Breaking the Cycle of Hopium: Taking Action in Life and Relationships

Episode #1002

If you've been telling yourself "now's not the right time," it might be time to take a closer look at what that's really costing you. In this episode, Doug Holt and Coach Mark Smith dive into the common trap a lot of men fall into—waiting, hoping, and putting off action in their relationships, health, and personal growth.

This isn't about hype or motivation. It's about being honest with yourself, owning where you're at, and recognizing that hope alone doesn't create change—leadership does. Doug and Mark share real stories from men they've coached, what happens when guys delay action, and how taking even the smallest step can shift everything.

If you've been stuck in your head, waiting for a better time, this episode is your call to stop hoping and start doing. No fluff—just real talk, practical insight, and a challenge to lead your life, not wait your way through it.
