You'll hear how to show up in a way that feels consistent and grounded, what kind of communication actually helps, and why you need to go all in if you want real change. This is a conversation every married man should hear.

Episode #1054

A lot of men feel like they're doing everything they're supposed to do, working hard, showing up for their families, keeping it together, but still feel empty, burnt out, or disconnected. In this episode, Doug sits down with master coaches Neil and Mark to talk about why so many high-performing men hit a wall and what finally gets them moving again.

You'll hear honest stories from men who've spent years in therapy without results, the surprising stats around male loneliness, and why doing more isn't the answer. This isn't a motivational pep talk. It's a grounded, straight-up look at how to reconnect with your power, your purpose, and your people, starting right where you are.

We also talk about what most men get wrong about asking for help, the slow death of becoming the nice guy, and how to stop pushing everyone away without even realizing it. If you've ever felt like you're carrying the load alone or just running on fumes, this conversation is for you.

Episode #1052

In this revisit episode, Doug sits down with TPM advisor Christopher Hansen to talk about something every married man needs to understand but few are ever taught. What it really means to lead in your marriage.

They dig into what happens when a man steps back from leadership and how that slowly chips away at trust, safety, and intimacy over time. You'll hear why emotional safety matters more than you think, why your wife might be spending more as a signal and not the problem, and how to stop trying to fix things by doing more of what already isn't working.

Chris also shares what he's learned from thousands of conversations with men who reach out for support. Most guys wait too long, try to figure it out alone, and don't realize their wife has already started checking out.

You'll also hear why "being a nice guy" doesn't always help, and how most men unknowingly give away their power by trying to avoid conflict. If you're tired of walking on eggshells or unsure how to take back control without becoming aggressive or passive, this conversation will give you the clarity and direction you've been missing.

If your marriage feels stuck or strained, this episode will help you see a clear path forward. No pressure, no fluff. Just practical insight and real examples of how small shifts in how you show up can change everything.

Episode #1051

We're bringing this one back because it's one of the most important conversations you'll hear if you're a married man wanting deeper connection and real intimacy with your wife.

Doug is joined by his wife Erin, a seasoned coach for women, to talk about something most guys miss. How emotional safety and real presence outside the bedroom shape what happens inside it.

If you've ever felt stuck in the same cycle where sex feels like a reward you have to earn or where connection feels out of reach, this is your episode. Erin breaks down what women really want and why so many men unknowingly kill the spark by skipping past the emotional part.

They also get into what it means to actually lead in a relationship. Not in a controlling way, but by showing up with consistency, presence, and trust. If your wife doesn't fully trust your leadership, chances are she won't fully open up either. This episode walks through what that looks like in day-to-day life and what to shift starting now.

This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about getting back to who you've always been, the grounded, present man your partner deeply wants to trust and be with.

Episode #1050

In this episode, we talk about what it actually means to let go and why it might be the one thing standing between you and the life you want. Doug shares a real story about a man whose marriage, business, and family were falling apart. Nothing was working. Then everything changed when he stopped holding onto the stories he believed were true.

This isn't about pretending things are fine. It's about being honest with yourself and asking where you might be holding on too tightly. If you've ever thought your wife just doesn't get it or that nothing will ever change, this conversation is going to challenge you.

The hardest part for most men is realizing that control and certainty are often just ways to avoid the truth. Letting go isn't weakness. It's leadership. And it takes a level of strength most guys don't talk about. But once you get it, you start showing up differently in your marriage, at home, and in the way you carry yourself every day.

Episode #1049

If you're the kind of guy who puts everyone else first and leaves yourself last, this episode will hit home. Doug and Chris unpack why self care isn't optional if you want to lead well at home, in business, and in life. This isn't about pampering yourself. It's about learning how to consistently show up as the grounded, confident man your family needs.

They walk through how putting yourself last often leads to burnout, resentment, and a quiet victim mindset. You think you're doing the right thing by pushing through and putting others first, but over time it starts to wear you down. And your wife, your kids, your team—they feel it too.

You'll hear personal stories and examples of what real self care looks like for high performing men. From simple shifts like lifting weights or taking time to reset, to understanding how your wife views your self investment as a signal of leadership. This is about setting a new standard and leading by example.

If you're tired of running on empty or just know you're capable of showing up better, this is your call to take action.

Episode #1048

If it feels like you and your wife have drifted apart, like you're just going through the motions or living as roommates, this episode is for you. Doug and Chris unpack one of the most common issues men bring up: how to bring back the spark and get the intimacy flowing again in your marriage.

Most guys think the problem is sex. But the real issue usually starts way before the bedroom. Emotional safety is what creates the space for connection, attraction, and fun to come back. Without it, you're stuck in a loop of frustration and distance.

In this conversation, you'll get a clear look at what's actually going on and what to do about it. Doug shares practical tools that help you shift the dynamic fast, like the Hidden Motives Technique and how to make intimacy something your wife actually wants to initiate. He also walks through how to create an environment where both of you can open up, have more fun, and rebuild that spark without needing long, uncomfortable conversations.

This isn't about games or being someone you're not. It's about stepping into the role of a grounded, confident man who leads with clarity and strength. That's when everything changes.
