Serious pornography addiction is something millions and millions of men are currently dealing with. Many of these men know their addiction has gotten out of hand and yet they cannot seem to find a way to break the shackles of pornography.
My guest today has worked with thousands of men over the last 4 years to finally overcome their destructive addiction once and for all. His name is Sathiya Sam and today we talk about the three greatest obstacles to overcoming addiction, how viewing pornography is often a symptom of a deeper problem, why safety, intimacy, and significance lie at the root of this addiction, why traditional methods of overcoming pornography don’t work, and 3 pillars every man needs to establish if he hopes to finally free himself from porn.

Psychological safety. It’s not something that we think a whole lot about even though we talk a lot about a man’s innate desire to protect those he’s closest to. But when it comes to the mental and emotional security of our loved ones, we often fall short.
My guest today is my good friend Larry Hagner who is the founder of the Dad Edge and Dad Edge Podcast. Today, Larry and I talk about powerful communication strategies with our wife and kids, how crucial climate is when it comes to communicating effectively, how curiosity serves as a powerful lubricant for improving our conversations, and how to effectively create psychological safety for our loved ones to open up to us.

Failures, victories, challenges, setbacks, ups and downs, and everything in between. They’re all part of life. It’s how we frame the rollercoaster of events and what we do about them that make us men.
Today, I’m joined by longtime friend, serial entrepreneur, hunter, husband, and father, Rick Trimmer to talk about some of his biggest challenges and how he’s learned to overcome the adversity to create an incredible life for himself and family. We cover the path of least resistance and the path of most resistance, overcoming failure and losing everything, doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, and putting one foot in front of the other every day.

With as much craziness and violence we see in public these days, it’s crucial that we as men learn how to effectively protect and defend ourselves and those we love. Fortunately, with a little intentionality and planning it’s not all that difficult to keep ourselves and others safe.
Today, I’m joined by Former Navy SEAL, FBI Agent, and Federal Air Marshall, Jonathan Gilliam to talk about how to do just that. We cover the concept of preparation versus paranoia, the default of awareness, when to get involved in situations and when not to, the “crawl, walk, run” theory, and recognizing and neutralizing threats before they occur.

Hunting is not only something that provides a challenge and sustains life for many of us, as it has for countless generations. But it also provides unique and powerful opportunities to build bonds between those with whom we share these experiences. Last week, I had the opportunity to share such an experience with my son, Brecken, as we set out on a moose hunt in the wilderness of northern Maine.
On today’s episode, Brecken and I share the story of how we harvested a beautiful bull moose in an epic hunt, filled with disappointments, missed shots, but ultimately success…and how the greatest success of all had nothing to do with hunting.

With as much information available to us this day and age, it’s hard to decipher which information to consume and which we should be listening to in the first place. Everywhere we turn, we’re inundated with sensational headlines designed to capture our eyeballs, not necessarily keep us informed.
Today, I’m joined by TV and Radio host and political commentator on Fox News, Brian Kilmeade. We cover a wide range of topics including the shifting of the Overton Window in media, the course correction America needs, how to determine which information is worth pursuing, what role the American citizen plays in this, the overdose of information we’re all dealing with.

Eldredge says “Boyhood Above all else, is a time of being the beloved son, the apple of your father’s eye. A time of affirmation. For though I maintain my premise laid out in Wild at Heart—that every man shares the same core Question, which is “Do I have what it takes?”— Before and beneath that Question in a man’s search for validation lies a deeper need—to know that he is prized, delighted in, that he is the beloved son.”

Anytime you mention the word, “politics,” you know you’re in for a charged and polarizing conversation but it’s crucial we talk more about politics and the policy that comes with it because it impacts every facet of our lives.
My guest today, Congressman Dan Crenshaw, joins me to talk about the key issues impacting culture and society today including a healthy approach to reaching across the aisle, why it’s important for conservatives to have a voice in what we typically view as liberal issues, not only the far left but the far right – something he calls, “woke conservatism,” the importance of humility and open-mindedness, and distinguishing between politics and policy.
