Episode #998
What if that argument about the dishes isnât really about the dishes?
Most guys fall into the same trap during conflictâwe react. We defend ourselves, make excuses, try to explain things, or just shut down completely. Iâve been there, and I used to think being ârightâ would solve everything. It didnât. It just made the fights last longer and left us both feeling more disconnected.
In this episode, Iâm bringing back a short but powerful conversation that can shift everything. I walk you through how I stopped blowing up arguments in my marriage and started turning those heated moments into connection.
We dive into a simple technique I used when things were at their worstâcounting to 10. Sounds basic, right? But that pause gave me just enough space to stop reacting and start listening. From there, I used what we call the Hidden Motives Technique to figure out what my wife was really trying to say underneath the complaints.
In this revisit, Iâll show you how to shift the dynamic, so you're not just avoiding a blowupâyouâre actually building more trust and intimacy. When your wife feels seen and heard, everything changesâincluding how she responds to you.
This isnât about walking on eggshells. Itâs about learning to lead better during conflict. And it works.

Episode #997
Most men wait until they hit a wall before they do anything about their health. But it doesnât have to be that way. In this episode, I sit down with Jason Kidman â a tech guy turned health optimization coach â to talk about how he went from burnout and chronic pain to feeling better at 44 than he did at 29.
We cover practical stuff: peptides, hormone health, biohacking (yes, without the hype), and how the system most of us rely on â doctors, meds, insurance â often fails to get us feeling better.
If youâre a guy in your late 30s or 40s thinking, âThis is just what aging feels like,â this oneâs for you. Jason breaks down whatâs actually possible when you stop accepting brain fog, low energy, and poor sleep as your new normal.
We also talk about what to do first if youâre just starting out â and how small shifts can help you lead from the front as a husband, father, and business owner.
No fluff. No quick fixes. Just real talk and actionable takeaways to get your health back on track.

Episode #995
In this Revisit episode, Doug and Brad Holt unpack a tough but necessary topic: what really happens when men keep secrets in their relationships. Whether it's hiding money, covering up past mistakes, or just not being honest about getting help, these liesâbig or smallâstart to build walls.
The conversation is real and direct. They share stories from the men theyâve coached and talk through what it actually looks like to come clean. The hard part isnât just the confessionâitâs facing the fear of what comes next. But if youâve been carrying something around and itâs starting to feel heavy, this episode might help you see another way forward.
This oneâs not about shaming anyone. Itâs about getting honest, stepping into leadership, and choosing connection over control. If something in your gut says itâs time to stop hiding, this is the episode to listen to.

Episode #994
Are you coasting through life, thinking things are âfineââbut wondering deep down if thereâs more?
Youâre not alone.
A lot of men come into our programs thinking theyâve already done the work. Marriage is solid. Business is moving. Life looks good on paper. But something still feels... off. Thatâs the power of choosing growth when everything seems okayâbefore itâs not.
In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of the latest Rising eventâa next-level experience built for men whoâve already done the foundational work and are now asking, Whatâs next?
Youâll hear how breakthroughs happened not because of a crisis, but because the guys leaned into the discomfort of growthâeven when things were already going well. From coaches stepping up with no ego, to micro-adjustments that unlocked massive shifts, this conversation reveals whatâs really possible when you stop settling for âgood enough.â
We talk about how real transformation comes from precision, presence, and the courage to go deeperânot just wider. And why waiting until things fall apart is the slowest path to where you really want to go.
If youâve ever thought, âIâm doing fine, I donât need that right now,â this episode might just change your mind.
If youâre coasting in your marriage thinking âitâs fine,â thatâs exactly when you need to act.

