How much transparency is healthy in a marriage? Should couples share bank accounts, passwords, locations, and social media access? And is having a best friend of the opposite sex ever a good idea?

In this fun episode of The Standard, Preston Woody sits down with his wife, Dakota, and Zach Rippey for a game of Red Flag or Green Flag—covering joint finances, public correction, location tracking, Snapchat, opposite-sex friendships, phone access, apologies, punctuality, and plenty more.

Along the way, Preston and Dakota share honest stories from their marriage, reveal where they agree and disagree, and unpack what healthy communication, trust, respect, transparency, and grace look like in real life.

This conversation is funny, honest, occasionally uncomfortable, and packed with practical insight for anyone who wants to strengthen their marriage and stop expecting their spouse to think, communicate, and operate exactly like they do.

You are not broken. You may simply be showing up in the wrong state.

In this episode of The Standard, Preston Woody explains why better strategies, more motivation, and another self-help video will not fix the deeper issue if your internal state remains the same.

Using the story of a lawnmower that would not start because it had not been primed, Preston reveals how many high performers mistakenly believe something is wrong with them when they are actually operating from a weak, passive, or disconnected state.

You’ll learn the four human states—weak, passive, present, and peak—and how each one affects your relationships, leadership, productivity, creativity, faith, and ability to enjoy your life.

Preston also breaks down how your language, physiology, and focus can help you shift your state, become more present, develop self-control, and consistently show up as the person you were created to be.

Preston Woody had the title, the platform, and the ministry career he had dreamed about since childhood—but beneath the surface, he was battling depression, anxiety, internal conflict, and the realization that something had to change.

In the first episode of The Standard, Preston shares why he walked away from pastoral ministry, how that decision affected his identity and family, and how a three-day trip into the woods helped lead him into a new calling: building the lives of men.

Preston and Zach Rippey also unpack the difference between confidence and courage, why most men do not have a discipline problem but a clarity problem, and how the standards you accept shape the life you eventually live.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, out of alignment, afraid to make a necessary change, or unsure of what comes next.
