing on taking care of yourself instead.

Guys...this one is going to be hard. We’re talking about forgiveness this week. I used to think forgiveness meant free passes for repeated pain, because it was what I knew. I hadn’t learned about setting boundaries and connecting with myself so those second chances turned into twenty chances. But you can forgive and still let go of those people. Or you can let go of their power over you emotionall...

Guys, you don’t need to figure out who you really are, ok? Maybe you need to rediscover who you’ve always been, but got lost in the shuffle of abandoning yourself for love and acceptance from others? In this episode we talk about the need to reframe our views of who we really are and how 2020 was a blessing instead of a curse for many of us.

Men, the most successful of us have really unfortunate things happen. Success in any area doesn’t mean immunity. What it does mean is that it reflects an ability to roll with the punches.

Brothers, we’ve all been angry about how angry we’ve gotten before, right? You’ve taken something too far because you felt wronged or needed to prove that you were right and they were wrong...as if that’s going to work. Anger is a symptom of another issue, and when we stop doing things like taking our anger out on the weights or the bottle...and start using the weights as a way to work through why...

Men, it’s time to stop chasing perfection. It’s better to strive for improving instead of being perfect. Otherwise you’re dedicated to some imaginary version of yourself that avoids truth, plays a role of a character, self-sabotages and punishes yourself for missing the mark, then repeating the same mistakes wondering why you failed again. In this episode we talk about why it’s important to identi...

Guys we all know that part of our life where we’ve tried to fake it until we make it. More like, fake it until you mistake it for reality. Trying to live a lie somewhere in your life will ALWAYS catch up to you and drag you down like a vicious horse collar tackle. Time to look deep down and be honest with yourself before it’s too late.

Guys, in this episode we go in on the areas of our lives where we choose to believe narratives about ourselves and others because it’s more convenient than seeing the REAL truth in front of us. The ego is a pain in the ass and will convince you to be the victim or the savior. It’s your choice to face the music and grow beyond it.

Men, we don’t have to be right...but we need to be decisive. There’s nothing more unappealing, unattractive, and unhealthy than a man who can’t make a decision for himself. If you’re more worried about losing respect if you make the wrong decision, you’ve probably already lost respect for not making any decision at all.
