  • How to Build Discipline After 40 (Even If Habits Don’t Work Anymore) - Ep #217
    Aug 20 2025

    Most men over 40 are stuck chasing random habits - ice baths, 5am alarms, the latest “hack” from LinkedIn - only to burn out and quit by Friday.

    The truth? Habits don’t stick after 40. Discipline does.

    In this episode of the RISING KINGS Podcast, Ben Salkeld (Founder of RISING KINGS) reveals the Discipline Engine™ - a proven 3-step system that replaces motivation with structure so high-performing men can:

    • Rebuild consistency in business, fitness, and family
    • Break free from false starts and plateaus
    • Finally follow through without relying on hype or willpower

    With insights from over 1,400 men, you’ll see why habits fail - and how building discipline changes everything.

    👉 Listen now to discover how to install the Discipline Engine and unlock your next level after 40.

  • From Boy to Man: The 5 Laws That Rebuild Leadership, Marriage & Legacy - Ep #216
    Aug 13 2025

    You’ve ticked the boxes: career, family, success.
    But if you’re honest… you’re still asking: Is this it?

    You’re not broken. You’re not alone.
    You’re just playing a man’s game with a boy’s rulebook and no one ever gave you the real one.

    In this episode, Ben reveals the 5 laws that separate high-performing men who stay stuck… from those who rise into grounded, powerful leadership - in their business, marriage, fatherhood, and daily life.

    He shares why success often leaves men feeling more isolated than ever, and the critical shifts required to break free from approval addiction, comfort, and coasting.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • Why most men are still unconsciously waiting for permission (and how to reclaim your power fast)
    • The hidden cost of comfort - and why it’s killing your fire
    • How approval-seeking is masking itself as ambition in your life
    • The #1 reason your circle might be holding you back
    • The moment everything shifts - when a man becomes a provider, not a taker

    If you feel like you're drifting - even though life looks “good” - this episode will hit deep.

  • The 7 Lies You Must Unlearn to Reach Your Peak After 40 - Ep #215
    Aug 7 2025

    You’re smart. Driven. Respected.
    But still stuck at 70%.

    You’ve built a life most men envy — the business, the house, the family.
    So why do you feel like you’re still falling short?

    In this episode, RISING KINGS founder Ben reveals the 7 lies that high-performing men over 40 must unlearn in order to finally operate at their peak in business, fitness, marriage, and life.

    These are the lies that keep men silently drifting…
    They nearly cost Ben his marriage. And they’re likely costing you more than you realize.

    Inside this episode:

    • The lie of “I’m doing it for my family” — and how it destroys presence and connection
    • Why you feel guilty when success comes easy (and how hustle became your identity)
    • The real reason you keep pushing the goalpost and never feel satisfied
    • Why being “better than most” is the most dangerous trap for successful men
    • How to shift from lonely leadership to Brotherhood-driven growth
    • Why your old playbook is now your ceiling — and what to do instead
    “Your success isn’t the issue. It’s the lies you’ve built that success on that are holding you back.”
