  • How to Get Out of a Rut, Pain and Boredom, and Knowing When to Quit
    Oct 30 2024

    Today, we’re diving deep into the subtle difference between a healthy routine and a rut. How can you tell if your daily grind is keeping you grounded… or just grinding you down?


    Next, we tackle the question of boredom: Why does it feel so unbearable, and could we actually be missing out on its hidden perks? Spoiler alert—boredom might just be the key to unlocking your most creative, inspired self.


    Finally, we confront one of life’s biggest dilemmas: When is it time to walk away, and when should you double down? Whether it’s a project that’s going nowhere or a relationship that feels like it’s on life support, we’ll give you insights on knowing when to quit and when to stick it out.


    Enjoy.

  • Keeping the Weight Off, Rewiring Your Brain with Psychedelics, and Finding Strong Male Role Models
    Oct 16 2024

    It's hard enough to change, but why it is so hard to maintain that change too? How might psychedelics facilitate big changes in our lives? And how can young men find healthy role models in the modern world?

    In this week's pod, we cover my current struggles around keeping a healthy diet and lifestyle, how psychedelics might actually scramble your brain (in a good way), and why so many young men are struggling to find a place in the world today.

    Enjoy.

Finally something actually helpful and not just self-help fluff.

They cut through the unhelpful self-help bs, and challenge you with harsh truths that everyone needs to hear to ACTUALLY make a positive change in your life and move the needle.

Richest Man in the Trailer Park!

It's like getting advice from that old drunk guy that never leaves the bar but somehow knows absolutely everything about everything! And, still calls ya a cocksuc!er every once in a while. Great stuff!