Episode #993
Ever feel like youâve checked all the boxesâcareer, family, successâbut something still doesnât feel right?
Youâre not alone. And more importantly, you're not broken.
In this episode, Tim Matthews is joined by Gregory âDynamiteâ and Derek âThe Redwoodâ for a down-to-earth conversation about what it really means to feel lost as a man. They get honest about the times in their lives when they realized they were completely off trackâand what it took to admit it, face it, and find their way forward.
This isn't about having a breakdown. It's about having a breakthrough.
They share what it feels like to build a life that looks great on the outside, but doesnât feel right on the inside. The pressure to have the answers. The temptation to sedate with work, alcohol, or just staying busy. The fear of admitting youâre not sure who you are anymore.
But they also dive into the shift that happens when you stop fighting that feelingâand start listening to it.
In this episode, youâll hear how spending time in nature, reconnecting with purpose, and leaning on brotherhood helped each of them move from feeling trapped to truly alive again.
If youâve ever wondered, âHow did I get here?ââthis conversation is for you.
Sometimes being lost isnât a problem. Itâs a wake-up call. And it might be exactly what you need to finally find yourself.
Feeling lost in your marriage too?
Just like in life, the first step to fixing a relationship is admitting you're not where you want to be. This free training shows you exactly how to get clarity, connection, and that spark back.đ Watch it here

Episode #992
Are you doing everything ârightâ in your marriageâand still watching the connection fade?
In this special revisit episode, weâre bringing back one of our most downloaded conversations that hits hard for a reason. We break down the five subtle but damaging ânice guyâ habits that well-intentioned men fall intoâhabits that quietly kill attraction and connection over time.
From being indecisiveâŠ
To constantly checking in with her emotionsâŠ
To overgiving while your own tank runs dryâŠThese behaviors might feel like love, but theyâre often rooted in fear, insecurity, or hidden expectations.
In this episode, youâll hear why trying to please your wife isnât the same as leading her⊠and why true intimacy starts with getting honest about where youâve been playing small or playing safe.
This oneâs for the man whoâs tired of walking on eggshells and is ready to show up with purpose, clarity, and strengthâwithout losing his heart in the process.
If youâve ever said, âI do everything for her, and itâs still not enough,â this revisit is exactly what you need to hear.

Episode #991
What if selling your business doesnât bring the freedom you expectedâbut instead leaves you feeling lost?
It happens more than you'd think.
Too many business owners stay in the game too long, clinging to stress, burnout, or an outdated identity because theyâre unsure of whatâs next. Others rush into an exit thinking itâll solve everything, only to realize the money didnât bring clarityâor peace.
In this episode, you'll hear from Gary and Derekâtwo men whoâve navigated the emotional dynamics of exiting their businesses. One built his company from the ground up and sold it after more than 30 years. The other has gone through four exits and knows what it's like to buy in with the clear intention of getting out.
They talk openly about the warning signs they ignored, the personal toll of hanging on too long, and the surprising relief that came from admitting, âIâm done.â Youâll also hear how The Powerful Man played a crucial role in helping them step into whatâs nextâwith intention, confidence, and clarity.
In this episode, youâll get a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to leave a business well. Not just with a solid dealâbut with your marriage, your health, and your purpose intact.
If youâve been quietly wondering, âIs it time to let go?â... this conversation is your answer.

Episode #990
In this honest, no-fluff episode, Tim, Gary, and Mark open up about something most men never talk aboutâsexual abuse. They unpack how silence and shame shaped their lives, relationships, and how they saw themselves as men. But this conversation isnât about staying stuck in the past. Itâs about what happens when you finally tell the truth.
Youâll hear how opening up became the turning pointânot just for healing, but for building real connection, trust, and confidence again. If youâve ever felt like thereâs a part of your story you canât share, or if youâre carrying something heavy and silent, this one might hit home.
This is for the guy who needs to know heâs not aloneâand that there's a path forward, even if it doesnât feel like it yet.

