    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.

    You don’t have to figure it out alone. We made this free training for guys who want real change. Start here: thepowerfulman.com/scales

    Because once you see the truth, you can't unsee it—and that’s where things shift.

  • 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.

    It’s not about working harder—it’s about knowing what to work on.

  • Episode #963

    What if the fear of rocking the boat is exactly what's sinking your relationship?

    Too many men are quietly stuck—avoiding tough conversations, tiptoeing around decisions, and hoping things somehow just…get better. But that hesitation? It’s costing you your peace, your leadership, and the connection you crave with your wife.

    In this episode, Chris Hansen and I get real about what’s actually holding men back. We dig into how fear shows up in marriage, how indecision slowly erodes intimacy, and why taking back leadership doesn’t mean being a jerk—it means showing up.

    You’ll hear stories from real coaching conversations where men were scared to set boundaries, afraid to commit to change, or just stuck in that familiar “messy middle.” We break down the identity traps, the ego plays, and the excuses that keep men stuck—and what to do instead.

    Whether you're feeling stuck in your marriage, your career, or your own head—this one's for you. It's time to stop sitting on the fence and start stepping into the man you know you're capable of being.

    She used to look at you like you were her world. Want that again? It starts here → thepowerfulman.com/scales

    You can’t fake connection—but you can rebuild it, stronger than before.

  • Episode #962

    When’s the last time your wife gave you that look—the one that says, “I want you”?

    If it’s been a minute, you’re not alone. A lot of married guys find themselves in that same spot… and yeah, it probably means your Sexual Market Value (SMV) isn’t where it used to be.

    In this episode, Coach Chris and I unpack what SMV actually means for men in long-term relationships. And no, it’s not just about being in shape or dressing sharp. It’s about the way you carry yourself, how much self-respect you have, and whether you’re still showing up like the man she was once drawn to.

    We also get into the difference between real confidence and just going through the motions. A lot of men don’t even realize how far they’ve drifted until they either catch a glimpse in the mirror—or hear some hard truth from another man. If you’ve been thinking, “I’m doing everything I should… so why does she seem checked out?”—this conversation might hit close to home.

    You’ll hear how to start rebuilding that quiet, steady confidence that naturally draws people in—especially your wife. We’re not talking gimmicks or trying to be someone you’re not. Just simple, real-world actions that help you feel solid in your own skin again. And it all starts with self-respect—not chasing approval.

    So if you’ve been feeling kind of invisible at home, and you’re ready to start leading with presence and purpose again—yeah, this one’s for you.

  • Episode #961

    Ever feel like you're tiptoeing around in your own house?

    You’re doing everything you can to keep things calm—avoiding conflict, keeping quiet, trying not to rock the boat. But deep down, it’s eating at you. And here's the tough part: that silence? It might be making things worse.

    In this episode, I’m talking with Coach Chris Hansen from our Navigate program about something a lot of guys wrestle with—setting and holding boundaries in their relationships. We get into why it's so damn hard, and how avoiding it usually just leads to more resentment, distance, and disconnect at home.

    This isn’t some high-level theory talk. We get into real stuff—actual examples of what setting a boundary really looks like, and how to do it without blowing everything up.

    We talk about why your wife might not be taking your boundaries seriously—and how to shift that. We also get into the difference between a boundary, a want, and an agreement. (Hint: mixing those up? It causes way more problems than you think.)

    One of the biggest takeaways? Most guys are accidentally teaching their wives to ignore them—and it’s not because they’re weak or passive. It's just a pattern they've never noticed. But one honest convo (the kind we usually avoid) can change a lot.

    We wrap it up by looking at what actually creates respect and connection—and no, it’s not raising your voice. Vulnerability, done right, changes everything. When you start showing up differently, the whole dynamic starts to shift.

    So if you’re sick of feeling like your needs don’t matter, or like you’re always coming in last—this one’s worth a listen. You’ll walk away with some clear tools to start leading your relationship with more clarity, confidence, and calm.

    What if you could get it back? The respect. The love. The intimacy. Watch this: thepowerfulman.com/scales

    It’s not out of reach—it’s just been out of focus.

  • Episode #960

    Ever catch yourself staring in the mirror thinking, “This can’t be it… right?”
    That quiet pull, like there’s gotta be more to life—but you’re not even sure what “more” means anymore?

    Yeah. You’re not the only one.

    In this episode, we get into what a lot of people call a midlife crisis—but we see it differently. We call it a midlife awakening.

    Steve and Mark, two of our Alpha Reset coaches, join me for a real conversation about what it actually looks like to hit that wall… and then move through it. These guys have walked with a lot of men through some serious turning points, and they don’t sugarcoat it.

