“I was building the business… but missing the mission.” Jonny shares the raw truth of how success in business blinded him to what really mattered — time with his daughter. Years of hustle. Constant pressure. Until one day, he realised he was building his life around his business — not the other way around. This is the story of realignment. Of rediscovering what truly matters. And building success from the inside out — as a man, a father, and a leader.

This week on This RomCom Life, we're talking breath, boundaries, and… bar tabs? (Yes, really.)Breath:We dive into the science-backed benefits of meditation — not just for your mind, but for your relationships. I open up about my own journey from meditation skeptic to full-on believer, how it's helped me grow emotionally, and why Dan says it's changed our marriage in ways neither of us expected. Plus, I share how it's fueling my new life coaching work and what it looks like to create calm in the chaos. Boundaries:We explore how the 5-5-5 method (our favorite relationship tool) helps us talk through hard things — without spiraling into arguments. Whether you're dating someone new or 20 years in, this simple technique can totally shift how you connect.Bonding:Dan shares takeaways from a recent father-son trip — the laughs, the awkward silences, and the unexpected connection moments that made it all worth it.Big Feelings:We also open up about the rise in antisemitism, how it's impacting us as a Jewish family, and the importance of staying honest and grounded as partners and parents through painful conversations.Bar Tabs:Finally, we wrap with a fun (and kinda mind-blowing) trend: Gen Z isn't opening tabs at bars. Is it budgeting? Is it dating politics? Is it emotional boundaries in drink form? We've got thoughts — and some nostalgic Gen X takes.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton engages with high-performance coach Greg Denning, who shares his transformative journey from a troubled youth to a successful family man and leader. Denning discusses the importance of self-improvement, creating a 'do not do' list for success, and the challenges he faced while leaving home at 16. He emphasizes the need for men to embrace discomfort, build resilience, and strive for personal growth while maintaining strong family values. TakeawaysThe pursuit of potential is a continuous journey.Progress equals happiness, not destination.Many men feel they are not good enough.Purpose is something we create, not find.The 'when and then' mentality hinders action.High achievers often struggle with internal blocks.Beliefs shape our actions and results.Discipline is key to high performance.Standards determine the quality of our work.Stillness allows for powerful action and reflection. Meditation can feel uncomfortable due to the overwhelming number of thoughts we have.We often avoid pain rather than seeking pleasure, which affects our perception of experiences.Being fully present can help us appreciate the world around us.Stillness is essential for achieving inner peace and calm.Many people feel they are 'doing it wrong' regarding mindfulness practices.Compartmentalization can lead to chaos in different areas of life.Success can be redefined to include joy and fulfillment, not just achievement.The cost of unchecked ambition can be high, including divorce and mental health issues.Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.You don't have to hit rock bottom to initiate change in your life.Chapters00:18 - Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast01:17 - Adam Smith: The High Performance Coach02:16 - The Pursuit of Potential04:13 - Understanding Purpose and Progress07:07 - The 'When and Then' Mentality09:18 - Internal Blocks for High Achievers12:07 - The Role of Beliefs and Standards15:24 - Discipline and High Performance20:14 - The Importance of Stillness23:59 - The Challenge of Meditation and Mindfulness27:31 - The Importance of Stillness for Inner Peace30:10 - Compartmentalization and Its Impact on Life35:43 - The High Cost of Unchecked Ambition38:56 - Redefining Success: Finding Joy and PurposeDenning's Links Website: formidablefamilyman.comInstagram: greg.denning/YouTube: gregdenningPodcast: formidablefamilyman.comFree eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

I don't know aboout you but when life is good, I'm feeling happy, and not stressed it's easy for me to stick to the goals and habits I set out to achieve. But it's like as soon as life throws me a curve ball, I become anxious, or overwhelmed I immediately fall back into old habits of not doing anything; eventhough I know those habits and routines make me feel my best. If that sounds like you, then today's episode is for you. I walk you through how to come up with a game plan that's aligned with your goals, determine if your emotions are a sign to rest or redirect, or if they're an excuse.  It's important to not let temporary emtions make decision that could effect your long term goals. By sticking to a plan rather than letting emotions drive you, you'll begin to build determination, momentum, and self-confidence because you teach yourself that you can trust that when you say you're going to do something, you do it.

