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.

Episode #1034

In this throwback episode, we’re revisiting a core conversation that’s just as relevant now as when it first aired. If you’ve ever felt like you're doing all the right things but your wife still pulls away, this one’s for you.

Doug breaks down what really happens when men fall into the trap of chasing their wife. Whether it’s constant texts, over-checking in, or trying too hard to fix the relationship, that energy often creates more distance instead of connection.

You’ll hear why chasing is a form of needy energy, how it kills polarity, and what to do instead. Doug walks through simple shifts that help men lead from a grounded place instead of needing approval. He also explains the triad of connection and why your wife’s reaction is not the measure of your success.

This revisit is a reminder that your power comes from within. When you stop chasing and start leading, everything changes.
