Why do so many capable young men feel stuck—lacking discipline, direction, or purpose? What separates those who drift through life from those who lead with confidence and conviction?In this episode, we sit down with Steve Montgomery, head of the American Top Team Striking Program, to unpack the hard-earned lessons behind real leadership, discipline, and personal growth.Steve is a Bellator veteran, Ultimate Fighter 25 contestant, and two-time UFC veteran, with a perfect 6–0 amateur record and a 10–6 professional MMA career against world-class competition. With over 15 years of training and 11 years coaching at American Top Team Headquarters, Steve has evolved from elite fighter to elite mentor. He is also a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Bob DeLuca and has coached fighters across the UFC, Bellator, One FC, and beyond.More than titles and wins, Steve brings a passion for building disciplined, high-character individuals. This conversation explores how adversity shapes leaders, why standards matter, and how mentorship can change the trajectory of a life.If you're looking for clarity, strength, and a blueprint for becoming a better man—this episode delivers.Quotes:"You become a product of your environment, but there comes a point where you start to flip the script and make your environment a product of you.""Winning sucks the whole time—until your hand is raised. Everything wants to quit, but that's what makes victory matter.""You have to just do it. If you want to understand something, don't just study it—go do it."Actionable Takeaways:Audit your environment. Take 10 minutes to list the people, habits, and spaces you spend the most time in. Ask yourself: Is this environment shaping me into who I want to become—or holding me back? Make one intentional change this week.Set and enforce one non-negotiable standard. Choose a single daily discipline (training, reading, sleep, prayer, or skill practice) and commit to it for the next 30 days—no excuses, no renegotiation.Seek correction, not comfort. Identify one area where you've been avoiding feedback. Ask a coach, mentor, or trusted peer for honest input—and listen without defending yourself.Lead before you're ready. Look for one opportunity this week to model leadership through action: show up early, help someone improve, or take responsibility without being asked.Redefine winning. Reflect on this question: Am I chasing applause, or am I building long-term character? Write down what “winning” should look like for your life five years from now—and what habits must change to get there.Conclusion:True leadership isn't built in comfort—it's forged through discipline, accountability, and the willingness to grow when no one is watching. Steve Montgomery's journey reminds us that the same principles that create elite fighters also shape strong men: clear standards, the right environment, and mentors who care enough to correct.Whether you're a young man searching for direction or a leader investing in others, this episode challenges you to raise your standards, embrace hard work, and commit to becoming the kind of person others can trust and follow.
