Don't let your past failures or your fear of failure hold you back from taking action and living your best life. In this episode, you will learn: 1. What are the things that prevent us from taking action and moving from theory to practice? 2. What are the rewards of taking action and executing your plans? 3. How do you balance the two out just a little bit?"Most surprisingly though, success is a common fear. What happens if our lofty plans succeed? Will that change us? Will it be enough to satisfy us? What comes next? After that? What will people expect from us if we actually achieve something?"I'm Brent, and today I want to talk about balancing theory versus practice. A lot of us get stuck in the planning and theorizing phase because we're afraid of failure, doubt our abilities, or are too comfortable. We might also enjoy learning and planning so much that we never take action. Perfectionism, worrying about other people, and bad experiences can also hold us back. And sometimes we think it's too late to act on our plans. But if we don't take action, we'll never reach our full potential.In this episode, you will learn the following:1. What are the things that prevent us from taking action and moving from theory to practice?2. What are the rewards of taking action and executing your plans?3. How do you balance the two out just a little bit?Resources:The Phoenix Men's Conference

“Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate, so we can buy sh*t we don’t need. We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we’ll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won’t.”

Did you ever watch the movie Fight Club with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton? If so you may recognize the line, if not, don’t worry, it is not a prerequisite for this episode. For some people the idea that there is wisdom to be had in the movie may seem like a stretch. It was a really interesting movie and men tend to be drawn to it. If you listen to the show, you will know I am a movie nerd and I am always looking to glean what I can from a movie.

Let me be fully transparent, if you have not seen Fight Club and you want to, Spoilers ahead, you may want to come back after you see it. I will not dig deep into the movie, so you don’t need to have seen it, but I don’t want to ruin any plot points because that always pisses me off as an avid movie guy.

Today we are going to dive into this cult classic and pull out 7 proven truths for men who want proven results in their lives. Are you ready to Thrive as a man? This episode will help you!

Most Dad’s struggle with communicating effectively at one or more ages in their children’s life.  Communication is a big part of life, but even board room pro’s can struggle when talking to their own children.

In this episode of The Fallible Man Podcast we share and discuss 7 tips that Work with ANY Child to Communicate Better as a Father. I have worked with kids in various capacities for over 27 years now and while every child is unique, there are some universal techniques that work. Regardless of if you have a preschooler or a college student these communication tips will help you. (It may even help in other communications in your life)

Here is the catch, because there is always a catch. You really have to want to communicate effectively with your children. This is not the EASY button of communication and you are going to do all the work to set the tone. This won’t work for absentee fathers and people who want to half a$$ it. If you are still with me great!

In this episode we will talk about transparency in your life, humility, consistency in your relationship, priorities and speaking the right language. If you are ready to step up and communicate with your kids like never before it will take work and patience. If you’re ready, let’s get into it!

In the early hours of the morning in Little Rock you encounter a group of men out for a walk. It is still dark, cool and the streets are pretty bare otherwise. It is a strange site, but they aren’t just walking either. Some carry a log together; others bear crawl or push a sled. What are these crazy people doing marching towards the capital building? They are obviously tired and switch out spots periodically, but they are still enthused. There is a strange camaraderie between them that makes you want to join in. What is this and what is it about?

Meet School of Man (or SOM) and their founder Cole Rodgers. This is a place you have to get an invitation to because not just anyone is ready for this. It is a place where they use terms like Integrity, Ethos, Commitment, Dedication; here they challenge men physically, emotionally and mentally. Here you will face your demons and push yourself further than you ever thought possible. If you are put in the work, you may even earn your Phoenix. The journey will change your life forever and you will come away with far more than you ever thought you could. Please don’t mistake this for a gym, it is a school. It is a way of life.

Cole Rodgers started life just like a lot of us do, chasing “the dream” and following other people who were successful. Along the way he got lost in the choices and consequences of said choices; it blew up his life. Things started to change when one person in his life cared enough to speak those words “Cole, you need to Unf*ck yourself”

How about you? Is it time for you to set your path straight? Do you need to make some changes? Do you hear those words speaking to your heart? Today we talk unapologetically with a man on a mission, to reach as many men as possible and help them on their path to the life they were born for.

What is holding you back? What prevents you from your reaching your dreams and the achievements that you long for? This is an honest question and it is very individual usually; there are some universal things that a lot of us struggle with that are poison in your life no matter how you look at it. This is not a holier than thou conversation because we all have work to do in our lives.

I am not here to slap your hand and tell you that you are bad, I am not that much of a hypocrite. I got my own sh*t to work on and no one knows than more than me. There are some disturbing trends as men that just need to go the way of the dodo. Things that are preventing us from reaching our goals and potential as men.

The 7 Bad Habits we talk about on today's show are common issues that hold a lot of us back from that. Some of them may not seem like a problem, but it is amazing how often they are controlling you, not the other way around. You may not be struggling with all of these, but are likely encountering a few. See which ones surprise you and let us know?

On today’s show we are talking about building a resilient foundation for your life so that when the inevitable storms of live rock you like a hurricane you come out on top.

There are always storms in life, It is the very nature of life to have peaks and valleys, there are only lulls for a time. Change is the constant that you can count on.

None of us like difficult times, but it does not change the reality for us. A lot of people have been experiencing this in the last couple of years, the dreaded r0na changed the world as we know it and altered a lot of people’s lives forever.

Businesses were shuttered, lively hoods lost, and jobs gone. The way everyday life worked changed too. The repercussions are still rippling through the waters of life, jobs are still being lost as things get automated, more people are doing more for the same amount so companies can cut overhead.

In all this turbulence and changing landscapes we need solid, resilient foundations that will not move or break no matter what we through at. In this episode we share 5 layers to build a rock solid foundation that will keep you more stable no matter what life throws your direction. We talk about SMART Goals, Perspective, Side Hustles, habits and so much more!

What is it that top executives and entrepreneurs like Tim Ferris, Gary Vaynerchuk and Grant Cardone know that separates them from the rest that you can do too? It’s not the money thing, but it certainly helped them get that and keep it. In fact millions of people have searched for it on YouTube alone.

I sat down with Author, entrepreneur and executive coach Ryan Cote to talk about this simple process that most people don’t do but could. Ryan Cote is the owner of Morning Upgrade, a business dedicated to increasing the awareness of personal development through a blog, podcast, book and morning routine cards. He is also co-owner in his family’s marketing agency and a real estate investor.

We did a Deep Dive into the magic behind morning routines, you may laugh but the most successful people in the world live and swear by their own routine. Ryan talks to us about how to refine your own and make it practical, because not everyone has 2 or 3 hours.

In his own words: "I have no excuse. There's no reason why I can't wake up 30 minutes early before my kids get up and do my morning routine because I know it's important. I know that's the person I am. I know that's what I do. And it feeds me"
