Most men want life to get easier but it never does. The truth is, every path is hard. Waking up early is hard. But living with no energy all day? That’s hard too. Training consistently takes effort but so does being out of shape, weak, and constantly tired.

In this episode, Dane breaks down one of the most powerful mindset shifts you’ll ever make as a man: you don’t get to choose easy—you only get to choose your difficult. Every decision you make, from your diet to your discipline, from your career to your relationships, is shaping who you become.

Dane walks through nine real-life “hard vs. hard” scenarios every man faces and shows you which one builds you instead of breaks you. From getting up early, to investing in yourself, to having hard conversations and setting boundaries, this episode will hit you right between the eyes.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or like you’ve been playing small, this is your wake-up call. You’ll walk away with clarity, conviction, and a challenge: choose the hard that makes you a better man, husband, and father.

Life doesn’t get easier. You just choose which difficult you want.
