The Irreplaceable Man Podcast

Marriage is not just about two people living together. When you’re married, you don’t have a housemate, you have a partner that you have made a commitment to. Not just to provide for or take care of, your commitment also has to do with who you are and who you become. Constant personal evolution and growth is a must. 

For the first couple years of our marriage, I wasnt following those rules. In my mind, because I was providing financially at a high level and we were living a great life, thats all the contribution that was necessary. 

Yeah, I was a fucking failure as a husband and then the day came when Mere had enough. She gave me an ultimatum that hit me square between the eyes. It broke me and knocked me onto a course of deep level personal growth and development. The fact that not only was I replaceable in my marriage, I also realized that like most men, I was also replaceable as a leader in my business, as a professional and sadly, as a father. 

Everything changed when the fear of her being with someone else kicked in and I would have let her go knowing that I could have done something however I remained selfish and in my ego. It was beyone fear, I felt and sensed the immense regret I would feel later on in life knowing that I had the chance to make it better and didnt. 

So the first commitment was to me, to put me first in a serving way and focus on my growth while I learned about what she needed and who she needed me to be. 

In this special episode, my wife (Meredith) and I put everything on the table and talk about our relationship from the beginning. We are vulnerable and honest about the ins and outs of our marriage in hopes of helping every man out there to transform into their best selves and finally become The Irreplaceable Man & Husband that they need to be, the one their wives want to be with and the one their wives will never leave.. Yes, brother, its all on you! 

Now that we have switched over to The Irreplaceable Man podcast, you can expect 2x episodes a month with Meredith and I digging into a new topic that stop marriages from being amazing and stop men from being irreplaceable.

Episode 301 is about putting yourself first and making sure you are working on your fullest potential, because what you have financially and materially is not always the truest form of happiness.

The truth is, all the money and material possessions in the world may not make you happy. In fact, if you don't feel complete you will probably never let yourself enjoy what you have. Put yourself first and work on your self-depreciation issues, so that you can get out of your own way and achieve real happiness and success.

Episode 300 is about why even great marriages could still be at the brink of divorce, and how going through self-transformation could remedy such a situation.

There is a common misconception that if you are married, your marriage is guaranteed. This is not the case, and anyone who says otherwise is either unaware of or in denial of the issues concerning the reality of marriage. According to The National Center for Health Statistics in the United States, at least 50% of marriages will end in divorce (Jones & Schulz, 2000).

Today, Keith Yackey, founder and CEO of The Married Game & The Ascend Brotherhood, has been committed to helping married men learn how to get their wives to “want” to have sex with them again. He will be discussing communication, attraction, integrity, supporting yourself and other winning formulas that could help you and your spouse rekindle your connection, as every great marriage could be on the doorstep of divorce. It's not a question of “if,” it's a question of “when.”

The ability to overcome challenges helps us heal from pain, transform disappointment into victory, and rebuild trust. You don't have to go through the crisis alone. Get advice and guidance from our episodes. Follow us at https://menonpurpose.net/apply/.

It's time to stop letting your marriage fall apart!

Episode 299 is about generational traumas and experiences, and how we cope with it differently in our varying paces as individuals.

As we grow older, we may not even realize that we are living with the effects of generational traumas. Our coping skills are programmed into us by our parents, siblings and other environmental factors — even if it doesn’t seem like we’re hearing it directly from them. Each generation has nuances, but the bottom line is that we must break these patterns if we want to move forward.

Generational trauma is defined as the psychological consequences of traumatic events that are experienced by a second or subsequent generation through inherited family systems. This form of intergenerational trauma can lead to physical, emotional and mental health problems.

Today, Paul Cope, a highly accomplished consultant, coach, business owner and corporate lawyer possessing a powerful transformative presence with the ability to provide insights that are invaluable to any organization — reminds us of the impact of generational trauma and how we must cope with it. He shares that as humans, we are hardwired to deal with crises and trauma by connecting socially with other people in our community. As a result of our experiences with trauma and loss, it may be difficult for us to trust others or reach out when we need help, hence why he wrote the book How to Solve Any Problem in Life.

Just like Paul, we want to help guide men in whatever it is that they might be going through.

Episode 298 is about acknowledging and accepting your core, including loving who you are with the help of discovering new realms.

At some point in our lives, we all go through the deep and dark hole of self-discovery. We fear that what we are or who we are could be deemed as unacceptable by society — that we think we need to achieve so many things and become so powerful just to be praised by others. We often fail to realize that this acceptance, respect and praise that we crave are highly rooted within ourselves.

Today, Matt Zemon, the author of Psychedelics for Everyone and the Co-Founder of HAPPŸŸ — a mental wellness company that specializes in psychedelic-assisted oral ketamine therapy along with digital therapeutics that promote life-transforming outcomes, challenges us to keep an open-mind to welcome the proper usage and benefits of psychedelics as powerful medicines. He will be with us to speak about his transformation and how psychedelics were able to help other people overcome anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD and many more.

