Rethinking Alcohol Part #2: Life After Alcohol, Boring or Thriving?

#310. Follow Dominick on Instagram: @DominickQ Join the Great Man Mastermind: https://www.dominickq.com/masterminds/the-digital-mastermind Join the Facebook Group for Men: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGreatManWithin __________________________ This is the 2nd installment of a 3-part series for the man who wants to inspect his relationship with alcohol. Alcohol is an area of life where you can really drift if you don’t bring some intentionality to it. So in the first episode we interviewed Pete Sousa, a TV News Anchor and ESPN Play by Play Sports analyst who hit rock bottom through alcohol abuse, entered AA and had to rebuild his life in his early 30s. That was a look into the extreme and devastating effects of addictive alcohol abuse. And even though Bryan and I never had an addictive relationship with alcohol, through Pete’s story we could sure as hell see how we’d used booze to mask insecurities, numb fears and quite frankly…just fit in. But I’ve been alcohol free for about 6 years now, and I’m never going back. There was never a moment where I declared I’m not drinking anymore. Alcohol just faded out of my life the more and more intentional I got, and the less and less alcohol aligned with where I was going. Bryan still drinks socially, albeit far less regularly than he did even just a few years ago. In this Episode What an alcohol free life could feel like The friction you may experience when curtailing your drinking The relationships that may change as a result How to build a vibrant and fun social life without the social lubrication The impact on your body of going alcohol free

What it Means to Be a Man of Your Word with Ryan King

#308. Follow Dominick on Instagram: @DominickQ Join the Great Man Mastermind: https://www.dominickq.com/masterminds/the-digital-mastermind Join the Facebook Group for Men: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGreatManWithin __________________________ Ryan King on Instagram: @TheWisdomOfKings Post #1: A Man of Your Word Post #2: I Would Die for Her, But Do I Truly Live for Her? Post #3: Great Men Care Deeply (To my gay and queer brothers: I do my best to make these emails as inclusive as possible. Every so often I’ll be focusing a message on the male/female relationship dynamic, since that’s my personal area of lived experience and expertise. Just want you to know I see you.) Guys, there’s only one question that matters to your woman. Can she count on you? “Can she count on you” is a question you can’t answer with words… …you can only answer it through consistent action. “Can she count on you” is a question you can’t answer one time… …it must be answered over and over again. With every action (or non-action) you are reinforcing one of two things: She can count on you She can’t It’s that simple. And it’s amazing how few men understand this. 7 Questions She Wants to Know the Answer To Read these slowly…and be ruthlessly honest in your self-assessment. Can she count on you to: …live up to your word? …admit when you’re wrong? …be there for her emotionally? …follow through on your commitments? …show up for both the big and small things? …stand up for yourself when she’s pushing too far? …show up when it’s hard…when it’s inconvenient…when you’re exhausted? A Challenge: If you have the courage and the desire, bring these 7 questions to the lady in your life, and ask her to answer them with full candor. If you take this on, it is your responsibility to own whatever emotional response comes up for you if you hear something you don’t like. In that case, thank her for the gift she just gave you. Your work is to go process that, learn from it and show up better…in a way she can count on. -DQ PS: Share this with a man in your life who’s asking the important questions about his life.

How to Ask Better Questions to Improve the Quality of Your Life, with Marc Champagne, author of Personal Socrates

#305. Follow Dominick on Instagram: @DominickQ Join the Great Man Mastermind: https://www.dominickq.com/masterminds/the-digital-mastermind Join the Facebook Group for Men: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGreatManWithin __________________________ Marc Champagne Website: https://www.behindthehuman.com Tony Robbins once said, “The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the quality of the questions you are asking yourself.” Our guest today is Marc Champagne, author of Personal Socrates, a book with 38 questions to help you elevate the quality of your life. Each of these questions were sourced by one of the inspirational people Marc profiled in the book. For example: “Who am I optimizing to become?” – James Clear “What world do I want to create?” – J.R.R. Tolkien “What expectations am I holding in my relationships?” – Melissa Ambrosini “How do I become irreplaceable?” – Coco Chanel “What is within my control?” - Ryan Holiday Marc became a true believer in the life-changing magic of asking empowering questions when he found himself stuck in a depression after deleting an app – and his entire business – from the Apple app store…which touched the lives of 86 million people, but couldn’t find a sustainable business model…leaving him without a business, a loss of a identity and a lot of financial liabilities and a young family. And it was one question that took him from hopelessness to hope, which is where we begin this podcast.

#302. Follow Dominick on Instagram: @DominickQ Join the Great Man Mastermind: https://www.dominickq.com/masterminds/the-digital-mastermind Join the Facebook Group for Men: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGreatManWithin __________________________ Book: The Magic of Surrender: Finding the Courage to Let Go by Kute Blackson Webinar: https://kuteblackson.com/reinventseminar My guest today is a transformational teacher, worldwide speaker, author of two National Best-Selling Books and a visionary who’s mission is to awaken and inspire people across the planet to access inner freedom, live authentically and fulfill their true life’s purpose. He’s been interviewed by the likes of Larry King, Tom Bilyeu on the Impact Theory Podcast and Inc Magazine calls him the Mindfulness Guru Billionaires go to for Advice. If you immediately find yourself captivated by him, you’re not alone. He’s a gifted speaker. In fact, he spoke in front of an audience of 3,000 people at age 8…and by the time he was 18, he’d already spoken in front of over 100,000 people in live audiences. His most recent book The Magic of Surrender: Finding the Courage to Let Go is a practical guide to unlocking your life’s greatest power and routinely experiencing miracles in your every day life. The book features captivating and insightful stories of exceptional people who’ve embodied the practice of surrender, such as Nelson Mandela, Vicktor Frankl, Lady Gaga, Bruce Lee, Laird Hamilton, Tyler Perry and Dave Chappelle. If you’ve ever found yourself tired of fighting with life, exhausted from the grind and unfulfilled despite all your achievements…then I suspect you’re going to learn a lot from the wisdom of today’s guest… Who might just tell us some stories about: How the train stations in India can provide a doctorate level education in surrender Why showing up at the airport without a ticket can lead to an adventure of a lifetime And why marrying someone who you’ve never seen before, who’s language you don’t speak, might just be the best decision of your life.
