Episode Summary

After a multi-year pause, Eric returns to the Man of Class podcast with a grounded and timely conversation about peace—why so many men want it, yet struggle to feel it. Inspired by a message heard at church, this episode explores why peace is achieved through reconciliation rather than compromise. Eric breaks down what reconciliation truly means, how it differs from compromise, and why unresolved issues continue to resurface in our lives. This episode sets the tone for a new season of Man of Class focused on clarity, alignment, and building an exceptional life.

Busyness, success without fulfillment, hustle culture, and unresolved tension.

Why avoiding conflict only pushes tension underground.

A clear definition of reconciliation and why alignment matters more than comfort.

15:30 – Root cause vs surface-level fixes
Using an engineering mindset to explain reconciliation as solving the real problem.

27:00 – Listener-style Q&A: real questions men ask

How do I reconcile without it turning into a fight?

What if the other person won’t reconcile?

How do I know if I’m compromising or reconciling?

What if reconciliation means things have to change?

31:30 – Live Mondays at 8pm EST & what’s coming next
Introducing the live format and community-driven direction.

33:00 – Builder’s Mastermind & closing reflection
Where are you compromising instead of reconciling? Peace is built, not found.

You ever get the feeling something is “off”. That feeling that you can’t quite put your finger on but you just don’t feel right. If that’s you, or has been you at some point, chances are it could be anxiety.

Most men don’t talk about Anxiety so how could you know about it or even better how to get out of that feeling. This week’s episode is focused on identifying it, what to do about it and what awareness you can gain in your life. Living a life that is designed by you means you need to tackle emotions and that’s exactly what this episode will help you with.

Chad Sutton and I have come together to create a brand new series, Myths of Riches where we debunk a lot of what people have assumed for wealth creation as well as MANY different options on how you can move down your wealth journey. Whether you don't even know where to start or whether you've been accumulating wealth for awhile, there is value to be had by tuning into this series.

This episode we brought in a special guest again, Elliott Stapleton. He brings in an intense knowledge base around wealth transfer, probate court, trusts and so much more. We will cover some of the major lies around wealth transfer, ways you can arm yourself whether its helping your parents/grandparents with their wealth or ensuring your own house is in order. I would NOT miss this episode, it’s a topic that EVERYONE will have to deal with at some point and those that are proactive have more choices available to them.

These are all resources, concepts, strategies and tactics that you can use in your own wealth journey. Some will stick, some will roll off and some you’ll remember and come back to later. That’s the reason why we pull in the concepts, people and strategies so you can use this season as a resource along your whole wealth journey, regardless of when you start and how long you’ve been at it.

If you have questions, reach out to either Chad Sutton or Eric Yusko on social media so we can make sure to get your questions answered during one of the upcoming episodes. You have a unique opportunity to get the help you need from guys who have been building wealth and knowledge these areas.

Have you ever been confused on your wealth journey, where to start? Do I pay off debt and live debt free? Do I need to prioritize a savings account? What about retirement? 

If you've asked yourselves those questions, take a listen. This episode was inspired from a question on someone from Hi-Ho that had asked who do I listen to Eric? Cardone, Ramsey...? I told him it depends on where you're at and where you're looking to go but I discuss much more in this episode.

This episode we brought in a special guest again, David Zapata, who has been in the infinite banking game for a while now and has helped raise awareness of a concept that the rich have tapped into…becoming their own bank. Last episode we talked a lot of macro concepts around infinite banking and this episode is more of the tactical pieces. We decided to have a Q&A with David so he can help explain the concept through more examples which, let’s face it, always makes things easier to understand.

This episode we brought in a special guest, David Zapata, who has been in the infinite banking game for a while now and has helped raise awareness of a concept that the rich have tapped into…becoming their own bank. We all know, there’s a lot of power that can be had when you’re a bank because of the way our financial system is setup. Imagine, if you could create the same banking system for yourself, where you borrow from yourself, gain interest and increase your overall wealth all at the same time. If that caught you attention, it did for us too which is why we asked David to join us in this season to share what he knows about infinite banking.

We often hear the same story over and over again, what does it take to really make a pivot in my family's wealth? I want to provide a better life for my kids, but where do I start? I've tried investing, saving money but it just doesn't work....how can I change that? 

These questions ( and probably more) can be answered with one topic, mindset) IF you don't have the right mindset, you'll have the HARDEST time getting wealthy. It's just like when you were single trying to find a match but your mindset was still in being single. 

You were pushing away every relationship that could have been something...same thing here. You could be pushing away every opportunity that you could be increasing your financial game, and be completely unaware of it. 

That's what we cover in this week's episode, how to become aware of your mindset and how to make changes that'll turn your future into the bright future you keep imagining for yourself.
