Grit Meets Growth ·

2025/11/19

Today’s conversation starts with a simple question: What are we talking about? And it turns into something bigger—something we’ve been seeing everywhere. Men who feel stuck. Men who feel adrift.

Finding True Freedom in Being Real - Episode 116

Grit Meets Growth ·

2025/10/08

We talk a lot on this podcast about grit, about living on the edge of your comfort zone, about pushing yourself through the uncomfortable to grow. Today, we’re going deeper. We’re talking about what happens when the hustle and performance become masks, when we hide behind being “fine” instead of being seen for who we really are. This episode is about vulnerability, authenticity, and the courage to take that mask off. Growth doesn’t happen when we’re pretending to have it all together. It happens

Comfort is Expensive, Here’s What It’s Costing You -...

Grit Meets Growth ·

2025/09/10

We’re back, and today we’re diving into a subject that sits at the core of Grit Meets Growth—comfort. It’s been nearly a year since we dedicated an entire conversation to it, but if you’ve listened for a while, you know this theme surfaces often. We believe growth begins at the edge of your comfort zone, and while the world tells us to chase comfort, the truth is it comes with a hidden cost. Comfort feels safe, but it can quietly rob us of progress, purpose, and fulfillment. In this episode, we’re

Every time we hit record on this podcast, there’s always that half hour before—the raw, unfiltered conversation—that feels like the best part. This time, it was about seasons changing, kids heading back to school, routines shifting, businesses rolling into budget season, and all of us feeling that turbulence. In the middle of that swirl, we started talking about purpose, fear, and what it means to actually go for it—not just coasting through life, but making real choices that align with who we

In this episode, we’re taking last week’s conversation on why staying the same is easy and why it’s killing your growth, and pushing it further. We’re diving into a powerful, uncomfortable question: What are you tolerating in your life?From toxic relationships to weak boundaries, from bad habits to the excuses you’ve made a dozen times, these are the silent drains on your energy, purpose, and potential. We’ll talk about the cost of tolerating mediocrity, how your tolerances teach the world how to

Staying the same is easy. It’s cozy, it’s familiar, and it doesn’t ask much of us. But what if that comfort is quietly holding you back from who you’re really meant to be? In this episode of the Grit Meets Growth podcast, we’re diving into the tug-of-war between comfort and growth. From personal stories about stepping out of the air-conditioned house into the heat, to breaking old habits that no longer serve us, we’re talking about what it takes to stop tolerating the status quo and start chasing

This episode is all about priorities—how they shift, how they shape us, and how we sometimes get them wrong before we get them right. We unpack what it means to live with intention, why peace and purpose matter more than hustle and grind, and how redefining success can change everything.

In the last episode, we talked about the importance of betting on yourself — showing up with boldness, taking risks, and owning your story. But after we wrapped, something kept tugging at us. There’s a shadow side to betting on yourself: going it alone. This episode is all about the lone wolf mindset — the belief that strength means isolation, that you have to carry the weight on your own to earn respect. It’s a lie we’ve been sold, especially as men, and it’s costing us deeply. Today we’re talking

Grit Meets Growth ·

2025/05/07

Today we’re throwing down a challenge: growth without purpose is just movement. We’ve both lived seasons where we were grinding like hell—busy, burned out, and headed in the wrong direction. Titles, hustle, long days on the treadmill… all of it looked like success from the outside, but inside, we were drifting further from what actually mattered. In this episode, we talk about what happens when you stop chasing empty goals and start aligning your growth with your purpose. This isn’t about flashy
