Society is becoming softer. Society is becoming weaker. This idea of softness is perpetuated by much of society, the school system, media, and entertainment and Hollywood. We do ourselves a huge disservice when we overlook the importance of being strong, tough, gritty, resilient, and all the things that we would traditionally think of when we think …
The Disciplined Pursuit of Less | Greg McKeown
In a world where everyone and everything is clamoring for your attention, it is becomingly increasingly difficult to focus on the vital few as opposed to the trivial many. My guest today, Greg McKeown, the New York Times Bestselling Author of Essentialism, makes the case for why less can actually be more. We talk about …
How to Command Respect
I see so many men who don’t have any level of respect for themselves let alone being able to command any respect from others. I was noticing the other day as I was walking to the post office, that there were people who wouldn’t even look me in the eye. And, not only would they …
Forging Mental Toughness | Ryan Lange
We all know that we need to be mentally tough. There’s no question of that. Yet, forging mental toughness seems to be one of the most elusive pursuits. All of us know how to develop physical toughness but rarely do we have any practices in place that will help us develop mental toughness. My guest …
The Rise of the Peter Pans
Everyone has seen the movie or the play, Peter Pan. What we see is a boy who, for whatever reason, has decided that he never wants to grow up, that he wants to shirk his responsibility and stay in Neverland while he jokes, plays, and engages in practical jokes on the Hook. We realize this …
Dreaming Big and Writing Your Own Story | Charlie Jabaley
All of us have a story. We all have a past. Our prior circumstances define who we are today but do not have to define who we will become moving forward. Too bad most of us never learn to rewrite the script. Today, I am joined by a friend and man who is impacting and …

How we Stop School Shootings
Every time we turn around it seems like there’s yet another school shooting. And, from what I can see, we’re addressing this from a very surface-level perspective. This is not about gun control. This is not about gun regulation. In fact, I don’t even believe it’s fully a gun problem. I think it’s a symptom …
166: Why Men Should Compete | Jake Thompson
The ability to compete is such a critical component of our journey to develop masculinity and manliness. Too bad it’s often viewed as an unnecessary and antiquated way of operating by much of society. Heaven forbid we hold ourselves to a high standard and teach our children to keep score. My guest today, Jake Thompson, …
Bridging the Integrity Gap
There is a gap in most men’s lives and, in fact, I would argue in every man’s life. This gap represents what we know we should be doing versus the things that we’re actually doing. This is the integrity gap. The larger that gap is, the less fulfilled, the more unhappy, the more unpleasant, and …
165: Boys Adrift | Dr. Leonard Sax
Continuing on the theme from last week (because I believe this is such a critical topic right now), today we talk about the fact that young boys seem to be going astray. The school system is stacked against them, society seems to be dismissing masculinity altogether, and being a man is something that actually has …
Crafting the Perfect Morning Routine
Today, I want to talk about such an important topic and one which is easy to overlook simply because we’ve all heard about it so often. That said, I believe establishing a healthy morning routine is one of the most important things you can do during your day as it really establishes the benchmark, the …
A Man’s Responsibility to Future Generations | Matt Labrum
This one is special to me. As most of you know, I grew up without a permanent father figure in my life. I’ve mentioned in the past that there was a select group of men who helped mold and shape me into the man that I am today. I’m not sure there is another man …
