Episode 172 – Lead With Purpose: Building Legacy, Discipline, and Energy as a Man Over 40 with Greg Denning

Homeless at 16. Seven kids. 60+ countries. A life built with intention.

This one hit deep.

Greg Denning is a man on a mission. He’s a high-performance coach, a world-traveling husband and father, and the kind of leader every man over 40 needs to hear from.

Today, we’re talking about how to lead with purpose, build your legacy, and show up as the formidable family man your family needs.

Greg’s story is wild. Growing up in chaos, leaving home as a teenager, sharing a burrito with his buddy while sleeping on a floor, and now? He’s got a thriving marriage, adult kids he mentors, and a powerful presence rooted in discipline and values.

We’re going all in on the real issues men face. Feeling inadequate, carrying anger, struggling with direction, and thinking it’s too late to change.

Greg breaks down how to flip that story, how to stop playing the victim, and how to level up even if you feel overwhelmed, beaten down, or burned out.

He drops absolute gems on parenting, faith, fitness, legacy, and why being a man is about way more than paying bills and showing up to work.

This is one of those episodes that stays with you.

Let’s go.
