Most men stay stuck because they keep negotiating with weakness, comfort, and excuses. You already know who you’re supposed to be, but you keep selling yourself out for a cheap, watered-down version of that man.

In this episode, I strip it all down and call it like it is. I talk about my own story in the fire department, how I was living out of alignment, and why choosing comfort almost destroyed me. This is about your soul, your standards, and the man staring back at you in the mirror.

If you’re living in the gray area, if you’re lying to yourself about your “dad bod,” your habits, or your leadership at home, this is the punch in the face you need.

🔥 What we hit in this episode:

  • Why compromise eats away at your soul

  • The lie men tell themselves about giving everything to their family first

  • The truth about “dad bods” and fake acceptance

  • Why humility is dangerous when it keeps you small

  • How to stop negotiating with weakness and step into the man God called you to be

If this triggered you, good. It means you needed to hear it.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
