Men are lonelier than ever — even in a world where we're more "connected" than at any point in history.

Is success in life just luck or the result of disciplined decisions? In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with Dr. Michael Orkin, statistician, professor, consultant, and author of The Story of Chance: Beyond the Margin of Error. With a PhD in Statistics from UC Berkeley, Dr. Orkin has spent his career studying probability, luck, and risk; from analyzing casino games and sports betting to teaching students how chance shapes everyday life. He has consulted for the gaming industry, delivered talks at Google, and is recognized as a leading voice on the role of luck in human decision-making. Together, Frank and Dr. Orkin explore how luck, probability, and randomness really shape our outcomes and how disciplined decision-making can tip the odds in your favor. From lottery jackpots and sports betting to slot machines, blackjack, and business decisions, Dr. Orkin explains how to separate random variance from real skill, avoid the traps of "false gurus," and apply timeless probability principles to fitness, finance, faith, family, and freedom. 🔑 Expect to learn: Why randomness is a backdrop in life, not your destiny and how persistence and skill win long term. The difference between luck and skill in gambling, investing, fitness, and relationships. What the Kelly Criterion teaches about money management, fitness progress, and spiritual growth. Why slot machines hijack the brain and what intermittent rewards teach us about dopamine cycles. How to spot and avoid the "double down" trap when you're losing in life or business.

How men of faith can reconcile God's sovereignty with life's randomness and why gratitude reframes "luck." --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

Too many high-performing men think success in one area guarantees success in all areas. But when it comes to your health, that's rarely the case. The truth? Traditional fitness advice is broken.

Overcoming porn isn't just about saying "no" harder, installing filters, or trying to white-knuckle your way through temptation. Real freedom comes when you heal the root — the wounds beneath the surface that porn has been covering up. In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank talks with Drew Boa, founder of Husband Material, pastoral sex addiction professional, podcaster, and author of the new book Outgrow Porn. Drew has walked with thousands of men through their healing journeys and brings a fresh, biblical, and deeply compassionate perspective on what it really takes to outgrow porn. Coach Frank & Drew dive into topics most men never talk about; sexual fantasies, inner child healing, shame, purity culture, relapse, and what it means to live fully alive as the man God created you to be. If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of guilt and failure, this episode is going to set you free with a new way of thinking about your struggle. About Drew Boa Drew Boa is the founder of Husband Material, host of the top-ranked Husband Material Podcast, and a Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP). With over a decade of experience, Drew has helped thousands of men worldwide heal from sexual brokenness and reclaim their God-given identity.

Your sexual fantasies tell a story, and when you understand that story, you unlock the key to healing. Pornography hijacks the brain's reward system as a "supernormal stimulus." Recognizing this helps you rewire your brain. Healing the boy within is essential to freeing the man you were created to be. Connection and safety are not optional, they're vital for breaking free from addiction. Shame is the fuel that keeps men stuck. To heal, you must replace condemnation with curiosity and compassion. Relapse is not failure, it's feedback. Every slip points to what still needs healing. Drew's OBC Method (Locate, Love, Lead) offers a framework to guide men in inner child healing. Purity culture often created toxic shame around sexuality. The answer isn't repression, it's redemption. Living a Super Human Life means embracing the full spectrum of emotions God designed us to feel. --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

What if eating sugar could actually help you burn fat, sleep better, and transform your body after 40? In this explosive episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with fitness legend Shaun Hadsall, better known as The Ripped Grandpa, to break down the truth behind The Sugar Diet, a controversial but powerful nutritional strategy that's blowing up in the fitness world. Shaun shares the science behind how sugar (yes, sugar) can be strategically used to ignite fat loss, boost metabolism, and support muscle retention, especially for men in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. The conversation dives deep into the real cause of obesity, the hormone FGF21, and how sugar, when isolated from fat and protein, can actually heal your metabolism instead of destroy it. If you've tried keto, low-carb, or intermittent fasting and still feel stuck... this episode will completely rewire how you think about food, discipline, and fat loss. Frank also shares his personal results using The Sugar Diet, including improvements in energy, fat loss, and sleep, without restriction or burnout. 👤 About Shaun Hadsall: Shaun Hadsall is a 50+ year-old fitness coach, best-selling author, and co-founder of Get Lean After 40. Known online as The Ripped Grandpa, he's spent the last 20+ years helping men and women over 40 optimize hormones, lose stubborn belly fat, and build lean muscle through cutting-edge nutrition strategies like carb-cycling and now, The Sugar Diet. Shaun's mission is to disrupt the lies of diet culture and prove that aging doesn't mean slowing down. 👉 Learn more at: www.rippedgrandpa.com ✅ Key Takeaways: 🍭 The Sugar Diet works by isolating sugar from protein and fat, triggering a metabolic response that activates FGF21, a hormone critical for fat burning and energy regulation. 🔥 Sugar fasting can create hormetic stress that resets your metabolism when used properly. 💪 Carbohydrates are muscle-sparing when timed and portioned correctly—especially in a low-fat state. 🧠 Mindset is everything. Adherence to any diet matters more than the diet itself. ❌ Sugar is not the villain. Excessive fat + sugar is the real obesity combo. 😴 The Sugar Diet can improve energy, sleep, and hormonal balance; especially in men over 30. 🧩 Balance is key. There's no one-size-fits-all diet, but understanding why your body reacts a certain way is game-changing.

True forgiveness begins with yourself and it's the gateway to healing and freedom. Vulnerability is power, especially for men in leadership. You don't need more opportunities, you need clarity on your calling. Your image doesn't define you, your effort and obedience do. Community isn't optional, it's the foundation for growth, accountability, and faith.
