Beyond 7 Figures: Build, Scale, Profit The Marriage Connection Every Entrepreneur Is Missing feat. Larry Hagner
Marriage connection is the one thing most high-achieving founders are quietly getting wrong, and the cost is way bigger than they think. Look, I am going to get real with you in this episode because I believe the best way I can help you is by showing you that I am right there in the trenches with you. I have hit rock bottom. I mean real rock bottom, the kind where you are praying for a way out. And the one person who never stopped believing in me through all of it was my wife. If your business is growing but something at home just does not feel right, this conversation is exactly what you need to hear.
Larry Hagner is the founder of The Dad Edge, and I am telling you, this guy is the real deal. The Dad Edge is a globally recognized organization built to give men the tools, the skills, and the community they need to actually show up as the husband, the father, and the leader their family deserves. With nearly 1,500 podcast episodes, over 40 million downloads, and conversations with people like Matthew McConaughey, Jocko Willink, and Jon Bernthal, Larry has spent over a decade helping men turn their most important relationships around. He is also the bestselling author of The Dad Edge, The Spirit of Fatherhood, and his latest book The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood. Larry is based in St. Louis where he lives with his wife Jessica and their four sons.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Over 80% of couples go through a roommate season, and only 12% of marriages are genuinely thriving, the same success rate as Navy SEAL BUD/S training.
- A woman's three core needs are to feel seen, heard, and safe, and when those needs are met, everything else in the relationship shifts.
- A man's confidence is directly tied to whether he feels desired and wanted by his wife, and when that's missing, it quietly destroys how he shows up everywhere else.
- Stop "helping" at home because you're a partner and a parent, not a guest doing favors, and that mindset shift alone changes the entire dynamic.
- When couples argue, they're usually fighting for what they don't want anymore instead of clearly expressing what they actually need.
- Generative questions, which are open-ended and story-driven, are one of the most powerful tools for rebuilding emotional intimacy and real connection.
- The entrepreneurs with the most peace aren't just crushing it in business, they have a great marriage, a strong relationship with their kids, and all three pillars working together.
- Raising kids who genuinely want to come home and spend time with you is the long game that matters most, and it starts with the daily investments you make right now.
