In the finale of The Great Man Within podcast, I give you my most vulnerable gift:
An intense 85-minute audio recording of me and my coach (David Waldas) during one of the most raw and exposed moments of my life:
Friday, December 23rd, 2022 (just 3 days before this episode aired).
I open up about a terrifying panic attack, fear of death, feelings of despair about my health situation and a humbling admission of how far I feel right now from the “greatness” I’ve set out to achieve.
You’re getting the 100% unfiltered and unprecedented fly-on-the-wall access to the deepest parts of me…
…because this recording was never meant to be shared publicly (David records all of our coaching sessions).
But something tells me this look into my life, will make a meaningful difference in at least one of yours.
It’s my most special, vulnerable, and final gift to you…
…as we bring to an end, The Great Man Within Podcast.

-----------------------------------------------
In this Episode:
The Problem: We almost never end things soon enough.
We let shit get really bad (the unsatisfying relationship that devolves into spite and hatred, the business that’s hemorrhaging money, the deteriorating physical health that leads to a heart attack, the anxious workaholism that turns into insomnia and a panic attack, the bad habit that turns into a rock bottom addiction).
Or even worse, we normalize the problem, acclimate to it, and live it with for extended durations…and sometimes a lifetime.
This is DRIFT.
The consequences:
#1. How to Know When It’s Over
Mack Truck Moments: Very expensive wake up calls
Discontent: A chronic sense of underlying dissatisfaction
Hopelessness: An unconscious acceptance that “this is how it is”Key Question: Is this a plateau, or is this complete?
#2. How to End with Integrity
Emotional Fluency: tuning into your inner navigation system
Status Quo: Over the long term = low grade poison for a fulfilling life
Pain of Change Equation: When Perceived pain of change > pain of same, nothing will changeHow you finish things says a lot about you
#3. Making Space for New Beginnings
Run through the finish line“Every new beginning came from some other beginning’s end.”

Your Bold Move is a courageous and decisive act in pursuit of the life you want to live.
“Pursuit” is a key word in that sentence.
Neuroscience shows that the #1 contributor of pursuit is the molecule of dopamine.
If you understand dopamine, you understand the formula for motivation and feelings of reward and success.
This episode also contains a distillation of the teachings of two of the contemporary authorities on dopamine:

Madelyn Moon’s Book: Artist of Love
Madelyn’s First Episode on The Great Man Within Podcast: 5 Ways Men Lose Credibility with Women
Follow Madelyn on Instagram: @MadelynMoon
Art is the practice of taking the mundane happenings of life and turning it into theater.
Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm are two great examples of this – two shows famously about nothing (the trivialities of life), yet turned into art that makes us laugh and relate.
In long term relationships, there are no shortage of mundane moments…infuriating moments…and all the other moments in between that can be dismissed as forgettable or necessary evils you have to endure.
Our guest today, Madelyn Moon, encourages us to take these relationship moments and make art out of them – just like Larry David would – to bring more life, play and heat into your relationship.
Fellas, this might be a good episode to invite your ladies to listen along with you.
Who is Madelyn Moon?
Madelyn is a guide for women seeking to discover, claim and own all of her inherently wild and artistic sides so that she can express her true self in all areas of life, especially her love life Madelyn is the author of Artist of Love, The Modern Woman’s Guidebook to Unleashing Her Creativity, Deepening Her Relationships and Becoming the Leading Actor in Her Own Life Madelyn has been on the show before with one of our most popular episodes of all time, 5 Ways Men Lose Credibility with WomenIn this Episode:
What it means to “create art” out of the mundane and frustrating moments in relationships How a man who knows how to create art out of these moments becomes a more trustworthy man How an artful physical touch can calm your woman’s nervous system in a heated moment How lack of defining a shared purpose for your relationship…leads to a relationship who’s default purpose is merely “staying together” 4 ways to create art in your relationship -

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER (borrowed from Tim Ferriss, linked here):
The plants and compounds mentioned in this [podcast] are illegal in many countries, and even possession can carry severe criminal penalties. None of this [podcast] constitutes medical advice or should be construed as a recommendation to use psychedelics. There are serious legal, psychological, and physical risks. Psychedelics are not for everyone—they can exacerbate certain emotional problems, and there have been, in very rare cases, fatalities.
7 years ago, when I was first starting to get curious about psychedelics like Ayahuasca, mushrooms, MDMA and LSD…these medicines were very much underground and difficult to access unless you knew someone who knew someone who was in the underground world.
I didn’t even know anyone personally who’d done any psychedelics to talk to about their experiences.
It was also difficult to get access to legitimate resources to educate yourself on the dos, donts and dangers of psychedelic use so you could even determine whether it was right for you.
These days, psychedelics have become part of mainstream conversation. Tim Ferriss has become a prominent champion of responsible psychedelic use. Michael Pollan wrote a category breaking book called How to Change Your Mind, which is now a Netflix documentary series. And speaking of documentaries, there’s been an explosion of those both on the major streaming platforms as well as on YouTube.
Now it seems like everyone is microdosing something these days.
So I thought it would be high time to have a conversation about why psychedelics have played such an important role in my personal growth.
Bryan is sitting out this conversation today, and I’ve brought back my man, Keith Bracci, a semi-regular on this show and a brother I’ve journeyed with a number of times.
The 3 most important considerations for taking a safe, responsible psychedelic journey Considerations you should make to determine if they are right for you. How 15 minutes of a profound psychedelic experience can impact the next 50 years of your life How psychadelics can shatter your ego in extremely scary, painful, and eventually empowering ways How a single medicine journey can heal decades of trauma How responsible journeying can bring back a sense of wonder, awe and childhood delight of the world around you into your life

