In this episode, Mark Santiago shares his "7 Laws of Problem-Solving," a framework developed from his experience as a coach and business owner. These laws guide individuals in addressing both personal and relationship challenges:

1. Not all problems need to be solved.
2. Not all problems need to be solved now.
3. Problems are agnostic - they don't care who you are.
4. Problems are meant to help you grow as a leader.
5. Solving problems is a game of sequence - solve the right problems at the right time.
6. Problems are challenges meant to help you grow.
7. Don't solve problems that haven't been created yet.

Mark applies these principles to relationship issues, emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes rather than just symptoms. He shares a story about a client who regained power in his relationship by making the right decision to stay rather than leave.

Highlights:

• How to discern which problems to tackle first
• Understanding emotional disconnection in relationships
• The significance of doing inner work and setting healthy boundaries

Mark also provides practical advice for listeners, like Nate, who are dealing with complex relationship issues such as infidelity. He encourages focusing on personal growth and healing before moving forward with new relationships.

                                                      In This Episode, Mark and Joey discuss the topic of disempowerment and the cycle it creates. They discuss the impact of inflection points in relationships and the stories we tell ourselves. They explore the tendency to blame external factors instead of taking ownership and the allure of short-term fixes. They also provide empowering questions to break the cycle and choose complete healing over temporary solutions, as well as:

                                                      • Being present with your emotions
                                                      • The blame and shame climate of the world
                                                      • The concept and importance of community and connection
                                                      • Choosing complete healing over quick fixes
                                                      • Vulnerability is true power

                                                      • Men often come into groups seeking validation for their pain, rather than actively seeking help to improve themselves.

                                                      In This Episode, Mark discusses the danger of randomly evolving due to one's environment and lack of intentionality. He highlights how small goals and urgent battles keep you stuck and disconnected from your future self. Mark also emphasizes the need to be in the arena of life and not just shout from the sidelines. He also explains why success can often be the catalyst for failure and why one's focus should be on becoming an empowered man internally rather than just seeking external success, as well as:

                                                      • Being unaware of your environment leads to random evolution

                                                      In This Episode, Mark discusses the danger of randomly evolving due to one's environment and lack of intentionality. He highlights how small goals and urgent battles keep you stuck and disconnected from your future self. Mark also emphasizes the need to be in the arena of life and not just shout from the sidelines. He also explains why success can often be the catalyst for failure and why one's focus should be on becoming an empowered man internally rather than just seeking external success, as well as:

                                                      Today Mark is looking at the positive side of taking control of YOUR  life. What can YOU do to become an empowered man? Mark shares his journey of staying up late till 2am most mornings when he didn’t have his kids in the aftermath of his divorce, creating Empowered Man. He’s encouraging us to start a side hustle if you are struggling to get by. YOUR journey of healing starts with trusting the Empowered Man process and a $27 buy-in. If you can’t afford that, then you are doing the wrong work. You are paid commensurate to your value — so create more value. 

                                                      Are you locked in a ‘reactive mode’ cycle? If you’re not planning your life and simply REACTING to whatever happens in your day, you are living a disempowered life. Mark is reminding us that looking in the mirror each morning and feeling powerful is what really matters — not the TESLA or the nice house. And if YOU are looking for strength to help you begin YOUR transformation, then the Empowered community of like-minded men is where you will draw that strength from.

                                                      Today Mark is looking at the positive side of taking control of YOUR  life. What can YOU do to become an empowered man? Mark shares his journey of staying up late till 2am most mornings when he didn’t have his kids in the aftermath of his divorce, creating Empowered Man. He’s encouraging us to start a side hustle if you are struggling to get by. YOUR journey of healing starts with trusting the Empowered Man process and a $27 buy-in. If you can’t afford that, then you are doing the wrong work. You are paid commensurate to your value — so create more value. 

                                                      Are you locked in a ‘reactive mode’ cycle? If you’re not planning your life and simply REACTING to whatever happens in your day, you are living a disempowered life. Mark is reminding us that looking in the mirror each morning and feeling powerful is what really matters — not the TESLA or the nice house. And if YOU are looking for strength to help you begin YOUR transformation, then the Empowered community of like-minded men is where you will draw that strength from. Get your time and priorities straight, starting NOW.

Mark is an Empowered Man, providing us with the framework we all need to ACTUALLY do the work. You're not going to become a 'Boo Hoo Cry Heart' just because you do the emotional work. We're not teaching you to kiss butterflies and sh!t unicorns. 

                                                      You can still be a "tough guy" - it's about healing yourself first, though, so you can do the work on yourself – and then the relationship. It's not about venting or being miserable, either. Your misery loves company, and your venting is just verbal vomiting that isn't productive when it comes to actual growth. Today we're providing the framework YOU NEED to make lasting change – not just SEX after a good conversation. Become the Empowered Man you are meant to be. Let's get to work!

                                                      When men are in pain, they look for the CULPRIT. They look for the REASON they’re in pain, and someone or something to BLAME. They think things like “Who did this?!” and “SOMEONE needs to PAY for what I’m experiencing right now!” They look for the person or thing they can attribute their pain to. It feels EASIER to funnel pain into one person or thing than look holistically at what is really going on.

                                                      Women are looking for EMPOWERED men, men who take RESPONSIBILITY for their actions and own their sh*t. But there is one huge mistake that Mark sees men making over and over again when they are faced with divorce. This mistake leads to them being WEAK and not showing up as LEADERS in their lives. In this episode, Mark shares what that mistake is and shows you how to NOT make this mistake in your own life. Find out why leaders SERVE, and why nobody can help you unless you are HONEST with yourself.

                                                      Co-parenting with a toxic ex. It’s a tough one. The marriage or relationship is dead, and the person you were with is not the same person you married, but when there are kids involved, things can get complicated. We don’t want to do this, but often, we don’t have a choice. So how exactly do you navigate co-parenting with a toxic ex?

                                                      Co-parenting isn’t always as simple and straightforward as you might like it to be, especially if your ex-wife is toxic and narcissistic. In this episode, Mark shares why it can be so hard to manage these situations, and his three best examples of how to co-parent with a toxic ex. Find out why you can be friendly with your co-parent without being friends and what has helped Mark be successful in his own co-parenting experiences with his ex-wife in times when things have been incredibly toxic.

                                                      When your wife cheats on you, it is PAINFUL. It is OVERWHELMING. It HURTS. You may not know what to do or where to turn. But getting HURT and DEALING with it are two different things. You can deal with her affair in a HEALTHY way, or you can deal with it in a CHILDISH way; it all depends on which type of man you are. So are you a WEAK man or are you a REAL man? How are YOU going to deal with this situation?

                                                      Infidelity doesn’t have to be the be-all-end-all of a marriage breaking down, but it is usually a SYMPTOM of what’s underneath. In this episode, Mark is focusing on what REAL men do and what WEAK men do when they find out their wife is having an affair. Find out three things you MUST do if your wife is cheating or has cheated on you and some things that absolutely WON’T help you in your situation. Whether you stay together in your marriage or get divorced, what Mark is teaching you this week will be sure to help.

He had been facing difficulty in the marriage and communication issues, and when she filed for DIVORCE, he didn’t know where to turn. He could have easily gone down the path of self-pity and stayed there. He could have gotten BITTER and BLAMED her, but he DIDN’T. He took CONTROL of his life and joined Thrive.

                                                      John is not defined by his marital status, he is defined by HIMSELF. As a former client of the Thrive Program, he is here to show you why YOU can face whatever situation you’re in right now, as long as you keep taking steps FORWARD. Tune in this week to hear John’s story, what happened in his marriage, and why he decided to join Thrive.

