You’ve probably said it: “I’m doing the best I can.”

It feels true. It sounds noble.

But what if that phrase is quietly keeping you from the life and relationships you actually want?

In this episode, Lucas and I unpack the deeper truth behind this common statement, and why it so often keeps good men stuck in patterns of avoidance, stagnation, and quiet frustration.

We’ll explore:

• How “doing your best” can become a protective shield from discomfort
• The difference between effort and ownership
• Why real respect from your wife, your kids, and yourself, requires more than good intentions
• And how to step into the kind of self-leadership that actually produces change

This conversation is about breaking free from the mindset that keeps men small, and stepping into the uncomfortable, powerful work of growth.
