    EP227: Rene Sonneveld - Why Men Need Other Men In Their Lives
    Dec 17 2025
    "The night before battle, warriors would check each other for wounds. That's what a good men's group does." Men aren't designed to carry everything alone. Strength isn't built in isolation—it's forged through loyalty, shared struggle, and honest reflection. When men try to solve life entirely in their own heads, pressure compounds. Expectations rise, purpose blurs, and silence becomes dangerous. Brotherhood isn't a luxury; it's a stabilizing force that keeps a man grounded, accountable, and connected to who he really is. Throughout this conversation, the importance of male circles becomes unmistakable. Men need other men who can tell them the truth, challenge their blind spots, and hold space when life hits hard. Success—financial or otherwise—doesn't translate into wisdom everywhere else. Without peers who understand the internal weight men carry, even the most accomplished lives can quietly unravel. Rene Sonneveld is a family enterprise advisor, leadership coach, and legacy specialist who works with high-performing families and business owners around the world. His work focuses on identity, trust, belonging, and the unseen dynamics that determine whether families—and the men within them—thrive across generations.

    EP226: George Rivera & Michael Santonato - How To Buy Your Time Back
    Dec 10 2025
    "I just want to focus on what I love doing, what lights me up, what brings me joy." A man who wants his freedom back must first learn where his time is leaking. Most entrepreneurs stay overwhelmed because they confuse being busy with being effective. This episode leans into the principles behind reclaiming time—cutting low-value noise, raising the value of your hours, and deliberately structuring life so your business stops owning you. George Rivera and Michael Santonato explore what it really means to shift from "doing everything" to doing only what moves the needle. George walks through the mindset of eliminating, automating, and delegating, while Michael reveals the tension between his mission and the low-value tasks holding him back. Together, they illustrate how buying back time isn't theoretical—it's tactical, measurable, and deeply tied to how a man shows up for his family, his money, and his purpose. George is a 30-year entrepreneur responsible for more than $400 million in sales, now devoted to helping men escape the trap of being cash-rich but time-poor. Michael is a financial educator and advisor focused on helping people become financially indestructible. Both bring lived experience, honesty, and practical strategies for reclaiming your time and redirecting it toward what matters most.

    EP224: Justin Montgomery - Addicted To Knowledge
    Nov 26 2025

    "Build a business that works for you instead of you building a business that you have to work for."

    A man can choose to become who he wants to become, not who his environment programs him to be. Ambition, discipline, and relentless learning can transform a man's trajectory. Developing strength isn't just physical or financial; it's the ability to outgrow the limits of your childhood, elevate your standards, and build a future that reflects who you intend to be.

    Justin Montgomery began with every disadvantage but refused to inherit the mindset around him. He leaned into knowledge, skill-building, and the courage to reinvent himself repeatedly—from nursing to entrepreneurship to a multimillion-dollar exit. His story reveals how men can build careers that work for them, not the other way around, and why mastery, mentorship, and niching down are essential for power and prosperity.

    Justin is a nurse practitioner turned entrepreneur who scaled a professional education business into an eight-figure exit by age 39. Today, Justin mentors professionals at ProCourseStart.com, helping them build scalable, niche online course businesses that produce wealth and freedom.

    EP223: David Ask - Encouraging Men To Win
    Nov 19 2025
    "Everything in this entire world… rises and falls on male leadership." Strong male leadership shapes families, communities, and culture. When men show up with conviction, clarity, and responsibility, everyone around them rises. But when men avoid truth, hide from challenge, or drift without identity, the whole system breaks down. This conversation dives into the principles that help men reclaim strength: accountability, brotherhood, self-awareness, and the courage to confront what needs confronting. David Ask shares how growing up around loyal, hardworking men gave him a foundation—but comparison and uncertainty still dragged him down for years. He explains how discovering his God-given identity changed everything, and why calling men up, not just out, can transform their confidence. His work centers on helping men see the greatness inside them and step into authentic authority. David is a facilitator with Iron Sharpens Iron and a mentor to men seeking clarity, purpose, and spiritual grounding. His approach blends encouragement, emotional intelligence, and challenge to help men become who they were built to be.

    EP222: Blake Watkins - The Goliath Code
    Nov 12 2025
    "What happens is when we trip and fall, we start acting like who we used to be rather than who we are. It's so important for us to recognize who God says we are and to proclaim that." Every man faces giants—habits, fears, and doubts that keep him from living with conviction. The Goliath Code lays out a battle plan rooted in spiritual warfare: knowing who you are, where you stand, and what armor you carry. The fight isn't against people; it's against the unseen forces trying to pull you back into bondage and away from your mission. Blake Watkins reveals how David's confrontation with Goliath holds a timeless roadmap for men today. Through his "G.O.L.I.A.T.H." acrostic—Geography, Opponent, Labels, Intrepid, Aim, Truth, Hardware—he breaks down the mindset and spiritual posture required to face modern giants like addiction, fear, and passivity. His message reminds men that courage begins in identity, and victory begins in Christ. Blake is a professional engineer turned minister, author, and teacher. After decades in both corporate life and ministry, he now helps men reclaim their purpose through faith, discipline, and unwavering spiritual strength.

    EP221: Tony Cohen - Becoming Resilient
    Nov 5 2025
    "When you've been through a bunch of stuff like your mom dying at seven years old, you become somewhat resilient to a lot of things. I mean, pain is just pain." Resilience is born from struggle—not comfort. It's forged in the moments when life takes something from you and you have to rebuild, harder and wiser than before. From childhood loss to standing on his own at nine years old, Tony Cohen's life shows that hardship isn't the enemy; it's the teacher that builds backbone, grit, and purpose. Tony Cohen shares how the pain of isolation and early loss shaped his strength, how learning to fight back against bullies led to confidence, and why controlled aggression—channelled through boxing or Krav Maga—can help men reclaim their edge. He speaks about failure, rebuilding, and how resilience isn't found in privilege but in persistence. Tony is a master Krav Maga instructor, entrepreneur, and founder of FeelSafeDaily, a platform teaching real-world personal safety and empowerment. His story is one of self-reliance, purpose, and the kind of masculinity built through earned strength.

    "There's nothing more manly than putting in a good day's work and seeing the fruits of your labor." The world tells young men to chase degrees, screens, and easy comfort. But fulfillment doesn't come from theory—it comes from effort, grit, and creating something real. True confidence is earned when a man learns to build, fix, and contribute with his own hands. Michael Cappa turned a summer job into a multimillion-dollar trades business and a brotherhood of young men learning self-respect through skill. His story shows how mentorship, craftsmanship, and courage forge purpose—and how working in the trades can transform more than just a bank account.
