🤔 EP019 - MMU Question of the Day - If the quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships, how can you ensure you are not settling for so much less than you and the people you love deserve inside of those relationships

FACT - The #4 regret of the dying is, “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends”, and the #2 regret is, “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”  

What do both of these things have in common? They dramatically impact the quality of our relationships and therefore the quality of our lives. 

I cannot tell you how many stories I have heard (mine being one of them) of Brothers working so hard on their business while simultaneously neglecting and undervaluing their relationships with our partners, kids, and Brothers. Unfortunately, many of those stories have extremely unhappy endings.

🎙️ In today's podcast, I’m going to dive deep into how I was able to save the single most important relationship I have ever had, and the simple strategy I began using back in 2020 that has brought me closer to my Brothers than I have ever been in my life.

🤔 EP018 - If you’ve hit a plateau with your physique and you’re not happy with the body you see staring back at you in the mirror, what’s the anchor you need to weigh so that you don’t stay stuck where you are permanently?

FACT - 30-40% of us men are not happy with the way we look, feel, and perform and a good 85% of us wish we had more muscle. And since our bodies - whether we like it or not - are a clear sign to the world of our level of masculinity, how trustworthy we are, and how much we care about ourselves and our families, what is it going to take for us to flip the switch on masculine health and fitness?

🎙️ In today's podcast, I’m going to talk about something super embarrassing when it comes to my body in hopes that the transformation I have been able to make - both in mind and body - inspires you to take a good, honest look as to whether or not you’re selling yourself short, holding yourself back, or both.

🤔 EP017 - What is the one critical factor of a successful business that comes before profit, revenue, sales, and even product development, and how can we make this one factor the focal point of not just our business but our purpose?

FACT - I’ve been in the podcast game for about 2.5 years and have yet to turn a profit through my podcast. Is it because my podcast sucks? Maybe, but I honestly don’t think so. Is it because I don’t have a solid revenue-generating system? That could be a piece of the puzzle for sure. 

But there’s one thing that got me to quit my corporate job almost 8 years ago if I had only kept it top of mind the success of my business would be vastly different from what it is today.

🎙️ In today's podcast, we’re getting a much-needed wake-up call from the Modern Wisdom Podcast, EP813 w/ Joe Hudson - The Art of Mastering Your Emotions, where both Joe and Chris stumble upon the turning point that took Chris’ podcast from ‘just another podcast’ to one of the most listened to and respected podcasts in the world.

EP016 - MMU Question of the Day: Would you rather waste time figuring out how to manage your stress or eliminate as much of it as possible? If eliminating stress is the key to experiencing more joy, what is one of the fastest ways to eliminate much of the stress we experience from our jobs, our relationships, and all the everyday shit we have to do so that we no longer have to figure out how to manage our stress?

🤔 Did you know that… 82% of men have experienced moderate to extreme stress, 73% have experienced anxiety, and 61% have experienced depression? While those three things show up for all of us in different ways, there’s one thing we all have in common - we need to know what to do when they show up so that they don’t end up knocking us down or out for too long.

🎙️ In today's podcast, we’re taking inspiration from one of the best podcast episodes I have listened to this year in hopes that the simple 4-rep set we’ll be crushing today is going to help you better understand the art of mastering your emotions.

🤬 WTFU 005 - How is it that most “Wellness Coaches” and ‘Fitfluencers” are getting away with peddling shit that is collectively costing people trillions of dollars a year on broken promises?

🤬 WARNING - This episode may set a record for F-Bombs. Just saying.

FACT - 25% of people give up on their health and fitness goals after one week, 43% after one month, and a staggering 91% of people give up before reaching their goals.

🎙️ In today's edition of WTFU Wednesdays, I’m going to ruffle some feathers for sure and I may simply end up blowing smoke out of my ass as I dive into one of the worst mistakes I have made as a so-called Coach that I see countless others doing, and it needs to fucking stop for the health and sake of our world.

🤔 EP015 - What is the most important metaphorical muscle you need to build for a strong relationship with your partner, your Brothers, your clients, and most importantly yourself?

Did you know that 70% of divorces are initiated by women? This doesn’t account for the men who stay in marriages for the kids or simply because they believe it’s less painful than starting over.

As for male friendships, did you know that 40% of men have never confided in another Brother about their mental health issues, which may help explain why suicide is the leading cause of death for men under the age of 50?

🎙️ In today's podcast, my dear Brother and fellow podcaster Marc Paisant is going to be our inspiration as he unknowingly identifies what makes him an amazing husband, father, friend, and human being with one simple habit that most of us overlook and undervalue.

