Episode #333 Are you in a situation right now where you're trying to solve something and you just can't seem to figure it out and move forward? Maybe you're trying too hard to solve it based on your past experiences...and nothing's working. Maybe it's time to try something else. A different perspective...another way... Do something different to allow you to get to the other side. Do something different to shake things up. Because you can't bring back lost times. The more you try your old ways of solving a problem, the more time it takes from your present - which you could be spending on so many more important things. What got you here won't get you there. In this episode, we will learn from the experiences of Franco Burrows. Learn how he overcame a sickness that turns out to be a not-so-serious one. And learn how this situation helped him to better himself, his relationship, and other aspects of his life. __________ Hungry for more?

Episode #332 What does effective leadership look like? A successful leader is more of an adviser, a mentor, and a coach. It allows you to lead on a higher level. The most common mistake people make when leading teams is trying to "lead-by-consensus". Maybe it's fear, or a genuine desire to do right by those you lead. But leadership-by-consensus most often produces a team that is stagnant, unmotivated, and entirely lacking any clarity. Take that leadership role. Take charge as a leader - not as a dictator, but more as a guide. In this episode, we are going to talk about how to lead effectively, common problems that arise in leading teams, and the steps we can take to allow us to be successful and effective leaders. __________ Hungry for more?

Episode #331 Most women who're at home taking care of the house are bored with no sense of purpose. Not fulfilling her potential and not being able to go after her dreams feels horrible, miserable, and is completely unfulfilling. When she finds a purpose or something that she enjoys, just listen. You may know more, but resist the temptation to help her unless she asks you first. Sit back and let her discover things in her own way. If things are not as good at home - arguments, distance, conflict - it may be because she isn't doing what she wants to be doing. Maybe she doesn't even know what she wants. When women give up on who they wanted to be and were never been able to find it again, they will become unhappy. In this episode, we are going to talk about how to know if your wife is feeling unfulfilled, how to learn what she really wants, and what you can do to help. __________ Hungry for more?

Episode #330 How would you recommend "putting your foot down" in a calm way? And what is Nice Guy Syndrome? The psychology of slot machines is that, even if you don't win something, you'll still have the hope and expectation that you're just a little bit closer. It keeps you coming back - hoping, expecting - and this is how addiction gets formed in gambling. It's the rush of possibility. Most guys at some point fall into the Nice Guy Syndrome. Constantly doing nice things, doing things for her, waiting for the dopamine hit, expecting and hoping for sex. Then, when they get their needs met and they get the attention and affection that they want, they turn their husband into a friend. Recognize the state that you are in and get activated. Learn who you are, what you deserve, and how to stand in your power effectively. Get what you want without being a dick, but being a natural, powerful man. In this episode, we are going to talk about the Nice Guy Syndrome, playing good cards and bad cards, how to "put your foot down", get reactivated, and how to turn from being just a Nice Guy to a Powerful Man. __________ Hungry for more?

Episode #327 Many people struggle with "shiny object syndrome" and a belief that they can be great at everything. We usually want it all, and we think that we can do more than what we're actually capable of. We give up on mastery for a perception of "being okay" at a bunch of things...a "jack-of-all-trades". Write down your top 25 goals from the five territories and then circle the 5 most important goals for you. Focus on those 5 things. The other 20 goals go on a separate list. These are the absolute do not do, do not touch goals. Do not spend any time in that zone. Once you have these five primary goals, go all-in with dedicated focus. You can replace only the goals that you finish. Achieve your top goals first before moving onto your next goal. Focus on one thing at a time. In this episode, we are going to talk about Warren Buffet's secret, The 25-5 Rule, the do-not-do list vs. the do-list, and how to focus on achieving your goals.

Episode #326 What are you hiding from your wife? Is it something you're ashamed of? Shame is the biggest issue. You are hiding from your wife because you feel shameful about the behavior, and that can lead to a lot of problems. It will show up in your marriage, your work, and how you perform in every part of your life. There are things that you don't want her to find out because you are worried about the reaction she's gonna give you. It happens to a lot of guys...but be open. It's part of the relationship. The reason we don't share is that we are judging ourselves. We are so reliant on our spouse for filling us up. We focus on our needs getting met by them. Before you realize what's happening, you've become a needy man...and that is not a good place to be. Nobody wants to be there. It doesn't feel good to carry around a lie. It feels heavy. It's truly easier to reach out to your wife rather than lying and hiding from her. Just come clean. It can be scary at first but it will feel great. You will feel so much better after. In this episode, we are going to talk about the things you are hiding from your wife, the reasons why you are hiding something, and the steps you can take to come clean with your wife. __________ Hungry for more?

Episode #325 You don't become a successful business leader without you and your wife being considered as a "power couple". But is there really power in your relationship? Do you feel like a powerful couple? If you have problems in your marriage that you can't figure out, you'll feel embarrassed and ashamed that you are not what people think you are. You can't talk to anyone about it because everyone puts you up on a pedestal...everyone knows who you are. Everyone sees you as a power couple, with respect and admiration. But you know the truth. In a relationship, if you know what you can be and it's not what you are - that's what eats you up inside. Invest and work on yourself first. As you change, your wife will change with you. You can become a power couple from the inside-out. It doesn't have to look perfect, but it will be real. In this episode, we are going to talk about the curse of the power couple, how to deal with it, and what it means to be a true power couple. __________ Hungry for more?

Episode #324 Would you say you're a great husband? What qualities of yours would you like to remove or replace? What qualities would you add to make your life and your relationship a little bit better? For example, a great husband is not a drunk, or abusive. Look within your character and idealize what being a great husband looks like for you. Look at the qualities and attributes that you want to accentuate within yourself...qualities that you want to magnify and amplify. You cannot recognize the qualities of an ideal husband within other people unless they are within you. There are attributes of an ideal husband inside of you but there are some things that are holding you back from becoming one. In this episode, we are going to talk about the attributes of an ideal husband, the process of becoming one, and how to be an ideal husband without thinking about what other people might say about you.
