JON ACUFF | Ditch Regret and Tap Into Potential Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Regret is often used to self-sabotage and retreat into sorrow and victimization. But it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, regret can be leveraged as a powerful tool to accomplish your most challenging objectives moving forward. Unfortunately, too many men wallow in regret and defeat instead of learning how to tap into their massive and almost unlimited potential. Today, I am joined by threepeat guest, Jon Acuff, to talk about regret, potential, goal planning, and success. We discuss pursuing small versus large goals, the power of becoming what Jon calls a, "handle maker," using discernment with regards to the self-development information we consume, the proper response to the, "must-be-nice," crowd, why you should avoid calling your problems, your problems, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Writing content that will resonate in multiple spaces
Focusing on your "best moments" instead of your worst
We naturally gravitate toward accomplishments, experiences, relationships, or objects
Navigating the overwhelming amount of self-improvement advice and content
Easy goals vs. hard goals vs. guaranteed goals
Set up tactics or easy goals along the path to your big goals
The best response to "it must be nice"
The hills pay the bills
Unless you are keeping score, you have no idea where you are on the path

SETH AND MELANIE STUDLEY | The Anatomy of Marriage Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

Some of the most common questions we receive (and this has been consistent over the past 8 years) is how to make a marriage work. And, with the breakdown of my own marriage over the past year, it's clear to me more than ever how hard the union between two people can be. But that doesn't mean it's impossible and it doesn't mean it isn't worth pursuing. The benefits of marriage are plenty including the shared responsibilities, the fulfillment found in service to another, and the growth that must take place in order for a marriage to work. Today, I'm joined by Seth and Melanie Studley who focus on helping couples work through their marital challenges and create a thriving relationship. We talk getting back to the basics, the growth vs. fixed mindset, why men must cast vision, common mistakes in marriage, how to recognize the tests of women, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Marriage therapy vs. marriage coaching
Women unconsciously (and consciously) test men
Actually getting on a better path instead of just manipulating
Taking extreme ownership in your marriage
Erecting appropriate boundaries
Creating a shared vision for your marriage
You have to be willing to fight
Making changes for the right reasons
You need to clearly communicate what you want
We need affirmation

AJ RICHARDS | Fixing Our Broken Food Supply Chain Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

With roughly 97% of the population eating meat, it's mind-blowing that 85% of the American meat supply chain is in the hands of four corporations, two of which are foreign. What's also disturbing is the deliberate manipulation of beef prices, the rise in food intellectual property (IP) in the form of GMO food solutions and fake meat products grown in a lab, and the regulatory constraints placed on small cattle ranches trying to make our food supply chain more robust and secure.

My guest today, AJ Richards, is leading the charge when it comes to a new way to deliver beef to the American consumer directly from the ranches themselves in order to cut out the excess cost, regulation, manipulation, and build out a stronger, more diverse supply of food. Today, we talk about the crumbling food supply chain, our import to export dilemma, overcoming the monopolies of food producers, why homesteading in America is once again growing, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

City slicker turned rancher
Losing farms is national security issue
Beef supply chain is controlled by 4 major companies
Creating an Uber or AirBnb for meat
Inspiring the next generation of ranchers
Keeping the family engaged and interested
Meat distribution should be regional, rather than national
Let the local economy dictate the price
The dangers of opposing the establishment
