They pray for the strength to stop.   But days later… they find themselves right back in the same place.   The same screen. The same behavior. The same shame.   So the question becomes: Why do men keep watching porn… even when they genuinely want to stop?   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich breaks down the 7 real reasons men remain stuck in the cycle of porn addiction — even when they feel disgusted with the behavior.   This conversation goes deeper than surface-level advice and exposes the psychological, environmental, and identity-level patterns that keep men trapped.   If you've ever asked yourself "Why do I keep going back to something I hate?" — this episode will give you answers.   More importantly, it will show you the path forward.   In This Episode You'll Learn • Why porn addiction creates a hidden double life for many men • How the cycle of porn leads to shame, self-hatred, and loss of self-respect • The surprising reason most men are addicted to the relief, not the porn itself • How porn rewires the brain through dopamine conditioning and novelty • Why isolation and secrecy keep men trapped in addiction • How your environment and habits may be setting you up for relapse • The deeper identity shift required to truly break free   The 7 Reasons Men Keep Watching Porn Coach Frank breaks down the core patterns behind the addiction cycle: Trying to quit the behavior without rebuilding the man Living a life that feels overwhelming or unfulfilling Neurological conditioning from years of dopamine stimulation Fighting the battle in isolation Removing the habit without replacing it Living in an environment designed for relapse Becoming addicted to the temporary relief porn provides   Understanding these patterns is the first step toward breaking them.   The Truth Most Men Never Hear   Porn addiction isn't just a behavior problem.   It's an identity problem.   Freedom doesn't come from simply trying harder.   It comes from rebuilding the man behind the addiction — a man with discipline, purpose, brotherhood, and standards.   Start Your 7-Day Porn Reset If you're ready to finally break the cycle and start rebuilding your life, the best place to begin is the 7-Day Porn Reset.   Inside this free challenge, Coach Frank walks you through the exact process to: • Break the relapse cycle • Reset your brain and dopamine system • Build discipline and structure • Begin the journey of becoming The Rebuilt Man  

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   What if the biggest struggle facing Christian men today is the one nobody talks about?   The Truth Most Men Never Hear   Porn addiction isn't just a moral issue. It's an intimacy disorder.   Many men turn to pornography not because they want sex—but because they are trying to escape stress, loneliness, pressure, or emotional pain.   Real freedom comes when a man learns to process those emotions, build brotherhood, and reconnect with God.   Freedom Is Possible   Coach Frank Rich spent 20 years trapped in pornography addiction.   Today, he has walked in freedom for more than seven years and has helped thousands of men break the same cycle.   His mission is simple: To help men rebuild their identity, reclaim their integrity, and become the leaders God created them to be.According to recent research from the Barna Group, 75% of Christian men regularly consume pornography. Even more concerning—64% of those men say they are comfortable with it.   That means the majority of men sitting in church every Sunday are quietly fighting a battle they feel powerless to win.   But what if freedom is actually possible?   In this powerful message delivered at a men's church event, Coach Frank Rich shares his personal story of spending 20 years addicted to pornography before finally breaking free. Today, Frank has walked in freedom for over 7 years and has helped thousands of men rebuild their lives and break the cycle of porn addiction.   In this episode, Frank reveals the five principles that have helped thousands of men break free from pornography and reclaim their identity as leaders, husbands, fathers, and men of faith.   This message is raw, honest, and deeply convicting—and it's a reminder that no man is beyond redemption.   What You'll Learn In This Episode • The shocking statistics about porn use among Christian men • Why porn addiction is destroying relationships, marriages, and leadership • The neuroscience behind how pornography rewires the brain • The real reasons men turn to porn (hint: it's usually not sex) • Why shame and secrecy keep men stuck in the cycle • The difference between behavior modification and identity transformation • How to rebuild self-respect and personal integrity • Why gratitude is one of the most powerful tools for rewiring the brain • How brotherhood and honest conversations unlock freedom     The 5 Principles That Help Men Break Free In this message, Frank breaks down five powerful principles that have helped thousands of men reclaim control over their lives.   1. Tell The Truth Freedom begins with honesty. As long as a man hides his struggle in secrecy, that struggle holds power over him. The moment a man begins speaking the truth about what he's facing, the grip of addiction begins to weaken.   2. Learn To Say No Self-control is a muscle. Learning to say "no" to smaller temptations—like food, social media, or comfort—strengthens the discipline needed to resist bigger temptations like pornography.   3. Focus On Identity, Not Just Behavior Trying to quit porn by force rarely works. Real change happens when a man stops trying to modify behavior and starts transforming his identity—becoming the type of man who simply doesn't live that way anymore.   4. Build Your Self-Reputation Your mind is constantly tracking whether you keep your word. When a man repeatedly breaks promises to himself, he loses trust in his own discipline. But when he begins doing what he says he will do, his confidence and integrity grow.   5. Live From A Place Of Gratitude Pornography is often an escape from stress, loneliness, or dissatisfaction. But when a man begins practicing daily gratitude, he rewires his brain to appreciate the life he already has—and stops feeling the need to escape from it.     Ready To Break The Cycle?

