    213: 45,000 Coaching Calls Later: The 3 Brothers Every Man Needs
    Jun 26 2026
    One day six men are going to carry your casket. Do you have those six men identified now? Joe Moffett has logged over 45,000 peak-performance coaching calls. He holds a master's in performance psychology, spent nearly a decade with Tony Robbins, served five years in the Marine Corps, and is now Chief Development Officer at Millionaire Man Cave. In December of 2024 he buried his father, and he was the only man out of the six pallbearers who truly knew him. In this conversation, Joe and Ted go deep on why strong men isolate when the weight hits, the difference between isolation and solitude, the 3 brothers every man needs (truth teller, confidant, ride or die), the 6 pillars Joe and his community use to build a man's life, why discipline beats conviction every time, and the single most dangerous three-word sentence in a man's vocabulary. If you're between 25 and 55 and you've been carrying something quietly — this one's for you. Key insights from this episode: Why men isolate when the weight hits (and what the enemy wants from it) Solitude vs. Isolation — one is intentional, one is bathing in the problem The 3 brothers every man needs: truth teller, confidant, ride or die The 6 pillars: faith, fitness, family, friendship, finances, fight The casket question — who are your six?

    212: He Built Yoga for 100,000+ Men. He Still Can't Feel Joy.
    Jun 19 2026
    He built one of the largest men's fitness movements online. He still can't feel joy. Dean Pohlman is the founder of Man Flow Yoga — a community that has helped over 100,000 men reduce pain, build functional strength, and reclaim their bodies. He's also the host of the Better Man podcast. On paper, he's the kind of high-performing man this show is built for. In this conversation, he opens up about the cost most successful men never talk about: the gap between looking like you have it figured out and actually feeling well. We go deep on aging, mobility, the 3x/week protocol that reverses physical decline after 35, the three big misconceptions that keep strong men weak — and then deeper, into self-worth, anxiety, and what Dean calls "courageous vulnerability." If you're a high-performing man in your 30s, 40s, or 50s — this one's for you. Key insights from this episode: The 3 misconceptions about yoga that keep strong men in painWhy your body breaks at 40 (and the 3x/week move that reverses it)Health span vs. lifespan: what every man should actually be training forWhy posture changes your mood, your hormones, and how others see youThe founder confession: what success doesn't fixCourageous vulnerability and the power of shared experience Chapters: 00:00 He built yoga for 100,000+ men.

    211: The Self-Made CEO: I Ate Ketchup Packets To Survive, Now I'm In 16 Countries! — Tim Rexius
    Jun 12 2026

    Tim Rexius went from sleeping in his car and eating ketchup packets to building 5 companies across 16 countries and ~60,000 retail locations — with zero outside investment. In this episode, he breaks down why he FIRED his own AI agent (98% response rate vs AI's 5%), how he's hit rock bottom 4 times and gotten more efficient each time, and how his protein popcorn brand beat the Kardashians.

    This one's for the man who's chasing success but feels isolated, overworked, and one wrong move from the edge. Tim's lived it — homeless at his lowest, a self-made operator at his peak — and he doesn't talk grit, he's scaled it.

    We get into:

    → Why rock bottom is the best foundation to build from

    → The "self-audit" every man needs to run on where his time actually goes

    → Why he flies to close deals in person in an AI world

    → Legacy over luxury — what your great-grandkids will actually say about you

    → How to make your passion your paycheck without going broke (again)
