So many of us, as men, are operating from a position of scarcity. We’ve wired our brains over decades to constantly crave newer, better, more. Ironically, “more” doesn’t always enhance and enrich our lives. In fact, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the quest for better actually makes us less happy and less fulfilled. My guest today is Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and his latest book, Scarcity Brain. Today, Michael and I cover why we constantly crave more, the dangers inherent in social media, parameters to consider when looking for abundance in our lives, how to strike the balance between contentment with ambition, and how to finally conquer our scarcity brains.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Balancing contentment and ambition Recognizing and avoiding overindulgence Ways to make your phone less stimulating Buy gear, not stuff Too much clutter impacts productivity Finding gratification in the process Leaning into a higher purpose Learning from hard times   Battle Planners are back in stock.

Every single one of us has a story. We all have a past. And, too many of us live in what we’ve done in the past rather than use it as fuel to propel us into the future. One of the great comeback stories that you may be somewhat familiar with is Phil Robertson’s (from Duck Dynasty) story of perseverance, overcoming extreme hardship, and the path to redemption. His son and co-star of Duck Dynasty, Willie Robertson, is here to talk with me today about his father’s story of redemption, their new movie, The Blind, why it’s never too late to write the next chapter of your life, digging out of the depths of despair, and overcoming the guilt of past behavior.   Battle Planners are back in stock.

Anxiousness, depression, suicide. These are all growing trends with men. And, it’s unfortunate because, with all we know about men’s health (physical, mental, and emotional), why is it that so many of us seem to be struggling now more than ever? Isolation, loneliness, loss of ambition, lack of clarity and goals all contribute to the epidemic that seems to be plaguing so many men. It doesn’t have to be this way. And, my good friend and author of Building a Non-Anxious Life, John Delony, is here today to tell us how to make it so. We talk about burnout, stress, and numbing behavior, unpacking what value you truly add to the people you care about, how to apply these principles in reality (and practically), why we don’t have “maps” for every situation we encounter and what to do about it, and overcoming a past of extreme guilt and shame for past behavior.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Life is meant to have ups and downs Defining anxiety Do you need a chip on your shoulder to be successful? Sometimes you need to slow down Drawbacks of using achievement as a drug Uncovering hidden value Find your purpose by showing up Curiosity is underrated Knowing the right map to follow in life Your body is always looking for red flags   Battle Planners are back in stock.

With the thousands of men I’ve talked with over the years, it’s evident that building and developing confidence is a huge issue for so many men. And, yet, so many men still struggle with the mindsets and activities required to build that confidence in themselves. Many of them believe you’re either born with it or you won’t ever develop it. That just isn’t true. And, my guest today, Bradley Richardson, is here to talk about why that is and what to do about it. Today we talk about why men hang on to unimportant, irrelevant issues way too long, how to deal and cope with a loss of control, knowing what you want and never settling, why many men settle for broken women, avoiding becoming a chameleon to others, and how to regain your sense of clarity and confidence. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Guys tend to get stuck in the past relationships are not just a quid pro quo We need to communicate our expectations and standards What you want may not be what you need What people really want is a connection The bar is so low for men in relationships Control the things you can control Some men use their family as an excuse We kill ourselves with overthinking   Join the Iron Council brotherhood.