After all, she's the person most affected by the addiction.   But in reality, putting your wife in the role of accountability partner often creates more tension, more pressure, and more damage inside the relationship.   Because when your wife becomes the one responsible for monitoring your recovery, the marriage can slowly start to feel less like a partnership… and more like probation.   In this episode, I break down why this common approach backfires and what real accountability actually looks like for a man who wants to rebuild his life, his integrity, and his marriage.   If you're a married man struggling with porn addiction—or trying to rebuild trust after betrayal—this episode will help you understand the structure, brotherhood, and leadership required for real change.   In This Episode You'll Learn • The accountability mistake many married men make when trying to quit porn • Why making your wife your accountability partner can damage the marriage dynamic • How this dynamic can unintentionally kill attraction and trust in a relationship • The difference between transparency and responsibility • The 3 levels of accountability every man needs for real transformation • Why brotherhood and male accountability are essential for overcoming porn addiction • How to rebuild integrity and leadership as a husband     The 3 Levels of Accountability Every Man Needs Real transformation happens when these three levels work together:   1. Self Accountability Learning to keep your word and build discipline in the small daily habits that shape your identity.   2. Peer Accountability Surrounding yourself with other men who challenge your excuses, ask hard questions, and hold you to a higher standard.   3. Expert Accountability Getting guidance from someone who has helped hundreds of men break the cycle and rebuild their lives.   When these three levels work together, something powerful happens:   You stop trying to manage the addiction… and you start becoming the man who no longer needs it.   A Message for Married Men Your wife should absolutely be part of your journey.   But she shouldn't be responsible for managing your recovery.   She should be your partner in the life you are building, not the person trying to police your behavior.   When a man steps into real accountability and leadership, his wife doesn't have to carry that burden anymore.   Instead, she begins to experience the man he is becoming.   Ready To Break The Cycle?