🤔 EP014 - If consistency is the key to getting and staying in the best shape of your life, what is the key to consistency?

If you struggle with staying consistent long enough to reach your goals both inside and outside the gym, today’s episode is going to give you a very unique look at what it takes to stay consistent.

FACT - Studies suggest 43% of people give up on their goals within one month, and that number rises to over 90% in just three months. But wait a minute…with all the FREE access to unlimited information and resources, is it the people that suck or the information that is to blame?

🎙️ In today's podcast, Professor Pape is going to introduce us to what I think is an ingenious perspective and approach to achieving and maintaining the consistency we need both inside and outside the gym by taking advantage of one of the most popular engineering principles there is.

🤬 WTFU 004 - Would you invest in a stock that over the past several decades has yielded returns of zero percent or worse for 80-92% of its investors? This may sound like a rhetorical question to which the answer is an obvious ‘HELL NO!’, yet millions of people are throwing away trillions of dollars annually into this exact type of investment.

FACT - Studies suggest that approximately 80-85 percent of people with the goal to lose weight who successfully achieve their goal end up putting all the weight right back on in the long term, while a ridiculous 92% of people fail to reach their goals attached to life beyond the gym and the kitchen.

🎙️ In today's edition of WTFU Wednesdays, we’re going to uncover one of the primary reasons investing in traditional self-improvement and health & fitness advice is a proven losing strategy for the vast majority of people, but perhaps even more importantly discover an alternative investment principle that has proven to yield incredible long-term results for anyone who gets in early enough

🤔 EP013 - If a huge part of being a man is knowing and ultimately fulfilling your purpose, wouldn’t it be wise to stop and check to see if the path you’re on is taking you in the right direction?

FACT - Most people fail to fulfill their most meaningful purpose. But it’s not always due to a lack of effort, discipline, or knowledge. More often than not it’s due to a lack of clarity - clarity on what their most meaningful purpose is and what stands in the way of fulfilling it.

🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we’re gonna be getting a mini masterclass on what it means to have clarity of purpose as a man and the principal steps we must all take in pursuit of our purpose. Here are the four questions that are going to help us do that today:

💪🏾 PodPump#1 - If feeling confident as a man means having clarity of purpose and direction in our lives, when was the last time you stopped on the side of the road that is your life journey to evaluate whether or not you are confidently headed in the right direction towards the fulfillment of your purpose? (8:34)

💪🏾 PodPump#2 - Have you ever taken the time to sit down and determine your most important values in life and evaluate whether or not the purpose you are pursuing and therefore the actions in which you invest your limited time align with those values? (14:08)

💪🏾 PodPump#3 - Have you ever identified the different orchestra sections and members in the symphony that is your life purpose and stopped to listen for how in sync they are and the degree of harmony with which they play? (23:49)

💪🏾 PodPump#4 - Have you ever taken the time to evaluate the quantity and quality of purpose-driven men in your life and assessed whether or not the men in your life are supporting you in becoming more proficient and profitable in your pursuit of purpose? (34:35)

🤔 EP012 - Would you want to know if you were headed down the road toward a major breakdown because of anxiety, stress, or depression before it’s too late?

FACT - Like a physical disease, a mental disease isn’t something that just happens overnight. Rarely do we just have a breakdown out of nowhere as opposed to it being something that, if we simply paid attention to the warning signs, we would not only be able to predict but more importantly prevent.

🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we’re gonna be stepping on the scale and taking a good hard honest look in the mirror of our mind in hopes of identifying the warning signs and ultimately preventing mental disease from overtaking us. Here are the four questions we’re going to be considering today:

💪🏾 PodPump#1 - Would you want to know if your partner was cheating on you, and what impact would it have on your relationship? Now replace your partner with yourself and your relationship with your mental health. Are you pretending that everything is ok by lying to yourself about the facts of your life and who you are as a man? (6:22)

💪🏾 PodPump#2 - Have you ever considered the relationship between your pant size and how your body looks, feels, and performs to your ability to manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and that your body is very much a reflection of your mind? (14:15)

💪🏾 PodPump#3 - Are top performers truly happy or do they simply use work as a means through which they can avoid dealing with deep-rooted anxiety that will eventually cause them to break down? (22:37)

💪🏾 PodPump#4 - How effective is the strategy of ‘This, too, shall pass’ when it comes to our negative emotions and are there unintended negative consequences of using laughter or sarcasm to mask our real feelings? (28:27)
