093: Why Do Men Fail At Relationships? W/ Jayson Gaddis 1:30:20

1d ago1:30:20

1:30:20

I used to think that the keys to great health were eating right, exercising often, and getting enough sleep. While these are good for your health, they pale in comparison to the quality of your relationships. In fact, a Harvard study proved that your relationships are the #1 most important factor for your overall health and wellbeing. But many guys…

092: Why is Self-Care so Difficult? 12:31

8d ago12:31

12:31

Most guys who are interested in self-care and self-improvement struggle heavily with it. Flicking on the TV or loading your favorite social media for doom scrolling is so much easier. Especially when you lead a busy life and are responsible for your family. And you know what? I struggle with this too. It’s a daily battle to pick the activity that’s…

1:42:56

Here’s an uncomfortable truth: You will get injured at some point on your fitness journey. While we can do our best to prevent injuries, injuries are unavoidable. But just because you’ve injured yourself doesn’t mean you have to be sedentary for months. In fact, after listening to this episode, you might be able to cut your recovery time in half. H…

090: 3 Simple Strategies For Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Overwhelm 20:28

22d ago20:28

20:28

For whatever reason, men are particularly bad at managing their stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. I’ve struggled with this myself. Everyone struggles with this. But why? As men, we’ve been discouraged to give our emotions the validation they deserve. Instead of confronting issues, we avoid them by turning into workalcoholics or exercise junkies. Whil…

29d ago1:36:11

1:36:11

Something devastating happened to you when you turned seven years old… You figured out your default state of being and thinking and trapped yourself in a “mind matrix.” Inside this “mind matrix,” your ego formed, your defense mechanisms solidified, and you started living the rest of our lives on autopilot. This happens to everyone, not just you… Bu…

Ep087: Why Men’s Emotional Wellbeing is Declining & How to Fix It with Connor Beaton 1:35:39

1M ago1:35:39

1:35:39

One of the most understated things that most men carry around unknowingly is some type of deep grief or sadness that comes from your childhood. But therapy, which is dominated by women, doesn’t give the best route to confront, address, and accept these deep-seated feelings. To make matters worse, most men are so out of touch with their emotions tha…

086: The Best Way To Improve Your Mental Health (That Most Guys Overlook) 20:17

2M ago20:17

20:17

Despite never having easier access to other people, men today are lonelier than perhaps any other point in history. We don’t deeply connect with each other. We don’t share our struggles in a vulnerable way. And it comes with the steep cost of loneliness, stress, overwhelm, and other mental health issues. But there’s not a more effective way to over…

2M ago1:30:00

1:30:00

Motivation is a fickle beast. One day, your motivation soars and you finally start a fitness program. The next day, your motivation strands you and threatens your goals. The trickiest part about motivation is how quickly it comes and goes. Despite it consistently being unreliable, we still feel the need to want to feel it before tackling a big goal…

2M ago23:42

23:42

What do you do when you’re stuck in a rut and your motivation is running out? If your first reaction is to berate yourself out of it or deny that it’s happening—a problem men in particular struggle with—then, well, you can actually prolong the rut you’re in. I’ve experienced this myself. And I’ve also found a better, more productive way to handle a…

2M ago1:38:08

1:38:08

Men today live in a constant state of stress. Despite never being safer from external threats, modern society presents us with more stress than any other generation before us—and it’s killing us. In fact, when you live in a constant state of stress, things that are considered healthy—like weight lifting, cardio workouts, and cold & hot therapy—actu…

3M ago29:54

29:54

Today’s hustle culture tricks men, myself included, into jamming more activities into our day to become more productive, more successful, and more fulfilled.

More people than ever have the option to work from home. But is working from home all it’s cracked up to be? Well, working from home may boost your productivity, work-life balance, and reduce your overall stress.

078: Why You Should Attend a Men’s Retreat in the Near Future 24:38

4M ago24:38

24:38

The biggest problem affecting men today is that we don’t get to connect with similar men on a deeper level. I struggle with this too, so you’re not alone. Modern life fills our calendars with to-do’s, family, and stress, which doesn’t leave much time to connect deeply with other men. When we do hang out with other men, it’s usually superficial: Wat…

1:29:19

We’ve been told conventional health wisdom so much that most people believe it blindly. Things like you need to do cardio to lose weight. Eating fat makes you fat. And you need to eat at least 3 servings of grains to be healthy. The trouble is, these conventional health wisdoms aren’t true. And today’s guest, Mark Sisson—founder of Primal Nutrition…

By the end of January, 43% of people had already quit on their resolutions. And only 9% of people actually complete their resolutions by the end of the year. Why?

25:37

Modern society, social media, and other outside forces convince us that we’re not living up to the best version of ourselves.

But here’s the thing… The fastest and most effective way to create positive change in…

5M ago1:43:24

1:43:24

The self-help industry is a massive industry. And for good reason: Self-help can teach you how to be the cause in your life rather than the effect. It shows you that you can change your life’s direction and outlook. But what if self-help doesn’t work for you? What if you’ve read all the books, and still find yourself stuck? The unfortunate truth is…

When we start something new—whether a new financial plan, fitness regimen, or diet protocol—there’s a period that happens a few weeks in when we haven't seen results, and start doubting ourselves.

7M ago1:30:28

1:30:28

While the phrase “mental health” has never been more popular, the sad truth is that men’s mental health is at an all-time low. We shy away from tough conversations with loved ones, we don’t have a group of other men to vent with, and sometimes we have no clarity over our emotions. But there is nothing more important as a man than your mental health…