In this heart-wrenching and hopeful episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up the Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Esmir, a father whose life has been marked by both deep wounds and divine miracles.   Born in Bosnia and raised in the Midwest after fleeing war with his family, Esmir opens up about the challenges of growing up as an immigrant—navigating a new culture, emotional isolation, and generational trauma. But it wasn't until his youngest son, Jack, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumor that Esmir's life truly cracked open.   What followed was a battle no parent is prepared for. In this raw conversation, Esmir shares how he confronted his own past, leaned into therapy, and began a spiritual journey that helped him support his son through countless rounds of chemo, a high-risk brain surgery, and ultimately, a miracle remission. Along the way, the Cedar Valley community showed up in force—proving that no one fights alone.   This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, redemption, and the love of a father willing to do anything for his family. If you've ever wondered where strength comes from in life's darkest moments, Esmir's story will show you.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction and Greetings 00:27 – Childhood Memories and Upbringing 03:35 – Struggles and Spiritual Journey 06:55 – Father-Son Relationship and Therapy 12:28 – Marriage and Early Fatherhood 26:13 – Jack's Diagnosis and Hospital Journey 41:17 – Cherishing Tatum's Memory 42:40 – The Strength of a Young Angel 44:09 – Community Support and Financial Relief 45:27 – Faith and Personal Growth 46:27 – Jackie's Battle with Cancer 47:28 – The High-Intensity Chemo Journey 50:10 – The Emotional Toll and Family Dynamics 53:36 – The Miracle of Remission 01:06:04 – Reflections on Parenting and Faith 01:13:24 – Gratitude and Future Outlook #JackieStrong #FaithOverFear #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #DadLifeUnfiltered #PersonalGrowthJourney #MiracleStory #HealingThroughFaith #BosnianAmericanJourney #StrongFathersStrongFamilies #DomesticDadPodcast   Website: www.domesticdadproject.com    YouTube: www.youtube.com/@DomesticDadProject   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project

With my co-hosts by my side, we shared honest reflections on surviving the times that challenge us most and the steps we take to find the energy to keep going.

There are patterns we carry that don't always make sense at first—like why we feel guilty for saying no, why success makes us uncomfortable, or why we shrink ourselves in moments when we should feel proud. In this episode, we're exploring one of the most overlooked but powerful forces behind those reactions. It's something that shows up quietly, influences how we speak, what we believe we deserve, and how much space we allow ourselves to take up. We'll talk about where this internal pattern comes from, how it shows up in everyday life, and most importantly, how to recognize it when it's happening. This episode is about awareness, self-compassion, and learning how to let go of what no longer needs to protect us. If you've ever wondered why certain moments trigger deep discomfort, this is the conversation for you. Three Key Takeaways 1️. Some of our strongest emotional reactions today are rooted in protective patterns from the past. 2️. The way we talk to ourselves is often shaped by old beliefs we didn't choose—but we can change that. 3️. The first step to freedom is recognizing what we're feeling and asking: Is this true, or is this familiar?   You're not broken— you've just learned to feel shame in moments where you were once  made to feel unsafe.     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, we are exploring transformative shifts that encourage you to move from constantly chasing achievements to embracing a life filled with ease and alignment through acceptance and allowing. Over the years, I've learned that real transformation doesn't come from relentless striving, but from embracing and allowing the ease and alignment that already exist within us. So let's talk about the life-changing power of shifting how we see ourselves and our worth, moving away from old patterns of fear and inadequacy. If you're tired of the chase and ready to embrace a life that flows naturally towards you, tune in. Let's explore together how to live not by forcing things to happen, but by allowing them to unfold beautifully and effortlessly. Your weekly reflection questions: How might your life change if you shifted from a mindset of achieving to one of allowing, as described in the episode? In what ways have your beliefs and the stories you tell yourself held you back from experiencing the life you truly desire? What would it look like for you to embody the energy of already having everything you need, rather than constantly striving for more?   Like this episode?

