Stop Being Weak | Start Being a Man

Tired of feeling successful on paper and soft in real life? We’re taking aim at the quiet habits that erode drive—snacking, sugar, late-night comfort—and replacing them with standards that build real strength. Sean shares the hard-won lessons from coaching thousands of high-performing men who crushed business goals but paid for it with stress, weight gain, and distance at home. The message is direct: if you want to lead at work and in your family, you must first lead your appetite, your time, and your mind.

We dig into why constant grazing drains focus, how processed snacks hijack your hunger, and why short, intentional fasts restore clarity and self-control. Expect practical guidance on protein-first eating, simple whole-food meals, and the surprising benefits of removing dessert to rebuild willpower. Sean opens up about his own turnaround—from addiction and distraction to sobriety, structure, and a family-centered life—and the identity shift that made those choices stick. This isn’t a diet pep talk; it’s a framework for becoming the man people count on.

You’ll walk away with a playbook to cut vices that slow you down, swap convenience for clean fuel, and turn discipline into momentum you can feel at home and at work. If you’ve ever felt ruled by cravings, “hangry” moods, or the comfort cycle that steals your evenings, this conversation gives you the tools—and the push—to take command. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a standard, and leave a review telling us the one habit you’re dropping this week.

(00:23):

There comes a time when we go,you know what?
I want to be better.
I need to be better.
What are these decisions I'mgonna make?
What am I gonna sacrifice?
What am I gonna commit to?
Welcome back to another episodeof the Unstoppable Mindset
Podcast.

(00:43):
I'm your host, Sean Crane.
Check it out, you guys.
Today I got a really simplemessage for you.
Actually, this stems fromsomething my client asked me the
other day on a coaching call.
If you don't know, I own thecompany Unstoppable365.
We do health, fitness, mindset,nutrition, and performance
coaching for blue-collarbusiness owners all throughout
the country.
I've worked with thousands ofmen to this point, men who are

(01:06):
crushing it in business.
Seven, eight, nine, even10-figure business owners.
But oftentimes, building yourcompany, building your business
comes at a cost.
And most of these guys don'ttake care of their health.
They don't eat right, they drinktoo much, they have a lot of
stress, they're not present athome with their wife and kids.
And so what's all the money forif you sacrifice everything to

(01:26):
get there, right?
That's what they start figuringout on the journey.
That's why they come toUnstoppable 365.
Myself and my partner, Dr.
J, we change their lives.
We do blood work,supplementation, help change
their mindset, their habits sothat they can be fit, healthy,
they eat the right food, theyhave energy, and they're present
at home with their loved ones.

(01:46):
So they create a life by designthat they absolutely love, not
one that they're gonna regretone day.
That's my mission.
My mission is to create realleaders and real men on this
planet because we live in softtimes where men are becoming
weaker by the day.
And the other day, I was on acoaching call with one of my
clients, and he goes, Hey, I'mhaving trouble figuring out like
what to snack on.

(02:06):
Like, what should I snack on,man?
You're telling me I can't eatchips, I shouldn't drink soda,
obviously I shouldn't eat candybecause that's just bad for me
and I want to lose weight.
What should I snack on, Sean?
And this was my response to him.
I said, the only people whosnack in life are fat fucks and
kids.
And then I just stared at them.
And I said it that wayintentionally.

(02:28):
Because here's what you have torecognize snacking is literally
what fat people do and whatchildren do.
Like kids like to snack.
They're kids, they still can getaway with eating certain stuff,
although we should be teachingthem the right eating habits
from the very beginning.
Whole foods, healthy food, 90%healthy and organic, 10% they
get to snack on, right?

(02:48):
Candy, ice cream, be a kid.
I get it.
But for you grown men who wantto be leaders and examples,
snacking is not in the equation.
It's just not.
Snack, like what?
You need some freaking pretzelswhile you're driving to go to
work?
Like you need something to holdyou over between meals.
Dude, that's just mentalweakness.
It's a weakness inside you whereyou always feel like you need to

(03:10):
be eating something, doingsomething.
Do you know that people nowadayseat way more than humans ever
have in our existence?
You know, you think you needthree meals every day.
Our ancestors were lucky to getthree meals a week.
They were fasting.
They had clarity, they hadenergy, they had drive, their
metabolism, their hormones.

(03:31):
They were running like freakingmachines because they were
operating the way they wereintended to.
You know, you'd be better offfasting than snacking.
And if you're fat and overweightand you have body fat, you
should implement fastingmultiple times per week and you
should minimize what you eat.
And then when you do eat, itshould just be protein from
animal products, eggs, somecheese, a little bit of milk, a

(03:53):
little bit of non-fat Greekyogurt, steak, chicken, fish.
Like you shouldn't be snacking.
Foods that you snack on, they'rehighly addictive.
They're the calories are crap,they're processed, and they're
damaging your gut health.
So that was my message to myclient.
Here's the thing, you guys.
If you want different results inlife, you gotta become
different.