It rewires your attraction.   Through the lens of neuroscience, psychology, and real-world experience coaching thousands of men, Frank explains how modern pornography is training the male brain to crave endless novelty — and why this can make real intimacy feel less exciting over time.   But there's good news.   The brain can heal.   And when men remove porn and rebuild their lives with purpose, discipline, and brotherhood, attraction and intimacy can return stronger than ever.   If you've ever wondered why porn seems more stimulating than real life — this episode will give you answers.   In This Episode You'll Learn • Why porn can make real women start to feel "boring" • How dopamine desensitization impacts attraction and arousal • The role novelty overload plays in modern porn consumption   • What the Coolidge Effect is and how porn exploits it • How porn can contribute to porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED) • Why many men lose desire for real intimacy after years of porn use • How the brain can rewire itself when porn is removed • The first steps men can take to begin rebuilding their attraction and sexual health     The Truth Every Man Needs to Understand Your brain wasn't designed for unlimited novelty.   But porn provides exactly that — endless stimulation, endless variety, and instant dopamine.   Over time, this can train your brain to respond more strongly to screens than to real connection.   The result?   Men start experiencing: • Reduced attraction to their partner • Difficulty becoming aroused during sex • Performance issues or erectile dysfunction • A growing dependence on porn for stimulation   But the good news is that your brain is capable of change.   Through a process called neuroplasticity, the brain can recover sensitivity, restore attraction, and rebuild healthy intimacy.   And it starts with removing the stimulus that's hijacking your brain in the first place.   Start Your Reset Today If you're ready to begin rewiring your brain and rebuilding control over your life, start with the free 7 Day Porn Reset.   Thousands of men have used this challenge as the first step toward reclaiming their focus, their discipline, and their relationships.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In this powerful I Am Rebuilt episode of the The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich sits down with former student Larry Fuentes to share one of the longest and most profound transformation stories ever featured on the show.   At the time of recording, Larry has been over 16 months free from porn, after struggling with porn addiction, compulsive behaviors, and identity confusion for nearly two decades.   This is not a story about willpower or quick fixes. This is a story about identity change, radical responsibility, faith, and rebuilding life from the inside out.   Episode Summary Before joining The Rebuilt Man in October 2024, Larry was trapped in a recurring cycle of relapse that escalated beyond porn and into dangerous real-world behaviors. Years of addiction had stripped away his self-worth, distorted how he saw himself and others, and left him without direction or purpose.   Although he had tried multiple recovery paths in the past, including 12-step programs, Larry realized something critical during this journey: his addiction wasn't the real problem, it was a symptom of a deeper identity issue.   Inside The Rebuilt Man, Larry was challenged to stop reinforcing an "addict identity" and begin building a new one. Through structured discipline, community accountability, faith, and daily identity-based action, everything began to change.   As Larry surrendered fully to the process and the brotherhood, he began facing old resentments, taking ownership of his past, rebuilding self-respect, and learning how to live with courage instead of avoidance.   Today, Larry describes his life as finally beginning. With clarity, purpose, and confidence restored, he's pursuing meaningful passions, building healthy relationships, and stepping into a future he once believed was impossible.   His message to the man still struggling is clear: Freedom is possible… but it requires effort, honesty, risk, and a willingness to rebuild your life.   What You'll Learn in This Episode How porn addiction often escalates beyond the screen when left unaddressed   Why identifying as an "addict" can keep men stuck in the cycle   The power of identity-based transformation vs. behavior control   How discipline, discomfort, and structure rebuild self-trust   Why porn is often a symptom of deeper emotional and spiritual wounds   The role of brotherhood, accountability, and faith in lasting freedom   What life actually looks like on the other side of porn addiction Key Takeaway Porn addiction isn't the core problem—it's a signal. When a man rebuilds his identity, his habits follow.   Larry Fuentes' story is proof that no matter how long the struggle has lasted, real freedom and a meaningful life are possible.   Take the First Step Toward Freedom If you resonate with Larry's story and want to begin rebuilding your own life, you're invited to start with the FREE 7 Day Porn Reset.   You'll get: 7 days of clear, actionable steps A free trial inside the Rebuilt Man Brotherhood The same community and structure that helped Larry create lasting freedom   About The Rebuilt Man Podcast The Rebuilt Man Podcast helps men break free from porn, rebuild identity, and step into disciplined, purpose-driven leadership.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset For decades, the porn industry has sold men a lie.   A lie of freedom. A lie of self-expression.

They stay stuck because, deep down, they don't believe they're worthy of a better life.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich breaks down why investing in yourself is not optional if you want real growth and freedom in 2026. Too many men talk about change, pray for change, and consume content about change but never make a decision that actually rewires their identity.   Frank explains how every refusal to invest in yourself sends a powerful signal to your subconscious that freedom isn't a priority and how that belief quietly fuels the relapse cycle.

