What excuses are you making a part of your identity that - you may not want to hear this - are bullshit excuses?

Mine? 'I'm depressed' is one of the big ones, until I realized that while it may be a serious mental health condition that requires professional support, for me at times it's the ultimate 'out' when it comes to keeping commitments to myself and others.

Is your wife or girlfriend your BEST friend? If so, you could be in trouble.

As much as I love Jennilee, it took us breaking up to realize that I need men in my life to help carry the weight and pressures of being a man. Putting everything on Jennilee - my business ideas, my fitness ideas, my life challenges, EVERYTHING - was not fair.

So what did I do about it, more importantly, if YOUR wife or girlfriend is your be-all-end-all (or you have a Brother who fits that description), you'll want to stay tuned for this one.

EP114 - What's the point of listening to a podcast if you're not going to take action?

Don't get me wrong...sometimes I just want to relax and listen to one of my favorite podcasts but for me - and I'm willing to bet you as well if you're listening to this - I listen to podcasts because I want to grow, expand, and get better!

For years I let the dramatic dopamine hits of listening to amazing ideas flood my world and leave no time/room for action as I consumed more and more content.

But the more time you spend consuming the less time you have actually to act on the shit you're consuming.

Today is a first for me, and I'm very excited about it.

Today's podcast is an episode of my dear Brother and Physique Engineer Philip's Wits & Weights podcast where we discuss how to stop passively consuming content and take the action you need to Ignite the Impact you wish to see in your world.

Are you like me and most other men in that you're a fixer? 

You know...your wife, partner, or Brother comes to you with a problem, and even before the words are out of their mouth, you're already thinking of (or worse yet, telling them) the solution?

What if there was something so simple and so obvious that would make your life WAY easier while ensuring the other person doesn't end up shitting all over you for offering your help? That's what we'll tackle in today's Challenge.

How many times have you been in a difficult conversation with your partner only to be totally surprised (and perhaps pissed off by) the way that they react? Are they the problem or are you?

Rather than play the blame game, wouldn't it make more sense to see how you can not only handle the situation better the next time around but maybe...just maybe...prevent the house from burning down in the first place?

How would you know if your partner feels loved and supported as opposed to neglected and unimportant? Go ahead and assume your partner feels loved but I'm pretty sure that assumption was made by almost all of the 70% of men who's wives initiated the divorce.

Whether in your romantic relationship or with your Brothers, you'll rarely go wrong when you become aware of the little things you can do that will have the biggest impact.

EP113 - What happens when you connect men who are in the business of becoming better men? Shit. Gets. Done! 

As you'll hear right away, there is a massive difference between knowing the path and walking the path, and these three men who I am blessed and honored to call my Brothers are not just walking the path but paving it for any man ready to follow in their footsteps.

This episode is proof of the fact that, as ma man DP put it so perfectly, 'Good people are hard to find but they shouldn't be because they're everywhere.'

How do your relationships affect your mental health? Or is it the fact that your mental health affects your relationships that you need to be concerned with? 

While I can't tell you what the answer is for you, I can tell you that you'd be dangerously foolish to think that it's not a two-way street.
