Michael sits down with Ian Koniak, President and Founder of Untap Your Sales Potential, to talk about the battles every man faces—and how to win them. Ian gets real about the struggles with addiction, the constant pressure to achieve, and the price men pay for chasing success at the cost of their integrity, health, and relationships. He breaks down how to reclaim your discipline, purpose, and masculine edge by rewiring your mindset, cutting out the BS, and living with unshakable commitment. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re running on empty, chasing the next high, or numbing out to distractions, this episode is your wake-up call. Time to level up.
