Here is the status of all people. You are either in a storm (crisis, challenge, or stressful period of life), or you just came out of one. And guess what? Another is coming. You can count on it. So what can we do when we get a moment to catch our breath between storms?Most of our waking life is on auto pilot. We live unconsciously by our habits (good and bad) and they will take us to the easy,lazy, comfortable path if we aren't convincing our mind consistently to stay on track. So what happens

Communication is at the heart of all healthy relationships. Oftentimes, conflicts in relationships occur due to misunderstandings in communication. What others receive in our communication may not match the intended message. In this episode, we work through this common communication breakdown with practical tips to improvecommunication, resolve conflicts, and restore relationships.We address questions like:When the recipient of our communication is offended, and the relationship is strained or

Change is hard.Trying new things can be stressful. Being uncomfortable is, well, uncomfortable. In such situations, often our first response is, "I can'tdo it." Or, "That's crazy." And we talk ourselves out of taking action. That's normal because our brains are hardwired to pursue pleasure, comfort, and safety. So how can we beat this natural inclination and confidently do the new thing?For those of us who can become paralyzed by our fears of failure or loss of

Nobody likes to admit they have insecurities, but we all have them. Sometimes, we wear our insecurity like a badge and project our insecurity as humility. In this episode, Chad & Todd discuss the danger of wearing false humility as a maskfor insecurity. "Oh, I'm not good at that. I could never be this or do that," we say. But there is a huge difference between humility and insecurity. True humility is other-focused, while insecurity is self-focused. Further, humility is not the

So how can we confidently respond when faced with a difficult circumstance? Success favors the prepared, so how can we prepare for life's inevitable trouble? One answer is to ask, "What's next?" This is much better than the 'deer in the headlights' response that often hits us when we are surprised by the circumstance. It's a proactive response versus panic, despair, kicking rocks, or other passive and negative responses we often do. Another idea is to practice the OODA

What do I want my family to become? What do I want it to look like? How should it function? These are some questions we address today, but not in the way you might think. The truth is, tactics, tricks, and to-do's will not make your family great. We need to build ourselves into the type of person who can execute in such a way that my family responds in the positive ways we desire. This is leadership and mental fitness and it flies in the face of the common attitude most of us hold that what we

Family is important; nearly everyone will agree with that. But what are our responsibilities in the family? And why is family sometimes so hard?In this brief episode, we begin a discussion to address these questions that sharpen our convictions about family, particularly as men, husbands, and fathers. One thing we know for certain is that doing family well requires hard work and sacrifice. And if we are honest, there are times we don't feel like doing the work. What happens then is we transfer

"We don't make up our content as we go, we DISCOVER it as we go." - Todd Hatch Today, we discuss the idea of impostor syndrome. That's a fancy term for when we doubt our ability and often feel like a fraud and being exposed, especially when challenged to lead or do something we've never done before. But the reality isthat we are rarely "ready enough" for most anything hard. I mean, what is "ready" anyway? So are we using thisimpostor syndrome to

We know what needs to be done, but we find all the excuses to avoid and delay it. Am I right?Procrastination is stressful. While the thing we are putting off may seem stressful, it's also stressful to put it off. We end up stressing over not wanting to be stressed by the thing we are putting off.

We live in a time of incredible prosperity, opportunity, and choices that can be overwhelming. So it's pretty easy to find ourselves chasing after the next "thing" because there are many things to pursue. If we are honest, we chase, pursue, or strive after the thing because we expect it to satisfy our deepest desires. And when it doesn't satisfy (at least for very long), we chase after the next thing.So, is it possible to be content? And can we strive in a healthy way? I trust our

What is the most important responsibility or duty for a man? This is an important question, but one I bet many haven't thought about too much. So here we go. We're going to talk about it. One thing that trips us up from thinking beyond the surface level answers is that we tend to think of our lives as a series of goals to achieve. But perhaps there are some principles we can uncover to help us live on purpose and be the most impactful men we can be. PS Please check out my store via the links

Everyone experiences physical pain and emotional pain. There are healthy ways to deal with pain and not so healthy ways. Pain is often (but not always) a consequence of our behavior. We discuss this principle as it pertains to our health and the choices we make about how we take care of ourselves. While not all physical pain can be avoided, we can be proactive to give ourselves the best chance to minimize it. Further, the idea of practicing hard things can prepare us for the unexpected hard things

Chad shares a personal story to follow up on the last episode's subject about the Chinese farmer. I find it humorous how quickly the subjects we talk about here play out in real life. We tackle the subject of trials and temptations and the power of our choices. Our nature is to blame others or circumstances for our trials and troubles, but the truth is we always have a choice in how we respond.

I often say, "That's lame." when something unfortunate occurs. It's a lazy way to judge a circumstance as bad. But in the proverb of the Chinese farmer, we are challenged to withhold our judgement that a situation is good or bad in the moment, but rather accept it as is because we don't know the consequences in the future. It's an interesting thing to think about, so watch how Todd and Chad unpack this idea as it relates to our mental fitness. PS Please check out my store

Kicking off the new year with a hard hitting lesson on forming healthy habits with some encouragement for the common mistakes we make in deciding our goals and ambitions. Drawing on principles from Covey's Seven Habits and Clear's Atomic Habits, we discuss how our habits form our identity and vice versa. Reframing our internal dialog to say, "I'm the type of person who _____." is a powerful exercise to help us become the person we hope to be.To take the guesswork out of healthy eating, consider
