How would you answer this question:


So many guys who get into a rut in their marriage have the wrong answer to this question:

"How many lightbulbs are out in your house, right now?"

One? Two? Three?? How long have they been out?

And here are some follow-up questions:

Why are they still out? What are you waiting for? Who ELSE is going to change them for you?

If you can't tell by now, the question isn't really about lightbulbs.

It's about the little things in our lives that we let slide...that we let go into disrepair.

It's about us waiting for someone else, at some undefined time and in some undefined way, to solve our problems for us.

But of course nobody is coming. That person and that day never comes. All the while small problems get bigger and bigger.

So my advice for myself and everyone reading this:

Get up and go change the freaking lightbulb.

I talked about this on my podcast recently and you can see the clip here (give us a subscribe on YT while you're there).

Three years ago I was still figuring out this whole online business thing. I was basically clueless, as this post will evidence. For a long time I'd admired a prominent online personality who many of you probably know, Joshua Lisec. Well imagine my surprise when he DMd me one day out of the blue back in 2021. He asked me what I was working on and I told him. I was in the middle of writing a book. I still have the book draft today, tens of thousands of words, but I never published it. Why?...

I know a lot of guys on this list are running or interested in running coaching/consulting type offers So I wanted to share something I've seen industry-wide, that's fundamentally impacted how I operate There is SO MUCH FATIGUE with "online coaches" in the marketplace Prospects have been bombarded for years with crappy offers and outreach from people they don't know, trying to sell them some vague "coaching program"...and this has led to .... THE HIGHEST TRUST BARRIER EVER in this industry....

I had serial entrepreneur and VC investor Bubba Page on my podcast recently. I asked him his best piece of advice for dads. His answer: "Don't forget to be fun" In other words, stay positive. We set the tone in the house. Everyone's mood ultimately trickles down from our mood. This is something so many dads forget. If we're mopey, things go downhill. If we're boring, kids get bored. But if we're high energy... If we say yes... If we're fun... Our kids' childhood is what it should be: fun. You...
