All my life I’ve been obsessed with self-growth. Self-improvement. Self-help. Whatever you want to call it.
It always blew me away that I could upgrade my entire way of experiencing life just by opening a book.
Why wasn’t everyone devouring this shit?
I’ve read many books over the years that have had a huge impact on all areas of my life, such as health, productivity, business, and more.
But there are three books that rose above all others for me.

In episode #3 of Guys with Feelings, Gabe Rose and I share our thoughts on:
So, you already know that I think everyone and their mom should see a therapist.
It’s self-growth on steroids! I’d recommend it to EVERYBODY.
But then the question becomes, “HOW do I find a therapist? A badass, awesome one?”
And unfortunately, that’s a more difficult question to answer.

Now you’ve got no excuse!
We’re back with another episode of our now monthly podcast!
And we’ve got an official name for it too…
Guys with Feelings. Where two guys discuss the events, ideas, influences, and yes – the feelings – that help them become better men.
In this episode, Gabe Rose and I cover topics such as:
I’ve been reading “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert and one idea of hers has been really resonating with me (enough that it’s now plastered across the top of my daily planner):
“You must learn how to become a deeply disciplined half-ass.”
Let me explain.
According to Gilbert, the two worst things you can be as a creative is lazy and a perfectionist.
Well shit, that’s me.
The lazy part is obvious. If you want to create, you have to be disciplined. You have to show up every day and do the work. Even if it’s not easy or fun. Whether or not you’re feeling inspired. You gotta sit your ass down and put in the effort.
