Man of Class

  Executive Summary Most men do not wake up one day and decide to wreck their marriage, neglect their health, lose their faith, become emotionally distant, or live a life they regret. More often, it happens slowly. One skipped workout. One avoided conversation. One more night of numbing out. One more week of saying, “I’ll get back on track soon.” That slow movement away from who a man is call...

  Executive Summary Most men say they want the next level — a stronger marriage, deeper faith, better health, greater leadership, more purpose, more influence, and a lasting legacy.

  Executive Summary Most men don’t lack potential — they lack follow-through.

 Faith, hope, and love can sound like soft words — the kind of words you hear in church, at a wedding, on a bumper sticker, or printed on a coffee mug. But they are not soft.

  Executive Summary In Episode 70, Eric breaks down why so many men feel stuck, distracted, and quietly hopeless even in a world full of opportunity.
