Too many men find themselves drifting through life, stuck in a cycle of passivity rather than stepping up to take control. But what if you could design your life with purpose instead of just reacting to whatever comes your way? Mark Collins joins us today to challenge men to do exactly that—to lead boldly, break free from self-doubt, and unlock the full potential of who they were created to be.

In this episode of Manlihood, host Josh Hatcher sits down with Mark Collins, a business and life coach, pastor, and author of Life Mastery: Living Life by Design, Not by Default.

If you’re ready to stop drifting and start designing the life you were meant to live, this episode will equip you with the strategies and perspective to make it happen. Let’s get into it.
