Welcome to the first episode of the Be That Guy podcast. In this episode I explain how this will all work, the guests I will have on the show and what we will talk about. Our goal with this podcast is to help young men today feel less alone by getting an in-depth, unfiltered look into both the female and male perspective of how we can be better men and be that guy...

The final episode of libraries and weight rooms podcast...or is it?

I heard a saying once that completely changed my perspective about suffering. In this episode I share a story about a decision I made last year and what that decision has shown me about suffering.

If we follow our emotions and feelings we may not get much done. I experienced this idea this weekend and thought it might be relatable to when we don't feel like doing anything.

It was the best email I ever received. In this episode I read you an email that was sent to me by a mentor of mine. This email can help use see just how much good the world has to offer.

I realized something over my holiday break. While home with family I was trying to maintain consistency with all my habits, reading, exercise, diet...all the things that I thought were important to me in those moments, until I realized something. I explain what that something was in this episode.

A special episode today at my parents house in my childhood workout area. Over the past couple days I realized I wasn't being perfect with my habits yet I was till getting them done. It made me think about an important idea you can use going into 2025 when it comes to maintaining habits.

In this episode I tell a story about when I was late to a basketball practice and what it taught me about blaming others. It's a valuable lesson that helps us take control of our lives instead of giving other things power over us.

Sometimes I try to control things and then realize I can't. Then I get stuck in this grey area of trying to figure out if I actually can control the outcome. In this episode I explain a simple framework to use if you get caught in this scenario as well.

I really did not want to do it, yet a thought slid into my mind. In this episode I tell you what that thing was, the thoughts that came next and what I decided to do.
