• Revisit: A Balanced Approach to Health: Fitness, Business, and Lifestyle

  Episode #1069 In this revisit episode, Doug sits down with former gym owner and coach David Sherban to talk about what actually works when it comes to building a healthy lifestyle, especially for busy business owners and dads who've let fitness slide. This isn't about hacks or crash diets. It's about taking small, doable steps that actually stick. David shares how to make health and fitness a part of your life without giving up the things you enjoy. They cover simple strategies for building momentum, getting out of pain, managing stress, and making food choices that feel normal, not restrictive. If your back hurts, your energy's low, or you've just lost that drive you used to have, this episode will help you get back on track without overcomplicating it. You'll hear why trying to go hard out of the gate usually backfires and how building a solid foundation, just like in business, is the real key. Doug and David also unpack how things like sleep, inflammation, and even peptides play into your overall vitality. It's a laid-back but focused conversation for guys who want results without needing to overhaul their whole life overnight. If you want to feel strong, clear-headed, and like yourself again, this one's worth a listen.

• Trust, Betrayal, and Rebuilding: Navigating Relationship Challenges

  Episode #1068 If you've been cheated on or you're the one who broke the trust, this episode breaks down what to actually do next. Doug and Chris get real about what betrayal looks like inside a marriage, the shame that often comes with it, and how most men either shut down or avoid dealing with it head-on. They talk through how to stop sweeping things under the rug, the exact first steps to take when trust has been broken, and why just moving on doesn't work. You'll hear about the Clean Slate Method, why taking ownership (even when it feels unfair) is key, and what micro-commitments actually look like in real life. If your wife feels distant, if you're walking on eggshells, or if you're the one carrying guilt, this episode will help you see the path forward and it starts with showing up differently than you have before. You'll learn why consistency matters more than big promises. The truth is, most guys try to fix the problem the wrong way and it only pushes her further. Doug and Chris explain what rebuilding trust really looks like day-to-day. They also break down the difference between being needed and being wanted by your partner. And you'll hear why her testing you isn't a bad sign, it's actually your window of opportunity. Want a simple step-by-step breakdown on how to fix what's broken in your marriage?

• Avoiding the Divorce Trap: Insights and Strategies for Men

  Episode #1067 Divorce doesn't usually come out of nowhere. Most guys just don't see the signs until it's too late. In this episode, Doug and Chris talk honestly about what really leads to divorce and why so many men are blindsided by it, especially after the holidays. There's a reason January is known as "divorce season." While you're focused on work or coasting through the holidays, your wife may already be checking out or meeting with a lawyer. This conversation unpacks how good men end up in bad spots, and what to do now if your relationship feels off. Doug shares what emotional safety actually means, how to tell if your wife's already on her way out, and why most divorces that start "amicable" don't stay that way. They also get into why nice guys who avoid conflict often miss the biggest warning signs. If you've ever thought "she'd never leave," this is one you need to hear. The truth is, women usually leave emotionally long before they file papers. And by the time most men realize it, they're in cleanup mode. That doesn't have to be you. If your marriage feels stuck or your wife seems distant, now's the time to act. Not after she's already made up her mind. Want to stop the slow drift before it turns into divorce?

Just a clear place to start.

• The Art of Being You: How Authenticity Leads to Success

  Episode #1066 Ever feel like you're switching hats all day? One minute you're the leader at work, the next you're the dad, then the husband, then the problem-solver. And somewhere in all that, you start to lose track of who you really are. In this episode, Doug and Chris talk about something most men never admit: how trying to show up differently in every area of life is draining you. Not just physically, but emotionally too. And the worst part? Most of us think we're doing it for the people we love. This conversation cuts through the noise and gets real about why so many men feel disconnected, anxious, or just plain off. You'll hear practical ways to stay grounded, reset your mindset between roles, and stop hiding behind the story that "this is just what it takes." If you've ever told yourself "I'm doing this for my family" but know deep down you're running on empty, listen in. There's a better way to lead without losing yourself in the process. Want to learn how to lead at home the same way you lead at work—without sacrificing your sanity?

• Revisit: Breaking Patterns: Real Talk on Trauma and Personal Growth

  Episode #1065 If you've ever felt like you're repeating the same arguments, blowing up or shutting down in your relationship, or avoiding the real conversations that need to happen, this episode will hit home. Doug and Coach Chris talk honestly about how trauma from your past shapes how you show up today. Not in a therapy-session kind of way, but in the real-life stuff—how you react when you're triggered, how you protect yourself, and how easy it is to blame everything on your wife or your situation. They share personal stories about the patterns that used to run their lives and how they started doing the work to shift them. It's not about being perfect or "fixing" yourself—it's about taking responsibility and learning to lead. This is a real conversation about emotional armor, getting triggered, and why most men wait until it's too late. If you're tired of surface-level advice, this is where you start getting honest. If you're ready to stop spinning in circles and start leading at home, go get the free training here: https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales It's straightforward, actionable, and where a lot of men begin.
