From being in the airforce, to a watch company executive, to spiritual music band manager to transformational events producer to (now) a thriving life and relationship coach and author of the best-selling book (and one of my all-time favorite books) âChoose Her Everyday Or Leave Herâ, host of the âMen, This Wayâ podcast⊠Our guest today is Mr. Bryan Reeves.
Why so many men go into relationship with confidence and great intentions, but struggle mightily once in relationship.
How to thrive in relationship and not simply survive.
Why being vulnerable with other men can bring safety to your relationship to your partner.
Why for many men, it's "not the burden that they carry that breaks them, but the way they carry the burden" (by carrying it as a lone wolf, without the support and love of others).
Why relationship is a "team sport".
What "Masculine Check-Out Syndrome" is, why it is so common and how it can be one of the most painful things for a woman to experience.
How most men have a "little tyrant king" inside of them, hungry for more possessions, success and money. And how the feminine plays a role in suppressing the desires of the little tyrant king and orienting the man towards love.

Today weâve got a dude who is fit. Incredibly fit. But he wasnât always that way. At age 33, with a physique described as âsasquatch with a dad bodâ, battling with alcoholism and an anxiety disorder, he made a goal to qualify for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. And (spoiler alert) he did just that.
We've got Triathlete, Speaker, Author & Coach, Adam Hill on the show. This one is all about how Adam left the comfort zone, ended up adopting an empowered mindset and achieving things no one thought was possible.

Barry Magliarditi is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, philanthropist, and spiritual guide. Through his global coaching enterprise, The Game Changers, Barry has mentored thousands of business owners to scale to seven figures and beyond while creating a life of balance, freedom, and fulfillment. His podcasts, The Comeback Game and The Tradie Business School, have over two million downloads.
Barry takes us through his journey of going from a depressed young man with a drug habit and into crime... into the successful man that he is today. And how building the relationship with himself was key to that.
We get into "connecting to the heart" and wtf that really means.
We talk how the core desire of human beings is belonging. And how this core desire rears it's head in sometimes ugly ways, leading us to make decisions based on the thoughts and feelings of others (instead of our own).
Finally, we get into integrity and authenticity. How they are so intertwined yet distinctly different.

If you're in need of a little boost of motivation... You're gonna want to listen to this one,
He's a former 7 year NFL Player, he was featured on the MTV show "Made" and now travels the world training teams, building leadership and transforming corporate environments.
We not only get into his NFL career and his appearance on MTV's Made, but dig into what it means to "win". And how he thinks the traditional concept of winning where one individual comes out ahead of the other may not be an accurate depiction.
We get into how "being a man" means incorporating BOTH the primal masculine drive present in us along with a connection to our heart. That this is where the magic is.
And how "Average is the Enemy" and how we can avoid languishing in mediocrity in life.
Enjoy.

Our guest today has a fricken amazing story and an inspiring mission.
We've got Elijah Stacy, author of the book âA Small Ifâ, and Founder of the nonprofit Destroy Duchenne, which he started at age 15 to advance gene editing and gene therapy to save his life, his brothers life and thousands of others around the world from DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy), a muscle wasting disease that primarily affects kids.
We talk all of the things that Elijah has learned from his journey battling this disease and spreading his story (thus far).
We talk about how his "adapters mindset" has been huge in getting him to this point. The power of being a little bit stubborn in life. And how to stay hopeful and strong, even through extreme adversity.

âTo become the person you truly are, you have to let go of you think you are supposed to be"
Doug Cartwright is a speaker, author (of the book Holy Sh!t We're Alive), and CEO and Founder of The Daily Shifts.
Doug takes us through his journey from being a twenty something, ex-morman, ex-millionaire living deeply unfulfilled who had done everything he was âsupposedâ to do. He was living a lavish life, VIP bottle service with Drake, hanging out with Kevin Durant in a suite at the Superbowl, before realizing that the only reason he was doing all of these things was to receive validation on social media, and that none of it was actually contributing to lasting happiness.
That was until he (re)found his true essence and dropped all of the masks, labels and stories.How psychedelics acted as a gateway drug into self-love for Doug.
How there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting Instagram likes, but the issue comes when you NEED the instragram likes.
How there is no right path for anyone on the healing journey, but itâs all about finding what is right for you (whether that is mediation, working with a coach/therapist, going on an ayahuasca journey etc.)
The power of an attitude of gratitude in settling you in the moment that you are in instead of having you thinking about a moment you WISH you were in
Dougâs (funny) story about an experience getting over his âfear of suckingâ on the ski hill.
Thanks for slowing down with us.