Episode #989
Can you stay calm and confidentâeven when your wife is testing your limits?
We're bringing this one back for a reason. If you've ever found yourself defending, explaining, or reacting in frustration during conflict⊠this episode is for you. Because how you show up in those momentsâespecially when your buttons are pushedâis the difference between a marriage that grows and one that keeps falling into the same fight.
In this episode, Doug and Brad break down what it really means to practice "engaged indifference." This isn't about being cold or checked out. It's about being fully present, fully groundedâand totally unshaken by someone else's emotional storm. When you lead this way, you become the lighthouse your wife can count on, no matter how rough the waters get.
They also dig into why being reactive turns your wife into your mother (yep, it happens), how to lead with curiosity instead of control, and how to stop tying your self-worth to your wifeâs mood. Youâll hear personal stories, practical tools, and the exact mindset shift that makes deep intimacyâand real leadershipâpossible again.
Revisit this one. Because showing up as the lighthouse isnât just about avoiding drama. Itâs how you earn trust, spark connection, and lead from a place of strengthâeven when itâs hard.
Think you're showing upâbut not sure it's enough?

Episode #988
What if the reason you're burned out, disconnected, or stuck isn't because you're doing too muchâbut because you're saying yes to all the wrong things?
Most high-achieving men are secretly overwhelmed. Theyâve built successful businesses, provided for their families, and checked all the boxes⊠yet deep down, something feels off. In this episode, youâll hear how one manâs struggle to say ânoâ led to decades of hidden pain, poor decisions, and relationships that never quite fit.
In this episode, you'll hear a raw and powerful conversation between Tim Matthews, Mark Smith, and David Mason as they explore what happens when you stop hiding behind productivity and finally start honoring what you really want. They unpack how unresolved childhood trauma shows up in your âyes,â how saying no can feel dangerous when you were never taught it was safeâand how learning to say âyesâ without a âbutâ can radically shift your business, marriage, and life.
Youâll also hear how David went from working 90-hour weeks to taking 3-day weekendsâwithout losing momentum. And the surprising shift that made his business more successful while he finally felt at peace, connected, and fully alive.
If youâre ready to stop chasing validation and start leading with purpose, this is your episode.

Episode #987
What if the key to stronger connection isnât about trying harderâbut simply remembering who you are?
Fresh off The Rising, Tim Matthews sits down with Mark Smith and Chris Cameronâaka âThe Love Powerââto unpack some of the biggest personal breakthroughs that came from shutting out the noise and tuning in to what really matters.
They dive into the messy, beautiful process of self-discovery, and what happens when you finally stop running from your own patterns. Youâll hear how something as simple as saying âI love youâ can completely shift a relationshipâeven in the middle of a heated disagreement.
In this episode, they talk about how knowing yourself can expose hidden triggers, like emotional eating, and how those subtle shifts can create massive change. They reflect on why real connection often gets lost in the day-to-day grindâand how men can reclaim it by owning their truth and leading from love.
This is one of those conversations that reminds you: the work isnât about being perfectâitâs about being honest. With yourself first. Then with the people who matter most.

In this episode, Doug walks through exactly why that keeps happening and what you can do about it. Not with quick fixes or guilt trips, but with real tools that help her feel safe again. Youâll learn how to create the kind of emotional safety that allows her to finally exhaleâand how to stay grounded when the past gets brought up, again.

You'll hear personal stories and hard-won lessons about how this pattern often stems from childhood conditioning, religious or cultural expectations, and the desire to create peace and safety. And more importantly, you'll learn what to do about it.

Episode #983
Ever find yourself holding back appreciation from your wife because youâre not feeling seen yourself?
Yeah, Iâve been there too.
In this episode, Andrew and I dive deep into how something as simple as daily gratitude can completely shift your energyâand change the way you show up in your marriage, business, and life. We talk about what happens when you stop looking for whatâs missing and start appreciating whatâs already there.
This isnât some fluffy gratitude journal talk. Weâre talking about real, practical ways to use gratitudeâeven when things feel hard. Like when youâre trying to co-parent with your ex. Or when you're waking up at 2 AM with stress. Or when youâre biting your tongue in a tough conversation and trying not to blow up.
Youâll also hear a personal story Iâve never shared beforeâthe moment I snapped out of a downward spiral thanks to a random triathlon on TV and a guy running without legs. It changed everything for me.
In this episode, we unpack how to keep your gratitude practice real (not forced), how it helps you lead better conversations, and why most guys totally overlook the power of being grateful for yourself.
Because the truth is, you canât lead your family or your business if youâre constantly running on fumes and resentment. Gratitude flips that.
Whether your marriage is struggling or you just want to reconnect with your purpose as a manâthis is where you start.

