How to Navigate Relationship Problems

Episode #96 Something we have learned in working with hundreds of men is that most men don’t know who they are. They are not able to clearly define what a powerful man is for them and how a man should handle arguments in a relationship. A piece of advice we give our men when it comes to their relationships is DO NOT try to win in an argument...instead try to connect, try to make peace and talk it out. When we turn honest communication we will result in a loving and peaceful relationship. A few things most men do that we advise to NOT do: DO NOT punish your partner by giving her silent treatment or by giving distance after an argument. This is an immature way to handle it. DO NOT push her away just because you are hurt. We tend to show cold treatment and distance because we want them to come running for us and to validate our feelings. In return, the distance between you will grow over time and it will eventually make you miles apart emotionally. If the argument is not communicated well, it can become cumulative. The fights will go deeper and you will argue more and more. Due to the resentment that was built up, triggers from the past can come up that have nothing to do with your relationship at all. Relationships are one of the most important areas in our lives. If you have unresolved arguments in the relationship it causes a disadvantage for you. It will affect all areas of your life, how you operate, you cannot be at peace and you’re going to take that everywhere. In this episode, we teach you how to deal with issues in your relationship in an efficient way that is effective and healthy. Clean up your side of the street first. Take a look at yourself and be the perfect version of yourself, the powerful man that your woman chose to marry. By doing this, you are encouraging your partner to do the same. In this episode you will learn: How a powerful man efficiently handles arguments in a relationship The importance of peaceful communication in your relationship The importance of resolving issues real-time The effects of having unresolved arguments in your everyday life What causes relationship problems to build up ————- Hungry for more?

Suicide and Men Hurting - What You Can Do to Help

Episode #95 If you know someone who is suffering, maybe a friend or a loved one or a family member, to the extent of him or her thinking of committing suicide, what could you do to help? This is a question many men ask us and we have asked ourselves often. In order to help someone, you MUST have a support structure in place. A support system where others are willing to be raw and authentic and share more of who they are and what's going on with their lives. If we are open and authentic we give permission to other people to do the same. If somebody is having a hard time and reaches out to you, welcome them and help them. Let them feel that you actually care for them and you are there for them. Show them that you want to help them and give them space to unload. Have an ear for them and respect everything they say. If this person thinks that it's the end for him and that there is no other way for him to get through his situation, encourage them that there is still another way. He might not be able to see it right now, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  Give them hope of the future or better tomorrow. Remind them of the people that love them. Help them realize that there is always someone who went through the same situation as them who will guide them in overcoming the situation they are in right now. Every problem has a solution, there is always an answer to any question, we just need to reach out and ask for help. It is also important to do a follow-up. Check on them from time to time and give them reassurance. Be consistent and create a structure to continuously support that person.

Planning the Perfect Date Night

Episode #93 Having a perfect date night is something that men aim for. And let us tell you....planning it is really a challenge! Expectation versus reality comes into play in a major way with this one. So the question is...is there a formula for having that perfect date night? In this episode, Tim and Doug share their ways of planning their perfect date nights. Get it in your calendar. Think about the outcomes that you want to have during and after that date night. Paint that picture in your head. Give yourself a transition time, from “work mode” or whatever mode you were in to “date night mode”. Don’t rush yourself getting into that “date night mode”. Make sure to figure out what you like and equally important, what your partner or your wife likes as well. Looking around within your community and seeing what you can do in the area would be a great help in planning your perfect date nights. Avoid planning at the last minute because most of the time, the result isn’t great or sometimes, it will be a disaster. Always start with the end in mind. However, don’t put too many expectations on your date nights. Remember that it’s not going to always be perfect. We’re all human. Think less about the expectations and think more about the possibilities. At the end of the day, your presence and the connections that you’ll make on your date night is more important. What you will learn in this episode: How to plan a perfect date night The importance of planning the perfect date night The importance of thinking more about the possibilities versus expectations ————- Hungry for more?