                                                      So… your wife wants space. Now what?! When a woman says she wants space, what we hear as men is that we’re no longer GOOD ENOUGH. We’re no longer her PROTECTOR, she no longer feels SAFE, and that scares the f*ck out of us. But what does it actually mean when your wife wants space? 

                                                      When your wife wants space, it means the marriage you had is OVER. It is OVER. But here’s the good news: you can create a NEW marriage with her. But you need to STOP trying to fix her, STOP letting your insecurities f*ck you up, figure out what YOU need to do to own your sh*t, and START doing the work. This week, Mark shows you the REAL reason your wife wants space, what that means to you, and what you should REALLY be doing in this situation. He’s showing you how to STOP focusing on what your wife is doing or not doing, and start focusing on YOURSELF to figure out what’s best for you.

                                                      So… your wife wants space. Now what?! When a woman says she wants space, what we hear as men is that we’re no longer GOOD ENOUGH. We’re no longer her PROTECTOR, she no longer feels SAFE, and that scares the f*ck out of us. But what does it actually mean when your wife wants space? 

                                                      When your wife wants space, it means the marriage you had is OVER. It is OVER. But here’s the good news: you can create a NEW marriage with her. But you need to STOP trying to fix her, STOP letting your insecurities f*ck you up, figure out what YOU need to do to own your sh*t, and START doing the work. This week, Mark shows you the REAL reason your wife wants space, what that means to you, and what you should REALLY be doing in this situation. He’s showing you how to STOP focusing on what your wife is doing or not doing, and start focusing on YOURSELF to figure out what’s best for you.

                                                      The community you put yourself in dictates, shapes, and molds who you are. Your environment is EVERYTHING. Who you surround yourself with RIGHT NOW and where you are putting yourself is EVERYTHING. So you have to be ULTRA careful about the people you put around you. You need to be INTENTIONAL about your COMMUNITY.

                                                       Think about the community you grew up in, the community you live in now, and the people you’ve always had around you. Do they EMPOWER you? Do they help you THRIVE? Or do they bring you DOWN and hold you back? YOU have the opportunity to grow into the most empowered version of yourself, but if you are hanging around with disempowered, disenfranchised people, you are NOT growing; you are STAGNANT. This world needs men that have come ALIVE, so what are you waiting for? In this episode, find out the POWER of community and how to STOP playing small and START playing large.

It is more comfortable to speak about what SOMEONE ELSE is doing and less comfortable to speak about what YOU are doing. But you are a KING, and what you focus on expands. So are you choosing to allow her to still control you, or are you going to RECLAIM your control and PROTECT your kingdom?

Get ready to STOP sitting on the fence, make your decision, and build a fortress of boundaries around your kingdom so you can start showing up as the KING you truly are.

In your relationship or marriage, there is ONE thing you can do that will make your wife lose trust: you PROMISE to do something, and then you DON’T do it. Then when she turns around and wants a divorce, or you find out she’s cheating, you’re awakened to the REALITY that your life is not how you thought it was. Why? Because you did not HONOR your commitments. You IGNORED what she had to say. You IGNORED your commitments.

                                                      You CAN’T expect your wife to come back to you or stop having an affair if you aren’t willing to commit to the process. You have to be a better man for YOU, not for HER. In this episode, Mark shows you why you need to STOP blaming HER for your problems, commit to the PROCESS, and start doing the WORK. Find out what will happen if you keep on failing to do what you said you were going to do, and the one thing you need to do if you want to fix your marriage. It is NOT okay for you to break commitments. It is NOT okay to say you’ll do something, then do something else. When you do this, you WILL push your wife away. Find out exactly why in this episode.

They think everything is fine, life is going great, and then all of a sudden, she turns around and says she doesn’t want to be married anymore. And what do they do?

That’s just ONE scenario that Mark is sharing this week as he answers YOUR questions from the Empowered Man Facebook group.

                                                      - LinkedIn -Something that Mark sees all the time is grown-ass MEN falling all over themselves for a WOMAN. They think everything is fine, life is going great, and then all of a sudden, she turns around and says she doesn’t want to be married anymore. And what do they do? They start thinking about all the BAD sh*t they did, feel guilty for EVERYTHING they did wrong, and they LOSE it trying to get her to stay. That’s just ONE scenario that Mark is sharing this week as he answers YOUR questions from the Empowered Man Facebook group.

                                                      There are certain questions that appear in the Empowered Man Facebook group all the time, so Mark has chosen THREE of them and is answering them in this week’s episode. Mark is NOT here to tell you what to do, he’s here to help you build a NEW foundation, and INSTRUCT you to think through things so you can learn how YOU should be approaching life. Are YOU ready to feel more empowered and in control? Learn how to harness the ENERGY of a situation and use it to catapult your own personal growth so YOU win no matter what.

What happens when that doesn’t help? You try couples counseling and individual therapy and feel like your wheels are spinning. You’re rehashing the past – but you’re not going anywhere. Where do you go, and what do you do?

                                                      In this episode, Mark commiserates with men in this position because he’s been there. But he’s also figured out where to go when it’s time to get a Return On Investment on all those tears. The Empowered Man will teach you how to harness your masculinity and learn to start hitting the ‘me’ button and stop hitting the ‘she’ button. Becoming the CEO of your life starts here!

We suck at DEALING with them, and we suck at letting other people in. There is something in the male DNA that says if a guy can figure it out on his own, he’s a REAL man. But this week, Mark is showing you why that is NOT the case. 

                                                      VULNERABILITY is one of the SEXIEST aspects to women. They want to know that you’re not just some strong leader, but you’re also a man of HEART and somebody who can be VULNERABLE. So WHY are so many men still closing themselves off from their wives and dealing with sh*t ALONE? It’s time to change. In this episode, Mark is calling you INTO manhood and showing you why YOU have what it takes to make a change.

                                                      ]]>As men, we think there is no reason to be vulnerable or open ourselves up because we SUCK at emotions. We suck at DEALING with them, and we suck at letting other people in. There is something in the male DNA that says if a guy can figure it out on his own, he’s a REAL man. But this week, Mark is showing you why that is NOT the case. 

                                                      VULNERABILITY is one of the SEXIEST aspects to women. They want to know that you’re not just some strong leader, but you’re also a man of HEART and somebody who can be VULNERABLE. So WHY are so many men still closing themselves off from their wives and dealing with sh*t ALONE? It’s time to change. In this episode, Mark is calling you INTO manhood and showing you why YOU have what it takes to make a change. Find out why so many men SUCK at relying on other people, and how to STOP seeking validation for transformation and START taking control of your life.

These decisions don’t just happen overnight, they are usually the last resort. This week on the show, Mark is joined by a woman – and not just ANY woman – the most special woman he knows: his WIFE, Amy Santiago. Amy has remarried but joins Mark this week to talk about her experience of divorce. MEN, take note: she didn’t WANT to get a divorce, she would RATHER have stayed married, but it ultimately wasn’t possible.

                                                      Amy had a marriage that was rocky, full of toxicity, and one that fell apart as a result. This week’s episode is a great case study of what you guys should NOT be doing if you want to create a new marriage with your wife. Tune in to hear Amy’s overview of her first marriage and the demise of it. You’ll learn what she feels were HER responsibilities in the failure of the marriage, what she really wanted from her husband that she never got, and her advice to all you men out there whose wives are wanting to separate or get a divorce.

This poor communication and lack of leadership and ownership are contributing to the BREAKDOWN of your marriage. Mark sees so many men going through this, so this week, he's doing something he has NEVER done on the show before, and he’s tearing down a reality TV relationship breakdown between Kim and Barry Plath from Welcome to Plathville. 

