Episode #971

What if the very thing driving your success is keeping you from feeling fulfilled?

A lot of high-performing men are caught in the loop of "once I get this... then I’ll finally be happy." Sound familiar? Maybe it's sex, money, business goals, or even just recognition from your wife. But here's the thing: that finish line keeps moving.

In this episode, Tim and Arthur unpack a hard truth—chasing happiness through external validation never ends well. They share real stories from men inside the movement (including one powerful breakthrough around intimacy and fulfillment) and dig into why so many of us resist feeling content, even when we say that’s all we want.

You'll hear how being grateful doesn't mean giving up your edge, why internal validation is a more powerful driver than any goal, and how to make the shift from "pushed by pain" to "pulled by pleasure."

If you're tired of hustling without feeling like you’ve arrived anywhere, this one's for you.

Episode #970

Ever looked around at your life—good income, solid marriage, maybe even some investment wins—and still felt totally disconnected?

You're not alone.

A lot of high-performing men find themselves here. On paper, life checks all the boxes... but something feels off. That quiet frustration grows, and before long, you’re stuck in your head, spinning your wheels, and silently wondering, “Is this it?”

In this episode, Arthur Magoulianiti shares his raw and real journey from engineer to successful property investor to personal growth junkie—only to find himself lost and lacking purpose.
He opens up about the internal struggle he faced, the toll it took on his marriage, and the powerful transformation that finally pulled him out of the fog.

You’ll hear:

• What “being lost” really feels like (and why logic alone won’t fix it)

• Why consuming more books, podcasts, and motivation might be making it worse

• The surprising moment Arthur realized how much he had been judging himself

• How men unknowingly carry emotional weight that drains them

• What actually works when you're ready to reconnect with purpose, power, and passion

In this episode, you’ll learn how the feeling of being "stuck" isn’t a personal flaw—it’s a sign that you’ve outgrown where you are. Arthur’s story and lessons provide a roadmap for any man ready to shift from confusion to clarity, from burnout to energized purpose.

Episode #969

Why do high-achieving men so often feel stuck, numb, or just... off?

They've got the job, the house, the family—and yet inside, it’s like something’s broken.

That’s exactly what we unpack in this episode.

In this episode, Tim Matthews and Arthur Magulianiti pull back the curtain on the Alpha Reset—a powerful in-person experience that’s helped thousands of men stop spinning in their heads and start leading from a place of strength and authenticity.

You’ll hear what really happens behind closed doors during the Reset, and why men say it’s the first time they’ve truly felt alive in years.

We talk masks, emotional suppression, suicidal thoughts, the burden men silently carry, and what it means to stop proving and start leading—from the heart, not just the head.

From emotional breakthroughs to the quiet confidence that returns when a man drops the BS and owns who he is—this is a raw, unfiltered look at the journey so many guys are craving but rarely talk about.

Episode #968

Ever have a song take you back to a moment in your life—instantly?

That’s not just nostalgia. It’s your nervous system responding to sound.

In this episode, I sit down with Levi Goins, the man we call the “ranch wizard” at TPM—but today, we’re tapping into one of his true gifts: the healing power of personalized music.

Levi’s been quietly changing lives behind the scenes using custom music therapy tracks. We’re talking about music that’s actually designed to anchor you into the man you want to be—whether that’s the calm leader walking through your front door or the powerful father fully present with his kids.

We get into how sound affects your emotional state, how to create music that becomes a personal trigger for peace, presence, or energy—and why even guys with zero musical talent (like me) can do this.

This isn’t about learning an instrument. It’s about creating something that sticks with you, wherever you go, and gets you back to your best.

You don’t need a playlist. You need a personal soundtrack.

Episode #967

Ever feel like your body just doesn’t bounce back like it used to?

You’re not alone—and it’s not just about getting older. In this episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Phil Batterson, PhD in exercise physiology, to talk about something most guys overlook: recovery.

We dive into why your body might feel stiff, tired, or inflamed… even when you’re “doing all the right things.” The truth? Most men are overtraining and under-recovering. And that’s exactly why their results suck.

We break down how to build a fitness routine that actually fits your life, how stress is crushing your gains, and why things like sleep, breathwork, and protein matter way more than your fancy supplements or ice baths.

In this episode, you'll learn what an effective weekly plan looks like for the average high-performing man, why three days a week might be all you need, and how to structure recovery to actually feel better, not worse.

This one’s for the guy who’s grinding in business, trying to be there for his family—and still wants to feel like an athlete without burning out.

You don’t need to do more. You just need to do it smarter.

Episode #966

What if the biggest threat to your health isn’t your diet or your workout routine—but the shape of your cardiovascular system?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Phil Batterson, a VO₂ Max and cardio health expert, who also happens to be the guy that recently tortured me with a fitness test. And by tortured, I mean he showed me where I was really at.

We dig into what VO₂ Max actually means in plain English—and why it's one of the most powerful predictors of how long you'll live. Seriously.

This isn’t about becoming an elite athlete. It's about being able to chase your kids around the yard, keep up with your wife in bed, and not get winded during pickup basketball.

Dr. Phil shares why most guys are training wrong for their goals, how you can get way better results in way less time, and why individualized testing beats generic workout plans every single time.

In this episode, you'll hear how I got tested, what surprised me most, and what every man should be doing right now to take back control of their health.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to know where you are—and start.

Episode #965

Feel like you’re just going through the motions—with no real direction?

If you’re waking up each day wondering, “Is this it?”, you’re not alone. A lot of guys struggle with setting a clear vision for their lives and marriages. And when you don’t have one, you end up drifting... reacting instead of leading.

In this episode, Chris and I talk about why so many men avoid setting a personal and relational vision—and how to actually get started (even if you feel stuck or overwhelmed).

We break it down into a practical process that helps you define what you do want by first identifying what you don’t. From sex to shared goals, from where you live to how you connect—it’s all on the table.

We also share real stories from the Alpha Reset and how just six weeks after setting a vision, one man’s entire life shifted—including his marriage and where he lived.

This isn’t some fluffy “manifest your dream life” stuff—it’s a grounded, actionable approach to leading with clarity and creating the life and relationship you actually want.

Episode #964

When was the last time you actually had fun with your wife?

Not a “get dinner and talk about the kids” kind of night.
Not a “watch TV and pass out on the couch” evening.
Actual, flirtatious, playful, can’t-wait-to-get-you-alone kind of fun.

In this episode, Chris and I talk about something we don’t hear enough—fun. Specifically, how a lot of men have traded playfulness for predictability... and how it’s killing the spark in their marriage.

We unpack what it really means to become the Chief Fun Officer (CFO) in your relationship—not just with your kids, but with your wife and especially in the bedroom.

You’ll will get some creative (and hilarious) ideas for dates, flirting, and reigniting bedroom passion that feels more like play than performance.

This isn’t about being silly. It’s about being present and playful—the way you were when your relationship first started. Because when you’re having fun, she gets to feel desired, seen, and safe… and everything changes.