JOIN "THE REBUILT MAN" ON SKOOL - ▶️ www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   In this powerful episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich dismantles the traditional recovery model and exposes a truth most men have never been told:   If quitting porn feels hard, you're not pursuing freedom, you're pursuing sobriety.   Frank explains why most recovery systems keep men trapped in cycles of willpower, fear, shame, and relapse by focusing on behavior management instead of identity transformation. He draws a clear line between white-knuckled sobriety and true freedom, the kind that comes from becoming a man who no longer wants, needs, or desires porn.   This episode breaks down 12 core reasons why freedom always beats sobriety, and why real change only happens when a man stops trying to "manage addiction" and starts rebuilding who he is at his core.   If you're tired of counting days, fighting urges, and living in fear of relapse, this episode will reframe everything you think you know about recovery.     What You'll Learn in This Episode Why sobriety keeps porn at the center of your life and freedom removes it entirely   How identity always outperforms willpower and behavior management   The hidden reason avoiding temptation actually makes men weaker   Why urges aren't enemies, but signals pointing to deeper issues   How labels like "addict" shape your future and how to reclaim your identity   The difference between surviving addiction and stepping into purpose   Why freedom isn't something you do, it's who you become Key Takeaways If quitting porn feels hard, you're aiming for sobriety, not freedom   Sobriety manages behavior; freedom transforms identity   Willpower creates fragile men, alignment creates strong ones   Sobriety lives in fear of relapse; freedom lives in certainty   Avoidance is not strength, self-leadership is   Recovery keeps you inward-focused; freedom gives you a mission   Urges are signals, not commands   The name you accept determines the life you live Freedom is not abstinence, it's transformation   About the Reboot Your Life Philosophy   Frank also breaks down the philosophy behind Reboot Your Life, the identity-based system inside The Rebuilt Man.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank exposes the war being waged against men and how pornography is one of the enemy's most powerful weapons.   From early exposure and addiction cycles to cultural confusion and weakened masculinity, porn is systematically destroying men, families, and communities. But there's hope. Coach Frank outlines practical, proven steps from his Reboot Your Life program to help men reclaim their identity, break free from addiction, and rise as leaders in their homes, churches, and society.   If you've ever felt stuck, ashamed, or powerless in the fight against porn, this episode will equip you with the mindset, habits, and brotherhood needed to win.  

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich breaks down the 5 stages of porn addiction (exposure, habituation, addiction, escalation, and destruction). He reveals how porn follows a predictable cycle that traps men in secrecy and shame, and more importantly, how you can recognize where you are in that cycle and begin to rebuild your life.   Frank shares practical steps from his Reboot Your Life program, including accountability, the Daily 5, training in discomfort, and creating a vision for your future to help men quit porn and step into true freedom.   If you're tired of relapsing, hiding, and losing ground to porn, this episode will show you the exact roadmap to reclaim your integrity, confidence, and purpose.  

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   AI porn and deepfakes aren't harmless “curiosities.” They're traps. Synthetic novelty is hijacking men's brains, searing consciences, and destroying integrity at a faster rate than traditional porn ever could.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank exposes the dark reality of AI porn and deepfakes. He breaks down the science of how your brain's reward system is wired for novelty, why synthetic content creates infinite dopamine spikes, and how this leads to rapid desensitization, shame, and addiction.   But this conversation isn't just a warning, it's a roadmap. Frank introduces his proven Reboot Your Life framework, showing men how to guard their gates, rebuild identity, and walk in true freedom. With practical tools like the Daily 5 habits, radical accountability, discomfort training, and a renewed vision for the future, you'll discover how to break the cycle of counterfeit intimacy and pursue the real connection God designed you for.   If you've ever told yourself AI porn is “harmless,” this episode will dismantle that lie and challenge you to step into your calling as a man of integrity, discipline, and faith.    