                                                      It doesn’t matter if the show is real or not. In the scene Mark shares, Kim tells Barry how she FEELS, and he does not know how to listen to her or make her feel heard and understood. This is so common among men who come to Mark for support and it HAS to change. Listen in this week to hear a step-by-step breakdown of the conversation between Kim and Barry, how Barry SHOULD have responded, what he’s doing WRONG, and what he needs to do to fix it. And if you think this sounds like you, hear how to apply Mark’s advice to YOUR relationship.

                                                      “If you don’t take the opportunity to listen and help her feel heard and understood, you are blowing it. You are losing your chance to be better.”

Brevity is a CONCISE and EXACT use of words in writing or speech. So often, we’re used to explaining ourselves, we WORD VOMIT and we overspill. But with no CLEAR direction of your words, you cannot hope to save your marriage. Being MESSY with your words is not serving you. You need BREVITY.

                                                      This week, you’ll hear another of Mark’s favorite episodes, where he lays the foundations of BREVITY. Brevity is LEADERSHIP and choosing your words CAREFULLY is key to being an EMPOWERED man. Using BREVITY will make you a safe space. Using BREVITY will make your wife feel HEARD. Using BREVITY will disarm toxicity. If you have hit a fork in the road and know you’ve got to make decisions, you need to listen in this week.

                                                      - LinkedIn -Do you use BREVITY in your marriage? Brevity is a CONCISE and EXACT use of words in writing or speech. So often, we’re used to explaining ourselves, we WORD VOMIT and we overspill. But with no CLEAR direction of your words, you cannot hope to save your marriage. Being MESSY with your words is not serving you. You need BREVITY.

                                                      This week, you’ll hear another of Mark’s favorite episodes, where he lays the foundations of BREVITY. Brevity is LEADERSHIP and choosing your words CAREFULLY is key to being an EMPOWERED man. Using BREVITY will make you a safe space. Using BREVITY will make your wife feel HEARD. Using BREVITY will disarm toxicity. If you have hit a fork in the road and know you’ve got to make decisions, you need to listen in this week. Mark is diving deeper into the power of BREVITY, showing you when you should use it and when you shouldn’t, and explaining how to use brevity to create a NEW marriage.

He has dedicated the rest of his life to helping men improve their marriages and joins Mark on the show this week to show you how to STOP wrecking your marriage and START becoming a high-value husband.

There are various studies and evidence that list the reasons why people have problems or issues in their relationships, but this ONE trait is behind them ALL. And this week’s guest joins Mark to share what that is, and how to see if it is showing up in YOUR relationship.

                                                      David Frey has been marketing for 22 years, but after the discovery of a genetic disease in 2013, he realized that he has a FINITE amount of time left on this planet and he wants to spend it doing something worthwhile. He transitioned to become a marriage coach and he now helps people in what he believes is the most important thing in their lives: their MARRIAGES and relationships. He has dedicated the rest of his life to helping men improve their marriages and joins Mark on the show this week to show you how to STOP wrecking your marriage and START becoming a high-value husband.

                                                      “As men, we judge what one person does as worse than what we do. We hit the ‘she’ button instead of the ‘me’ button.”

We’re an introvert, we’re divorced, we’re weak. But this is a DANGEROUS thing to do. You are not just ONE thing. There is a source code of qualities and attributes available to you, and using The Alter Ego Effect can help you tap into these. This concept can help you play BIGGER, get out of your own way, and be the man you truly want to be.

                                                      Last week Mark welcomed Todd Herman onto the podcast, and this week you’ll hear part two of their conversation, where Mark and Todd dive deeper into the concept of The Alter Ego Effect. Todd shares the history of the concept, how it has helped HUNDREDS of thousands of people throughout history, and some proven, science-backed tweaks and methods YOU can use to start shifting results in your own life right now.

                                                      “You don’t have to do everything differently to become an alter ego. Just pick one thing and start with that.”

We invest in things all the time. Yet, MEN struggle with investing in themselves not just financially but in a lot of ways. When going through a tough time, most guys choose to read, watch videos, or sit around and hope that their problems will disappear instead of investing in a company or someone who can help them. They haven't realized there’s a cost to freedom – it isn't FREE. 

                                                      Fixing something costs something. It’s a process. Every moment you make a decision, there’s an opportunity cost attached to it. So just think about it, what are your choices costing you right now? If you're tired of just being good and you’re FINALLY willing to invest in yourself to become an empowered man, then this episode is for you.

                                                      “A man that asks for help and is willing to invest in that help says something about what he values.”

                                                      ]]>Freedom is NEVER free. We invest in things all the time. Yet, MEN struggle with investing in themselves not just financially but in a lot of ways. When going through a tough time, most guys choose to read, watch videos, or sit around and hope that their problems will disappear instead of investing in a company or someone who can help them. They haven't realized there’s a cost to freedom – it isn't FREE. 

                                                      Fixing something costs something. It’s a process. Every moment you make a decision, there’s an opportunity cost attached to it. So just think about it, what are your choices costing you right now? If you're tired of just being good and you’re FINALLY willing to invest in yourself to become an empowered man, then this episode is for you.

                                                      “A man that asks for help and is willing to invest in that help says something about what he values.”

                                                      - Do you understand the concept of opportunity cost? What are your choices costing you right now?

                                                      - What are you willing to invest in exchange if you want to have confidence, power, and freedom?

                                                      - When spending money on something, are you truly investing in your future, or are you just masking the pain?

                                                      - HERE are some steps to begin investing in yourself

                                                      - Men have five POWER zones. Looking at each of them is the first thing we do to help you…

There is not enough information out there about what a WOMAN does and how SHE should show up in the marriage, something this week’s guest knows all too well.

                                                      Teresa Young is the founder of The Respected Man, and she helps women understand that, yes, SEX and RESPECT are important for MEN in relationships but that, as a woman, you should also ADMIRE the man you love. It’s not about losing your identity or allowing him to dominate your life, but admiring him for who he is. She joins Mark on the show this week to share how she believes she burned THREE marriages to the ground, where she FAILED, and how it led her to search for how she could show up as a better WIFE. Hear the ONE thing she did to cause her marriages to break down, and her advice to men facing separation and divorce.

If someone asks you a question, that will lead you to give some sort of response. If they ask the wrong QUESTION, they get the wrong ANSWER, and if they ask the RIGHT question, they’ll get the RIGHT answer. It’s THAT simple. So what is the difference between a DISEMPOWERING question and an EMPOWERING one?

                                                      Asking the wrong question comes from a place of SHAME. It disempowers us, and it is UNHEALTHY. But you can flip a question on its head and ask it in a DIFFERENT way and this can leave you feeling EMPOWERED. This week, Mark is sharing some examples of disempowering questions and how to replace them with the ones that will turn you into the man you TRULY want to be. It’s time to STOP focusing on what you’ve lost, START focusing on what you have to GAIN, change your language, and change your LIFE.

                                                      - LinkedIn:Questions lead to answers. If someone asks you a question, that will lead you to give some sort of response. If they ask the wrong QUESTION, they get the wrong ANSWER, and if they ask the RIGHT question, they’ll get the RIGHT answer. It’s THAT simple. So what is the difference between a DISEMPOWERING question and an EMPOWERING one?

                                                      Asking the wrong question comes from a place of SHAME. It disempowers us, and it is UNHEALTHY. But you can flip a question on its head and ask it in a DIFFERENT way and this can leave you feeling EMPOWERED. This week, Mark is sharing some examples of disempowering questions and how to replace them with the ones that will turn you into the man you TRULY want to be. It’s time to STOP focusing on what you’ve lost, START focusing on what you have to GAIN, change your language, and change your LIFE.

