What if the real reason your relationship feels off has nothing to do with love and everything to do with how you handle conflict?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with my brother Jayson Gaddis for one of the realest conversations I've had about relationships, conflict, masculinity, and what it actually takes to build a thriving partnership while still chasing big dreams. Jayson is the founder of The Relationship School, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Getting to Zero, a husband, a father, and a former licensed psychotherapist who has spent decades in the trenches helping couples repair connection and communicate better. Over 100,000 people have gone through his programs, and it's easy to see why this dude doesn't sugarcoat the truth, but he delivers it with heart, humility, and wisdom.This episode matters because a lot of high-performing entrepreneurs are unknowingly burning down their most important relationship while trying to build everything else. We're great at hiring coaches for business, fitness, and money, but when it comes to marriage or partnership, we assume we should “just know.” Jayson breaks that myth wide open and shows why conflict isn't the problem… avoiding it is.One of the biggest takeaways for me was how ego and defensiveness quietly sabotage connection. Jayson explains how many men react from shame without realizing it, and how that defensiveness blocks intimacy and trust. Another powerful lesson was reframing conflict as a skill, not a sign you're with the wrong person. Conflict is inevitable. Learning how to repair is what separates relationships that grow stronger from those that slowly erode.We also dive deep into one of the most practical tools I've ever learned for communication: LUFU—Listen Until the other person Feels Understood. Sounds simple, but it's a total game-changer. Jayson walks through how to actually do it in real life, not theory, and why leading with understanding, not apologies, calms the nervous system and creates safety. That alone can transform how arguments end… and how connected you feel afterward.Another huge insight was understanding attachment styles, why one partner often wants space while the other wants to talk, and how those childhood patterns show up under stress. When you can recognize the dynamic underneath the argument, everything shifts. You stop fighting the person and start addressing the pattern.Finally, Jayson brings it home with a reminder we all need: great relationships aren't built when things feel easy; they're built through consistent repair, honest conversations, and a willingness to grow. Just like the gym, you don't work on your relationship only when it's broken. You train it for the long game.If you want to build a business you're proud of and a relationship that actually fuels your life instead of draining it, this episode is a must-listen. What does Happy Hustlin mean to you?Jayson says it means I'm working hard, it's not coming at the expense of my marriage or my kids or my own health and well-being.
