Stop Fumbling Your Health At The Goal Line with Brian Parana 59:26

12d ago59:26

59:26

What if the fastest way to lead better at work and love harder at home is to treat your health as the ultimate leverage point? We sit down with veteran coach Brian Perana to unpack why energy, not willpower, drives your ability to influence, connect, and show up with presence—and how small, consistent choices create the kind of self-trust that chan…

19d ago38:54

38:54

The night gets loud when the house goes quiet. Andy remembers pacing his apartment after a year that shattered his marriage, injured his body, and knocked him down at work. A beer took the edge off—until it started stealing presence, purpose, and the man he wanted his kids to see. What followed wasn’t a highlight reel. It was a string of small, stu…

22d ago13:32

13:32

Ever notice how “having it together” can feel like acting in your own life? We dig into the subtle ways men get trapped in performance—always adding value, sounding composed, keeping it polished—and the invisible cost that shows up as disconnection, low-grade anxiety, and lost intimacy. Instead of chasing approval, we make the case for a different …

Why Adult Friendships Are Hard for Men (And How to Build Them Anyway) 25:21

29d ago25:21

25:21

One honest question on a dusty tailgate revealed a truth many men live with but rarely name: we can share trails, tables, and years without ever being truly known. From there, the story turns—through divorce, fear, and the ache of not knowing who to call—into a hard-earned map for building real brotherhood. I walk through the shift from doing to be…

The Lies Men Live By—and How to Rewrite Your Story 26:17

1M ago26:17

26:17

The most dangerous stories are the quiet ones we tell ourselves: I’m fine, I don’t need anyone, it’s too late to change. They sound reasonable, even wise, yet they slowly script our choices, our relationships, and the limits of our identity. We open up about how those subtle lies form, why smart men believe them, and what it takes to trade false sa…

Why ‘Strong, Silent’ Is Killing You: Emotional Presence Rewired 17:35

3M ago17:35

17:35

Have you been wearing "low-maintenance" like a badge of honor? That easygoing, never-complain attitude might feel like strength, but there's a hidden cost we rarely talk about.

Self-doubt and imposter syndrome don't wait for you to fail before they appear—they show up right when you're building something meaningful, even as others recognize your value.

What quiet belief have you been living by that you never consciously chose?
