 "The moment that we switch optimal performance of trying to be somebody else to actually just being myself, then everything shifts. We start to find this beautiful flow, this beautiful dance with life to where we're just crushin' it because we're doing everything that we love to do."  – Lane Belone   What does it mean to unleash your humble alpha? Join me in this episode of The Modern Man as I we...

"One of the biggest problems that's facing humanity today is the fact that we don't see ourselves in reality, as we truly are, in relationship to our environment. We're co-creating our environment constantly. So, we're not victims of the matrix, we are the cause of the matrix, but we're also the cure of the matrix."  – Leo Treadwell We're still exploring what it means to be men these days, but acc...

  "Without vision, people perish." -Bronson Hill Inflation can be our friend... if we know how to use it to our advantage. One way to do that is through real estate. Real estate is one of the few investments that offer long-term value and can continue to appreciate over time without any extra effort on our part! In fact, it is one of the safest investments we can make because it has been historica...

"Your purpose amplifies your identity. It makes you more of who you are because you're working in your identity through your purpose." -Steven Kuhn Our title or position is not who we are— that's what we do. We all go through phases where we feel like we should act or speak a certain way to avoid offending someone. But living in a period when opinions matter more than authenticity and trends try t...

"In the pursuit of chasing something greater, there's more potential that we all have. It just takes going through some hard times to figure out what we're really made of." -Daniel Blue   We can all relate to the feeling of being lost and not knowing where we're going. Some of us are better at navigating our way through these feelings than others, but it's always possible to find ourselves at cros...

"Balanced masculinity [is] where our definition of who we want to be comes from inside ourselves, when we have the ability to look at ourselves more objectively." - Jason Skeesick   If you were to be offered a very promising job, would you take it?    If you answered 'yes' then you're not doing what you were meant to be doing. Because if you were, nothing would be able to stop you from doing what...

"Start changing how you think about things. Don't think like the average person." - Paul Halme   A good money mindset is the key to a successful financial life. It's what separates the people who make money and those who just have it. If we have a good money mindset, we understand that our wealth is not found in our bank account but in our ability to generate income, manage expenses, and build ass...

"Everybody has a unique way of being— You can't escape who you are. And so it's better to be the best you that you can be, rather than trying to be somebody else." -Steven Rudolph Some people think that potential is something that you have, but haven't realized yet. But others believe that potential is something you can only reach when you achieve your goals. Like most things in life, there's a mi...

"There's an opportunity if you have the right mentality." -Chaz Springer El Success is a mindset. It's an internal attitude that influences our thoughts, actions, and emotions. People with a mind set up for success are positive and persistent. They have a strong work ethic and are willing to learn and profit from their mistakes. Most importantly, they are able to remain optimistic and believe in t...

"Who we are is not our pain." -Greg Wieting Trauma is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. However, living with trauma isn't really ideal, especially if it's causing us to act out in destructive ways or making us withdraw and isolate ourselves from the people closest to us.  Trauma can also manifest itself in physical ways. We might start experiencing headaches, body pain, or problems with...

"What you made a choice on does not determine where your life is going to go. It might have an impact on it but you can choose . -Dylan Sessler We've all been prisoners to our own darkness at some point in our lives. Maybe it was abuse, maybe it was addiction, maybe it was trauma—whatever your worst nightmare might be, there's a way out! It doesn't matter how far back your darkest moments are—you...

"Most people who find success are people like me who are too dumb to quit… You are your own champion. Nobody else is going to choose you to stand out front. You get to choose yourself and become that champion." -Donnie Boivin The first step in chasing our dream is knowing how much it's worth. (Read that again.) One of the common traps we will encounter in our journey is the trap of going back to a...

"There's a lot more than what we see and hear and taste and smell and feel. There's a lot more to life." -Ali West Life can change in a moment. A new job, a new relationship, the death of a loved one, or other circumstances can throw us off our game and send us reeling. When this happens, it's tempting to try and make sense of it by thinking about ourselves in terms of how we've always been define...

"These tactics work, but it's dangerous. No business is 100% guaranteed to work so you just want to make sure you've done your due diligence in your research." -LaJuan Hughes   If you're like most business owners, you understand the importance of good credit. After all, your credit score can make or break your ability to get financing for your business.   But what you may not realize is that your...

"Don't do something that you can't see yourself doing for the rest of your life." -Steve Lutsk Finding time to exercise and get in shape is a real struggle for us, men. After all, there's always something else to do—whether it's changing diapers or making dinner, or running our business.  But here's what I know: if we're going to be healthy and fit for life, then we need to make time for ourselves...

"We know what we're capable of, therefore, we suppress it. It's capable of so much bad and it's capable of as much good in the world. And we're robbing the world of that good by completely dismissing it." -Dylan Roos Boys are often taught that being a man is about being tough, taking charge, and never showing weakness. This idea is so deeply embedded in our culture that it's hard to even imagine t...

"You are only responsible for your action or inaction. That's half the equation. What's the other half? All outcomes… belong to God." -Joseph Warren Anger and stress can be a massive drain on our personal lives and careers. They not only take a toll on mental health, but they can also impact our relationships— with other people and most importantly, with ourselves. Feelings of anger or frustration...

"Compassion is a place of understanding without judgment. And in compassion, we can create change." -Jonathan McLernon When it comes to weight loss, self-love, and holistic health, the connection between the three is more apparent than ever. Popular culture has made it clear that the first two are synonymous with the third, but the truth is much more complicated than that.  Many people follow diet...

"In order to scale effectively, we have to be completely removed from the day-to-day operations in the business." -Patrick Rogers   A scalable business is a company that is profitable but also has the potential to become even more profitable, without the owner being directly involved in its day-to-day processes.  Creating a business model like this can be tough. But there are ways to can create a...

"Asking 'why?' is a valid question for a period, but it's not a place you want to live. You have to make a conscious decision not to live in that place." -Phil Cohen   All of us have experienced loss- whether it's a person, a job, a relationship, or a property. And we know so well that there's no way to describe the intensity of the pain we have to go through. During the grieving process, we see e...

"You need some help yourself and it's hard to switch to that mindset. But if you don't do that, you can't possibly be the type of person who's going to give your 100% effort to help other people." -Scott DeLuzio Asking for help doesn't make us weak. It makes us strong! There's a lot to be said for how men can build each other up. But sometimes, some of us men just don't know how to ask for help. I...

"It's our values that drive our decisions for our priorities." -Tyler Foley We're often talking about our priorities in life, but what about the things we value?—the things that make us happy, the things that make us feel fulfilled, and the things that bring us joy. How can we be sure we're making the right choices for ourselves? The key is on how we set and solidify our values. The more we value...
