Online Nutrition Coach Jonathan McLernon from the Between the Before and After Podcast joins us today.
I asked a Nutritionist so you don't have to or in the case that you don't know one. Nutrition is something men like to avoid discussing unless they are just big into the gym. Jonathan McLernon lost over 100lbs and has kept it off. Now he helps other people by using psychology of behavior change with the science of metabolism and the compassion of human connection, to create life-changing transformations.
Jonathan is the real deal, he understands the struggle and doesn't pretend to be perfect. He is a Fallible Man and wants to help you be health, happy and your best self. No lies, no fake promises, no B.S. Time to get healthy!

My Simple System for Building Self-Discipline (for normal people)!
Driven 2 Thrive: Purpose, Growth, and Lasting Impact For Men
11/04/22 • 10 min
On this Episode of The Fallible Man Podcast we are digging into what all the fuss is about, how discipline helps your life and more importantly how to actually build discipline. You can go to YouTube and find all kinds of bogus techniques on how to build discipline, but they rarely produce long term discipline.
IN this episode we will share a 9 step approach GUARANTEED to help you build discipline. Full disclosure, you won’t find any micro wave instant fixes here. If that is what your after move on down the road. This is not for people who want the easy way, because there is no easy way. If you are ready to put in the work then you have come to the right place.
Self-Discipline will make your life easier, better and more effective but it is not as simple as taking a cold shower every morning, there is a huge difference between self-discipline and being stubborn. If you’re a masochist or simple love being miserable go down the road, but for us normal people, enjoy the episode!

Since Lewis Carroll first penned the character of the White Rabbit in 1865 it has been loved as a bringer of imagination and exploration. Then it became a pop culture reference with it’s iconic use in The Matrix back in 1999 and we have already seen it teased in the trailer for the upcoming sequel “The Matrix Resurrections”
So why would I talk about following the white Rabbit? It’s time to go to wonderland because chances are you forgot how to get there just like Alice!

Change is difficult but it is the only constant in life, Eric has tried a lot of things and embraced change. He shares stories about training for an iron man and triathlons and we swap a few stories about those kind of events.

Chris Patrick: Amazing Opportunities Lie on The Other Side of Adversity
Driven 2 Thrive: Purpose, Growth, and Lasting Impact For Men
03/16/22 • 65 min
Fired, robbed, divorced, and with two businesses down the drain, Chris Patrick was stuck on a one-way street of screwups and failures.
The life he was leading wasn't what he wanted-but sometimes, not getting what you want is exactly what you need. Amazing Opportunities Lie on The Other Side of Adversity is the no nonsense way Chris approaches life.
I sat down with Entrepreneur and Author Chris Patrick to discuss his book "Disasters To Dreams: A Gritty Guide to Finding Success In The Face Of Failure" on The Fallible Man Podcast. The Book ask Are you ready to turn your personal sh*tstorm into the life of your dreams? Are you ready for personal growth?
Chris has made an incredible life for himself through hard work and perspective, even when all seemed lost. His book was written a lot like this conversation feels, like 2 guys drinking beers and discussing life.
HIs style of writing and conversation was something I could connect with and I think you will too! Are you ready to understand how to beat adversity? It's time to turn your disasters into dreams!

This Parenting Mistake Is Destroying Kids’ Success
Driven 2 Thrive: Purpose, Growth, and Lasting Impact For Men
11/25/22 • 12 min
Every parent wants their child to succeed. We don’t just want success; we want our kids to thrive! So why is it that so many parents make the same mistake over and over again instead of learning for parents with successful kids? I did a deep dive into parents with children thriving in the world and well into adulthood to see what they were being taught that all the rest of us weren’t.
I started with conversations I never had with my parents, who were great parents and moved from there. What was it that made some kids more successful than others and how come it seems to flow in certain families.
Bruce Lee has been credited with saying:
“don't give them everything you didn't have, teach them everything you didn't know”
I am not sure if he in fact said that, but the idea was brilliant. Now we focus on conversations and teachable moments with my daughters based on things that I didn’t learn until I was almost 40. Why don’t you join us and see what I am talking about.
