082: The Power of Being Alone: My 24-Hour Solo Retreat Experience

Today’s hustle culture tricks men, myself included, into jamming more activities into our day to become more productive, more successful, and more fulfilled.  But this relentless pursuit of self-development opens up a void in our life. The more things we shove into our day, the less time we have to slow down and reflect on what actually matters.  In other words, adding more productivity hacks doesn’t result in significant improvement. It does the opposite: It drives you to the verge of burnout.  Nothing made this clearer to me than when I went on a 24-hour solo retreat. During these 24 hours of solitude, I realized some crucial things about my business, relationships, and life. And I want to share the template I used, so that you can do the same in your life if you’re feeling burnt out and unfilled.  In this episode, I reveal:  Why being alone, free from external influences, unlocks more meaningful change in less time  How doing less makes you more fulfilled  The exact template I followed during my 24-hour solo retreat that resulted in immediate transformation  And more, including:  6 simple questions to ask yourself to make 2024 more successful and fulfilling than 2023 (4:53)  Why listening to your own thoughts instead of relying on external influences (like books and podcasts) unlocks meaningful change—faster (6:12)  8 activities to dabble in when you’re feeling burnt out to refuel and revitalize you (7:11)  How long hikes clear out all your “brain gunk” and help you find mental clarity (even when you’re up to your neck in stress) (9:07)  Why “feeling” your way to self-development instead of “thinking” your way there unleashes significant improvement (and how to do this) (11:29)  The “building and optimizing” mistake of self-improvement that keeps you stuck, unfulfilled, and on the verge of burning out (15:41)  Constantly in “Go, Go, Go Mode?” Here’s why doing less makes you feel more fulfilled (19:41)  Other important links:  Want to improve your sexual wellness, get stronger erections, and last longer in bed?

081: Why Having a Million Dollars in Your Bank Account Won’t Make You Happy w/ Noah Kagan

Go up to any man on the street and ask him whether he’d like to have more money, and you’ll get the same response: Absolutely.  But today’s guest, Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo and the OK Dork YouTube channel, woke up with a million dollars in his bank account, but was miserable.  Despite his success from the outside looking in, his finances didn’t fill the void his work or relationships opened. That’s when he realized that your goals aren’t nearly as important as the systems you set up to make yourself happy and fulfilled. The solution?  Well, for Noah, it meant realizing he had the power to change anything in his life he wanted.  And you know what?  Even if you don’t have a million bucks in your bank account, you have this same power inside you, waiting for you to activate it.  In this episode, Noah and I discuss…  How to take your power back in every category of your life Why optimizing for happiness and longevity is more important than long-term goals How taking action right now builds confidence and momentum Why achieving your goals won’t make you happy (and what to do instead to be happy and proud of yourself today)  And more, including:  The simple “Persistence over Resistance” mindset hack for conquering your biggest goals (2:10)  How pausing instead of instantly reacting to negative situations helps you uncover the correct course of action (7:19)  The “Now, not How” secret that crushes your limiting beliefs and keeps your momentum growing (12:09)  How to take your power back—in your finances, your fitness, your relationships, and your work (23:43)  Why taking action right now builds unshakeable confidence and unstoppable momentum (27:08)  How focusing on systems instead of goals makes you happier, more fulfilled, and often more successful (30:17)  Noah’s “Weekly Review” framework for self-assessment which has a profound impact on his happiness and success (43:28)  How thinking of new activities and habits as “experiments” makes you okay with failure (46:01)  The simple “GEBY” morning routine for enhancing almost every aspect of your life (56:09)  How setting your gratitude bar as low as possible instantly skyrockets your happiness (57:10)  Why playing “silly” games like chess or fantasy football minimizes your daily stress levels and prevents burnout (1:15:31)  Resources mentioned on the show:  1.

080: How To Boost Your Productivity & Work-Life Balance When Working from Home

More people than ever have the option to work from home.  But is working from home all it’s cracked up to be? Well, working from home may boost your productivity, work-life balance, and reduce your overall stress. But it can also do the opposite: Plummet your productivity, sabotage your work-life balance, and lead to burnout.  Personally, working from home worked until it didn’t. After my second kid was born, there were too many distractions at home to accomplish anything meaningful. Plus, it made me a worse parent because I didn’t have any buffer time between “work mode” or “dad and husband mode.”  So, how can you best decide if you should work from home or in an office?  That’s what I will help you answer in today’s episode, and reveal…  The pros and cons of working from home How to work from home without sabotaging your work-life balance or causing unnecessary stress My personal experience of working from home (and why I prefer working in an office today)  Other highlights from this episode include:  Does working from home actually hurt your work-life balance? Here are some tips to improve your work-life balance (6:35) How simply turning off your computer forces you to shut off “work mode” so you can be present with your family (11:49)  Why working from home can cause crippling burnout (and how to best prevent this) (12:58)  The counterintuitive reason why working from an office makes you a more patient parent (15:50)  4 practical strategies to boost your productivity and work-life balance when you work from home (19:44)  Resources mentioned on the show:  1.

