  • Sorry Not Sorry with Jasmine Gardner

    'I'm sorry.'

    There's a strong chance you use this phrase a lot. In fact, you probably use it way too much - and it's not your fault. Society has taught us to say sorry - to feel sorry - whether we're in the wrong or not.

    Today I'm joined by my wife Jasmine to talk about creating a relationship that matters, and not one that makes you right or wrong.

    Should you say you're sorry?

    Do you even need to apologize?

    We've both got different views on this, but guess what?

    We're still married. It's still working.

    And today we want to help you build a stronger relationship too.

    Here Are The Show Highlights:

    • Negotiating your way to a better relationship (1:45)
    • A guy's addiction from a woman's perspective - what's it actually like? (3:20)
    • The detrimental thing about an apology, and why "I'm sorry" doesn't always translate (16:10)
    • Is marriage just a set of business transactions? (17:00)
    • The #1 reason why we have the hardest times with the people closest to us (19:15)

    If you or somebody you know is looking to drop the 'F' Bomb of freedom in your life and break free from addiction, depression, anxiety or anything that's making you feel flat-out stuck, head over to www.liberateaman.com and book a call where we can look at your situation and give you the roadmap you've been missing.

  • Taking the Leap

    It's tough when you start moving in an unconventional direction for the very first time. You don't yet have the confidence in yourself, there's no proven roadmap to guide you, and it can seem overwhelming.

    So many people out there who want to change their lives step up and say "

    "I want this, I'm going to do whatever it takes, I'm committed..."

    They get right to the edge, ready to take the leap into the unknown, then talk themselves out of it.

    "..It's too expensive, I'm not sure it's going to work out, my friends won't like me if I do it."

    Everything in our system shows up and says DON'T DO IT!

    We back off, we procrastinate, and we miss the life-changing experience on the other side of the unknown.

    Today we're talking about taking that leap of faith when you don't know how. If you truly desire something in life, the BEST place to be is the place where you don't know: the freedom you're looking for is waiting on the other side of the unknown. It's up to you to take that leap.

    Here Are The Show Highlights:

    • A life-lesson you can learn from skydiving (1:10)
    • The one thing we fear more than death (8:25)
    • Why we fear the unknown, and how you can overcome your fear and get more out of life (10:40)
    • Burning the boats to achieve total freedom (15:25)
    • The hidden beauty of risk and racing the unknown (20:15)

    Truth has the power to pierce through the thick darkness that stands in your way. It breaks the chains of darkness that keep us prisoners of the life we do not want.

    Today, we're going to walk through the Truth Method ™ and show you how to start creating solutions in your life instead of made-up problems.

    Here Are The Show Highlights:
