Are you feeling stuck in a rut as you approach or pass your mid-30s? You're not alone. Many men find themselves trapped in habits that drain their energy, crush their confidence, and hold them back from the life they truly desire. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In this eye-opening episode, I reveal seven crucial habits you need to drop after 35 to truly thrive. Drawing from my own experiences and those of successful men I've coached, I'll show you how to break free from the misconceptions that have been holding you back.

The Myth of the Downhill Slide

I share a personal story about how I once believed life was all downhill after 35. But reality proved me wrong:

  • Setting personal records in the gym
  • Achieving new income levels
  • Starting and closing businesses
  • Embarking on adventures I hadn't even imagined

Seven Habits to Drop for a Better Life

Discover why you need to stop:

  • Wearing stress like a badge of honor
  • Saying yes to things you secretly hate
  • Trying to please everybody
  • Obsessing over what others think
  • Ignoring your health
  • Hanging out with toxic people
  • Playing small

But what truly sets this episode apart is the raw honesty about the emotional struggles men face after 35. I share insights like, "We men are thirsty to open up on a heart-centered level. We want to feel safe."

The Biggest Lie You've Been Told

Learn why believing "it's too late" is the most dangerous habit of all. I'll show you how:

  • Many great achievements happen long after people thought they were "done"
  • Your best chapters might still be ahead of you
  • Small changes can compound into colossal wins

Whether you're approaching 35, just passed it, or well into your 40s, this discussion will equip you with the mindset and tools to shed the weight that's been holding you back.

Are you ready to stop watching life pass you by and start taking control of your most precious resources - your time and energy?

Tune in and discover how to transform your life by dropping these seven habits – starting right now.