078: Why You Should Attend a Men’s Retreat in the Near Future

The biggest problem affecting men today is that we don’t get to connect with similar men on a deeper level. I struggle with this too, so you’re not alone.  Modern life fills our calendars with to-do’s, family, and stress, which doesn’t leave much time to connect deeply with other men. When we do hang out with other men, it’s usually superficial: Watching sports, talking about the news, or having a drink.  But something magical happens when you connect with other men on a deeper level:  You unlock meaningful change, uncover deep-seated fears and insecurities, and understand how to become a happier and more fulfilled version of yourself.  In today’s episode, I discuss… My main takeaways from the last men’s retreat I hosted  Why attending a men’s retreat can unlock the change you’ve been searching for  How to attend the next Man Flow Yoga men’s retreat And more, including…  How being surrounded by other men with similar values is the quickest way to enhance your happiness, productivity, and overall quality of life (0:50)  The “Repeated Why’s” secret for revealing your ultimate motivations for self-improvement (2:42)  Do you struggle with being vulnerable with loved ones? Here’s how to overcome this fear… (6:10)  Why getting out of the normal hustle-and-bustle of your routine unlocks meaningful change—rapidly (10:38) The single biggest problem modern men face that’s making you unfulfilled and unhappy (15:36)  How to increase your longevity if you’re in your 50s, 60, or 70s (17:39) Want to become a better version of yourself—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually? Here’s your invitation to the Be The Better You Men’s Retreat in April (limited spots left!) (20:30)  Resources mentioned on the show:  1. Attend the Be The Better You Retreat on April 18th: If you feel like something’s missing in your life and you’re not as happy or fulfilled as you like, you’re not alone.

077: Against The Grain: Exposing Conventional Health Wisdom w/ Mark Sisson

We’ve been told conventional health wisdom so much that most people believe it blindly. Things like you need to do cardio to lose weight. Eating fat makes you fat. And you need to eat at least 3 servings of grains to be healthy.  The trouble is, these conventional health wisdoms aren’t true. And today’s guest, Mark Sisson—founder of Primal Nutrition and Primal Kitchen, best-selling author, and publisher of MarksDailyApple.com—has been exposing false conventional thought about health his entire career.  In this episode, we tackle some of the most insidious “truths” that have derailed Mark’s health (and will derail yours too). Some of these topics include:  Why eating grains riddle your body with low-grade inflammation (the worst kind)  Why losing weight is more of a hormonal equation than an exercise and caloric restriction one  How to eat less without getting as hungry  Why nothing changed Mark’s life quite like switching to an anti-inflammatory diet  And so much more. Mark has been a long time hero of mine for his unconventional wisdoms about health and fitness. My hope is that after listening to this episode, you start challenging your own beliefs about health and fitness that may be subtly stifling your progress.  Other highlights from this show include:  How running sabotages your muscle mass: A lesson from a former weightlifting marathon runner (6:06)  3 of the biggest inflammatory foods (and how cutting them out makes your inflammation subside) (11:49)  Why one of the most influential “carb loading” experts recanted his entire career when he realized THIS… (15:40)  How eating more healthy fats in your diet actually increases your fat-burning rate (18:09)  Why exercising is a terrible way to lose weight (and what actually makes you leaner) (19:02)  How giving up grains for 30 days made Mark’s IBS, arthritis, GERD, and sinus congestion disappear (19:53)  The “Metabolic Flexibility” secret for retraining your body to burn fat instead of carbs for energy (24:28)  The “no longer hungry” cue from your body that stops you from overeating (34:42)  The insidious “Systemic Inflammation” which can cause leaky gut syndrome, diabetes, and other major health problems (38:06)  Why taking antioxidants after a workout can deprive your muscles of the benefits of exercise (43:39)  How mixing fats with carbs drives insulin into your fat cells and cripples your metabolic flexibility (49:49)  Do you wish you had a faster metabolism? Here’s the counterintuitive reason you should want a slower one… (51:19)  Does your knees or lower back hurt after walking? Mark’s new 5-toe shoes will eliminate your pain (1:06:44)  The one mindset shift required to transform your deepest holes in your life into growing experiences (1:18:12)  Resources mentioned on the show:  1.

By the end of January, 43% of people had already quit on their resolutions. And only 9% of people actually complete their resolutions by the end of the year.  Why?  Well, most people don’t understand how to properly reflect on the past year and set realistic, yet challenging goals for 2024.

075: Subtract; Don’t Add (Creating Space to Create Change for 2024)

Modern society, social media, and other outside forces convince us that we’re not living up to the best version of ourselves. So, despite already maxing out our willpower, we continue to try to add more and more habits to reach this idealized version of ourselves.  But here’s the thing…  The fastest and most effective way to create positive change in your life is by subtracting habits that no longer serve you, instead of just letting them pile up.  Why?  Because we each have a finite amount of willpower, motivation, and discipline. And when we push ourselves too hard or try to do too many things, we sacrifice our self-awareness. And this self-awareness is what leads to true positive change.  As you prepare for 2024, I’m challenging you to subtract habits and activities that no longer serve your best interest instead of stacking more habits onto your already busy schedule.  In today’s show (my last solo show of 2023), I’m giving your permission to take things away this month, so you create the change you crave in 2024 (and beyond).  During this episode, we’ll discuss:  Why subtracting habits and activities creates more rapid (and lasting) change than adding more to your plate  What can you take away this month to make space for the change that you want to create in 2024? How to use 2024 to increase your happiness, fulfillment, and fitness  And more, including…  Want to make 2024 better than 2023? Here’s why subtracting things is more effective for change than stacking up even more things (0:53)  The insidious temptation spurred onto you by social media that prevents you from making meaningful change (2:03)  3 questions to ask yourself to instantly reveal which habits are no longer serving your best interests (5:10)  How your ego feeds on external validation and tricks you into creating new habits that derail your happiness (and how to “spot” this sooner) ( 7:27)  Why scrolling on social media gives you a weird sense of body dysmorphia (even when you’re satisfied with your physique) (10:10)  How adding a few mindfulness activities into your life can help you eat better, exercise more, and live a healthier lifestyle (12:22)  2 books to add to your 2024 reading list that will boost your overall joy and fulfillment (13:08)  How changing your environment to suit your goals brings faster change than motivation, willpower, and discipline combined (14:45)  3 Man Flow Yoga programs that will build your self-awareness in a hurry (17:13)  Other important links:  Want to improve your sexual wellness, get stronger erections, and last longer in bed?
