Is your brain hijacked—and you don't even know it?In this powerful and eye-opening interview, Greg Denning sits down with Dr. Trish Leigh, brain expert and author, to expose the truth behind how pornography rewires the brain, destroys motivation, and sabotages relationships—especially for men.With practical brain-based strategies and a deep understanding of neuroscience, Dr. Trish Leigh explains how porn addiction isn't about morality—it's about dopamine dependency and brain dysregulation. She outlines the three types of porn addiction (classic, contemporary, and combined), how early exposure affects young men, and why regulating your brain is the first and most critical step toward freedom.You'll also learn how purpose and engagement in life are the ultimate antidotes to destructive behaviors—and how to begin rewiring your brain today. Whether you're a husband, father, or single man looking to reclaim your focus and rebuild your life, this episode will give you real hope and tools for transformation.Key Takeaways:Pornography is a significant problem affecting many lives.Dr. Trish Lee's personal experience led her to study the effects of pornography.95% of people between ages 8 and 85 consume porn, indicating a widespread issue.The age of first exposure to pornography is decreasing, now as young as 8 years old.Pornography consumption can lead to addiction and changes in brain chemistry.The impact of pornography extends to relationships, causing dysfunction and emotional disconnection.Men are increasingly experiencing erectile dysfunction linked to pornography use.Purpose and engagement in life can help combat the negative effects of pornography.Self-awareness is crucial for understanding the impact of pornography on behavior.Recovery involves unwiring, rewiring, and hardwiring healthy brain patterns.Resources for Dr. Trish Leigh:Website: https://drtrishleigh.comPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rc9WzKlUthuC0s3ADYqkwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtrishleigh/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTrishLeighBrainRewireFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtrishleigh/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Over-Explicit-Matter-Neuroscience/dp/1400346991 RESOURCES:Let me help you in your journey to becoming a more Purpose Driven Leader:Free course!

Raising daughters is challenging and amazing! Girls are physiologically different, they think differently, act differently, react differently, and have very unique needs. They DESPERATELY need dads who are deeply involved and fully engaged in their lives; dads who hear them, see them, understand them and SUPPORT them. Remember, girls are little women and need to be respected and treated as such. There are some serious do's and don'ts with daughters. Your daughters entire paradigm about men, marriage, and life will be influenced and probably determined by their observation and relationship with you.

Men like —and sometimes LOVE —certain things. Fast cars, big trucks, off road vehicles, guns, knives, boats, motorcycles, toys, sports, politics, religion, fitness, adventure, entertainment, movies, etc. While all of those things can be valuable and beneficial, they can each become a destructive force in family life, if not diligently kept within specific boundaries. Unfortunately, most men don't have or don't enforce the boundaries to prevent the wreckage. In this episode, I walk through how I evaluate if the things I like are helping or hurting me as a husband, father, and businessman, and how they affect my family and our family legacy.

Albert Camus said, “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” I was born to be free. I abhor being controlled, being told what to do when it doesn't make any sense to do it. Live your life on your terms. What are your terms? What knowledge and skills must you acquire to even be able to begin to make your own terms? SO MANY things that people chalk up as bad luck are actually self inflicted. What level of freedom do you currently have in the following areas? Fitness Family Finance Are you in bondage to anyofthese? Addiction Vice Suffering , tempers, choices, inner torment It's possible to live most of your life without suffering. The lack of suffering in health, marriage, children, work, is all deliberate.

Are you really, truly prepared for the upcoming chaos? Are your children ready to face hardship, do hard things, and not only launch into adult life, but actually launch and lead in tough times.

What have you been doing to establish solid peak performance preparation? Most are doing nothing. Some are doing a little. Very, very few are truly prepared. My guess is that about 1% of men are prepared. The scary, sad part is that many men THINK they are prepared, but lack a deeper understanding of what it takes and what's at stake.

Become better men by sharing the things that work and helping others succeed. The opposite of a man is not a woman; it's a boy. He also challenges us to ask penetrating questions. Are you are driven to help others as you are to succeed? Are you as willing to get help as you are to give help? Look around at society. You see all the trouble and problems.
