Untamed

Are you exhausted from making thousands of meaningless decisions every day while struggling when it really matters? You know the feeling - choosing what to watch on Netflix comes easy, but when faced with life-changing choices that could alter your family's future, you freeze up or make decisions you later regret.What if there was a simple two-word framework that could transform how you approach every meaningful decision in your life? In this episode of Untamed, Joel and Mark reveal the game-changing power of personal core values - not the corporate buzzwords you're tired of hearing about, but the deep, soul-level compass that successful men use to navigate life's biggest moments.You'll discover why most men unconsciously drift toward values that ultimately leave them empty (like chasing wealth or status), and learn a practical process for identifying the values that will actually create the legacy you want to leave behind. Plus, they share real examples of how to integrate these values into your calendar, conversations with your kids, and daily decisions.This isn't about perfect execution - it's about having clarity when clarity matters most. Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or simply trying to become the man you know you're meant to be, this episode will give you the internal compass you've been missing.The cemetery exercise alone is worth the listen. Your future self will thank you for pressing play.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🎙️ "Vacation Expectations Will Wreck You (Unless You Do This)"

📖 Episode Description:
You ever show up to vacation thinking it’s gonna be beach naps, tacos, and spontaneous romance… and somehow end up arguing in a minivan about sunscreen and dinner plans? Yeah, us too.

We show up singing the Spice Girls in our heads: “Tell me what you want, what you really, really want…” — and silently expect our wife, kids, or friends to just get us. But most of the time, no one’s on the same page.

In this episode, Marc and Joel unpack the hidden expectations that sabotage our vacations and how to turn those missed moments into real connection, rest, and fun.

You’ll walk away with 3 practical steps to plan a more meaningful trip — one that brings life to you, your wife, your family, and your friendships. From food and fun to rest and rhythm, this one will help you be more intentional without becoming that guy who over-plans everything.

It’s not about control — it’s about clarity.

You’ll learn:
✔️ How to identify what you, your family, and your spouse actually enjoy
✔️ The simple pre-trip convo that changes everything
✔️ How to follow through without killing the vibe

Let’s stop wasting vacations. Let’s make them count.

We conquer the mountain, plant the flag... and still feel nothing. In this episode, we unpack why men feel unfulfilled at the top—and how to redefine success across five key life spheres to finally live with purpose and joy.

Why are we talking about this? Because too many men climb to the top of mountains they were told to conquer, plant their flag… and still feel empty.

You’re not alone.
We’ve been taught success is the top of the mountain—money, titles, status—but real happiness isn’t found at the top. It’s formed inside of us. It’s found in how we serve, love, and live for something bigger than ourselves.

In this episode, we explore:

• Joel’s story of his grandfather’s legacy and the success lie he had to confront

• Jeremy’s insight from working with thousands of men: the biggest internal battle men face today

• Why we throw ourselves into work when it’s winning, and run from home when it’s not

• The 5 Spheres of Real Success that lead to fulfillment: Career, Spiritual, Physical, Emotional/Mental, and Relational

• Why you can have both happiness and success—in your career and your life

• A FREE 2-Day Sample of our 21-Day Personalized Success Blueprint to help you slow down, gain clarity, and build a life worth living

A high-performing executive can tell you his quarterly numbers down to the decimal.
But ask him, “Are you a good husband?” and he pauses… “I don’t feel like I am.”

We measure success in business with spreadsheets — but in life, we rely on vague feelings.
That ends today.

This episode will challenge how you define and track progress — and help you apply real metrics to what matters most: your faith, family, fitness, mindset, and mission.

If you're ready to move from uncertain to unstoppable in the areas that matter most — this conversation is for you.

Men’s 4 Core Emotions: Is that it?

Happy, hungry, horny…angry. Do these four emotions make up the entire emotional spectrum of the majority of male’s experience?

Accepting this limitation could be secretly sabotaging every relationship you care about.

In this eye-opening conversation, Joel and Marc dive into why most men are emotionally constipated and how it's costing them in numerous areas of their life. While you're cycling through the same four feelings, the women in your life are operating with an emotional vocabulary that might as well be a foreign language.

Here's what you need to understand:

    •    Why your emotional range might be destroying your marriage without you realizing it

    •    How being emotionally limited is limiting your success.

    •    How your daughters are already more emotionally intelligent than you (and what that means for your relationship with them)

    •    The real reason you feel like a stranger at your own dinner table

This isn't about becoming more sensitive. It's about understanding why your limited emotional range is holding you back from greater success at home and career.

If you've ever felt emotionally outmatched by your wife, or people at the office who seem to understand a language you don’t, it’s time to get unstuck and educate yourself on your broad emotional range.
