Great Men w/ Shane Sams

About Great Men w/ Shane Sams

Great Men is the podcast for men who are ready to stop living a 'good enough' life, and start creating a great life on their own terms. Everything up to 40 was just research and development. You built the first half for them. Now it's time to create what's next for YOU. The Great Men Podcast will help you reclaim your story, step into your authentic identity, and create YOUR vision for YOUR future. You will not walk alone. Every week I have deep conversations with great men. We discuss the topics most men never get to have but need now more than ever. Unfiltered conversations about identity, purpose, what it costs a man to build something and what it costs to walk away. About physical transformation, men's mental health, women, fatherhood, faith, doubt, career, connection, and what it actually means to be a great man in the modern world. Each week, you'll hear from amazing men who have walked through the fire in pursuit of purpose, meaning, and legacy. Men who are on the journey, doing the work, and writing their own story. Warriors, artists, fathers, husbands, builders, entrepreneurs, thinkers. No fluff. No posturing. Just raw stories, practical insights, and personal evolution. From overcoming inner battles to forging deeper relationships… From building strong bodies to reclaiming peace of mind… From legacy-defining work to rediscovering the soul… This is not a podcast about performance or becoming perfect. It's a place for good men doing the real work to create greatness in their life every day. Real conversations, practical wisdom, and battle-tested frameworks for mindset, emotional intelligence, physical health, relationships, and spiritual growth. Hosted by Shane Sams—speaker, author, entrepreneur, and founder of GreatMen.org—this show explores the tools and timeless wisdom that help good men become great in the real world. Subscribe, listen every week, leave a review, and share this with other men who are ready for more.

Great Men Have Already Won (w/ Cody Berman, Author of Retire By 30)

Published 11 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I think that everyone should over index the present. This is something that I have not done this in the past. I think I over-indexed the future a lot in my early entrepreneurial journey. I was always worried about how much we would make a month when I was 70. I can't tell you how much that obsessive mindset in my brain was for my first three or four, maybe five years of being a business owner. And I think it just came from, like, fear. Like, okay, well, who's going to take care of me then? And if I can make that much money now, then I'll have that much money between now and then. And then all of a sudden, I realized that it was never going to be enough. […]