                                                      
                                                      

                                                      “Nobody can change anything by asking WHY.”

Can you IMAGINE your marriage falling apart before your eyes and not being able to do ANYTHING about it? That’s what happened to this week’s guest and his story is PHENOMENAL.

                                                      Cameron recently graduated from the Empowered Man program and came to the program seeking someone to TALK to and help him TAKE OWNERSHIP of his life.

But you can CHOOSE how you want to respond to things. Are you a VICTIM or a VICTOR? Whether you are experiencing separation or divorce, you do NOT have to let it DESTROY you. YOU are responsible for your own happiness, and who you are as a MAN and a LEADER comes from only one person: YOU. This week, Mark is showing you why understanding this will enable you to live from a place of FREEDOM.

                                                      Maybe you don’t have what it takes to save your marriage, but you DO have what it takes to face whatever situation you’re in head-on. Not sideways, not flinching, not looking around; HEAD-ON. How you respond to things is YOUR choice. In this episode, Mark is challenging you to find your identity, and show you why YOU are responsible for your own happiness. Learn why true happiness and joy lie within YOU and how to STOP allowing other people’s actions to dictate your happiness.

They might try to get smarter, or fitter, or do ALL the things, but the problem is they are doing the WRONG things. Doing all of the WRONG things is NOT going to bring your wife back. You need to listen up this week.

                                                      If your marriage is failing, it’s easier to blame HER than own your sh*t and accept YOUR responsibility. But you need to STOP looking externally for blame, START looking within, and START taking ownership of your life. There are certain things you HAVE to stop doing if you want to save your marriage, and in this episode, Mark shares 5 steps to saving your marriage.

You need to listen up this week.

                                                      If your marriage is failing, it’s easier to blame HER than own your sh*t and accept YOUR responsibility. But you need to STOP looking externally for blame, START looking within, and START taking ownership of your life. There are certain things you HAVE to stop doing if you want to save your marriage, and in this episode, Mark shares 5 steps to saving your marriage. Hear three main ways men LIE to themselves when going through separation or divorce, and learn how to put yourself in a POWERFUL position to bring your wife back.

Do you have a poverty mindset? You may never have thought about the idea of a poverty mindset; you might not even know what it is. But a poverty mindset tells you that you’re not good enough, that you are ALWAYS going to struggle, and that things will ALWAYS be this way. It leads to disempowerment. Having a poverty mindset DESTROYS relationships, and it is NEVER too late to choose yourself, and embrace life.

It has NOTHING to do with HER, and EVERYTHING to do with YOU. Ego is about humiliation, not humility. It’s about shame, false hope, lust, and wishful thinking. It isn’t always bad, because it is there to protect you from bad things. But in its dysfunction, it can become bad. When it comes to how you feel about your marriage, you need to ask yourself: is it LOVE or is it your EGO?

                                                      The concept of the EGO has been around forever, but modern-day psychology talks about it in a different way. This week, Mark shares what EGO looks like as a man, how it plays a part in all the things you do, and the danger of it. Discover why the job of the ego is to PROTECT you, your values and ideals, and how to equalize it to bring more BALANCE into your life.

Owning your sh*t requires you to take responsibility. It requires you to STOP blaming others, and detach emotionally from the outcome of the things you want. If you want to be a man that gets results, that truly LEADS, you need to learn to detach from the outcome. Are you willing and ready to do the work on YOURSELF?

                                                      Detachment is KNOWING the goal and understanding what you WANT, but emotionally detaching from the CONSEQUENCE; the RESULT. As an empowered man, THAT is where you need to be. In this episode, Mark is showing you how to detach from the outcome of WHATEVER you want in your life and sharing the number one thing you have to STOP doing if you want to work on yourself. If you want true TRANSFORMATION, you need to level up and Mark is here to help you do this so you can become the LEADER of your own life.

                                                      “Our kids need men who are leaders. They don’t need men who are so afraid of making a decision that they can’t move forward.”

                                                      ]]>Owning your sh*t is a LIFESTYLE, not a one-time thing. Owning your sh*t requires you to take responsibility. It requires you to STOP blaming others, and detach emotionally from the outcome of the things you want. If you want to be a man that gets results, that truly LEADS, you need to learn to detach from the outcome. Are you willing and ready to do the work on YOURSELF?

                                                      Detachment is KNOWING the goal and understanding what you WANT, but emotionally detaching from the CONSEQUENCE; the RESULT. As an empowered man, THAT is where you need to be. In this episode, Mark is showing you how to detach from the outcome of WHATEVER you want in your life and sharing the number one thing you have to STOP doing if you want to work on yourself. If you want true TRANSFORMATION, you need to level up and Mark is here to help you do this so you can become the LEADER of your own life.

                                                      “Our kids need men who are leaders. They don’t need men who are so afraid of making a decision that they can’t move forward.”

Mark welcomes two incredible guests to the podcast, who serve people just like YOU. They are preaching the same message of EMPOWERMENT as here at Empowered Man, it just so happens that these guys do it as a power couple.

                                                      Tommy and Desnekka help couples go from ROOMMATES to TEAMMATES in 8 weeks through their program Marriage 2.0.

Tommy and Desnekka share the importance of BOUNDARIES and why you can THRIVE in marriage despite being total opposites. They share some questions to ask yourself if you are looking for CLARITY, and how to do the work required to create a NEW marriage.

Maybe you lost your job. Maybe your teenager is acting up, or something is going on with your wife and family. Whatever it is, you can’t afford to panic. No matter WHAT is coming at you, you cannot afford to panic.

                                                      When you FREAK OUT, and you PANIC, it costs you time, money, resources, and relationships. It doesn’t solve the problem. If you want to overcome the obstacle of divorce and separation, you need to develop an awareness of the TRAUMA you have not dealt with. You need to understand your REALITY to act from a place of love and strength. In this episode, Mark shares the ONLY way to overcome feelings of panic, and three quick, easy steps you can take to move through feelings of panic and fear to become the man you WANT to be.

                                                      “Doing the work is BECOMING the work. It’s taking the words and knowledge and BECOMING them. You cannot stay in panic, fear, or sadness. You have to move on.”

When we are shakeable inside, we don’t know how to show up. But if you want to be an empowered man, you have to be a leader. And true, great leaders know their role. True leaders are UNSHAKEABLE.

                                                      Being an unshakeable leader doesn’t mean having the answer to everything, but that you own your sh*t when you do. In this episode, Mark shares a real-life sports example where a dude had ICE in his veins; a story of a dude that was truly UNSHAKEABLE. Hear a three-part strategy to help YOU become unshakeable and learn how to stop sitting on your ass and waiting for sh*t to happen, and start putting yourself in the most POWERFUL position possible.

                                                      ]]>Can you imagine knowing instinctually where you’re supposed to go, what you’re supposed to do, and what you’re meant to say without having to think about it? When we are shakeable inside, we don’t know how to show up. But if you want to be an empowered man, you have to be a leader. And true, great leaders know their role. True leaders are UNSHAKEABLE.

                                                      Being an unshakeable leader doesn’t mean having the answer to everything, but that you own your sh*t when you do. In this episode, Mark shares a real-life sports example where a dude had ICE in his veins; a story of a dude that was truly UNSHAKEABLE. Hear a three-part strategy to help YOU become unshakeable and learn how to stop sitting on your ass and waiting for sh*t to happen, and start putting yourself in the most POWERFUL position possible.

                                                      “Set the target. Take Action. Detach from the outcome.”