(04:13):
Okay.
My old self, rewind 15 yearsago.
That guy used to drink, takepills, smoke weed.
That guy would sleep in half theday and stay up all night.
I would chase women, right?
Like I wasn't doing good in mylife.
I would eat whatever I wanted,right?
I'd eat ice cream, I'd eatfreaking donuts, pizza.
I was still skinny because Iwouldn't really eat that much,

(04:34):
but I didn't have focus onbecoming my best self.
I didn't have the right habitsin place.
So I was a much lesser versionof myself.
Like I said, I was addicted todrugs and alcohol, addicted to
pleasure.
I'd eat whatever I wanted.
When I made a decision tochange, I said that I'm going to
be sober the rest of my life.
Because the man that I want tobe, the life that I want to
create, requires me to commit tothat path.

(04:54):
Okay.
That was the first decision Imade.
Then when I got out of prisonand started rebuilding my life,
and I got married to Jessica, westarted having kids, I came to
the conclusion that I didn'tneed to eat dessert anymore
because sweets was not part ofmy equation.
Okay.
Craving donuts and giving intothat temptation just weakened
me.
Thinking about ice cream afterdinner, even though I know it

(05:17):
doesn't really serve me, butthen giving in to that
temptation would just weaken myresolve, right?
I want willpower.
I want self-control.
Where I'm going in this life, Ineed everything that I can
muster up to get there.
You know what I mean?
All the willpower, all thedrive, all the self-control.
I can't afford to sit here andslow my progress by making one
step forward, two steps backover and over.

(05:39):
And people do this all day longand they don't realize the
significance of their foodchoices.
The food that you put in yourbody not only affects you
physiologically and doesn't justaffect you internally, it
affects your mental state aswell.
If you're somebody that can'tsay no to cravings, and you're
somebody that constantly needsto be eating food, and you're

(05:59):
somebody that doesn't havecontrol over every little thing
that you do and every decisionyou make, you are a weaker
version of yourself.
And that weakness is going tocarry over to other parts of
your life.
So three years ago, I said I'mnever eating dessert again.
And I haven't ever since, and Inever will.
Big deal.
I had enough dessert as a kid tolast me a lifetime.
So have you.
The choice to eat dessert fromthis moment forward is a choice,

(06:21):
but for a lot of you, it's justbecause you don't have
self-control.
You couldn't quit eatingdessert.
You couldn't do it.
I want to see if you can quiteating dessert for a year if you
think you can.
Comment below, tell me thatyou're gonna do it.
Call your shot.
Another thing is, could you evenfast for 24 hours?
Could you go 24 hours withouteating?
Are you one of those people thatget so hangry you need to eat
because you don't have controlof your emotions?
Like you're gonna be rude toyour kids and mean to other

(06:43):
people around you because youhaven't eaten.
Your ancestors didn't eat forweeks.
And then they'd get one big mealand then they'd go another
couple days without eating.
Do you think they had time to beupset about that?
No, they didn't.
They focused on what they had todo to get by and they got
through and they survived.
You know, so the whole moral ofthe story, you guys, we need
strong men in society, not weakmen.

(07:04):
If you're a man that needs tosnack, dude, you're the you're
the guy that when the warhappened, right?
Like back in the day when thetribes would be fighting and
there was these like tribalwarfare and stuff, you were the
man that they left at home withthe white the women and the
kids, right?
Like to still move stuff aroundand lift something heavy.
You're big for nothing, right?
Like, dude, I want warriors onmy on my side.

(07:26):
I want men that are gonna go outthere and fight by my side and
be real men, okay?
And be examples for kids andtake care of their families and
not be these soft, weak fatfucks out there.
Okay.
If you're a man and you need asnack, you're fat.
Get in shape, be an example.
You don't have the luxury ofmaking these poor decisions
anymore.
There comes a time when all ourin all our lives when we go, you

(07:48):
know what?
I want to be better.
I need to be better.
What are these decisions I'mgonna make?
What am I gonna sacrifice?
What am I gonna commit to?
Oh, you still need alcohol tounwind?
You need a snack on your drive?
Oh what?
You need Netflix at night?
Oh, you just need time toyourself.
Dude, stop being weak.
Men are built to be strong.
We're built, you know what?
When you sacrifice, when youcommit, when you find a purpose,

(08:10):
it's such an intoxicatingfeeling.
You'll never want to go back tothat lesser version of yourself.
You'll never want to go back tothat pleasure-seeking behavior.
You'll never want to go back tothose vices.
When you find a path throughdiscipline, through commitment,
through focus, it becomeseverything that you've ever
wanted to be, and you're nevergonna quit.
So that's my message for youguys.
You're better than that.
Stop letting these crutches,this pleasure seeking behavior,

(08:32):
cripple your potential.
