What if every complaint you have about your wife is actually pointing to your own lack of leadership?  Alessandro sits down with Nic Warner, a men's coach who learned radical accountability the hard way through his ex-wife's affair.  Instead of playing victim, Nic asked himself the question that changed everything: "What if I chose this?"

Why should you be the one to change when she's got issues too? You're standing in a relationship standoff. She's got her guns up (criticism, contempt), you've got yours (defensiveness, stonewalling).

What would you actually have to face if you couldn't reach for your phone for the next eight days? Every time something gets uncomfortable, a tense moment with your wife, an emotion you don't want to feel, or just the weight of your own thoughts you grab your phone. You turn on the TV. You find a distraction. You've built an entire life around avoiding the hard stuff, and it's...

Did your wife's tone this morning feel like a punch to the gut? What if the problem isn't her, but the boy patterns you're still running?

In this solo episode, I go headfirst into one of the most damaging lies we've been fed: that masculinity and femininity no longer exist. That we're all the same. That difference is dangerous.

I talk about what happens when we erase the masculine and feminine—and what ge...
