Episode #1031 Feeling stuck trying to figure out your purpose or what's next? You’re not alone. In this episode, we dive into the real-life tension that comes when your work no longer feels aligned, but walking away from it all doesn’t feel right either. Doug sits down with Austin and Alan at the TPM Ranch to talk about the difference between obsessive and harmonious passion, why so many men chase identity through career, and what it really looks like to find purpose that fits the life you want. You’ll hear how both men wrestled with their own questions around passion, family, and fulfillment and how small mindset shifts helped them see what they were missing. It’s a reminder that you don’t need to blow everything up to build a life that feels meaningful. Sometimes, it’s about reconnecting to what actually matters to you and getting honest about what’s in the way. They also share stories, practical tools, and real conversations on how to reconnect with what brings you joy. Whether you need a full career shift or just a spark in your current role, this conversation will help you stop spinning your wheels and start getting clear.

From Self-Love to Brotherhood: Lessons from TPM Ranch
Episode #1030 In this episode, Doug sits down with two longtime TPM members at the end of an unforgettable event at the TPM Ranch.

Finding Your Frequency: Aligning Love and Personal Growth
Episode #1027 In this episode, we sit down with two TPM men to talk about what it really looks like to start a new relationship after doing the work on yourself. We unpack what changes when you show up with clarity, confidence, and your own life already in alignment. They share honest stories about how their relationships shifted—not because they followed some script or played games, but because they focused on being real, doing their inner work, and raising their own standards. Whether you're newly single, dating again after a divorce, or trying to figure out what a healthy relationship even looks like, this one will help you get grounded. We talk about red flags, energy, attraction, long-distance dynamics, and how being present (with your partner, your kids, and yourself) changes everything. This isn’t about chasing “the one.” It’s about becoming someone who doesn’t need a relationship to feel whole—but is open to one that adds to the life you've already built. Want to go deeper? Get the free training on how to reset your relationship, rebuild trust, and become the man your partner is naturally drawn to again. https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales

Beyond Beers and Golf: The Real Conversations
Episode #1026 Most guys stick to surface-level friendships, talking sports, work, or the usual weekend plans. But deep down, there’s a part of you that’s craving more. Real connection, honest conversation, and support from other men who actually get it. In this episode, we’re recording from the TPM Ranch during the Legends Event with men who’ve done the inner work and keep showing up for each other. We talk about what it’s actually like to build friendships where you can drop the act, say what’s really going on, and not get judged for it. The guys share how these bonds didn’t just happen. They were built, rep by rep, by showing up even when it felt uncomfortable. If you've ever thought, “I don’t have any men in my life I can talk to like this,” this one’s for you. We talk about what to do when you feel isolated, how to start small, and why just taking one small risk to connect could change everything. Want to go deeper?
