Is your self-discipline actually causing your self-destruction? Could the grind be hindering the growth in your life? Has toxic masculinity quietly corrupted our views on taking action, and even our views about ourselves as men?

These questions highlight much of our discussion today as we search for a way to "stay hard" on our habits while also finding a softness for ourselves. As I explain how I experienced this shift personally, I...

In this episode, I give an introduction to the mystical philosophy of Yoga. What I mistakenly believed to be just a fitness fad, has opened up into a world of wisdom.

Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means to unite, to join, to connect, or to yoke. Its teachings are centered around the mind-body-soul connection and its techniques are powerful. Look at yoga in this light, and you will discover balance within your whole being.