JOIN “THE REBUILT MAN” ON SKOOL - ▶️ www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Traditional recovery models focus on filters, willpower, and endless support groups. But if you've tried those methods and still find yourself stuck in the cycle of porn addiction, you know they don't work.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich reveals why most men stay trapped and how the Reboot Your Life program offers a radically different, proven path to freedom.   Instead of just managing behavior, Reboot Your Life helps men rebuild their identity, faith, body, and purpose. This holistic, action-driven system integrates faith, fitness, daily structure, and brotherhood so you can finally break free and become the man you were born to be.   Whether you've battled porn for years or feel stuck in the shame cycle, this conversation will give you clarity, hope, and a roadmap for lasting transformation.    

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   You don't get free from porn by white-knuckling it. You don't get free by deleting apps, blocking websites, or just trying harder. Those things might stop the behavior for a little while, but if you don't dig up the root, the weed will always grow back.   In today's episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank is pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful assignments from our Reboot Your Life program, the same system that has helped over 1,700 men break free from porn for good.   Coach Frank is going to  walk you through 7 questions every man must answer if he's serious about freedom. These questions will help you uncover why porn became your drug of choice, what pain it's really medicating, and how to finally stop fighting symptoms and start healing the root.     Expect to Learn Why porn isn't the real problem… it's only a symptom of deeper wounds   How identity transformation leads to freedom (not behavior modification)   The 7 root-exposing questions that reveal why you keep going back to porn   How triggers, patterns, and emotions create the cycle that keeps men stuck   The hidden connection between porn and trauma, mental health, and negative self-beliefs   Why true healing begins with brutal honesty and brotherhood   The 7 Root Questions When did you first start using porn? Get clear on the circumstances, emotions, and guilt of that first exposure. What specific triggers lead you to urges? Stress, conflict, boredom… identify what you're medicating. What patterns exist in your consumption? Time of day, environments, and habits reveal where you lack discipline. How do you feel before, during, and after porn? Learn to recognize the emotional cycle that fuels the addiction. Have life events or trauma fueled your porn use? Childhood wounds, rejection, divorce; the addiction didn't appear in a vacuum. Are underlying mental health struggles connected? Anxiety, depression, PTSD,  porn becomes your “medicine” when these go unhealed. What negative beliefs or self-perceptions feed your addiction? Lies like “I'm unworthy of love” or “I'll always fail” reinforce the cycle.   Final Takeaway Freedom starts when you stop fighting the leaves and start digging up the roots. Journal through these 7 questions honestly this week. Then, when you're ready to take action and build real momentum, join our FREE 7 Day Porn Reset and spend a week inside The Brotherhood.

In the second half of this conversation, Aaron McHugh dives deeper into how to become the dad you want to be with practical, bite-sized steps. Aaron also shares his poem “Tent-Bound,” a beautiful reflection on navigating uncertainty and embracing new horizons.   Key Takeaways   Take the first step toward becoming the type of person you want to be.  Would things have been different if someone had told you what your life would hold?  It's normal to feel that the end is out of sight—and not like it.  Engage in the here and now, even though it's a hard place to be.   Aaron McHugh   Aaron McHugh is a writer, podcaster, adventurer, author, and global leadership coach. He hosts the fast-growing podcast “Work Life Play,” leads Reboot Your Life experiential weekends, and has been married to his wife, Leith, for over 26 years.    Key Quotes   Tent-Bound No one told me it would come to this— Tent-bound with a full life of songs and heartbreak. Just outside the zipper door, thunder's convincing accusation: Am I beyond the reach of love? I've been lost for a while, tiptoeing in someone else's boots. The trail undefined, the end remaining out of sight, knowing only from here to there. Cresting midlife's great divide, an inventory I take. The path that led to here— a dress rehearsal, a preamble— only now am I equipped for the liminal edges of this frontier. Adjusting my bearing, dressed in alpenglow, the new horizon awaits my arrival, calling down sweet reverence to be the lamp unto my feet. When will I know the weight of my glory?   Links from Today's Conversation   Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Aaron McHugh's Website Work Life Play Podcast Tent-Bound: A Poem About Midlife and New Horizons by Aaron McHugh Fire Your Boss: Discover Work You Love Without Quitting Your Job by Aaron McHugh   Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

