Revisit: She Won't Leave
Episode #203 Women nowadays don't need a man to provide for them financially. They need someone who can provide for them emotionally, someone who is man enough for her to feel safe and secured. Someone who is present, who takes care of himself, and his health and knows how to step up. As a man, we become very confident that our wife will never leave us since we think that providing financially is enough to make them stay. We think that when we make more money, THAT is the time we will be able to enjoy life with our loved ones but we never feel like its enough, we always want to make more and as a result, we become slaves to our business. In this episode, we talk about how providing is more than just giving money, it is emotionally also. If you want to have deep intimacy in your relationship then you need to prioritize it and make your business serve your life, not the other way around. Women check out from the relationship because they feel that their partner left the relationship long before they do. Their husbands stopped becoming the man they married. The wife becomes a mother and the husband becomes a boy. To keep the relationship it is important to become the man you know you are capable of becoming. Improve yourself, learn how to switch off from work, and be present in the relationship. Spend quality time with your wife, have good communication and you will become closer to each other. ————- Hungry for more?

Revisit: Are You Paying Attention to the Warning Signs?
Episode #202 Most men have the belief that to provide for his family is to provide "financially". So as a result, he hustles and grinds every day to earn money but eventually loses himself in the process and doesn't have anything more to give when he gets home. He's physically there but emotionally absent. Women tend to notice immediately if their partner is not doing well in the relationship but men, most of the time, will only figure it out later. Men typically figure out there is an issue in the relationship AFTER he has already pushed his partner far away, has made many broken promises and the trust is gone. In this episode, we talk about how men should be proactive and pay attention to the warning signs so they can do something and make a change while it's not too late. Be aware of what's going on around you. If you are being tested by your partners and they are giving you the warning signs, be grateful because you now have the opportunity to make amends. Once you recognize the warning signs, take ownership of what you do as a man, and take massive action. If you ignore the warning signs, you will pay the price and will have an even tougher journey later on because you failed to make things right when you had the chance. ————- Hungry for more?

Revisit: Reignite Your Sex Life
Episode #194 Working with hundreds of men, we have found that many of them are struggling with their sex lives….but don't talk about it with anyone. How can you reignite the spark and really get your sex life back to where you want it to be? That's what we dive into in the episode… Many men have this secret problem to the point in their marriage where they use PORN instead of having sex with their wives or partner. It is really easy to go into that position because men are so used to working hard in their business or jobs, making decisions all day, to provide for their families. So many people demanding so much of you that by the time you come home, you're so exhausted. Hence, you don't have the energy to connect with your wife. In the same manner, your wife may also feel the same since she's so exhausted from working around the house, taking care of your children, doing the chores, etc. It's really a tough situation to be in. When things go unsaid and things get avoided, it can easily create a void in your relationship and get out of sync, sexually. And before you know it, you easily turn to porn because that's the easier option instead of you giving the effort to seduce your wife and make love with her. There are three things you could do about it. Either one, do nothing about it and settle or two, you leave the relationship because in your mind, the problem has gone way too far. But usually, what happens is that you just take the same problem to that new relationship and you end up leaving again. And option three, is you do the work. You see what's going on and you address it. What we talk about in this episode will not be an overnight fix. You get to remember that every relationship is like a bank account. You got to keep making deposits in order to make a withdraw. Invest in your relationship and take action. It's never too late to do it unless you take action now. ————- Hungry for more?