As Matt said, “You are enough right now. You are loved right now. Just go. Just be.” So, join us as we face life with gratitude. May we start counting what we have, rather than complain about what we do not have. Allow us to guide you as we provide support for men through their self-discovery journey.

Episode 297 is about embracing the mystery of death, our spiritual connections with others and how it can transform us.

Most of us fear the idea of death, because we all fear what we do not know. We fear that we might no longer be able to do what we could have done when we still had the chance. Indeed, we regret more the things we did not do than those we did, and this is what makes today’s episode very special — as it teaches us how we could possibly handle the concept of dying and how it involves a lot of acceptance.

Today, former founder and CEO of a successful multimillion-dollar consumer products company, John David Latta, opens our minds and challenges our emotions when it comes to the inevitable. He is a mystic, teacher, and author who shares intimate and personal stories and teaches workshops on leadership, healing, transformation, awakening, love, synchronicity, and wisdom that unite and expand human experience.

As John shares, “We are constructed at a soul level. A cat doesn't die, but the body dies. A human being doesn't die, but the body dies.” Death is a mystery, but death is also part of life and a natural, spiritual experience. To understand what happens when we die, we need to see ourselves in the context of relationships that connect us with others and with something beyond our individual selves.

Just like John, we value relationships and connections the most, that is why we provide support for men in all works of life — an extraordinary opportunity to live life more fully and connect with those they love.

Episode 296 is about personal development and being purposeful in your life journey.

When opportunities arise in your life, do you realize how often you discredit yourself? Because our episode for today tells us straight up that discrediting yourself is not only negative for you; it also insults those who believe in the value that you bring. Discrediting yourself is a dangerous thing to do. When you start believing that you are not good enough, that belief can spread to other areas of your life, and it will cause you to make bad decisions.

Today, CEO Randall Crowder of Phunware — a technology company in Austin, TX developing mobile and data solutions for major brands and launching a unique cryptocurrency called PhunCoin, encourages us to be critical in our life choices. Our life choices include a lot of self-actualization and self-reflection, and this episode is about owning up to your choices, because whatever you have, wherever you are, and whoever you are now, is all on YOU.

As Randall shares, “We are not human beings. We are human BECOMINGS,” and that speaks volumes about who we choose to be in life. That is why we provide support for men in all works of life, to help you become the person you ought to be. Follow us at https://menonpurpose.net

Episode 295 is about surviving the dark hole in pursuit of our true purpose and happiness.

Sometimes when things are going so perfectly in our life, that’s the exact moment we feel lost. We get consumed by fame, power and money, thinking all of it should be enough, that it is all that we need — that we forget what it truly feels to LIVE. We start asking ourselves, is this all life has to offer?

Today, a former MLB baseball player and MLB all star, Shea Hillenbrand gets to share with us his journey towards the pursuit of his true purpose and happiness. He hid all of his childhood dreams and then realized that none of them were his actual dreams, that all he was doing was chasing the money, fame and the identity of his popularity to appease his ego. So in this episode, we are going to dig deep into our childhood traumas, face our fears, and surpass all the hurdles we thought only the grand things could solve, and we are going to do this together.

As Shea says, “Don’t miss the meat of the method: POWER and PERSPECTIVE,” so rediscover yourself with us. We provide support for men in all walks of life. Follow us at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/.

Episode 294 is about diving deep into the human experience.

When we deal with our emotions, especially when it comes to love, it’s helpful to identify our patterns. This could resolve a lot of issues when it comes to intimacy, traumas, and even grief. After all, the opposite of love is grief. You love somebody you can lose. That’s an unforgettable line we got from Dr. Thomas Jordan — whose clinical specialty is treating adults who are depressed and anxious about past or present unhealthy relationship experiences, people who are struggling with low self-esteem, feelings of loss, or an unhealthy love life.

Today, Dr. Thomas will be with us to talk about the psychology around love, and how you can change your love life by changing your psychology.

Episode 293 is about the diamond in the rough.

When we work, we don't just make more. We become more. That's advice from the Pope himself. I got to hang out with Andreas Widmer, who used to work for the Pope and now works for you. For years and years, through his stories and experience, Andrew has helped men declare value for themselves. He's shared how the answers are within you and that change is never done.

He offers a ton of wisdom for entrepreneurs and is interested in getting the word out of self-love especially for men. We cover a lot of ground including: choosing yourself, what it's like to work directly with the Pope, dealing with your inner conflict, how to deal with feeling used, the need for validation and overcoming it. Today we'll dig into Andreas's insights of authenticity, facing conflict, and doing conscious work towards finding your purpose.

To help you break through and see the diamond inside, we provide support for men in all walks of life, follow us at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/
