The Power of Connection and Growth

Over the past 9 years, we’ve sat down with hundreds of men—entrepreneurs, leaders, husbands, and fathers—to talk about what really matters.

And after 500 raw, unfiltered conversations, one truth keeps rising to the top:

Success means nothing if it costs you your family.

In this special 500th episode, I sat down with two of the men who’ve been there since day one—Hal Elrod (The Miracle Morning) and Justin Donald (The Lifestyle Investor). They've helped shape this brotherhood from the very beginning.

We didn’t talk about hacks or highlight reels. We talked about what this community has taught us after nearly a decade of doing the work:

• What happens when your wife looks you in the eye and tells you the truth you’ve been avoiding.

• What cancer, addiction, and burnout reveal about the life you say you want vs. the one you're actually living.

• What it really looks like to lead your family with integrity, presence, and love.

This isn’t a greatest-hits recap. It’s a look under the hood.

This is what we’ve learned from 9 years of showing up, failing forward, and fighting to become the men our families need.

If you’ve ever felt the gap between the man you are and the man you’re trying to be… This conversation will meet you there.
