It’s no surprise that there is an increasing amount of insanity in the world today, most of it outside of our control. But there is also an immense amount of insanity taking place in the space 6” between our ears – our brains. Fortunately, that’s the realm we can control and, once we learn to do just that, we can achieve sanity in the otherwise chaotic experience of life.
My guest today is mindset coach to some of the greatest athletes to play like Tom Brady, Desmond Howard, and Michael Phelps, to name a few. His name is Greg Harden and he makes the case for creating sanity out of our lives. We talk about becoming an expert on one subject, the narcissistic tinge of “self-love” and a better alternative, why you must learn to grow through adversity, not merely go through it, four basic needs every man desires and how he can fulfill those for himself, and learning to know yourself and embrace complete acceptance of who you are.

So many of us are so trapped in our current ways of thinking that we do not allow ourselves to take in new information and apply it in a way that may threaten our current reality or identity. Combine that need we have to be congruent in our own lives with the desire others have for us to remain in the status quo and it becomes extremely difficult for us to evolve into new ways of thinking and behaving.
My guest today is a man who has had to continually look at the way he is showing up and incorporate a new set of beliefs and values to drive his life forward. His name is Jamie Kilstein and, today, we talk about individual sovereignty, spirituality vs. the institution of religion, why “grifting” is a concept designed to keep the status quo, caution in becoming overly apathetic, why you should get comfortable with changing your mind, and how to allow yourself to evolve.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The most powerful benefit of this podcast is that each and every week, we get to listen to ultra-successful men, learn what makes them tick, hear which pitfalls to avoid, and simply apply those beneficial lessons into our own lives. And, my guest today is someone imminently qualified to impart his hard-fought wisdom on both the professional and personal front. He is serial entrepreneur, Vic Keller.
And, today, we talk about the power of utilizing our instinct (and how it can be developed), intentionality, and innovation to create long-lasting results in our lives. We also cover the difference between gurus and guides (and how to spot each), a simple formula for how the human operating system works, why you should strongly consider hiring mentors, how to decide what defines you, and so much more.

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.
