Episode #1038

Most men say they’re being real, but deep down, they know something’s off. In this episode, Doug sits down with Eric “The Viking” at the TPM Ranch to talk about what actually changes when you stop hiding, drop the mask, and start showing up as your true self.

Eric opens up about the shift that happened when he finally got honest with himself and others. It didn’t come from a big breakthrough or a single moment. It came from consistent, small actions. Real change showed up in how he led his team, how he connected with his wife, and how he carried himself as a man.

They also dig into why so many guys stay stuck being the “nice guy,” how fear of judgment keeps you silent, and what it looks like to build a life that actually reflects your values.

If you’re feeling like something’s missing but can’t put your finger on it, this one’s worth a listen. It’s honest, grounded, and packed with stuff you can actually use.

Episode #1037

We’re revisiting an important conversation that continues to hit home for so many men. What happens when the marriage is technically over, but you sense there’s still a chance to reconnect?

In this episode, Doug answers a listener’s question about when and how to approach reconciliation after separation or divorce. He breaks down why chasing your ex or falling back into old habits pushes her further away, and what it looks like to show up with real confidence instead of neediness.

You’ll hear practical strategies for getting grounded, filling your own cup, avoiding the “deer” response, and practicing engaged indifference so you can create attraction again rather than giving your ex all the power. This isn’t about replaying the past it’s about becoming the man you know you can be and approaching the relationship in a healthier way.

If you’ve ever wondered whether dating your ex is possible, this revisit will give you perspective and tools you can use right now.

Episode #1036

Are you truly living, or just getting through the day?

In this episode, Doug and Coach Steve have an honest conversation about purpose, aging, marriage, and the kind of legacy most men never stop to think about. Not legacy in the financial sense, but how you show up as a man, how you lead at home, and what you're quietly passing on to your kids.

They share stories of mentors, tough transitions, and the moments that force you to ask, "Is this really the life I want to be living?" From broken trust to burnout, to feeling stuck in the same daily routine, this is a conversation about what it really looks like to turn things around.

You’ll hear what happens when men stop waiting and start making bold, uncomfortable moves toward growth. And why living with intention today might be the most important gift you leave behind.

If you've been playing it safe or telling yourself it’s not that bad, this episode might be the wake-up call you need.