A catalyst is something that suddenly causes a change or an event, it is your turning point, that ah-ha moment where you decide to make the change. And the great thing about it is you can choose a catalyst for yourself. You get to decide what your turning point is, it could be right now, this episode could be that catalyst.  In today's episode I am going to share with you some tips and mindset shifts you can make to help you choose your catalyst and decide to make the change that you are wanting to see in yourself. Sometimes it's a big moment that changes us, sometimes it's hitting rock bottom and realizing there's nowhere to go but up, sometimes it's a random Tuesday afternoon and we just decide we've had enough. The beautiful thing about life is it takes one decision to completely change your trajectory. At any point you can decide to go a different direction, you need only make up your mind.

Are you tired of setting goals but not fully appreciating your progress or understanding what's holding you back? In this episode, I'm diving into the transformative power of a monthly review—an often overlooked yet essential practice for intentional, purpose-driven living. In this episode, I'm sharing a practice that has transformed my own approach to intentional living: the monthly review. I'll guide you step-by-step through a simple yet powerful process to pause, reflect, and realign. Together, we'll dive into questions like: What are your biggest wins this month? Where did you see God's hand in your life? What worked and what didn't? What progress have you made, even if it's small? What lessons have you learned from both successes and failures? I also get personal about my own goal journey—sharing where I'm thriving (like sticking to my morning mind renewal practice and making progress at the gym) and where I've struggled (like staying consistent with my nutrition). This isn't about perfection; it's about noticing, celebrating, and adjusting so we can live intentionally and honor God with our time and energy. This practice will help you design a life you love, instead of living by default. Whether you're crushing your goals or feeling stuck, this episode will equip you with the tools to reflect, recalibrate, and thrive.

In this powerful episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett welcomes Quovadis Marshall, affectionately known as Pastor Q, the Pastor of Hope City Church in Waterloo, Iowa, and the author of the life-changing book Fighting for Love: Fighting for Life, Love, and All That Matters. https://www.fightingforlove.us   This conversation delves deep into Pastor Q's remarkable story—a journey from brokenness to redemption. Raised in a home marked by poverty, chaos, and broken relationships, Pastor Q sought belonging in all the wrong places. From gang life to a robbery at age 19 that led to over seven years in prison, his journey is a testament to the transformative power of God's grace and intentionality.   Pastor Q shares how a single moment changed his life forever—the day God knocked on his door—literally—and set him on a path toward healing, restoration, and a renewed purpose. Through candid storytelling, he opens up about his “BC days” (before Christ): a time defined by anger, selfishness, and dysfunction, especially in his marriage. With vulnerability and wisdom, Pastor Q and Nick unpack the lessons that helped him rebuild trust, embrace his role as a leader, and fight for what truly matters—his family, his faith, and his legacy.   Key Takeaways from This Episode: • Building Strong Marriages: Insights from Fighting for Love on how to fight for your spouse, not against them, and how conflict can serve as a tool for intimacy and growth. • Breaking Generational Cycles: Replacing unhealthy family patterns with love, trust, and a purpose rooted in faith. • Fatherhood and Leadership: Why embracing vulnerability and accountability is essential for leading your family with integrity. • Faith as the Foundation: The life-changing power of God's grace in rewriting even the most broken stories.   This episode offers more than inspiration—it's packed with practical advice and biblical wisdom for anyone looking to strengthen their relationships, lead their families, and build a legacy rooted in love and faith.   Nick and Pastor Q challenge listeners to step into their calling, drop the pride, and begin actively fighting for love in their marriages, families, and personal growth. Whether you're seeking encouragement, wisdom, or a fresh perspective on what it means to fight for what matters most, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped.   Fighting For Love Book: https://www.fightingforlove.us   Fighting For Love on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0zSMkzR    Website: https://www.domesticdadproject.com    YouTube: www.youtube.com/@DomesticDadProject   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project
