Episode #1085

This episode is a powerful revisit to one of the most important conversations for any man feeling stuck in his relationship or his personal growth. Doug and Chris break down a common trap: spending your time and money on everything but the things that really move the needle your relationships, your mindset, and your growth as a man.

They get honest about how easy it is to drop cash on toys, tech, and distractions... while putting off the real work that could actually improve your marriage, deepen your connection with your kids, or help you become a man you're proud of. If you've ever said, "I don't have the time" or "I can't afford it" this one will challenge you to take a hard look at what you're prioritizing.

They also dive into why surrounding yourself with men who push you to grow matters more than you think, and how to use your future self as a guide for the choices you make now.

This is the kind of episode you'll want to listen to more than once because the questions they ask here can shift everything.

Episode #1084

Ever feel like you've lost your edge at home or like you're walking on eggshells, waiting for your wife to tell you you're doing it right? In this episode, Doug and Chris dig into one of the most common (but rarely talked about) patterns they see in men: the quiet, often unconscious habit of giving up power in relationships.

They unpack how this shows up in everyday life from needing permission to make decisions, to becoming another "child" in the household dynamic. Doug shares how even well-meaning guys slip into people-pleasing, indecision, and needing external validation from their partner, all while slowly eroding their leadership.

You'll learn why being decisive (even if you're wrong) beats being passive, how routines can help you rebuild internal trust, and what it really takes to stop outsourcing your self-worth. This episode is a wake-up call for any man who's lost touch with his power and a practical guide to getting it back.

Episode #1083

In this episode, Doug sits down with Andrew to unpack one of the biggest challenges men face in long-term relationships: staying consistent not just for a few weeks, but for the long haul.

They get real about why short-term effort isn't enough, why so many guys slip when things start improving, and how old patterns (especially the ones from childhood) keep showing up in marriage. Doug shares a powerful story about a man trying to turn things around after years of being emotionally checked out and why "two and a half weeks of trying" doesn't undo a decade of disconnect.

If you've ever felt frustrated because you're doing the work and not seeing results, this is for you.
If you're showing up with expectations and getting burned, this is for you.
And if you're ready to shift from surface-level fixes to real identity change this conversation cuts straight to it.

You'll walk away with practical tools and insights to help you stop the pattern, drop the scorekeeping, and show up in a way that actually builds trust not just today, but consistently.
