Tanner Guzy's Journey
Episode #370 How do you decide what your style is? How do you determine your identity? Over time, a lot of men give in to an easy and lazy lifestyle when it comes to fashion. Fashion is the magazine and runway shows, maybe even things that you see on YouTube, and things you need to wear to be on-trend. Style is understanding who you are and how you fit into the world and how you externally express that. The first thing people pay attention to is your energy. If you're coming with energy that has been hindered or dampened, they'll be able to recognize that. There is a big difference between a guy who looks like he's wearing a suit because he has to...and a guy who looks like he's wearing a suit because he wants to. In this episode, we are going to talk about Tanner Guzy's journey, men's fashion, how to determine your style & identity, and some easy things to do to get started in this process. __________ Hungry for more?

Cavan Ramsey's Journey
Episode #369 Why do so many successful men wait until the last minute to act? How has The Activation Method changed Cavan Ramsey's life? Before The Powerful Man, Cavan was working a good job, earning good money, and enjoying his seemingly wonderful family life. It was great - until things started coming apart. He realized that he needed to do something different, but he thought he had everything under control. One reason why successful men put things off is that they think they're in control of the situation. "Everything is fine and everything will get better." When Cavan joined the program, he thought he was going to get all the answers to fix his marriage. But it is not about fixing things externally. The Activation Method is focused on you and what you're doing - the impact that you have not only on yourself but on everyone close to you. In this episode, we are going to talk about Cavan Ramsey's journey, why so many successful men wait until the last minute to join The Activation Method, and how TAM has changed his life - it can change yours, too! __________ Hungry for more?

How To Call Out The Gaps In Your Life
Episode #368 When you see a gap in yourself, you work to address it on your path to becoming a better man, right? So why do you hold back from calling out the gaps you see in others? People fear that they're going to be rejected for pointing out what's going on. If we are a team and we are committed to achieving a goal together, then if we don't call out the gaps that we see in someone else, we're sacrificing our own progress - because as a team we all achieve that one goal together. A lot of people want to be accepted because they feel that it's safer. Wanting to be liked, accepted, and wanting others to enjoy our company prevents us from stepping in and leading. As a leader, you need to call out the gaps. You have to bear the risk of people not accepting you - so that you can the right thing for yourself and the team. In this episode, we talk about core values - how to call out the gaps, why people hold back from doing this, how to stop the cycle, and how to lead properly and powerfully. __________ Hungry for more?

8 Ways To Regain Your Sex Frame
Episode #367 Would you say that you're having enough sex with your wife? Is your wife the one who decides whether or not to have sex? The key frame of reference in your relationship is summed up best with this question: "Whose reality we are living in?" It's rare for two frames to collide and merge successfully. In most cases, one frame takes over the other. It takes ONE to lead. Most women are going to enjoy the relationship more with a masculine man leading them. It's not about controlling your woman - it's about making it more enjoyable for her. Make it exciting, enticing, and a fantasy that she wants to live in. In this episode, we are going to talk about sexuality, what the "sex frame" is, the eight ways to recover your sex frame, and how to tend the spark in your relationship so that it becomes a burning flame. __________ Hungry for more?

The Truth Behind Why You've Never Launched That Big Idea
Episode #366 Why do some men never launch their big ideas? What keeps a man from acting on them? We have our sense of identity...of who we are. A lot of times, we create a fantasy of this big idea, and we start to live in this fantasy world. The scary part is what we fear will happen to our identity if we launch that idea and it fails. Does that make you a failure? The more grounded you are as a Powerful Man, the easier it is to go after the fantasy. When you're grounded, that fantasy gets attracted to you. When you're an Activated Man, all the territories are attracted to you. Self-worth and self-image are tied tightly together. If your self-worth is high, then your sense of identity is solid - you aren't going to worry so much about how people think of you and how you think of yourself. In this episode, we're going to talk about the real reason why men never launched their big ideas, the importance of self-worth and self-image, and the things you need to focus on when your situation is at its worst. __________ Hungry for more?
