Get All In On Everything of You with Ali West

2022-09-12T12:29:21+00:00

  “There's a lot more than what we see and hear and taste and smell and feel. There's a lot more to life.” -Ali West   Life can change in a moment. A new job, a new relationship, the death of a loved one, or other circumstances can throw us off our game and send us reeling. When this happens, it's tempting to try and make sense of it by thinking about ourselves in terms of how we've always been defined by our past. But this is not how we want our lives to be. We want them to be shaped [...]

  “Don't do something that you can't see yourself doing for the rest of your life.” -Steve Lutsk   Finding time to exercise and get in shape is a real struggle for us, men. After all, there's always something else to do—whether it's changing diapers or making dinner, or running our business.  But here's what I know: if we're going to be healthy and fit for life, then we need to make time for ourselves. In fact, if we look closely, we have lots of opportunities to make small changes in our lives that will help us feel good about ourselves [...]

How Boys Can Transform Into Real Men with Dylan Roos

2022-09-09T02:03:25+00:00

  “We know what we're capable of, therefore, we suppress it. It's capable of so much bad and it's capable of as much good in the world. And we're robbing the world of that good by completely dismissing it.” -Dylan Roos   Boys are often taught that being a man is about being tough, taking charge, and never showing weakness. This idea is so deeply embedded in our culture that it's hard to even imagine that it could be wrong.  But this view of masculinity can be extremely damaging to boys who are being raised by parents who believe that "tough" [...]

The Effective Way to Master Your Anger and Stress with Joseph Warren

2022-09-08T05:49:12+00:00

  “You are only responsible for your action or inaction. That’s half the equation. What’s the other half? All outcomes… belong to God.” -Joseph Warren   Anger and stress can be a massive drain on our personal lives and careers. They not only take a toll on mental health, but they can also impact our relationships— with other people and most importantly, with ourselves. Feelings of anger or frustration cause us to lash out at others unwittingly.  Moreover, male anger is often mislabeled as aggression or hostility. This makes it difficult for us, as men, to express our emotions or ask [...]

Lose Weight and Never Find It Again! with Jonathan McLernon

2022-09-08T05:43:23+00:00

  “Compassion is a place of understanding without judgment. And in compassion, we can create change.” -Jonathan McLernon   When it comes to weight loss, self-love, and holistic health, the connection between the three is more apparent than ever. Popular culture has made it clear that the first two are synonymous with the third, but the truth is much more complicated than that.  Many people follow diet trends and weight loss tips without taking the time to understand deeper why they do them in the first place. Their goal is to follow a standard taught to them by society. But that [...]

The 3 R’s of Healing from Loss, Trauma, or Major Life Transition with Phil Cohen

2022-09-08T05:35:20+00:00

  “Asking ‘why?’ is a valid question for a period, but it's not a place you want to live. You have to make a conscious decision not to live in that place.” -Phil Cohen   All of us have experienced loss- whether it's a person, a job, a relationship, or a property. And we know so well that there's no way to describe the intensity of the pain we have to go through. During the grieving process, we see everything in black and the question of 'why?' only made it worse. We seek answers to make sense of what happened, but [...]

Helpers Need Help with Scott DeLuzio

2022-09-08T05:26:27+00:00

  “You need some help yourself and it's hard to switch to that mindset. But if you don't do that, you can't possibly be the type of person who's going to give your 100% effort to help other people.” -Scott DeLuzio   Asking for help doesn't make us weak. It makes us strong! There's a lot to be said for how men can build each other up. But sometimes, some of us men just don't know how to ask for help. It's not that we're trying to be rude or ungrateful—it's just that we've been taught from a young age that [...]

2022-09-08T05:23:58+00:00

  “It's our values that drive our decisions for our priorities.” -Tyler Foley   We're often talking about our priorities in life, but what about the things we value?—the things that make us happy, the things that make us feel fulfilled, and the things that bring us joy. How can we be sure we're making the right choices for ourselves? The key is on how we set and solidify our values. The more we value something, the more likely it will be a priority for us, and the better we’re going to handle it.  In this episode, I was honored to [...]
