They walk through where it comes from, why it shows up in relationships, and most importantly, how to break free from it. You'll hear about what it means to be grounded as a man, how to stop giving your power away, and how to build confidence that isn't based on what others think of you.

Episode #1058

We're revisiting this conversation because it's one of the biggest sticking points for men in relationships. You want to lead, you want clarity, and you want a stronger connection—but when it comes to setting real agreements and holding your partner accountable, things get messy.

In this episode, Tim and the team break down how to create accountability in your relationship without turning it into a business meeting or a fight. It starts with you getting clear on what you actually want. If you're not clear, there's no way to communicate it, let alone follow through.

They share how to bring up needs in a way that invites conversation instead of conflict, how to assume the best without being walked over, and why most men skip the emotional prep that makes these conversations go smoother. You'll also hear why the energy behind the ask matters more than the words you use.

If you've ever struggled with resentment, unmet expectations, or just feeling like your partner isn't on the same page, this is a conversation worth coming back to.

Episode #1057

We're bringing this one back because it's a topic that keeps showing up. You start making progress, in your marriage, your business, your health and then out of nowhere, you slide back. It's frustrating, and it's more common than you think.

In this episode, Tim sits down with Arthur, Andrew, and Austin to dig into the real reason why that keeps happening. It's called upper limiting. Whether it shows up as self-sabotage, complacency, or just falling off the path, there's usually something deeper underneath it.

They talk through how identity, validation, nervous system wiring, and past patterns can all work against you when you're on the edge of growth. The guys also share how they've learned to spot the signs early and what you can do to stay on track instead of resetting every few months.

If it feels like you're doing the work but something still keeps pulling you back, give this one a listen.
