Regret is often used to self-sabotage and retreat into sorrow and victimization. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, regret can be leveraged as a powerful tool to accomplish your most challenging objectives moving forward. Unfortunately, too many men wallow in regret and defeat instead of learning how to tap into their massive and almost unlimited potential.

Today, I am joined by threepeat guest, Jon Acuff, to talk about regret, potential, goal planning, and success. We discuss pursuing small versus large goals, the power of becoming what Jon calls a, “handle maker,” using discernment with regards to the self-development information we consume, the proper response to the, “must-be-nice,” crowd, why you should avoid calling your problems, your problems, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Writing content that will resonate in multiple spaces
• Focusing on your “best moments” instead of your worst
• We naturally gravitate toward accomplishments, experiences, relationships, or objects
• Navigating the overwhelming amount of self-improvement advice and content 
• Easy goals vs. hard goals vs. guaranteed goals
• Set up tactics or easy goals along the path to your big goals
• The best response to “it must be nice”
• The hills pay the bills
• Unless you are keeping score, you have no idea where you are on the path

Some of the most common questions we receive (and this has been consistent over the past 8 years) is how to make a marriage work. And, with the breakdown of my own marriage over the past year, it’s clear to me more than ever how hard the union between two people can be. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible and it doesn’t mean it isn’t worth pursuing.

The benefits of marriage are plenty including the shared responsibilities, the fulfillment found in service to another, and the growth that must take place in order for a marriage to work. Today, I’m joined by Seth and Melanie Studley who focus on helping couples work through their marital challenges and create a thriving relationship. We talk getting back to the basics, the growth vs. fixed mindset, why men must cast vision, common mistakes in marriage, how to recognize the tests of women, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Marriage therapy vs. marriage coaching
• Women unconsciously (and consciously) test men
• Actually getting on a better path instead of just manipulating
• Taking extreme ownership in your marriage
• Erecting appropriate boundaries
• Creating a shared vision for your marriage
• You have to be willing to fight
• Making changes for the right reasons
• You need to clearly communicate what you want
• We need affirmation

With roughly 97% of the population eating meat, it’s mind-blowing that 85% of the American meat supply chain is in the hands of four corporations, two of which are foreign. What’s also disturbing is the deliberate manipulation of beef prices, the rise in food intellectual property (IP) in the form of GMO food solutions and fake meat products grown in a lab, and the regulatory constraints placed on small cattle ranches trying to make our food supply chain more robust and secure.

My guest today, AJ Richards, is leading the charge when it comes to a new way to deliver beef to the American consumer directly from the ranches themselves in order to cut out the excess cost, regulation, manipulation, and build out a stronger, more diverse supply of food. Today, we talk about the crumbling food supply chain, our import to export dilemma, overcoming the monopolies of food producers, why homesteading in America is once again growing, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• City slicker turned rancher
• Losing farms is national security issue
• Beef supply chain is controlled by 4 major companies
• Creating an Uber or AirBnb for meat
• Inspiring the next generation of ranchers
• Keeping the family engaged and interested
• Meat distribution should be regional, rather than national
• Let the local economy dictate the price
• The dangers of opposing the establishment

It’s clear by now the stigma that once surrounded psychedelics has lost some of its power. With the use of psychedelics like Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, and even LSD becoming much more mainstream through personalities like Joe Rogan and all we hear about “plant-medicine,” from some of the most influential people today, it’s time we all start taking a closer look at the ins and outs, pros and cons, and features and setbacks of the world of psychedelics.

Today I am joined by Matt Zemon, a Master in Medical Science in both psychology and neuroscience, and author of his latest book, Psychedelics for Everyone. I am naturally a bit of a skeptic so I took that approach on a topic I admittedly don’t know a whole lot about. We discuss why the stigma around psychedelics and how did that come to be, the use of psychedelics to treat shame, blame, and guilt and other symptoms of “treatment resistant PTSD,” how psychedelics have been used to help people overcome crippling alcohol and drug addiction, the spiritual journey one may discover on his exploration into these medicines, side effects to consider, and how many men are using psychedelics to expand their consciousness.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Psychedelics is a technology
• The psychedelic journey is often a top 5 experience
• Is there a benefit to shame, blame, and guilt
• Defining PTSD
• Psychedelics are not for everyone
• There’s more to it than just “trust the science”
• What is a psychedelic?
• Psychedelics should not be seen as a “cure”
• Using psychedelics to get off other drugs
• Side effects of psychedelics

We’re all familiar with the Warrior Archetype. Many men listening to this podcast embody what it means to be a warrior. But if we are exclusively warriors in our approach to life, we can easily overlook the more gentle, meeker virtues that make us well-rounded men.