Fatherhood isn't about choosing between quantity and quality time with your kids. For Aaron McHugh, it's about being present in your child's life for the long haul. Through personal stories and thoughtful reflection, Aaron shows how rest, curiosity, and allowing God to shape you can create the meaningful life experiences you want as a man and father.   Key Takeaways   Prioritizing curiosity, wonder, and exploration in your daily life can transform your overall experience. Kids care more about a long follow-through than any short-term bursts of heroism.  On a scale of 1-10, most of life's moments fall between a 5 and a 6.2, but you can be intentional to create more 10s.  If your life experience isn't what you want, you have to allow God to renovate you from the inside out.   Aaron McHugh   Aaron McHugh is a writer, podcaster, adventurer, author, and global leadership coach. He hosts the fast-growing podcast “Work Life Play,” leads Reboot Your Life experiential weekends, and has been married to his wife, Leith, for over 26 years.    Key Quotes   20:50 - "Those investments, the kindness or the choices or Friday mornings getting pancakes together, when he was in a carseat, dropping him off in grade school. So that's really encouraging. So I would offer that as encouragement to you Dad's in the middle of it now, in the thick of it now, is it really does matter and it really does somehow, someway does find a home in them. And to me, it's kind of like the Book of Proverbs. It's in, in real time that wisdom and insight and love does indeed matter. " 26:59 - "Becoming a person who values connection over accomplishment. Now, I still wrestle with all these things. They're just kind of hard wired in my, the way I learn to make life work from the beginning. At the same time, I believe all of us are a work in progress and under renovation and there's a lot of hope to have around that. Summer is where I would start, is start less on the externals and start more on the internals."   Links from Today's Conversation   Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Aaron McHugh's Website Work Life Play Podcast Tent-Bound: A Poem About Midlife and New Horizons by Aaron McHugh Fire Your Boss: Discover Work You Love Without Quitting Your Job by Aaron McHugh   Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

John continues his conversation with Petra Velzeboer. The two share their valuable perspectives on education, the changing job market, mental health, and the impact of digital technology on our well-being.  Petra also shares her journey of writing her first book, Begin with You, and her upcoming book, Digital Wellbeing: Recharge Your Focus and Reboot Your Life, which explores the impact of technology on our mental health and relationships.

It's about the health of our mind. It's not mental illness; that's just a part of it.” “When we say mental health, we think crisis. But actually, it's about, ‘How do we perform at our best? How do we sustain success? How do we live our best lives?'” “Empathy and authenticity open the space for others to be open with you.” “Coaching, like any other relationship, is a two-way street. There has to be, ‘I think you're a good fit,' and you have to think, ‘I'm a good fit.' It has to go both ways. And if it doesn't, it isn't going to work.” “Selling is serving. Because if you're truly serving people, they never feel sold to. Ever.” “You'll learn through the movement forward, not through the strategizing. The opposite of a perfectionist is someone who moves forward, and as you're moving, your creative juices will flow.” “Growth is in my bones. It's in my blood. It's the only thing I know, and sometimes to my detriment, because sometimes people are like, let's just take a breath and appreciate where we are.” BOOKS MENTIONED: The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan (https://a.co/d/fDXv3tF) Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski (https://a.co/d/6CbEe47) Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home by Toko-Pa Turner (https://a.co/d/fE04Odh) The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact by Chip Heath and Dan Heath (https://a.co/d/isiP1Yg) PODCASTS MENTIONED: The Diary Of A CEO Podcast (https://tinyurl.com/DiaryOfACEOPodcast) The Rich Roll podcast (https://tinyurl.com/TheRichRollPodcast) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.petravelzeboer.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/petra-velzeboer/ https://www.instagram.com/petra.velzeboer/ https://www.youtube.com/@petra.velzeboer “Begin with You: Invest in Your Mental Well-Being and Satisfaction at Work” (https://a.co/d/dbI2Nu8) “Digital Wellbeing: Recharge Your Focus and Reboot Your Life” (https://a.co/d/1EZarkm) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen  Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA  EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/