Life is about choices, and here’s the thing, YOU get to CHOOSE the perspective you want to have in ANY area of your life. So instead of blaming your wife, the market, or anybody else for YOUR shortcomings, get your sh*t FIXED and choose a different perspective. YOU get to choose what you want and what you become; that is the power of perspective.

                                                       This week, Mark is showing you how to choose an EMPOWERED mindset instead of a DISEMPOWERED one and sharing his own experiences of choosing a perspective that did not allow him to waste his pain, become disempowered, or wither away. Mark chose to become STRONGER and is sharing three tools to help you understand the power of perspective, so you can do the same.

We see it as a problem, and something that needs to be fixed. But when you look at your separation or divorce and only see the problem, you fail to realize that it is actually an opportunity.

                                                      Too many of you are so HURT and so ANGRY when you go through a separation or divorce that you don’t know how to take action. But the philosophy Mark shares today is so impactful that you should be applying it in EVERY aspect of life. Mark is showing you how to look at your problem for what it actually is, how he applied this work in his own life, and how to turn these obstacles into opportunities in your life.

You can be a GREAT husband if you choose to be, and you can have an AMAZING life if you choose to, regardless of your circumstance or what she’s doing. When men focus on saving themselves, their marriages get saved at a much higher rate.

You need to stop LYING to yourself, because the more honest you are, the more capacity you have for truth. It’s not your FAULT you have a bad relationship, but it is your RESPONSIBILITY. In this episode, Mark shares five things to think about with regards to influencing your marriage and what a good marriage TRULY boils down to.

                                                      “Fault indicates shame, responsibility indicates leadership. When we lack leadership in our marriage, we have bad marriages.”

As a husband and father, you are already a leader, but this week, you’ll find out the specifics behind what it really takes to be a GREAT leader.

                                                      Leadership to most people is about being in charge and telling people what to do. And YES, leadership does have an element of this, but it isn’t all about being the BOSS. It’s about your ability to impact other people, situations, and make a change. The amount of influence and the amount of impact you have over others dictates how much LEADERSHIP you truly have. So ask yourself, are YOU a strong leader? In this episode, hear what TRUE leadership begins with, the importance of accountability, and how to own your sh*t with yourself, other people, and your future.

                                                      “You must be able to keep yourself accountable. You must be responsible to yourself. That is true leadership.”

As a husband and father, you are already a leader, but this week, you’ll find out the specifics behind what it really takes to be a GREAT leader.

                                                      Leadership to most people is about being in charge and telling people what to do. And YES, leadership does have an element of this, but it isn’t all about being the BOSS. It’s about your ability to impact other people, situations, and make a change. The amount of influence and the amount of impact you have over others dictates how much LEADERSHIP you truly have. So ask yourself, are YOU a strong leader? In this episode, hear what TRUE leadership begins with, the importance of accountability, and how to own your sh*t with yourself, other people, and your future.

                                                      “You must be able to keep yourself accountable. You must be responsible to yourself. That is true leadership.”

You as a man is very different from you as a father, husband, or leader. When all is stripped away and there is just YOU left, what do you REALLY think about yourself?

                                                      As a man, you have to know what you WANT. You have to know what you NEED. And you have to articulate these to connect emotionally with the people around you. When a man can’t articulate his NEEDS, he can’t connect with ANYBODY, and that sh*t is not healthy. In this episode, Mark shares what it means to show up as a MAN and how to make sure you are LIVING, not just EXISTING. Find out why so many men don’t know what they NEED and how owning your sh*t as a man will change how you show up in EVERY other area of your life.

And this week, we’re talking about you as a FATHER. It’s time to consider what YOU need to change about YOU if you want to be an example for your kids.

                                                      Owning your sh*t isn’t just about the mistakes, it’s about owning the positives too. So when it comes to being a father, what have YOU done positively? What are the things you are doing well RIGHT NOW when it comes to your children? You can OWN all of those things. Join Mark this week as he shares what he has learned from his own father and how he applies this learning – both the good AND the bad – to parenting his kids. He’s sharing some habits he has built through being a father and three questions to ask yourself when it comes to owning your sh*t with your kids.

Too many men blame their wives, their jobs, their kids, for their problems, and it’s everyone else’s fault except THEIRS. But the key to fixing your marriage is to OWN it. Own your sh*t inside it, take RESPONSIBILITY, and hold yourself ACCOUNTABLE.

                                                      Ownership is a lifestyle. It is something we LIVE and BREATHE, and it is part of our entire essence as empowered men. And to have a lifestyle of ownership, a man needs to THRIVE in all five dimensions of life. So to kick off the brand-new show format, Mark explores The Lifestyle of Ownership, starting with YOU as a HUSBAND. Find out why taking ownership of your life is CRUCIAL in becoming an empowered man and three practical things you should be doing RIGHT NOW if you want to have successful ownership of your marriage.

                                                      “We cannot be men who are thriving, or men who are empowered, if we lack accountability and responsibility.”

                                                      ]]>We live in a world where everyone is a VICTIM, and NOBODY wants to take ownership of anything. Too many men blame their wives, their jobs, their kids, for their problems, and it’s everyone else’s fault except THEIRS. But the key to fixing your marriage is to OWN it. Own your sh*t inside it, take RESPONSIBILITY, and hold yourself ACCOUNTABLE.

                                                      Ownership is a lifestyle. It is something we LIVE and BREATHE, and it is part of our entire essence as empowered men. And to have a lifestyle of ownership, a man needs to THRIVE in all five dimensions of life. So to kick off the brand-new show format, Mark explores The Lifestyle of Ownership, starting with YOU as a HUSBAND. Find out why taking ownership of your life is CRUCIAL in becoming an empowered man and three practical things you should be doing RIGHT NOW if you want to have successful ownership of your marriage.

                                                      “We cannot be men who are thriving, or men who are empowered, if we lack accountability and responsibility.”

We say things like “I need my wife. I need to save my marriage,” but is that really true? Why do you need that? When talking about what you need, you’re focusing on the IDEAL world vs. the REAL world.

                                                      When you don’t have what you need and you focus on this instead of what you have, you’re in the “gap,” and the gap is where most men live. Focusing on what you need to create your IDEAL version of yourself keeps you trapped there, while focusing on what you already HAVE will get you out. In this episode, Mark is showing you how to move into a new realm - a place where you create what you want from a place of abundance instead of lack. It’s time to STOP living in the gap and START living in the gain.

                                                       “Every time you measure yourself against your ideal situation, you are in the gap that is creating anxiety.”

                                                      ]]>This episode is one of the most downloaded episodes ever, so it is clear that A LOT of men are struggling with this: what do you do when your wife has an affair? When your wife is telling you she doesn’t know if she wants to come back to the marriage, it can feel painful and SCARY AF. So how do you transform that pain into a positive?

                                                      In this reintroduction of episode 2 of Empowered AF, Mark helps you understand the difference between an emotional and physical affair and explains why you need to understand exactly what is happening with her before you can decide how to continue. You can choose to emerge destroyed or empowered, and it’s all down to THIS mindset shift. Which one do you choose? 

                                                      “What you have to do is put yourself in the most powerful position to receive her back, should she decide to come back.”

So in today’s episode, Mark talks with Misty McIntyre, a certified therapist and coach, about the differences between coaching and therapy and when to recognize when each is an appropriate action for a given situation. This is something critical to know, so pay attention!

It feels sudden - everything was going great, and then your wife seems to no longer love you, no longer trust you, or maybe she even “hates” you. At this point you may be asking yourself, “How the f*ck did this happen?” and “What do I do now?”.

                                                      In today’s episode, Mark is going to talk about how to neutralize the power of your wife by actually addressing the bad habits that you have been doing, without realizing it, and by discussing your lack of boundaries.

