In this episode, Dr. Bob Beare, PhD — licensed therapist, recovery leader, and founder of Deep Waters Recovery — returns to unpack what reparenting really means, and why so many high-performing men avoid the one thing that could finally bring peace.

Over the past 9 years, we’ve sat down with hundreds of men—entrepreneurs, leaders, husbands, and fathers—to talk about what really matters.

And after 500 raw, unfiltered conversations, one truth keeps rising to the top:

Success means nothing if it costs you your family.

In this special 500th episode, I sat down with two of the men who’ve been there since day one—Hal Elrod (The Mir...

“I’m a great dad… so why am I still losing it with my son?”

In this powerful conversation, we unpack a question every high-performing man quietly wrestles with:
Why do we keep repeating patterns we know aren’t serving us — as husbands, fathers, or leaders?

What if the key to becoming a better man… was understanding women?

In this powerful conversation, grief and transformation expert Joshua Wenner shares what years of men’s work couldn’t teach him — and what he only discovered after stepping into a space he never expected to lead: women’s healing.

Joshua spent a decade helping men process grief, reclaim their power, and reconnect with purpose. B...

Most men don’t realize they’re grieving.

They just know they feel stuck… disconnected… angry… numb… exhausted. They’re overworking, avoiding, blowing up—or shutting down. But underneath the addiction, the burnout, the conflict… is unprocessed grief.

In this raw and powerful conversation, grief expert Joshua Wenner unpacks the hidden losses that men carry—losses from childhood, unmet expectatio...

This might be the best business interview I’ve done all year.
It’s one every business owner should hear.

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Deiss—entrepreneur, investor, and founder of DigitalMarketer—who’s launched, scaled, and sold 17+ companies.

He’s not speaking from theory. He’s speaking from experience—and sometimes, scar tissue.

You can build the house, pay the bills, protect and provide—but if your wife doesn’t feel seen, and your kids don’t feel known, what are you really building?

In this episode, Ryan Deiss opens up about the moment his marriage hit a wall… and the quiet heartbreak of realizing he had drifted from the people he loved most.

It wasn’t burnout. It wasn’t failure.
It was success without alignment—and ...

You’ve built momentum before. You’ve held it all—business, family, vision. And you’ve probably felt that moment when the weight of it all starts pressing back.

For Jenna and Brad Ballard, that moment wasn’t collapse. It was clarity—the kind that only comes when life demands something deeper than drive.

As founders of ALA—Ascension Leadership Academy, they were guiding others through profound t...

Different childhoods. Different wounds. One shared commitment: to raise boys who feel seen, safe, and strong.

Some of us were raised on discipline. Others in silence. Some were praised only when we performed—others not at all.


But no matter what we inherited, we all face the same question when we become fathers:
Will I repeat what I came from, or will I build something new?

You lead with intention in business, in life, and—most importantly—at home.

But let’s be honest: Mother’s Day can sneak up on you.
