Ever feel like you're crushing it in one area of life, but drowning in another?

In this eye-opening episode, Joel Fritz (The Calling Coach) and Marc Lucas (The Authentic Impact Coach) expose the invisible force that's pulling successful men away from what actually matters—without them even knowing it.

Through a gripping personal story from the crystal-clear waters of Hawaii's Kona coast, Joel reveals a profound metaphor that will forever change how you view your daily grind. You'll discover why that nagging emptiness you feel isn't about needing MORE success—it's about something far more dangerous happening beneath the surface.

Marc and Joel dive deep into:

- The shocking parallel between ocean currents and the forces shaping your life

- Why your business metrics might be lying to you about what really counts

- The three killer questions that reveal if you're drifting in your marriage

- How a tragic story about a beloved TV star exposes the ultimate cost of ignoring this truth

- The specific "fixed reference points" that separate men who thrive from those who merely survive

If you've ever wondered why success feels hollow, why time seems to slip away, or why you're further from your dreams than when you started—this episode holds the answer.

Warning: Once you understand "the drift," you can't unsee it. But that might be exactly what saves your legacy.

**Listen now before another day pulls you further from shore.**

*For men ready to resist the drift and reclaim their destiny. Part of the Untamed journey.*