                                                      “The old you has to die in order to let the new you live.”

                                                      - Being rejected scares you and that’s why you don’t step up - and you don’t even know you have this going inside your head! Mark talks about how to be the leader that your wife needs in order to get through this

                                                      - Your Ego makes you think she is guilty of all the things that are going wrong in the marriage (it takes two to tango)

                                                      - How lacking to set consistent boundaries gives your wife room to do whatever she wants and brings tons of uncertainty into the relationship

Mark goes deep on how you establish BOUNDARIES in this relationship.

                                                      - Going through a divorce is tough, and with so much stuff going on it can destroy your confidence. Mark shares with you how to regain what you lost through self-improvement and awareness…

But you don’t. Mark will explain to you what attitude you have to have in this situation instead to make co-parenting a breeze

In fact, they protect their Ego and image that they have created and supported all their lives, never realizing it’s killing their relationships. So in today´s episode, Mark and Andrew talk about how men that are successful in any area of their life will most certainly always have this “Ego Problem” along with how they can fix it by killing it from its roots.

                                                      “Own the failures, own the responsibilities, but don´t let shame kick you in the a**”

A relationship and marriage is made of 2 persons, and it's critical that women take their part just as seriously. In today’s episode, Mark brings in Katie Mae, a woman who works with the other side of the relationship - the stubborn and strong minded women. Together, they share with us how women tend to mess up in their marriages too, and how important it is that both parties fix their toxic and bad behaviors.

This is a hard level for most people to understand from the OUTSIDE looking in. In this episode Seth gives you a set of questions to ask yourself to make this concept simplified so that YOU, too, can change the perception of the difficult time you are currently going through with your marriage or divorce, and how you can create a scenario for yourself where you can look back on this time in your life and live WITHOUT shame or regret with how it all went down.

That’s why Mark is using the next three episodes to fill you in on the Top 3 Episodes of Empowered AF. Maybe this is an episode you missed or maybe it’s just filled with the exact information YOU need to hear. The goal of counseling is NOT to save your marriage. The goal is for you to find your manhood and fight for it, no matter what she decides to do.  In this #1 Episode of all time, Mark lays out five key mistakes that are actually harming your children more, crapping on your important boundaries, and keeping you in a state of retreat instead of leadership. 

                                                      “If you stop focusing on saving the marriage, you actually have a chance to save it. ”

                                                      - Producers make shit happen! Men who are producers value making things and adding to the world. On the other hand, consumers WAIT for shit to happen.

                                                      - Producers manage their time well. The best producers plan their day, week, and even their year. Consumers waste time spinning their wheels because they’re too afraid to fail.

                                                      - Empowered men don’t manipulate their wives into reentering the marriage. They work on themselves so their wife sees something that makes her want to return.

                                                      - Producers create assets. They create time, cultivate and protect relationships, make money, and invest. Consumers waste other people’s time by venting, sucking other people dry, and wasting their money.

                                                      - Producers leverage assets. They play to win. Consumers play to NOT lose.

The texting conversation ranges from defensive, to offensive, to throwing blame, and being weak. Mark coaches us through how to have a healthier, more productive conversation that bridges the gap between the masculine and feminine and leaves both parties feeling accomplished. It’s time to let go of your defensiveness and anger and communicate more effectively.

                                                      “Your anger is a secondary emotion because you have something behind that you don’t know how to process outward.”

                                                      Man: “Shocker. You had time, you chose to use it in other ways. It’s always something with you.”

                                                      Woman:“Okay ----”

                                                      Woman:“I can’t make you happy.”

                                                      Man: “Then tell me you’re done so I can have some closure”

                                                      Woman: “I’m sorry you can’t handle not being my main priority. Right now I am done because you do nothing but criticize.”

                                                      Man: “I didn’t criticize you at all. I just acknowledged that you told me you would do something three different times and you chose not to… I’m not a priority to you at all. You can just forget the “right now” part of your statement.” 

                                                      Woman: “You chose to believe that. If you weren’t a priority I wouldn’t waste my time responding.”

                                                      Man: “This is going beyond my boundary. If you want to have a conversation, I’ll answer the phone.”

                                                      - Responding out of pure emotions can set the wrong tone for a conversation. As men, we have the power to set the narrative.

                                                      - Empowered men lead their wives in conversations and take charge instead of using “You” statements and slinging blame.

                                                      - Healthy text conversations involve SLOWING down to stop yourself from responding out of a place of pure emotion. 

                                                      - Be actually curious about what is going on in your wife's life. Are you willing to go to bat for this person?

                                                      - Taking ownership is a BIG thing for empowered men. We own our side of the equation so if things go south, it’s not because of us.

                                                      - Women and men communicate differently-- men are physical and women are emotional.

                                                      -...]]>Today, Mark sits down to unpack a toxic texting conversation between two partners. The texting conversation ranges from defensive, to offensive, to throwing blame, and being weak. Mark coaches us through how to have a healthier, more productive conversation that bridges the gap between the masculine and feminine and leaves both parties feeling accomplished. It’s time to let go of your defensiveness and anger and communicate more effectively.

                                                      “Your anger is a secondary emotion because you have something behind that you don’t know how to process outward.”

                                                      Man: “Shocker. You had time, you chose to use it in other ways. It’s always something with you.”

                                                      Woman:“Okay ----”

There is a clear distinction between an empowered man, and a little boy parading around as a man, spending his days feeling sorry for himself. Mark demands that empowered men dust themselves off after getting knocked down, and urge themselves to aggressively seek out solutions to their problems. You can’t control what happens to you, but you sure as hell can control how you choose to respond. Are you an empowered man who refuses to give up? Can you truly say that about yourself?

When relationship difficulties strike, many men will either exercise excessively in order to “save” the marriage, or they’ll be paralyzed with grief to the point of overeating. Whichever group you find yourself in, remember this: You deserve and can get healthy for YOU, no one else. In this new episode, Mark sits down with fitness coach, Thomas Miller, about the techniques and mindfulness tricks to take back your health. They cover the CRUCIAL mindset shift for breaking the cycle of excess, the KEY reason why so many new commitments fail despite the man’s “motivation”, and Thomas’s no-nonsense 3-Step plan that uses mindfulness to make changes that can and WILL stick.

                                                      - For so many men enduring divorce or other relationship struggles, their own health is one of the first things to go. However, it’s not a death sentence! If you can remember how powerful THIS emotion is during the difficult times, you’ll break the cycle and make PERMANENT change.

                                                      - If your tendency is to go into problem-solving mode AS SOON as you notice an issue, hold off. Taking massive action toward a problem may be what you need, but before you commit to anything, you need to realize WHY so many men fall short of their expectations and quit, time after time.

                                                      - In the heat of divorce or relationship strife, men will either default to obsessive weight loss or comforting weight gain. The emotions men feel here are no joke, but in order to escape the grip of panic and think long-term again, listen to Thomas’s 3-Step plan to get started.

                                                      - Looking for a nutrition plan that you can actually stick to? It includes the do’s and don'ts that most of us already know, but the MAGIC lies in THESE mindfulness techniques that will reprogram your mind to see food as FUEL, not comfort.

In the end, YOU are your biggest hindrance to your growth. In this new episode, Mark lays out the BIG difference between men who live in the past versus work toward the future, how to see your future as an investment and not just “buying change”, and what women are looking for in a TRULY empowered leader. Once you’re finally out of your own way, NO one can stop you!

                                                      “Once you realize that you can’t escape you, you have to get out of your own way and level up your expectations.”

                                                      - If you’re serious about making a change and NOT just pussyfooting around it, then remember THIS KEY difference between living in the past versus working for the future.

