What No One Tells You About Love, Aging & Fulfillment .

The Truth About What Actually Makes You Happy,

When Ambition Loses Its Grip — And Love Takes Over ...

The Shift Every Woman Feels (And Men Eventually Catch Up To)

This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, I sit down with Andrew Strassner, Marriage & Family Therapist (MA, LMFT) — and someone I’ve known for over 15 years.

We talk about what actually matters as you get older.

When you’re younger, it’s about achievement.

After 40, it becomes about connection.

We unpack the quiet shift that happens with age — success, relationships, identity, and the lessons life only teaches you after you’ve lived a little.

Honest. Grounded. Real.

If you’re rethinking what you’re chasing, this episode will hit.

I chased girls, money, and status. After 40, I realized fulfillment comes from connection — not success.

Girls, gold, status.

That was the scoreboard for most of my life.

The chase. The validation. The lifestyle.

On paper, it looked like success.

Then I turned 40 — and everything changed. In this episode of The Three Mantras, I talk honestly about the moment I realized that the things I spent years chasing weren’t the things that actually fulfilled me. I’m not here to shame ambition or desire — I lived that life fully.

But somewhere along the way, I discovered something deeper: connection. Presence. Meaning. Peace.

I never thought I’d be the guy talking about real life being more than status, money, or who you’re seen with… but growth has a way of humbling you.

This conversation is about evolution — especially for men who’ve “made it” and still feel like something’s missing.If you’ve ever hit your goals and wondered why it didn’t feel the way you expected…

If you’ve lived fast and now feel called to live real…

This episode is for you.

In Part Two of our deep-dive on Dating, we go beyond the symptoms and into the system that’s quietly shaping how people experience love today. From social media illusions and curated “perfect relationships” to the emotional patterns that drive romantic obsession, approval-seeking, and attachment wounds, this episode breaks down what real, healthy connection actually looks like. We explore the difference between love, need, fantasy, and addiction—and how young people in particular are being conditioned to confuse attention for intimacy. If you’ve ever wondered why modern relationships feel harder, faster, and more fragile, this conversation may change the way you see love forever.