    We dig into:

    The silent weight a lot of men carry around without even realizing it

    Why reading all the self-help books in the world won’t move the needle unless you’re willing to get uncomfortable

    What it means when your “little boy” shows up in your marriage—and why your wife feels it even if you don’t

    How most men are chasing a “dream life” they’ve never actually defined

    And yeah… we even talk about a guy who had a realization about his own ashes that completely changed where he chose to live—while he was still alive

    This one’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about waking up to what’s real—and maybe starting to live like you mean it.

    So if you’ve been saying “livin’ the dream” with an eye roll and a tired laugh… might be time to find out what your real dream actually looks like.

    It’s free. It’s simple. And it might just shift everything for you. Watch it here: thepowerfulman.com/scales

  • Episode #959

    Ever feel like you're doing everything “right” but still not getting what you want—from your wife, your business, or even yourself?

    In this episode, I sit down with Gary, known in The Powerful Man community as the Gentle Warrior. He opens up about how he went from being the classic “nice guy”—quiet, accommodating, but secretly frustrated—to a man who leads his life with purpose, clarity, and confidence.

    This isn’t a story about a perfect turnaround. It’s about doing the real, messy work. Gary gets honest about the anger and shame he didn’t even know he was carrying, how he woke up to the truth of a marriage built on obligation, and why ending it was the most loving thing he could do for them both.

    But the most powerful shift? He stopped trying to earn love—and started showing up as a man who already knows his worth. And that’s when everything changed.

    We talk about what it’s like to be seen and respected by other men, how community accelerates growth, and why volunteering at the Alpha Reset hit him harder than his own Reset did. You’ll also hear the unexpected way he met the love of his life—when he wasn’t even looking.

    In this episode, you’ll get a front-row seat to what it really looks like when a man stops hiding, owns his story, and finally takes the lead—not just in his relationship, but in every area of his life.

  • Episode #958

    What happens when two of our top coaches stop coaching—and step into the Alpha Reset as participants?

    That’s exactly what Mike and Neil did.

    In this episode, they open up about the resistance that came up before the Reset, what it took to drop the ego, and what it really means to lead from the front—not just for others, but for themselves.

    Mike shares the moment he FaceTimed his wife right after it ended. She just stared at him, smiling.
    “You look different,” she said.
    “I like this Mike.”
    That moment? That was the result. Right there.

    Neil’s story is quieter—but just as powerful. He didn’t come home and give a big speech. He didn’t have to. His son just felt it. The calm. The shift. The safety. No words needed.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    What it looks like when high-level coaches stop leading and start doing the deeper work

    Why emotional safety is a game-changer—for your marriage and your kids

    The real reason so many men blame their wives (hint: it’s not about her)

    How showing up differently creates a ripple effect across your entire home

    This isn’t about theory. It’s about doing the work—especially when no one’s watching.

  • Episode #967

    What happens when a man hits his limit... and decides not to fold?

    In this episode, I sit down with Eric and Weston—two guys who went through the Alpha Reset and came out the other side different men. Now? They’re giving back and helping other men do the same.

    We get into what brought them to The Powerful Man, how their marriages shifted, and what they really discovered about themselves along the way.

    Weston opens up about how hard it was to actually connect with his wife—even though the love was there. And Eric? He was ready to walk away from 25 years of marriage, hoping a new car or a bigger paycheck would fix the emptiness. (Spoiler: it didn’t.)

    Here’s what you’ll hear in this one:

    What finally got these guys to stop pretending everything was fine

    The internal tug-of-war a lot of Christian men feel in marriage

    Why being truly seen by other men changes everything

    What it’s like to walk into a Reset one guy... and leave someone else entirely

    How volunteering after the Reset brought even more clarity and growth

    Truth is, most men are silently struggling, thinking they're alone. They’re not.

    This episode dives into what happens when you drop the guilt, shame, and anger—and finally lead from a place of honesty and strength. You’ll see why so many men say the Alpha Reset was the turning point. Not just for them, but for everything.

  • Episode #956

    Why do so many men struggle in silence when it comes to mental health? And more importantly, what can we do about it?

    In this episode, I sit down with Sean Stiller, a psychotherapist with over 16 years of experience, to tackle the tough conversations around suicide, depression, and hopelessness—topics that impact more men than we often realize. Sean breaks down the common misconceptions surrounding mental health, the warning signs to watch for, and, most importantly, how to shift from feeling hopeless to finding real hope.

    We also dive into:
    ✔️ Why high-achieving men often struggle with depression
    ✔️ How our beliefs and identity can unknowingly trap us in pain
    ✔️ The subtle (but powerful) mindset shift that changes everything
