Episode #1049

If you're the kind of guy who puts everyone else first and leaves yourself last, this episode will hit home. Doug and Chris unpack why self care isn't optional if you want to lead well at home, in business, and in life. This isn’t about pampering yourself. It’s about learning how to consistently show up as the grounded, confident man your family needs.

They walk through how putting yourself last often leads to burnout, resentment, and a quiet victim mindset. You think you’re doing the right thing by pushing through and putting others first, but over time it starts to wear you down. And your wife, your kids, your team—they feel it too.

You’ll hear personal stories and examples of what real self care looks like for high performing men. From simple shifts like lifting weights or taking time to reset, to understanding how your wife views your self investment as a signal of leadership. This is about setting a new standard and leading by example.

If you're tired of running on empty or just know you're capable of showing up better, this is your call to take action.

Episode #1048

If it feels like you and your wife have drifted apart, like you’re just going through the motions or living as roommates, this episode is for you. Doug and Chris unpack one of the most common issues men bring up: how to bring back the spark and get the intimacy flowing again in your marriage.

Most guys think the problem is sex. But the real issue usually starts way before the bedroom. Emotional safety is what creates the space for connection, attraction, and fun to come back. Without it, you're stuck in a loop of frustration and distance.

In this conversation, you’ll get a clear look at what’s actually going on and what to do about it. Doug shares practical tools that help you shift the dynamic fast, like the Hidden Motives Technique and how to make intimacy something your wife actually wants to initiate. He also walks through how to create an environment where both of you can open up, have more fun, and rebuild that spark without needing long, uncomfortable conversations.

This isn't about games or being someone you’re not. It’s about stepping into the role of a grounded, confident man who leads with clarity and strength. That’s when everything changes.
