No matter what anyone tells you, though, there are no shortcuts to accomplishing these goals, and some advertised shortcuts lead to disaster. I am here to help you up the steep, narrow path to genuine long-term health.

Fear. What it is? Is it real? How is it showing up in your life? Do you let it control your decisions? I believe there are real fears and made up fears that we all experience. Real fears, such as a fear of heights, exist for a good reason. But I would question, is it really a fear of heights, or is it a fear of something else? Made up fears, such as a fear of failure, do not necessarily exist for a good reason. What are you really afraid of? Is it failure? Or is it having your ego bruised? So many questions to unpack. I share my thoughts and personal experiences with you in today's episode.

Men suffer in silence. Men often don't talk about a lot of the stuff they should, like social support and relationships, pain and discomfort, emotional distress, loss and grief, anxiety and depression, or fear. The problem is, silence doesn't protect you. That stuff doesn't go away. It affects your choices and wears you down over time. But you don't have to go through this stuff alone. You can and should have someone to talk to about what you're going through, someone who will listen to you vent when you need to, but be ready to help or offer advice when you ask for it.

Today's episode is about being real and coming face to face with who you are as a human being. No guilt, no shame, just the facts of what's staring back at you in the mirror. I want to touch on this notion of dealing with regret. I believe one of the most difficult things to do today is to life your life each day as if it were your last, with no regrets. I take you into my personal life and share with you the regrets I've had to overcome in my faith, family, fitness, and finances.

Every wondered how people reach such high levels of success? Maybe you've been around people in a group and you notice that some have better results than others. Why do you think that is?

Have you ever started something new and felt the urge to quit? Me too! Many times. I would be forced to interrogate my thoughts and stories about why I even bothered trying something new or taking on more. Is this really working? What's the point? This sucks! But before you quit, ask yourself this: What's on the other side of quitting?

Fear is natural, and sometimes it's a useful alert to our "flight or fight" system. But when it comes to the self-limiting stories you tell yourself, it is SUCH a waste of time. Once you see it's just an illusion, no more powerful than a shadow on the wall, then you're free to let it go. If you want me to take you to a place you've never been before, are you willing to do what you've never done before?

Have you ever felt like life is going well, but something is missing inside? Well, if that's the case, know that you're not alone. A few years ago, I had this same feeling. I had two thriving businesses, a nice home, truck, and family. All the things a guy could ask for. Except something was missing. Why was I feeling the way I was feeling? Why was I having the thoughts I was having? Why did I feel so disempowered? Disconnected? These were questions I needed answers to. The problem was, I was looking in the wrong places.

The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that our potential is limited. Potential doesn't mean anything. It's nothing more than a limit you or someone else is putting on you. We live in the stories we create. It starts with knowing who you are at the core.

Everyone ends up somewhere. Few people end up somewhere on purpose. If you want to be an ineffective and unfulfilled person, don't be disciplined, don't start with the end in mind, put first things last, think about how you can take advantage of others rather than add value to them, be quick to speak and slow to listen, be an island unto yourself, and burn yourself out. I see all of these things all around me constantly. Today, we will discuss how to avoid these traps and be highly effective and fulfilled.