Michele (Mickey) Graglia is a former top model and is currently one of the world's top ultra runners. Since 2011, he has competed in over thirty ultramarathons all over the world, often winning and setting course records.
He has set Guinness World Records for his runs across the Atacama and Gobi deserts. His wins in the Yukon Arctic Ultra, with temperatures below -40ÂșF, and the Badwater 135 in Death Valley, with highs above 130ÂșF, made him the first person in history to win both the hottest and coldest foot races on Earth.
Michele gets into how dropping out of the mind and into the body/heart (through mindfulness) has been the key for his success in ultra running, regardless of the environment he is competing in.
The power of continual exploration of ourselves, our potential and seeking out the uncomfortable. All in an effort of living fully. Which all starts with simply opening the mind to what is possible.
Michele takes us through his (wild) journey of being a top model, living a lavish lifestyle in Miami, but not feeling fulfilled. To later finding ultra running (his true calling) and building an incredibly successful athletic career.
So f**^&* good.

We're back!!! And with a bang.
We've got former NHL gladiator, Dave Scatchard on the show.
He had a fourteen-year career as a hockey player in the NHL, 659 career NHL games, with the Nucks, Islanders, Bruins, Coyotes, Predators and Blues. That was until a fifth concussion left him with slurred speech, headaches, and traumatic brain injuries... So he embarked on a journey around the world to restore his health and reinvent his life. And that he did.Recently, heâs traveled the world and spoken alongside Tony Robbins as a Platinum Career Coach.
Author of the book âThe Comeback: My Journey through Heaven and Hellâ which dropped on Sept 14.
We get into his upbringing as a "good Canadian boy" with a daredevil father. In growing up in Hinton, Alberta and Salmon Arm, BC.
Dave takes us through his traumatic 5th concussion. Where he was left facing death on the ice. And the message that he took back into the world after the experience.
We get into the power of (re) finding our childlike joy. And the freedom and weightlessness that comes along with this.
Enjoy!

NICK VELASQUEZ is a passionate learner and devoted student of mastery. Heâs the author of the popular blog UnlimitedMastery.com, where he writes about learning science, peak performance, creativity, and mastering skills. His writing has been featured in outlets such as TIME, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, and Thought Catalogue. Nick speaks multiple languages and spends his time between Tokyo and MontrĂ©al.
We go deep down the rabbit hole of learning, mastery, the meaning of life and debate whether it's better to be realistic and depressed or disconnected from reality but content.
Why experimentation is key in the process of learning.Why the most important piece of learning is âlearning how to learnâ.
Why Nick thinks that âlearning stylesâ are a myth.
Why itâs harder to learn a language as you get older.
Why when it comes to skill the saying âyou either have it or you donâtâ is not fully true (and some real world examples of this).
Why you might not be as productive working from home.
And so much more. What a fun conversation.

Really excited to share this one. We've got Somatic Experiencing PractitionerÂź, Somatic Practice, FeldenkraisÂź & Yoga Practitioner, Nicole Lohse on the show, who has dedicated her life to helping people move "out of survival and into flow". All through building awareness and becoming curious around our nervous system responses and how this shows up in the body.
We talk "go mode" (that I often find myself in), how this can actually be a survival pattern and how we can achieve in a more healthy way that is connected to our bodies.
How the end goal of this somatic/body work is not to "always be in a state of bliss" (this is bullshit). But instead, to be able to move through the experiences of life in a regulated way where we are connected with ourselves and have awareness around our nervous system responses.
Why trauma is not about what happened TO us, but is when we are still stuck trying to survive something and where we still believe there is a danger or threat.
How we can decipher whether weâre showing up from trauma versus showing up true to ourselves.
How the work is all about building awareness and getting curious about how we're showing up in the world. And from there we can get curious about what other responses exist and over time, move into a more regulated response pattern.The power of making our survival patterns our ally
How we can establish safety in situations where we feel triggered and have a nervous system response.
The power of realizing that we are already whole and striving to gain more and more access to our wholeness.
Enjoy.

