I used to think that the keys to great health were eating right, exercising often, and getting enough sleep. While these are good for your health, they pale in comparison to the quality of your relationships. 

In fact, a Harvard study proved that your relationships are the #1 most important factor for your overall health and wellbeing. 

But many guys, myself included, can be terrible at their most important relationship: The one you and your partner share. 

I get it, relationships are hard. But men have a tendency to commit fatal mistakes in their relationships—and most of these mistakes fly under our radar. 

That’s the bad news. 

The good news?

Not only is improving your relationship possible, but nobody understands how to improve your relationship better than today’s guest, Jayson Gaddis, author and founder of The Relationship School. 

Jayson had broken relationships his entire life because of his childhood conditioning. After doing the work and addressing the root cause (which was himself), he’s not only discovered how to improve his relationship, but he’s coached thousands of couples (and saved countless marriages) with his teachings. 

If you aren’t completely satisfied with your relationship, this episode will show you the way.
