🤔 EP018 - If you’ve hit a plateau with your physique and you’re not happy with the body you see staring back at you in the mirror, what’s the anchor you need to weigh so that you don’t stay stuck where you are permanently?
FACT - 30-40% of us men are not happy with the way we look, feel, and perform and a good 85% of us wish we had more muscle. And since our bodies - whether we like it or not - are a clear sign to the world of our level of masculinity, how trustworthy we are, and how much we care about ourselves and our families, what is it going to take for us to flip the switch on masculine health and fitness?
🎙️ In today's podcast, I’m going to talk about something super embarrassing when it comes to my body in hopes that the transformation I have been able to make - both in mind and body - inspires you to take a good, honest look as to whether or not you’re selling yourself short, holding yourself back, or both.

The #1 Business Blunder That Cost Me 8 Years of My Life
🤔 EP017 - What is the one critical factor of a successful business that comes before profit, revenue, sales, and even product development, and how can we make this one factor the focal point of not just our business but our purpose?
FACT - I’ve been in the podcast game for about 2.5 years and have yet to turn a profit through my podcast. Is it because my podcast sucks? Maybe, but I honestly don’t think so. Is it because I don’t have a solid revenue-generating system? That could be a piece of the puzzle for sure.
But there’s one thing that got me to quit my corporate job almost 8 years ago if I had only kept it top of mind the success of my business would be vastly different from what it is today.
🎙️ In today's podcast, we’re getting a much-needed wake-up call from the Modern Wisdom Podcast, EP813 w/ Joe Hudson - The Art of Mastering Your Emotions, where both Joe and Chris stumble upon the turning point that took Chris’ podcast from ‘just another podcast’ to one of the most listened to and respected podcasts in the world.

The Mistake That Costs Most Men Their Marriages and Their Livelihood
🤔 EP019 - MMU Question of the Day - If the quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships, how can you ensure you are not settling for so much less than you and the people you love deserve inside of those relationships
FACT - The #4 regret of the dying is, “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends”, and the #2 regret is, “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”
What do both of these things have in common? They dramatically impact the quality of our relationships and therefore the quality of our lives.
I cannot tell you how many stories I have heard (mine being one of them) of Brothers working so hard on their business while simultaneously neglecting and undervaluing their relationships with our partners, kids, and Brothers. Unfortunately, many of those stories have extremely unhappy endings.
🎙️ In today's podcast, I’m going to dive deep into how I was able to save the single most important relationship I have ever had, and the simple strategy I began using back in 2020 that has brought me closer to my Brothers than I have ever been in my life.
