Episode #1076

You know your core values at work. You've built a team culture, held people accountable, and led with purpose. But at home? Things feel off. Maybe you're clear and confident at work but second-guess yourself with your family. You say your family comes first, but your calendar tells a different story.

In this episode, Tim and Bruce talk about a pattern they've seen in successful men: strong leadership at work, but little direction at home. They unpack why many guys never define values for their family life, and how that lack of clarity leads to drifting, disconnect, and frustration. You'll hear simple ways to bring intentional leadership into your home, starting with a 15-minute exercise that helps you define how you want to show up with your partner and kids.

If you've ever felt like you're failing at home without knowing exactly why, this conversation will hit home. It's honest, practical, and focused on helping you get aligned with the man you want to be, especially when you walk through the front door. You'll also learn how misaligned values can quietly create tension in your marriage. And why setting even three simple core values at home can shift the energy with your wife and kids. It's not about being perfect. It's about showing up with more intention and less confusion. If you're leading everywhere except at home, this is the episode to tune into.

Episode #1075

You'd think selling your business for millions would be the happiest moment of your life. But for many men, it brings something they didn't expect: confusion, disconnection, and a deep sense of loss.

In this episode, Tim sits down with Bruce to talk about what really happens after the big win. They share real stories from men who've reached the top only to realize the scoreboard at home looks very different from the one at work. We dig into identity, purpose, the emotional cost of achievement, and why many men feel like frauds even after they've made it.

You'll hear why the people at home don't care how big the exit was. Why being respected in the boardroom doesn't always mean being seen in your own living room. And why men often retreat back into work instead of leaning into the harder work at home. We talk about the emotional bank account and what to do when it's overdrawn. If you've ever felt like something's off even when everything looks perfect on paper, this one will hit home.

Episode #1074

What happens when success on paper doesn't match how you feel inside? In this episode, Bruce shares the quiet crisis he faced in his 40s, one that wasn't loud or obvious, but deeply personal. He opens up about the years he spent hiding behind work, accomplishments, and a polished image, while quietly carrying a weight he didn't know how to name. Through honest conversation, Bruce and Tim unpack what shame really is, how it can quietly shape your life, and why so many men struggle to talk about it. This isn't about fixing everything overnight, it's about being honest about where you are and starting to move in a better direction.

You'll hear about Bruce's journey from pushing people away to finally letting himself be seen. He talks openly about what it took to stop pretending and start connecting in a real way, especially with other men. If you've ever felt like something's off, even if everything looks fine from the outside, this conversation is for you. It's real, it's grounded, and it might be the nudge you need to start showing up differently. The goal isn't perfection, it's authenticity.

Episode #1072

In this powerful revisit episode, we sit down with Gary and Heather, a couple deeply rooted in the TPM community, to talk about something most men avoid: emotional honesty. We're digging into what it really takes to build deep intimacy and trust in a relationship, not through grand gestures but through the simple, consistent act of showing up honestly.

Gary shares how owning his needs and communicating them without shame became a turning point in his relationship. Heather opens up about how emotional safety, something she didn't realize she even needed, has become the foundation of their connection.

We also talk about what keeps most men stuck. The fear of rejection. The pressure to always be the rock. The habit of hiding behind surface-level communication. But when a man starts being radically honest with himself and his partner, things shift. Real intimacy becomes possible.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not getting the connection you want, this one's worth a listen. You'll walk away with real, actionable insight on how to start showing up differently without becoming someone you're not.

Episode #1071

If you've ever wondered whether your wife is comparing you to other men, coworkers, friends' husbands, or even her dad, you're not crazy. She probably is. And while it's uncomfortable to think about, it doesn't mean she's a bad partner. It usually means she's hurting, disconnected, or missing something that used to be there. In this episode, Doug and Erin break down exactly why these comparisons happen, what they actually mean, and how to shift the dynamic without playing the blame game.

Erin shares the raw truth about how women experience disconnection and why bitterness and criticism are often just cover-ups for sadness and longing. Doug opens up about the patterns he's seen in men who unknowingly slip into the nice guy trap, and what it takes to rebuild trust, respect, and attraction without begging or forcing conversations that go nowhere.

If you're feeling like something's off but can't quite name it, this episode will help you see it clearly. Sometimes the issue isn't that she's changed, it's that you've lost connection with yourself. And when that happens, she feels it. Your energy matters more than you think, and when you're checked out, she checks out too. The good news is, there's a way to turn this around that doesn't involve chasing or convincing her to talk.

Episode #1070

If your marriage feels more like a business arrangement than a real partnership, you're not imagining it and you're definitely not alone. In this episode, Doug sits down with his wife Erin to unpack what disconnection looks and feels like from a woman's perspective.

They get real about how so many couples slowly drift apart, even when everything looks fine on the outside. Erin shares what's happening under the surface when a woman pulls away, why she might seem cold, distant, or buried in her phone, and what she's actually craving instead.

This isn't theory. It's not a lecture. It's two people sharing what it's really like when the spark fades, and what can help bring it back. They talk about the quiet resentment that builds over time, how to spot the signs that things are slipping, and how to approach your partner in a way that opens the door to real connection again, not more conflict or shutdown.

If you're feeling stuck, or you just know you're capable of more than a "meh" marriage, this is your starting point. You'll hear the small things that make a big difference, like how your energy impacts her more than your words. They also talk about what most men miss during postpartum and perimenopause that can quietly break the bond.

It's honest, raw, and grounded in real experience, not fluff or surface-level tips. There's no sugarcoating, just clarity on what it takes to shift from surviving to actually enjoying your relationship again.
