Men leading from the front as fathers, husbands, brothers, friends. We look to discuss the disease that is mediocrity and complacency through acts and the motivations and determinations that make great men great.
EP 30 - Alex Cherry - Hidden Monsters - A Story of Addiction
Alex Cherry is a survivor. Alex is a fighter. Alex has overcome the odds. Alex was/is an addict.
His journey to addiction and, ultimately, jail time is one that parents need to hear. This story is one of naivety, blind innocence and then ultimate rock bottom. Alex didn't set out on a path to end up where he did, but he ended up there anyway. He is open and brutally honest about his addiction - how he got there, the moments where he wanted to and attempted to end his own life. Why? A drug got ahold of him that slowly but surely destroyed everything around him.
But I can assure you of this - this story, Alex's story, is one that shows the depths to which the human psyche and resolve can reach and come out on the other side. Not only the other side, but stronger, better and bigger than ever before.
He has risen up to share his story, not just here, but directly with clients and men all over the country through his work with Default Kings, Reject Mediocrity Podcast and Newsletter and being a continued guest on multiple podcasts throughout.
This episode, "Hidden Monsters - A Story of Addiction" is one I'm unbelievably proud to get to be a part of. I'm truly honored that Alex would sit down and take the time to share this with me and those of you listening to Navigating The Intentional Life. One of the most powerful episodes to date.

EP 29 - Body Myers - Methods Of Madness - Part 2
This is the follow up.
This is the encore to the original.
Boyds story is not made for one part or even 2 for that matter. Yes, there is a large possibility that he and I will have to sit down for a Part 3 on the same "come-up" story.
Why?
Because many of you are wanting exactly what Boyd is sharing. You disagree? I think in your heart of hearts you know that's not true. You want to be free, you want to attack your life like a crazed, unlimited, unstoppable wild thing. But Boyd isn't crazy - he knows exactly what he is doing. He is calculated and dedicated in ways that the lazy and mediocre will and have always called "obsessive".
What you know is that to do anything big, one has to go big. Most are not willing to cross that boundary.
Most are not Boyd.
We hope you enjoy this second act of the story as much as we enjoyed discussing it. Never mind my mustache, take a listen, subscribe to our channel and share with your friends and family and even that neighbor you can't stand.

Ep 28 - Chris Boettcher - Lines Crossed
What does it take to push, really push, your body to its absolute limits? Growing up I was an athlete and played all of the main sports. Later in life I joined the military and met all of the physical requirements for the worlds greatest military. I was even a certified CrossFit "trainer" for a time; but did I really know what it was like to push my body past limits that defy every red flag your body gives you when the limits you've taken it to are being surpassed?
Chris Boettcher is a man that knows the answer to this question. He's spent over a decade competing in one of the most grueling competitions the world has to offer. He has done this consistently for over a decade. See, Chris is an Iron Man. Multiple times through.
But his podcast was not as much about being a competitor in that competition and more about being a man that stands for his morals, stands for himself, stands for his family and does so with passion, compassion, grace, humility and a quiet dogged determination unlike anything I've ever seen.
Chris breaks down his journey that took him from first deciding to compete in Iron Man and how that obsession cost him. He speaks on the revelations that doing so has taught him on fatherhood, being a husband and, overall, how to stand up for his beliefs. Even with the accomplishments, he is not done. Still striding, still working to become the best version of himself for himself, but for those he is in charge of and a family he won't fail to help flourish.
Tune in - this is a podcast I felt honored to be able to produce.