                                                      - The journey to change yourself may be an emotional one, but if you forget WHY you need to put your money where your mouth is, you’ll be left feeling small no matter how big your wallet is.

                                                      - Before you write off improving yourself as just “spending money”, keep THIS real world analogy in mind to shift your focus away from spending and TOWARD investing, forever.

                                                      - Being a true leader for your wife is more than abs or money. Being confident and sexy is a man who tells her this CRUCIAL thing about their future, no matter the circumstances, and prioritizes ACTION over words.

                                                      - If you’re serious about making a change and NOT just pussyfooting around it, then remember THIS KEY difference between living in the past versus working for the future.

                                                      - The journey to change yourself may be an emotional one, but if you forget WHY you need to put your money where your mouth is, you’ll be left feeling small no matter how big your wallet is.

                                                      - Before you write off improving yourself as just “spending money”, keep THIS real world analogy in mind to shift your focus away from spending and TOWARD investing, forever.

                                                      - Being a true leader for your wife is more than abs or money. Being confident and sexy is a man who tells her this CRUCIAL thing about their future, no matter the circumstances, and prioritizes ACTION over words.

Most men are hard-wired to react to problems with a solution, but that “solution” is doomed from the start. In this new episode, Mark lays out the FUNDAMENTAL difference between “fixers” and true leaders, highlighting why KNOWING your problems is MUCH more important than “fixing” them. Mark covers WHY fixing things is such a bad approach, TWO simple words to help you ground yourself in stressful situations, and the REAL reason you want to fix everything and how to anticipate issues BEFORE any damage is done.

                                                      “Men, we are good at fixing shit, but your wife is NOT something that needs to be fixed. Leaders are anticipators who anticipate problems and lead from humility, whereas fixers only react to problems out of fear.”

We all live with shame and insecurities, but too many men fall into habits of scapegoating and absorbing information as a distraction from their problems, especially when their life is turning sideways. If you want to become that EMPOWERED man, then you NEED to hear Mark lay out the simple, but not easy, steps to get there. Mark lists the SEVEN ways that an empowered man rises from the crowd of boys, how to take ACTION in a sea of information, and THE thing you need to focus on everyday to push through the struggles and rise from the ashes.

                                                      “A disempowered man focuses on what his wife is doing; an empowered man focuses on his own growth.”

                                                      - In a world of limitless information, shouldn’t everyone be empowered and live their dream? Absorbing information is one thing, but if you want to actually ACT on that information, you need to make THIS mental shift first. It’s simple, but it’s not easy.

                                                      - If your wife comes to you with an ultimatum about what you haven’t been doing in the marriage, the temptation is to suddenly compensate by doing THAT thing to save the old marriage. The problem? This DOES NOT work, and you NEED to hear Mark explain WHY and what you should do INSTEAD to move forward, not backward.

                                                      - When someone has wronged you somehow, you will feel the urge to focus on that wrong. This is a HUGE mistake that keeps men in a disempowered state! Instead, if you’re committed to YOUR growth, then you need to set your sights on THIS, no matter what happens.

While some people have certain advantages that others don’t, it doesn’t come down to resources. The truth? YOU are responsible for your reality, so STOP blaming anything else but yourself. In this episode, Mark explains WHY a mere desire to improve your life doesn’t cut it, this ONE phrase that’s KEY to raising your standards and ACTUALLY seeing changes, and four steps that will FREE you from self-limiting beliefs, help you embrace the discomfort, and bring out your empowered self.

                                                      “Your current reality is a byproduct of what you’ve grown to accept in your life TODAY.”

                                                      In This Episode:

                                                      - If you keep finding yourself in and out of debt or relationships, it’s not what you think. Listen to the REAL reason why you crave more but keep coming up short.

                                                      - When you repeat THIS phrase, you’re not making it easier for anybody; you’re just subjecting yourself to misery. If you’re serious about making a change, STOP accepting less and level up your standards.

                                                      - By following these four simple steps TODAY to “raise your necessity”, you’ll realize how FULLY in control you are of your life.

                                                      - Your feelings are powerful, but they do NOT control you and often lead you astray. Once you realize THIS distinction between feeling and doing, you will truly understand the sacrifices necessary for making the changes you’ve always wanted.

                                                      ]]>When we see people who have it more “figured out” than we do, it’s easy to blame anything from our genetics to the President. While some people have certain advantages that others don’t, it doesn’t come down to resources. The truth? YOU are responsible for your reality, so STOP blaming anything else but yourself. In this episode, Mark explains WHY a mere desire to improve your life doesn’t cut it, this ONE phrase that’s KEY to raising your standards and ACTUALLY seeing changes, and four steps that will FREE you from self-limiting beliefs, help you embrace the discomfort, and bring out your empowered self.

                                                      “Your current reality is a byproduct of what you’ve grown to accept in your life TODAY.”

                                                      In This Episode:

                                                      - If you keep finding yourself in and out of debt or relationships, it’s not what you think. Listen to the REAL reason why you crave more but keep coming up short.

                                                      - When you repeat THIS phrase, you’re not making it easier for anybody; you’re just subjecting yourself to misery. If you’re serious about making a change, STOP accepting less and level up your standards.

                                                      - By following these four simple steps TODAY to “raise your necessity”, you’ll realize how FULLY in control you are of your life.

                                                      - Your feelings are powerful, but they do NOT control you and often lead you astray. Once you realize THIS distinction between feeling and doing, you will truly understand the sacrifices necessary for making the changes you’ve always wanted.

In this new episode, Mark emphasizes how communication is the cause for so much hardship in marriages, yet so many men fail to effectively articulate their feelings, leaving them feeling alienated.

Will you resort to pity and apathy, or will you carry yourself with the strength needed to fulfill both your kids’ and your needs? Parenthood is hard and single parenthood is even harder, but it IS possible. In this new episode, Mark sits down with fellow Empowered AF coach, Isaiah Fliessbach, to discuss how they both successfully raised children AND developed themselves, all while single. They lay out a CRUCIAL mindset shift to help you to address the pain that’s holding you back as a father, daily practices that will accelerate your growth and help you show up without fail, and the KEY question for unlocking a healthy long-term relationship with your children, free from your past.

                                                      “When I moved out, I didn’t choose to be a bachelor again; I chose to be a dad who happened to be single.”

                                                      In This Episode:

                                                      - If you’ve ever felt unheard or ignored in your life, you’re not alone. Before you write yourself off as “crazy”, implement THIS philosophy into your life to find the TRUE cause of your pain.

                                                      - In those moments when life seems to be crashing around you, ask yourself this ONE question before you blame anyone else; you may have seen this before and know how to stop the pattern.

                                                      - Above all else, this SIMPLE philosophy is the SECRET to developing a healthy relationship with your children, even as a single parent.

                                                      ]]>When you look after the children by yourself for the first time, how will you react? Will you resort to pity and apathy, or will you carry yourself with the strength needed to fulfill both your kids’ and your needs? Parenthood is hard and single parenthood is even harder, but it IS possible. In this new episode, Mark sits down with fellow Empowered AF coach, Isaiah Fliessbach, to discuss how they both successfully raised children AND developed themselves, all while single. They lay out a CRUCIAL mindset shift to help you to address the pain that’s holding you back as a father, daily practices that will accelerate your growth and help you show up without fail, and the KEY question for unlocking a healthy long-term relationship with your children, free from your past.

                                                      “When I moved out, I didn’t choose to be a bachelor again; I chose to be a dad who happened to be single.”