When Therapy Doesn't Work

Episode #92 What happens when therapy doesn't work? For most men, there has been a lot of negative connotations around going to therapy, whether it's couples therapy, marriage counseling, or therapy on their own. Some men that come through The Powerful Man say their therapy wasn’t successful because the therapist is a woman and they can’t rely on her to will really understand what they’re going through. Other men believe the stigma that being in therapy indicates that there is something wrong with them. Oftentimes, therapy doesn’t work for men because men try to compartmentalize their lives that affect almost every area of their lives, their businesses, their marriages, their health, their finances, and personal happiness. If therapy doesn’t work for you...try something else! The truth is, you are not put on this world to struggle. You've just been using the wrong system or the wrong roadmap. If you’re given the right roadmap and you’re willing to do the work, then a particular result happens. Do something. Don’t be in therapy if you're experiencing no results and you aren't doing anything about it.  Don’t be afraid to pivot. Don’t be afraid to make a change. Know when perseverance is starting to work against you & don’t be afraid to try something different. Make that call.  What you will learn in this episode: What to do when therapy doesn’t work. The importance of having the right therapy. The importance of not settling. The importance of taking action when you're not seeing any results. ———— Hungry for more?

Holding Space for the Woman in Your Life

Episode #91 Knowing who we are and what we want will give us the foundation and direction as we go on with our lives. If you are confident of who you are, there will be no need to put up a front just to prove yourself to other people. Be authentic. Be the man you're capable of being. Stop seeking validation from people around you.  If you are secure with yourself and steadfast, things will wash over you. If our foundation is strong, you don't easily succumb to any conflict that you encounter. If you discover who you are and be confident about it, people will see you as someone who can lead them and whom they can give their trust. People tend to invest their emotions and trust in a person who they know is stable and secure.  Not knowing who you mean not knowing what you want. If you don't figure out who you are, you will forever be living somebody else's dreams and desires and you will never feel content.

Do You Know You're Capable Of More?

Episode #90 In this episode, Tim and Doug discuss Tim's conversation with one of the men from the brotherhood. He shared that this particular man has been hiding or living just to get by for the past several months after becoming a better man as a result of joining the brotherhood. For the past 12 months, this guy achieved phenomenal things. To name a few, he landed a 6-figure deal in his business which is the largest in his company's history, he reunited with his family, lost weight, is now picking up his kids from school and now has control over all aspects of his life. Yet...over the past month or so, he has been doing 'just enough' to get by. He has been making promises but then not following through, especially in his business. His company has been receiving negative reviews for its poor customer service which Tim believes is a reflection of him not being there to provide presence and leadership. Most men, if not all, experience this situation. In business, for example, we are so used to hustling and grinding our way until we reach our business goals. And then when we reach those goals, we just stop working. We take our foot off the gas. We settle. And two or three months go by, and suddenly we lose a client, and another client, and another client. By the time we take to look at it, the business is already burning down. So we start to take action again, step on the gas again, hustle and grind until we build the business back up again. And then we settle again and then we burn it again and then build it back up and then settle again. The pattern goes on and on. Until you figure out why you do this, why that pattern keeps on happening, where's the source of it, you will be trapped inside this loop. Get very clear with yourself. Are you being the man you know you can be? Don't get stuck in the patterns that don't serve you. What you will learn in this episode: What is Upper Limiting What is Unconcious Commitment What to do when you reach your threshold The importance of recognizing the patterns that don't serve you -------------------------------------------   Hungry for more?

Am I A Great Father?

Episode #88 As men, we are taught that in order to provide for our family we have to work hard. Working hard then leads us to hustle, leaving us to think that we are doing exactly what we are supposed to do....but in reality, we are completely missing the mark. While you are busy grinding to secure your children's future, you are losing the chance to be with them while they are growing up because there is no energy left for them every time you get home. You lose the chance to be physically and emotionally present for them and the chance to experience having a great father who can serve as their model when they themselves become fathers. To be a great father you should have the skillset to understand your children and get into THEIR world. Spend time with them and do your best to not miss important events in their lives. We often grind so we can give them everything we think they need to be happy but what we don't realize is that spending quality time with them IS what makes them happy. Know your priorities. Know what really matters to you. If you say it is your children or family, then you have to be PRESENT for them. Break the pattern and be a father whom your children will look up to.
