Man Morning

When comedian Martin Short stepped on stage, he was completely free. No fear. No need for approval. No concern about judgment. Why? Because he had already faced the worst. His brother died when he was 12. His mother when he was 17. His father when he was 20. By the time he faced an audience, their opinion meant nothing. He didn't know them. They hadn't held his hand through loss. They hadn't wiped his tears Continue reading and learn about the “price of freedom.” https://lnkd.in/gfsp-DXY

Flow state. The zone. Being unconscious. The spirit moving... We call it God mode.

For almost 10 years, I’ve met with a group of guys every Thursday at 7 AM. We call these meetups, Man Morning. We meet no matter what, rain or shine. We walk, talk, celebrate our wins, share our struggles, and support each other when life gets tough. I know not every man has something like this in his life. So, I wondered: Could this kind of community be recreated in a virtual setting, with people who didn’t even know each other? I decided to find out and tested a Group Chat Challenge. Seven men from different corners of the country. Strangers at first, united by one thing: a desire to get better. Every day for 10 days, we connected. We shared our wins, our struggles, and what we needed to move forward. And what happened over those 10 days was nothing short of incredible. Here’s what I learned: https://lnkd.in/gFKt-dK5

Spending time with the right men is like flying private. You get where you want to go faster. In person or in a group chat, being around men who push you to be better is how you improve all areas of your life (money, fitness, marriage, parenting, etc.). Miracles happen when you're with the right people. The ones who lift you up, cheer you on, and challenge you to do more. Want to go further, faster? Find the men who make you better. Get in the HOV lane. -- PS: Interested in surrounding yourself with a supportive community? Ask me about my next Group Chat Challenge.

If your grandparents’ car had an ashtray in the backseat, it means 3 things: 1. You probably smoked the equivalent of a pack of lung darts a month. 2. You have incredible life experience and are smarter today than you’ve ever been before. 3. You’ve become passive and you’re not making the bold moves like you used to. Look, it’s not too late to see if you still got it. But if you keep waiting around, it’s only gonna get harder. Find your edge today and stretch yourself if only by a little bit. You survived second hand smoke for a reason. Get after it.

There’s this thing called “sleep divorce” going around. Basically, couples are saying, “Hey, let’s not sleep in the same bed together every night.” And honestly, it makes sense for a lot of people. Maybe one of you gets up at 4 AM, the other snores like a freight train, or she’s into nature sounds while you need complete silence. So, this means one of you sleeps in the guest room or on the pull out now and then (or daily). In today’s world, do you really need to share the same bed every night to have a solid marriage? The answer? It depends. If sleeping separately means you both wake up feeling like actual humans instead of zombies, then why not? The key is doing what works for you as a couple. Forget what people think you should be doing. And let’s be real, great night’s sleep? That’s priceless. Whether you’re in the same bed or not. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Should married couples sleep in the same bed every night?