Episode #982
What happens when you do everything ârightâ in your marriage⊠and it still falls apart?
In this episode, Andrew opens up about the painful unraveling of his relationship and how it forced him to face the one person heâd been avoidingâhimself. Like a lot of men, he came into the work hoping to fix his marriage. What he ended up doing was far more powerful: he found himself.
This isnât just a story of divorce. Itâs a story of identity, ownership, and the kind of growth most men never allow themselves to experience. Andrew talks openly about the moment he realized his marriage couldnât be savedâand how that loss became the catalyst for becoming a better man, father, and leader.
In this episode, youâll hear how suppressing emotions kept him stuck, how real transformation came when he stopped blaming and started owning his part, and how doing âthe workâ gave him clarityânot just in relationships, but in who he is as a man.
Andrew doesnât just share his winsâhe shares his breaking point, the uncomfortable truths, and the exact shifts that helped him go from reactive to grounded. Youâll also hear why women are so drawn to men who do this work, and how showing up with no agenda is the real game changer in love and leadership.
If youâve ever felt lost in your role as a husband, father, or businessmanâor like youâre succeeding everywhere except at homeâthis conversation will hit home.

Episode #981
Ever found yourself wondering, âShouldnât I be further along by now?â
Youâve done the work. Youâve read the books. Maybe youâve even joined a few programs. And yet... thereâs still something missing.In this episode, I sit down with Arthur Magrunitiâone of our lead coaches and a guy whoâs not just talked about growth, but actually lived it. We have a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to keep growing year after yearâwithout burning out or chasing the next shiny thing.
We talk about how most men only think they know what they wantâand how the real breakthroughs happen when you realize what you actually need. Whether youâre dealing with struggles in your marriage, stuck in your business, or just feeling disconnected from who you really are, thereâs something in here for you.
Youâll also hear why so many guys whoâve already âdone the workâ keep coming back, and what separates the ones who just consume information from the ones who actually transform.
This isnât about perfection or chasing some big life overhaul. Itâs about getting honest with yourself, taking the next right step, and finding out whatâs truly possible when you stop trying to figure it all out alone.

Episode #980
What do you do when your wife says the words you never thought youâd hearââI donât want to be married anymoreâ?
If you're hearing that now, chances are she's been thinking it for years. This isnât sudden for her. Itâs a breaking point.
In this REVISIT episode, weâre going back to one of the most crucial conversations a married man can haveâhow to respond when your wife emotionally checks out, or worse, tells you sheâs done. This is a moment where most men panic, try to fix things fast, or shut down completely.
But thereâs another way.
Youâll learn why women often plan their exit quietly over months or even years, and how your default reactionsâdefensiveness, excuses, or shutting downâonly push her further away. Weâll talk through what creates emotional safety, how to respond calmly without losing your ground, and why your self-care might be the key to getting her back.
This isnât about manipulating her. Itâs about becoming the man who can truly hold space, hear her pain, and give the relationship a fighting chance.

Episode #979
At some point, almost every married man asks himself the same question: Did I marry the wrong woman?
Maybe she doesnât laugh at your jokes anymore. Sheâs not interested in your stories. She seems distant, disconnectedâand truth be told, youâre starting to wonder if life would be easier with someone else.
In this REVISIT episode, weâre bringing back a powerful and timely conversation for any man who feels stuck in a marriage thatâs lost its spark.
The truth is, most guys were never taught how to actually make marriage work. We werenât handed the tools to handle resentment, missed expectations, or emotional distance. So when things start to fall apart, we assume we chose the wrong partnerâwhen in reality, we might just be missing the right approach.
This episode breaks down why those thoughts of doubt creep in, how resentment quietly builds, and what you can do to clean the slate and reconnect. Weâll cover the Triad of Connectionâa framework to rebuild emotional safety, get real connection back, and spark the passion you thought was gone for good.
You might not need a new wife. You might just need a new strategy.
Still wondering if sheâs the wrong womanâor if something deeperâs going on?