My guest today is a man intimately familiar with the balance between the lion and the lamb, the warrior and the poet. His name is John Lovell and he is the author of The Warrior Poet Way: A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well. Today, John and I talk about striking the balance between both, how we’re neither exclusively warrior or exclusively poet, how to become not just dangerous in the physical realm but also dangerous in our virtue, how humility heals everything, overcoming a crisis of identity, and why if there is nothing to protect there is no need for men, and the proper time and place for displaying vulnerability.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• The concept of the warrior poet
• We are lacking both warriors and poets in society
• Jesus is the eternal warrior and poet
• Evil people pulling the political strings
• Everything has become a “political” issue
• Being influenced by Artificial Intelligence
• Pride poisons everything, humility heals everything
• Humility is a source of strength
• Building strength through suffering
• Truth is narrow and exclusive

We’re all tempted, at times, to cut corners, to take the path of least resistance, and to do work less than we’re capable of doing. It’s easy to do in this easily distracted, overly-stimulated environment we all operate in. My guest today, former Navy SEAL, Remi Adeleke is a prime example of doing work right despite our desire to take the easy route.

Author of his latest book, Chameleon, Hollywood director and consultant, and TV reality show star, Remi knows what he wants, what he doesn’t, and how to pursue everything with an eye towards exceptionalism and mastery. Today, we talk about not becoming a “one-note guy,” getting over Fear of Missing Out when declining opportunities, why writing is one of the best ways to articulate your thoughts, why it’s a mistake to write off the success of others, and timeless advice he learned from his mom like the mantra, “Whatever you do, do it right.”

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Doing it all
• Make yourself indispensable
• Creating a fantasy world from your own real world experience
• Coming to America from Nigeria
• Don’t live in the past and play the victim
• Lessons learned from the Bronx
• Do things right the first time
• Chat GPT and AI making people stupid
• Bringing your work to life on the screen

Every one of us has experienced trauma of some sort in our lives. Some more challenging scenarios than others. But it does no good to compare our own circumstances with others, only what those who seem to be able to manage and work past the difficulties of life can teach us.

Combat Rescue Helicopter Pilot, Lt. Colonel Brian Slade joins me on today to talk about strategies he’s learned and developed for overcoming some of the worst scenarios he and others have overcome in their lives. We discuss the concept of “chair flying” as a method for anticipating and preparing for traumatic events, the difference between those who adapt to challenge and those who don’t, why we as men need to wrap our heads around “operating in the ugly,” overcoming festering emotional wounds, and how to triumph over trauma.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• “Just get over it” its not great advice
• Stress inoculation and “chair flying”
• Gratitude and perspective
• Don’t mistake the gunfight (finite) for the mountains (infinite)
• Perspective creates your reality
• Always have an honorable mission
• The only way out is through

Child sex trafficking literally permeates every corner of the globe. It’s despicable, it’s nasty, and it’s a growing trend, even in 2023. Where most men recognize problems in this world, few are willing to put their own careers and lives on the line to create solutions.

My guest today is built different. His name is Tim Ballard and he is the founder of Operation Underground Railroad which exists to rescue children from dangerous and despicable sex rings. Today, we talk about what a truly compassionate border policy would look like, the hyper-sexualization of the world and the degeneracy it leads to, how unintended policy incentives often make problems worse, why evil lurks behind the concept of tolerance, and his latest film uncovering the underground child sex trade, Sound of Freedom.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• The U.S. is one of the top consumers of child sexual material
• Open borders are contributing to the problem
• Its not easy to profile child sexual predators
• Pornography is a gateway
• Sex work is the antithesis of feminism
• When is government intervention appropriate
• Media standing in the way of fighting child trafficking
• The process of finding traffickers
• The Sound of Freedom
