Episode #1012

In this episode, Doug and Coach Neil break down what it really means to “eat your own cooking”—doing the work you expect others to do. It’s not about having all the answers or reading the next book. It’s about actually getting in the arena and being willing to trip, fall, and course correct.

If you’re tired of analyzing your life but still feeling stuck, this conversation is for you. Doug and Neil get honest about the fears that hold men back—especially husbands, fathers, and business leaders—and they lay out a no-fluff path to real progress. Whether it’s your marriage, your health, or your mindset, they challenge you to stop waiting and start moving. Vision, accountability, action. That’s the path.

You don’t need more motivation. You need to take the first step.

Episode #1011

Doug and Coach Neil get into a real, grounded conversation about what it looks like to lead at home when things are shifting—whether it’s your kid pulling away for the first time or your marriage feeling a little off. They talk through the quiet stuff most men don’t say out loud: feeling alone, second-guessing yourself, and wondering if you're really showing up the way you want to.

This isn’t about fixing your wife or your kid. It’s about you. Are you actually leading, or are you hoping things sort themselves out? Doug shares a moment that stopped him in his tracks, and Neil opens up about what his son—and his ex—are still teaching him about how to show up as a man with purpose and presence.

If you’ve been coasting or caught in blame, this episode’s a chance to reset. You don’t need to be perfect. But you do need to be honest. That’s where change actually starts.

Episode #1010

Most guys don’t realize they’re wearing a mask. Maybe it’s the “successful one,” the “nice guy,” or the “always-in-control” version of you. These masks usually start out as protection—but eventually, they just make life heavier, less real, and more exhausting.

In this episode, Tim, Grant, Arthur, and Jared get honest about the masks they've worn, how those masks formed, and what it takes to actually let go of them. If you've ever caught yourself saying “Why did I just react like that?” or “Why does this keep happening to me?”—there’s probably a deeper layer at play.

This isn't about perfection. It’s about awareness, small steps, and being surrounded by people who will tell you the truth—especially when you’re slipping back into old patterns.

🎙️ You’ll walk away with practical ways to recognize when you're showing up as someone you're not—and what to do about it.

👉 If you're realizing you've been showing up with a mask—and it’s costing you connection, trust, or respect in your relationship—it's time to make a shift.
