Episode #1054

A lot of men feel like they're doing everything they're supposed to do, working hard, showing up for their families, keeping it together, but still feel empty, burnt out, or disconnected. In this episode, Doug sits down with master coaches Neil and Mark to talk about why so many high-performing men hit a wall and what finally gets them moving again.

You'll hear honest stories from men who've spent years in therapy without results, the surprising stats around male loneliness, and why doing more isn't the answer. This isn't a motivational pep talk. It's a grounded, straight-up look at how to reconnect with your power, your purpose, and your people, starting right where you are.

We also talk about what most men get wrong about asking for help, the slow death of becoming the nice guy, and how to stop pushing everyone away without even realizing it. If you've ever felt like you're carrying the load alone or just running on fumes, this conversation is for you.

Episode #1052

In this revisit episode, Doug sits down with TPM advisor Christopher Hansen to talk about something every married man needs to understand but few are ever taught. What it really means to lead in your marriage.

They dig into what happens when a man steps back from leadership and how that slowly chips away at trust, safety, and intimacy over time. You'll hear why emotional safety matters more than you think, why your wife might be spending more as a signal and not the problem, and how to stop trying to fix things by doing more of what already isn't working.

Chris also shares what he's learned from thousands of conversations with men who reach out for support. Most guys wait too long, try to figure it out alone, and don't realize their wife has already started checking out.

You'll also hear why "being a nice guy" doesn't always help, and how most men unknowingly give away their power by trying to avoid conflict. If you're tired of walking on eggshells or unsure how to take back control without becoming aggressive or passive, this conversation will give you the clarity and direction you've been missing.

If your marriage feels stuck or strained, this episode will help you see a clear path forward. No pressure, no fluff. Just practical insight and real examples of how small shifts in how you show up can change everything.
