In this heartfelt episode, Tanner Helm connects with David James Sherban, a man who has transformed his personal struggles into a mission to help other men rediscover their purpose. David's journey began from a place of deep despair, grappling with depression and suicidal thoughts following a painful breakup.

David shares that his journey wasn’t planned. After experiencing a relationship breakdown, he sought help but hesitated to reach out for therapy. A pivotal moment came when he encountered an ad aimed at men struggling in their relationships. This experience opened his eyes, revealing how far he had drifted from his true self.

From there, David transitioned from owning gyms to focusing on men’s work, where he realized that many of his clients needed more than just fitness advice—they needed emotional support and connection.

As David started to share his own experiences on social media, he discovered the power of vulnerability. He began to attract a community of men eager to talk about their struggles. In just a few weeks, his following exploded, and he started receiving heartfelt messages from men reaching out for guidance.

David learned that sharing his story not only helped him heal but also resonated deeply with others. His discussions shifted from fitness to the emotional challenges men face, creating a space for genuine connection and understanding.

As David delved deeper into his faith, he began to incorporate biblical lessons into his messaging. This added a new layer to his work, allowing him to connect with men on both a personal and spiritual level.

David’s journey is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the importance of community support. His evolution from fitness to men's coaching has not only reignited his passion but has also allowed him to make a significant impact on the lives of men seeking guidance.

This episode beautifully captures the essence of personal growth through shared experiences. For those navigating their own struggles, David's story serves as a reminder of the transformative power of community and connection.

If you resonate with David’s journey or are looking for support, consider reaching out to your community or exploring resources for men’s work. For the full conversation, tune in to the episode.

What’s going on, everybody? In this episode, Tanner Helm dives into his journey of shifting perspectives as he welcomes October, not as the end of the year, but as the start of Q1.

Tanner shares a transformative approach he adopted years ago, treating the last quarter of the year as the beginning of a new cycle. While others coast into the new year, he ramps up his efforts to gain momentum. "If everybody's gonna put their foot on the gas at the beginning of January, I wanted to do it ahead of the curve." This mindset fosters clarity and focus on his goals, not just for business, but for personal growth as well.

In a recent business planning workshop, Tanner emphasized the importance of connecting daily tasks to long-term significance. "What turns a list of goals into a vision you can actually complete is understanding the significance behind each task." This method helps him maintain direction toward his 10-year vision while navigating daily responsibilities.

Tanner candidly reflects on the challenges he faced when his Instagram DMs were shut down for three weeks, a critical channel for his coaching business. Despite this setback, he views it as a blessing in disguise, pushing him to diversify his business strategies. "It exposed a massive hole in my business... I cannot run a coaching company at the scale I want to run it, where 100% of my business is through Instagram DMs."

As Tanner navigates these changes, he shares a significant realization about ambition and fulfillment. "I just want to figure out how much is enough... how can I get my days to be 100% things I enjoy doing?" This introspection drives his focus for the coming years, aiming to align his business with passion and purpose.

With plans to expand his coaching program and potentially host a mastermind retreat, Tanner is excited about the future. He envisions a space where men in real estate can gather, not just to learn about business but to grow personally and professionally.

As Tanner wraps up, he expresses gratitude for the time to reflect and plan, emphasizing the importance of clarity in vision and goals. It's a journey of growth, and he's just getting started.
