Life is full of hard-learned lessons. We all know that. But it's been said that, “A smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” That's why this podcast is so powerful – because we get to hear from incredible men doing incredible things who can teach us things that would be painful, delayed, and expensive to find out ourselves. And, I can think of few men as qualified to do so as former NASA Astronaut, Mike Massimino. Today, Mike and I talk about some of his best lessons learned in the NASA program and in space including, “no one leaves the pool until everyone passes the test,” learning to adjust to life and your goals along the way, what was different about NASA astronaut candidates that made them successful, knowing when to pivot and break a few rules, and how to achieve the seemingly impossible.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Mike Massimino's books Moonshot and Spaceman What it takes to be an astronaut Space isn't always glamorous Passion and dedication Military culture If you really understand something, you should be able to communicate it to anybody.

We all know there is a formula for success in any venture. We've all heard things like, “success leaves clues,” and seen certain people replicate success over and over and over again. And, yet, so many men struggle to create and maintain success on the professional and personal front of their lives. That's why it's so important we learn what protocols are required to achieve the results we desire. Today, I'm joined by philosopher and CEO, Brian Johnson to talk about his theory of Arete and why success on any level is so simple yet so elusive. We talk about what confidence in others actually is and how to develop it, how talent won't get you all the way to your goals, why intrinsic motivation must be your pursuit, and the Stockdale Paradox and how to use it to your advantage.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Brian's upcoming book Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential Maintaining trust and integrity gaps What were you doing when you were at your best?

Men, our minds are nearly limitless and yet we spend an inordinate amount of time reading, running, working out, practicing hobbies, talking with other people, performing as best we can across various mediums and take so little time developing the power of our brains and minds. Of the nearly 500 guests I've had on this podcast, all of them believe their thing is the most important thing and, yet, it's the mind that makes everything else possible. That's why I wanted to have repeat guest, Jim Kwik back on the podcast to discuss how to leverage the gray matter between our ears.

Every single man listening to this podcast sees issues with the current culture. And, yet, far too many men are unwilling to do anything about it. Whether it's a disdain for current culture commentary or a bad case of apathy, ignoring what we see going on around us isn't going to lead to anywhere positive. My guest today, author and podcast host, Andrew Klavan, is a man who is and has been for decades actively engaged in dealing with the decline of our current culture through writing, producing films, and podcast commentary. Today, we talk about rationalization and justification for doing the wrong things, why so many people tap-dance around biological reality, why we're losing this country through the movies, changing culture through art, when and when not to compromise, and viewing your own life as a work of art.

All of us are interested in finding meaning, purpose, and significance in our lives. And, yet, that all seems to be so elusive for so many. Why is it that some men seem to find their passions early on in life while others seemingly struggle for decades (if not their entire lives) to find the satisfaction they so desperately crave? My guest today, Jim Shockey, is a man who knows the answer. For decades, he's followed his passions from journalism, becoming a world-class athlete, building an empire as the “First-Family of Hunting,” and now best-selling novelist. Today, Jim and I talk about dealing with events outside of our control, why a man must have a vision he's working towards, the concept of self-worth and earned respect, the humility and strength of dealing with loss, and the true meaning of legacy…and how to create it.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Getting started in hunting content creation Recognition should be a byproduct, not the goal It doesn't matter what you accomplish, it maters what people remember your for Be patient and find your soulmate Sticking with a long term vision Live your life, then write a book Bringing two worlds together     Battle Planners are back in stock.

So many of us, as men, are operating from a position of scarcity. We've wired our brains over decades to constantly crave newer, better, more. Ironically, “more” doesn't always enhance and enrich our lives. In fact, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the quest for better actually makes us less happy and less fulfilled. My guest today is Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and his latest book, Scarcity Brain. Today, Michael and I cover why we constantly crave more, the dangers inherent in social media, parameters to consider when looking for abundance in our lives, how to strike the balance between contentment with ambition, and how to finally conquer our scarcity brains.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Balancing contentment and ambition Recognizing and avoiding overindulgence Ways to make your phone less stimulating Buy gear, not stuff Too much clutter impacts productivity Finding gratification in the process Leaning into a higher purpose Learning from hard times   Battle Planners are back in stock.

Every single one of us has a story. We all have a past. And, too many of us live in what we've done in the past rather than use it as fuel to propel us into the future. One of the great comeback stories that you may be somewhat familiar with is Phil Robertson's (from Duck Dynasty) story of perseverance, overcoming extreme hardship, and the path to redemption. His son and co-star of Duck Dynasty, Willie Robertson, is here to talk with me today about his father's story of redemption, their new movie, The Blind, why it's never too late to write the next chapter of your life, digging out of the depths of despair, and overcoming the guilt of past behavior.   Battle Planners are back in stock.

Anxiousness, depression, suicide. These are all growing trends with men. And, it's unfortunate because, with all we know about men's health (physical, mental, and emotional), why is it that so many of us seem to be struggling now more than ever? Isolation, loneliness, loss of ambition, lack of clarity and goals all contribute to the epidemic that seems to be plaguing so many men. It doesn't have to be this way. And, my good friend and author of Building a Non-Anxious Life, John Delony, is here today to tell us how to make it so. We talk about burnout, stress, and numbing behavior, unpacking what value you truly add to the people you care about, how to apply these principles in reality (and practically), why we don't have “maps” for every situation we encounter and what to do about it, and overcoming a past of extreme guilt and shame for past behavior.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Life is meant to have ups and downs Defining anxiety Do you need a chip on your shoulder to be successful?

With the thousands of men I've talked with over the years, it's evident that building and developing confidence is a huge issue for so many men. And, yet, so many men still struggle with the mindsets and activities required to build that confidence in themselves. Many of them believe you're either born with it or you won't ever develop it. That just isn't true. And, my guest today, Bradley Richardson, is here to talk about why that is and what to do about it. Today we talk about why men hang on to unimportant, irrelevant issues way too long, how to deal and cope with a loss of control, knowing what you want and never settling, why many men settle for broken women, avoiding becoming a chameleon to others, and how to regain your sense of clarity and confidence. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Guys tend to get stuck in the past relationships are not just a quid pro quo We need to communicate our expectations and standards What you want may not be what you need What people really want is a connection The bar is so low for men in relationships Control the things you can control Some men use their family as an excuse We kill ourselves with overthinking   Join the Iron Council brotherhood.

All of us agree that the currently political system isn't working, regardless of where we sit on the political divide. With the federal government consolidating and amassing power, it's increasingly difficult to see how they're serving the people instead of the beast it's become. But what is the answer? Is there a solution that moves us closer to what America's founding fathers had envisioned nearly 250 years ago. My guest today, Max Borders, joins us to talk about the concepts in his newest book, Underthrow: How Jefferson's Dangerous Ideas Will Spark a New Revolution. We talk about what it truly means to be free, the idea of a “national divorce,” where socialized services work and where they go too far, the power of decentralization, how innovation is act of subversion, and the difference between and overthrow and an underthrow to change the world.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Community governance Constitution of Consent Downsides to dissolution of the United States A “national divorce” done wrong Why would a new constitution be any different Overthrow is violent, “underthrow” is peaceful Understanding the origin of rights The current system no longer serves us Subversive innovation   Battle Planners are back in stock.

We all know how the west was won – rugged individualism, a bold and daring approach to the new frontier, and a fierce belief in personal liberty and independence. But that does not describe the west or, more specifically, America any longer. We've traded individualism for collectivism, risk-taking for easy handouts, and liberty for big brother. My guest today, Axel Kaiser, makes the case against leftist ideology, why America is the last glimmer of hope in the world, and how a basic understanding of economics could free us all. Today, we talk about public debt and entitlement, whether the leftist ideology that permeates our culture is based in ignorance, stupidity, or malice, why the meritocracy isn't a representation of power hierarchies, and how, if we continue down this path, we may see a new age of darkness.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Defining socialism True capitalism vs. crony capitalism The future of America and identity politics What would civil war look like in the US Is our way of life sustainable? If we lose the US we lose the whole world There is objective reality What happens when you get rid of objective truth? The impact of “losing the universities”   Battle Planners are back in stock.

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.

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.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Being honest and humble gives your more credibility  Leaving room for God to do his thing We know what the “right work” is As Christians, we should be the least self-righteous Surround yourself with people who will help you avoid traps and pitfalls Investigates your beliefs Obsession vs. apathy regarding politics Its ok to change your mind     Battle Planners are back in stock.

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     Battle Planners are back in stock.

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   Battle Planners are back in stock.