He's written a book, he's filmed a documentary. All around one simple (but powerful) message. Your life matters.
Our guest today, D. John Jackson shifted gears from being a fortune 50 corporate leader, to dedicating himself to speaking to and for the underrepresented and marginalized groups in the world.
We get into how black men are categorized into three buckets growing up - "entertainers, athletes or on the wrong side of the law". And how John looks to change the narrative on this.The concept of âembracing differenceâ and how the world needs a (massive) dose of this right now.
How there are so many people out there who are âinvisibleâ. How they get to that point and the impact of taking a small step to acknowledge their humanness.
The importance in leadership of "digging into" the individuals on your team and understanding their full experience.
How (even if we donât realize it) we are showing more respect to certain individuals than others.
How we grossly underestimate the number of people we impact on a daily basis.
Enjoy.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite conversations (ever).
We've got a man who is a poet with his words (and has a great beard), Rainier Wylde on the show.
We get into the shadow. How it is the collection of those parts of ourselves that we have had to cut away or mask in order to belong. And Rainier takes us through his own journey with his shadow.How many boys in modern society do not get to experience the âhunter stageâ. Where the boy gets to learn to be pointed, purposeful, assertive. Learns that his voice matters, to be aggressive, disciplined and resolute. To be the same self in every room he walks in (AKA integrity). And how skipping this step does not allow the boy to internalize the belief that âlife is hard and I have the capacity to meet it on it's own termsâ.
How Rainier was ânot able to keep his own agreements with himself or othersâ and how this came to a boiling point when he was faced with looking his wife in the eyes and telling her that he had betrayed her. And how in doing this, and taking a stand, for the truth, at risk of losing it all (friends, family, reputation) Rainier was able to take a massive step in his own evolution.
How belonging is the fundamental condition in the human psyche. Which is why humans are willing to sacrifice authenticity in favor of a false sense of belonging. We would rather be liked and accepted for who we arenât than rejected for who we are.
How filling our "bucket of belonging" in a healthy way" begins and ends with authenticity.The practice of radical authenticity in relationship, staying up to the moment in honesty with each other and how concealing (even small things) from our partner is a dangerous practice.
The danger of âworshippingâ our partner in a relationship and creating a story around the other.
Enjoy.

Our guest today was more productive during COVID than most. She doubled down on connections with her friends and wrote a book on the s*** that adults never taught us growing up... Titled, "S*** Adults Never Taught Us". We've got Natasha Sattler on the show!
We go deep on the concept of connection. How it is a human need and we need to destigmatize feeling lonely (because it's normal). And how it is possible to be in a room full of people and still feel alone.
Seeing anxiety as a "signal light" of something we need to address in our life. And instead of addressing the surface symptom, going DEEP.
Why Natasha believes we should destigmatize the concept of addiction (because we've all got em'). And the power of bringing awareness to these things that we do habitually to emotionally regulate.
How many of us never learned to "protect our peace" growing up.
Why we don't really "fall" in love but actually "choose" love daily. And how to tell the difference between "love" and "infatuation".
By the way, I reference the book Together by Vivek H. Murthy in the pod. Here is a link to the book!

âIf you keep your s*** tucked away in the corner, it f****** stinks.â
Our guest today is someone who I would call an "Everyday Legend".
Mike Campbell is a menâs coach, author, founder of The Everyday Legends Coaching Program and host of the Everyday Legends Podcast. A dude who is helping other men break free of the ordinary and build legendary relationships â with themselves, their partners, and their world.
This one is all about s***. Identifying our s***. Owning our s***. And then allowing others to see our s***. With a goal of "feeling at home within ourselves". So that wherever life brings us, we feel at home. We feel like we have value.
Why "nice guys" abandon their values and truth in the desperate search of validation. Coming from a place of âI need other people to like me so I can like myselfâ.Why many men feel the need to suppress certain parts of themselves and instead only show a meticulously curated version of what we think we SHOULD be . And how this practice keeps us from experiencing the basic human needs of love, depth and belonging.
Why "having your s*** together" does not mean that you do not have s***. You just own it and deal with it.
What âZeuss Energyâ is and why Mike associates the word with his definition of âbeing a manâ.Thanks for slowing down with us.
