If you’re a career-driven man in your 30s or 40s who keeps telling yourself you’ll “figure it out later”… this episode is going to sting, and it should.

Most corporate men don’t fail because they lack motivation.

They fail because they lie to themselves.

They say they “don’t have time.”

They say they “need to talk to their wife.”

They say they’re “price shopping.”

They say they “don’t want to restrict themselves.”

Every one of those excuses is why you’re still soft, inconsistent, tired, and watching other men get the results you want.

In this podcast, Coach Chris and Coach Brett dismantle every excuse that’s keeping guys like you stuck — and they don’t hold back.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally take control of your body, your energy, and your confidence…

this is it.

What you’ll walk away with:

• The truth about why you’re overweight

• The lies you tell yourself that keep you stuck

• The mindset shifts corporate men NEED to make

• Why you're delaying the pain instead of solving it

• How to take ownership and get your edge back for good

If you’re ready to stop hiding behind excuses and become the man your career, partner, and family need, hit play.