Re-Origin Website: https://re-origin.com
Re-Origin on Instagram: @reorigin_officialThe Stoic philosopher Epictetus said:
“No man is free who is not master of himself.”
No man can master himself, without mastery of his own brain and mind.
So I have a question for you:
What tools and practices are you intentionally employing on a consistent basis to develop mastery of your mind?To help you answer that question, we’re going to be diving deep into one specific superpower of the brain: neuroplasticity:
The brain’s ability to change, reorganize and grow over time.
For that growth and change to happen on your own terms, you have to play an integral role.
And to help teach you how to play that role masterfully, we have Ben Ahrens, co-founder of Re-Origin, an online brain training program to help people reclaim their health by rewiring their brain.
In fact, Re-Origin is the program that I’ve been using to rewire my brain as I’m healing from Lyme Disease…a chronic illness that Ben knows even more intimately than I…as he spent 3 years bedridden with Lyme Disease…his body in a constant state of hypervigilant fight or flight response…
…and the only way he could make his way back to full health, was to reclaim authority over a brain that had been hijacked by fear.
In this episode:
How to train the brain to take “threats” and instead experience them as “challenges” How neuroplasticity training is different from meditation The neurobiology of flow state – peak performance How to sustain motivation without the burnout Exercises you can do to develop mastery over your brain -

One thing I’ve learned as I’ve played bigger games in my life:
Is that the failures get bigger.
I think that would only make sense, right?
But as I continue to fail, I’ve also learned to fear failure less.
Which means, I go after 100% of what I want more and more often…and the victories get bigger.Now in our masterminds, I see men at earlier stages of their inner work journey, where fear of failure is still a major inhibitor for going after 100% of what they want in their life.
One of the most common themes among men who join our masterminds is this experience of feeling life is good…but not great. They have this deeper sense of knowing that they’re standing on the sidelines of the real games they want to be playing, but are too afraid of the consequences of failing in their pursuit.
So in this episode, Bryan and I are going to take a deeper dive into the fear forces that keep you stuck and paralyzed from going after 100% of what you want.
In this episode:
Bryan and I are going to share 4 of our Greatest Life lessons from failing big What the Stoics, Napoleon Hill and of course Walter White have to say about failure Why an ego shattered by failure is a beautifully liberating moment Why having a brotherhood allows you to fail bigger (and ultimately, win bigger)
The 4 Life Lessons#1. Failure gives you the experience that you can get back up.
#2. Failure will either strengthen or shatter your ego.
#3. Failing hurts a lot less when you’re in integrity
#4. Brotherhood allows you to fail bigger.

I see so many men working on themselves, trying so hard to get that thing they want out of life – finding their purpose, starting their own business, learning to love their body, finding romantic love – and routinely falling short of getting what they desire.
It's rarely due to a lack of trying.
It's certainly not due to a lack of thinking.
It's due to lack of awareness of the wounds they’ve endured much earlier in life that caused a shut down of essential parts of their inner world.
Think of it as trying to drive cross country when every major freeway and interstate is barricaded. Its really hard to get where you’re trying to go.
In this episode, we’re going to be exploring 3 common masculine wounds that serve as the barricades to you getting where you want to go.
And by exploring them, and ultimately removing them, you’ll be in the fast lane to your destination.
The 3 Common Masculine Wounds:
Your emotions weren’t welcome Your differences weren’t accepted You were taught to abandon your inner compass -

Brother let’s get real for a minute:
We’ve all got a little victim mentality in us.We’ve all got at least one area of life where we struggle, and not getting the results we want.
Maybe you see others making more money than you.
Maybe you see others more successful in love and romance.
Maybe you see other guys have the body that you wish you had.When we’re not getting what we want, its tempting to indulge in the idea the game is rigged against us…and that’s why we’re not winning.
Now that’s not to say you don’t have it harder than others in certain aspects of your life.
We’re all born into different circumstances where things like money, race, physical appearance, sexual orientation and whether you grew up in a loving or broken home create uneven playing fields.
And then we have different life experiences where we collect a lot of evidence as to whether the wind is at your sails, or if you’re running with a parachute attached to your back.
So yes, we are all starting from different places, but we don’t have to stay stuck there.
As Viktor Frankl says:
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
In other words, you have the choice to remain a victim to your circumstances – or to adopt the mindset of a victor.
In this Episode:
Why being a victim feels good sometimes Why you shouldn’t pay attention to the evidence Why motivation isn’t enough to change…and why self-efficacy is your golden ticket What Episodic Future Thinking is…and why 5,000 peer reviewed studies show it’s the #1 practice to develop a sense of self efficacy A 3 step process from shifting from Victim to Victor mindset -
