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.

You’re smart. Driven. Respected.

So why do you feel like you’re still falling short?

• 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

You lead. You speak clearly. You provide. Yet no one truly listens anymore.
Your team misses deadlines. Your kids test your boundaries. Your wife feels distant.

It’s not a lack of authority, charisma, or clarity.
It’s something far more dangerous: Ghost Standards - the invisible gap between the standards you preach and the ones you actually live.

In this episode, Ben reveals: What Ghost Standards look like in real life

• Why your wife, kids, and team see straight through you
• How to close the gap between what you say… and what you do
• The reason your leadership feels ignored and how to rebuild real respect
• How to lead without yelling, force, or fake “authority” hacks
• Why your current circle might be lowering your standards without you even knowing

If you’ve ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not being heard or respected… this conversation will hit home.

Why do strong men struggle to lead at home, feel disconnected from their kids, and stay stuck in surface-level growth even when they’ve read all the books and done the work?

In this episode Dino from the We Evolve Together podcast and Ben from RISING KINGS collaborate again, diving deep into the unseen reason men in their 40s lose respect, presence, and purpose.

What they uncover isn’t another tactic—it’s a truth most men avoid:

Growth isn’t found in the grind. It’s found in the space you create for yourself and for others that allows you to navigate the challenges.

Inside, they explore:

• The real reason your wife and kids feel distant (even when you’re “showing up”)
• Why better questions unlock the clearest version of who you are
• How to stop rushing to fix everything and lead through presence instead
• The close bond inside RISING KINGS that men outside rarely experience
• How to reclaim your fire, identity, and soul-driven clarity without sacrificing your edge

Whether you're a father, husband, or business owner feeling like something’s “off” beneath the surface, this episode will hit you in the gut in all the right ways.

Most high-performing men don’t crash because they’re lazy — they crash because they’re operating from an identity that no longer fits the life they’ve built.

In this episode, Ben reveals the hidden force silently sabotaging men over 40 — a force more dangerous than burnout, and more common than you think.

It’s called Identity Drift, and it's the real reason successful men feel stuck, disconnected, and off-course... even when everything looks fine from the outside.

If your calendar is full but your soul feels flat — this episode will wake you up.

You’ll discover:

• The 5 warning signs you’re drifting (and how they show up at work, at home, and in your own head)
• Why most productivity hacks and mindset shifts don’t stick
• The “Have-More Trap” and how it keeps driven men stuck in a cycle of overworking and under-living
• The exact blueprint that’s helped 1,400+ founders, execs, and high-level men reclaim their clarity, energy, and edge

This isn’t a motivational pep talk.

It’s the mirror you’ve been avoiding.

And it might just be the most important conversation of your decade.