                                                      In This Episode:

                                                      - If you’ve ever felt unheard or ignored in your life, you’re not alone. Before you write yourself off as “crazy”, implement THIS philosophy into your life to find the TRUE cause of your pain.

                                                      - In those moments when life seems to be crashing around you, ask yourself this ONE question before you blame anyone else; you may have seen this before and know how to stop the pattern.

                                                      - Above all else, this SIMPLE philosophy is the SECRET to developing a healthy relationship with your children, even as a single parent.

                                                      - Both Isaiah and Mark recognize fatherhood as the greatest challenge in life, but instead of giving in to the pressure, they use these TRANSFORMATIONAL practices to push through and remember why it’s all worth it.

But, here’s the catch: Before you save anything else, you HAVE to save yourself. On this new episode, Mark talks with Noah A. and his wife, Bethany, about how the program has deeply helped their marriage, but that’s never been the program’s focus. Noah and Bethany discuss how this ONE question forced Noah to check himself, an approachable way for men to articulate their feelings, and the simple TRUTH that reminds us where the real healing begins.

                                                      “Every time we start with a guy in our program, we tell them, ‘This is about the man, not about the marriage. Something in the man needs to change.’”

                                                      - Articulating deep feelings is a challenge for men, but if you approach communication like THIS, you’ll see why it made ALL the difference in Noah’s marriage.

                                                      - Unsure if you need guidance? Noah asks us the FUNDAMENTAL question that can make or break a man, let alone a marriage.

                                                      - A marriage can be repaired, but it’s just a reflection of something deeper. Once you realize the TRUTH that Noah did, you’ll understand that healing starts elsewhere.

So many men believe that focusing ONLY on their wives’ happiness will inevitably make them happy, but this approach too often leads to catering and giving up parts of themselves for peace in the household. Once the man forgets who he is, he stops being a leader, and a marriage without a leader isn’t a marriage at all. In this new episode, Mark sits down with a graduate of the VIP Empowered Man program, Andrew Lawrie, to detail how Andrew has been finding his inner leader and bringing new life into his marriage and career.

                                                      “ We don’t have the secret success to life; what we have is life. Our goal isn’t to save your marriage; our goal is to wake your ass up.”

                                                      ]]>Every man has a leader inside of him, but if he doesn’t learn how to lead himself first, he’ll never be able to lead others, let alone a marriage. So many men believe that focusing ONLY on their wives’ happiness will inevitably make them happy, but this approach too often leads to catering and giving up parts of themselves for peace in the household. Once the man forgets who he is, he stops being a leader, and a marriage without a leader isn’t a marriage at all. In this new episode, Mark sits down with a graduate of the VIP Empowered Man program, Andrew Lawrie, to detail how Andrew has been finding his inner leader and bringing new life into his marriage and career.

                                                      “ We don’t have the secret success to life; what we have is life. Our goal isn’t to save your marriage; our goal is to wake your ass up.”

Looking at yourself honestly and taking accountability can be incredibly painful, but it IS necessary in your growth as a man. Most of us have wounds, but touting them as trophies isn’t how they heal; they heal when you go to surgery. In this new episode, Mark lays out the fundamentals of why men are so stubborn about seeking help, three actionable steps to help you EARN back control, and the ONE question that will reveal the mountain.

The decision to file for divorce is never an easy one, so how do you know if it’s the right choice for you?

                                                      ]]>When emotions are running hot and the stakes are high, should divorce be an option? The decision to file for divorce is never an easy one, so how do you know if it’s the right choice for you? In this new episode, Mark reminds you what you NEED to ask yourself BEFORE you commit to any life-changing decisions. Your situation is unique, so you DESERVE to define your boundaries, commit to bettering yourself, and OWN yourself before you disown a marriage. So, what is your “acceptable”? 

                                                      “Before you file for divorce, ask yourself this: What is okay, and what is not okay?”

Very wrong. Being empowered means having the humility to admit when you need help, as there’s no shame in acknowledging your faults. Through that humility and willingness to learn, you’ll discover that there’s more to your situation than “divorce or not”. In this new episode, Mark lays out why men are reluctant to engage in groups, a daily self-check-in that keeps you accountable, and how to show your TRULY EMPOWERED self in the face of any adversity.

                                                      “What makes you great is when you can identify the weaknesses inside of you and realize that you need to be a bigger man in admitting you need help.”

But that’s exactly what it is—vomit. If your thoughts are unclear, your words will be too. With no clear direction, you cannot hope to save your marriage or yourself. On this new episode, Mark lays down the foundations of brevity, showing us the power of shutting up and choosing your words carefully. He explains the effect of pauses, the keys to being a leader in conversation, and who you ACTUALLY need to be in order to be happy.

                                                      “Brevity is leadership and makes you a safe space for her.”

If your thoughts are unclear, your words will be too. With no clear direction, you cannot hope to save your marriage or yourself. On this new episode, Mark lays down the foundations of brevity, showing us the power of shutting up and choosing your words carefully. He explains the effect of pauses, the keys to being a leader in conversation, and who you ACTUALLY need to be in order to be happy.

                                                      “Brevity is leadership and makes you a safe space for her.”

Looking at your TRUE self, every good and bad part, is uncomfortable as hell, so most guys don’t do it. Here’s the rub: That’s one of THE reasons a marriage falls apart. In this new episode, Mark shows us how miscommunication in marriage begins with miscommunication with yourself. Ultimately, becoming an empowered man involves staring at your vulnerable self in the face, recognizing every single fault, and vowing to always be honest with yourself. Once you do that, you can be honest with someone else. Period.

I repeat, saving your marriage is not the goal. The goal is for you to find your manhood and fight for it, no matter what she decides to do. Too many men are willing to sacrifice their identity to keep the marriage afloat, whether for the wife, the kids, or their pride. In this episode, Mark lays out five key mistakes that are actually harming your children more, crapping on your important boundaries, and keeping you in a state of retreat instead of leadership.

                                                      “Be a leader, not a retreater.”

Too many men are willing to sacrifice their identity to keep the marriage afloat, whether for the wife, the kids, or their pride. In this episode, Mark lays out five key mistakes that are actually harming your children more, crapping on your important boundaries, and keeping you in a state of retreat instead of leadership.

                                                      “Be a leader, not a retreater.”

This sounds innocent on the surface, but what if it’s actually harmful in the long run? If someone feels the tension of a problem, venting is the easy way to feel better, but it doesn’t resolve the issue. In fact, venting makes the person less likely to tackle the problem at all! In this new episode, Mark explains the many kinds of tension and men’s responses to them, as well as simple analogies that explain how to find your true self. At the end of the day, it’s about owning your faults, standing up in the face of adversity, and channelling the pressures of life to create your own destiny.

When you set a boundary, you’re telling yourself and the world that your happiness is valuable. Whether you’re single or married, this principle is crucial to embracing your manhood.

He details the importance of consistency, how to be strong even when you feel the opposite, and the critical steps for detaching yourself from your old expectations and beginning your new life.

However, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t powerful, and when you pair that with something as emotionally charged as a damaged marriage, people can easily feel exploited. In this new episode, Mark helps us better understand manipulation by summarizing it in a super digestible way, as well as showing us small tweaks that will help you enforce your boundaries. Ultimately, if you own your mistakes and embrace your value as a man, guilt can’t touch you.

So, if that nightmare becomes real for you, how do you transform that pain into a positive? In this new episode of Empowered AF, Mark makes the case for how emotional cheating is an underestimated beast, the feelings that can trap you in a cycle of self-sabotage, and THIS mindset shift that will decide if you emerge empowered or destroyed. Which do you choose?

                                                      “What you have to do is put yourself in the most powerful position to receive her back, should she decide to come back.”
