“I’m a great dad… so why am I still losing it with my son?” In this powerful conversation, we unpack a question every high-performing man quietly wrestles with: Why do we keep repeating patterns we know aren’t serving us — as husbands, fathers, or leaders?

Most men don’t realize they’re grieving. They just know they feel stuck… disconnected… angry… numb… exhausted. They’re overworking, avoiding, blowing up—or shutting down. But underneath the addiction, the burnout, the conflict… is unprocessed grief. In this raw and powerful conversation, grief expert Joshua Wenner unpacks the hidden losses that men carry—losses from childhood, unmet expectations, relationship ruptures, business failures, and the identity shifts that come with fatherhood and

You can build the house, pay the bills, protect and provide—but if your wife doesn’t feel seen, and your kids don’t feel known, what are you really building? In this episode, Ryan Deiss opens up about the moment his marriage hit a wall… and the quiet heartbreak of realizing he had drifted from the people he loved most. It wasn’t burnout.

Different childhoods. Different wounds. One shared commitment: to raise boys who feel seen, safe, and strong. Some of us were raised on discipline. Others in silence. Some were praised only when we performed—others not at all. But no matter what we inherited, we all face the same question when we become fathers: Will I repeat what I came from, or will I build something new? In today’s episode, I sit down with Jenna and Brad Ballard—two parents building something they didn’t fully have growing up: a
