Episode #1034

In this throwback episode, we’re revisiting a core conversation that’s just as relevant now as when it first aired. If you’ve ever felt like you're doing all the right things but your wife still pulls away, this one’s for you.

Doug breaks down what really happens when men fall into the trap of chasing their wife. Whether it’s constant texts, over-checking in, or trying too hard to fix the relationship, that energy often creates more distance instead of connection.

You’ll hear why chasing is a form of needy energy, how it kills polarity, and what to do instead. Doug walks through simple shifts that help men lead from a grounded place instead of needing approval. He also explains the triad of connection and why your wife’s reaction is not the measure of your success.

This revisit is a reminder that your power comes from within. When you stop chasing and start leading, everything changes.

Episode #1033

Most men want to be better at communicating with their wife but don’t always know how. Especially when it comes to listening without turning it into a checklist or interrogation. In this episode, Doug and Chris break down what it looks like to build real connection through everyday conversations — even when things feel distant or tense.

They talk about the “collecting berries” concept and how it helps men understand the way women process emotions and daily life. You’ll learn why your curiosity matters more than your words, how to ask better questions, and what to do when your wife doesn’t open up right away.

This isn’t about scripts or techniques. It’s about showing up with genuine presence, creating safety, and knowing when to lean in and when to back off. Doug also shares how simple questions, small moments, and being consistent can rebuild trust and intimacy over time.

They also dive into why so many men feel isolated, how to build real friendships as a husband and father, and the role community plays in helping you stay on track as a leader at home.

You’ll hear how both men wrestled with their own questions around passion, family, and fulfillment and how small mindset shifts helped them see what they were missing. It’s a reminder that you don’t need to blow everything up to build a life that feels meaningful. Sometimes, it’s about reconnecting to what actually matters to you and getting honest about what’s in the way.

Episode #1030

In this episode, Doug sits down with two longtime TPM members at the end of an unforgettable event at the TPM Ranch. They unpack something a lot of high-performing men wrestle with what self-love really means, how we unknowingly block it, and why most guys don’t realize they’re missing real male connection until they finally experience it.

They talk about the weight of leadership, why so many men feel alone at the top, and how being part of a strong, honest brotherhood changes everything. You’ll hear firsthand how these men broke through years of internal resistance through laughter, hard conversations, and yes, even tears and finally gave themselves permission to slow down, reconnect, and show up better for everyone around them.

Episode #1027

In this episode, we sit down with two TPM men to talk about what it really looks like to start a new relationship after doing the work on yourself. We unpack what changes when you show up with clarity, confidence, and your own life already in alignment.

They share honest stories about how their relationships shifted—not because they followed some script or played games, but because they focused on being real, doing their inner work, and raising their own standards.

Whether you're newly single, dating again after a divorce, or trying to figure out what a healthy relationship even looks like, this one will help you get grounded. We talk about red flags, energy, attraction, long-distance dynamics, and how being present (with your partner, your kids, and yourself) changes everything.

This isn’t about chasing “the one.” It’s about becoming someone who doesn’t need a relationship to feel whole—but is open to one that adds to the life you've already built.

Episode #1026

Most guys stick to surface-level friendships, talking sports, work, or the usual weekend plans. But deep down, there’s a part of you that’s craving more. Real connection, honest conversation, and support from other men who actually get it.

In this episode, we’re recording from the TPM Ranch during the Legends Event with men who’ve done the inner work and keep showing up for each other. We talk about what it’s actually like to build friendships where you can drop the act, say what’s really going on, and not get judged for it. The guys share how these bonds didn’t just happen. They were built, rep by rep, by showing up even when it felt uncomfortable.

If you've ever thought, “I don’t have any men in my life I can talk to like this,” this one’s for you. We talk about what to do when you feel isolated, how to start small, and why just taking one small risk to connect could change everything.
