  • You want to be a better man than you currently are. If that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t even be listening to this podcast. Regardless of where you are on your path and how you feel about how you show up in life as a father, husband, business owner, and/or community leader there is room left on the table for all of us to step up even more.


    My guest today, Nick Freitas, shares with us some insight onto how to do just that. Today, we talk about what “bad guys” get right, why, “happy wife, happy life,” is garbage, the role of women and men in family and society, harnessing masculinity for good purposes, addressing and dealing with your insecurities, and the difference between being a “good man,” and being, “good at being a man.”

  • You want a life you’re excited to live. That’s a given. But why does it continue to be so elusive? That’s a question my guest and good friend, Rick Trimmer, has spent the last 20 years of his life trying to answer. From building 12 highly-successful businesses to traveling the world with his family for the past decade, he knows a thing or two about what makes a person a success and how to make it so for the average man.

    Today, Rick and I talk about getting over what other people think of you, creating integration between professional and personal pursuits, how to identify what types of businesses to start, the ability to let the non-issues slide, the power of consistency and persistency, and, ultimately, how to build the life you desire.

  • Most men have never been in a fight in their life (or, at most, a handful). So, what does it take to enter the Octogon and make a 16-year career (and counting) of administering and receiving the brunt end of physical violence. It’s something my guest today, UFC legend, Jim Miller, has done. And, he’s brought us so many incredible moments in the world of professional MMA.


    Today, Jim and I talk about what it takes to fight for a living and why he believes he was built to fight. We cover some of the highs and lows of his career including his debilitating battle with Lyme disease and his recovery, how he shapes his training atmosphere for maximum results, how to win and lose with class and grace, ensuring he never puts himself into the victim role, and his immense respect for men who step into the cage with him.

  • “Tough” is an adjective we often associate with our perception of manliness. But in the relative ease of modernity, men are becoming increasingly soft and pathetic. Being tough is no longer amatter of survival but a matter of choice. And, why wouldn’t you choose to be tough? It’s rhetorical but why are so many men weak?

    My guest today, founder of MTNTOUGH, Dustin Diefenderfer is a man who knows what it means to be tough. He’s also training thousands of men to do the same though physical fitness that matters in the mountains and in everyday life. Today, we talk about the importance of brotherhood, the reason every man needs a purpose, passion, and plan, taking “tests” to quantify your progress, what he calls, “the 10-year rule,” the “Spartan Effect,” and so much more.

  • In this week's FRIDAY FIELD NOTES, Ryan Michler tackles the often-unspoken side of communication—the receiver's role. He unpacks the concept of a 100-100 approach, where both parties carry equal weight in ensuring the success of a conversation. He explores how being aware of the intended outcome can shape our understanding and responses, and why it's crucial to set personal and time boundaries for a respectful and fruitful dialogue. As he dissects these responsibilities, he also addresses the need to actively strive for comprehension rather than feign ignorance, shedding light on how these practices contribute to more meaningful interactions.

  • In this week's ASK ME ANYTHING, the news of OJ Simpson's passing hit the headlines, it set off a whirlwind of emotions and retrospection about the impact of celebrity and the justice system on society. Our latest discussion is an unflinching look at how we remember those who've led tumultuous lives, and the struggle to honor the departed while acknowledging their controversial legacies.

This episode is an open invitation to our listeners to consider the influence of conscience over fear.

  • If you’ve never experienced an anxiety attack, it’s hard to articulate the sense of fear and dread one can elicit. It wasn’t until earlier this year when I experienced an anxiety attack, did I fully realize how difficult it can be to understand and process.

We talk about destigmatizing men’s mental health issues, what anxiety truly is and how to curb it when it sneaks up, powerful mindfulness techniques to keep you present in the moment, SSRI’s for the use of anxiety and stress, and riding yourself of the shame that can be a primary driver of anxiety.

  • Most men live soft, sedated lifestyles. Then, they expect themselves to perform at the highest possible standard when life gets real. At best, they wonder why they can’t seem to get ahead in their personal and professional lives and, often, chalk it up to luck or poor external circumstances.

    My guest today, Bedros Keuilian, makes the case that only in adversity is a man revealed to himself and why it’s so crucial every man learns to develop the mental fortitude required to succeed in life. We also discuss the how the work we do in private shows itself in public, how to avoid the destructive drift of life, where vulnerability fits into the equation with men, what one question every man is attempting to answer for himself, Bedros’ idea of the “Karmic Bank Account,” and why the “covenant of the blood is greater than the water of the womb."

  • With so many false narratives, it’s easy to get caught up in deceit, deception, and destruction. We don’t intentionally go out seeking these thoughts, ideas, and concepts that will do damage, but they have a way of creeping into our lives all the same. That’s why it’s crucial that we remain diligent and steadfast in seeking the truth about the way we operate as men.

    Today, I’m joined by former pornstar turned preacher, Joshua Broome to talk about these lies and, most importantly, how to protect ourselves and our loved ones against them. We talk about the dangers in objectifying others, learning to be comfortable in our own skin, why money and fame won’t satisfy your soul, getting over the false approval of others, and why only you can be you (and, why that’s a huge advantage).
