Episode #385

Why do men sometimes end up being chumps? How does it happen? And how can you increase your "market value" to keep this from happening to you?

For men to get what they want, they have to do some stuff. Women do this all the time. You start doing things in the house and then you get what you want in return.

When she realizes that she can tantalize you with that, what happens - slowly, at first - is that you're becoming a chump. You will fall from the game. Like a mouse in a maze trying to chase cheese.

This happens to a lot of guys.

Set clear boundaries and talk about them. Figure out what you want to be, and be firm about who you are. Doing things from that perspective, and clarifying what you will tolerate in your standards, changes the game.

In this episode, we are going to talk about how not to become a chump, the reasons why a lot of men end up being a chump, releasing the breaks, and ways to fuel yourself and increase your market value.

Episode #383

What happens when you take the brakes off your life?

Where in your life are you still holding back?

No matter what level you're playing at, the idea of Releasing the Brake always resonates. It can be tricky to know whether it's something that you just don't want to do...or if you're holding back.

The excuses in the stories that we tell ourselves are part of the brake. All too often we have our emergency brake on - and that leads to us living a life that's defined by dragging and grinding.

When you release the brakes in one area of your life, that same release begins to happen in other areas as well.

Take a quick inventory in all Five Territories, think about what you can do about it, and take an action.

In this episode, we are going to talk about the idea of releasing the brakes, what can you do to achieve that release, where you're holding back, and what can it do for you when you finally take the brakes off.

Episode #382

What would you say an average guy is going through?

Do they feel stuck? Are they trapped in a cycle, playing out generational patterns and unable to break free?

A lot of men get home and they don't get much affection from their wives. They experience this "roommate" syndrome - living with their spouse without the romantic love vibe that they had at the beginning of their marriage.

This is agonizing for them. In their head, they start to question themselves. Those thoughts are what lead to them neglecting themselves and self-sabotaging even more. This cycle continues until the foundation of their marriage begins to crumble beneath them.

How can you break the cycle?

Figure out what your best assets are and invest in them. Invest time and energy to better yourself. If you neglect that, your house will have the kind of shaky foundation that no amount of counseling can repair.

In this episode, we're talking about what the average guy is going through right now, why they feel stuck, and why they end up self-sabotaging. We'll also discuss the importance of breaking generational patterns for yourself and your kids, top fears guys have, and how to make your spouse desire you again.
