They Fail At Home: Narcissism, Surrender, and The Entrepreneurial Sickness

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0700

Most high-performing men don't fail in business. They fail at home. Quietly. And they don't even realize they are the problem.

In this 2026 relaunch episode, I sit down with Dr. Jim Bob Haggerton - chiropractor, author, and mentor to high-capacity couples - to expose what we call the Entrepreneurial Sickness. We dive into the hidden drift toward narcissism, control, and emotional isolation that destroys marriages while careers grow.

This conversation is about one word men hate: SURRENDER.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why successful men secretly become the bottleneck in their own lives How ambition turns into control and slowly disconnects you from your wife The Faith over Fear shift that 2026 demands The No-Ass Theory and why weak glutes predict early decline The brutal truth about making your wife feel alone while living in the same house What real Christian masculine leadership looks like behind closed doors

This is not self-help fluff. This is not hustle culture hype. This is a mirror. If you are a founder, entrepreneur, or driven husband who feels tension you cannot explain, this episode will hit harder than you expect.

Episode 88 - The Fitness Pivot: Adapting for Long-Term Health with Chad Austin

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 05:00:00 -0700

Summary:

In this episode of Maxed Out Man, Kevin Davis interviews Chad Austin, owner of Priority Fitness and author of the book series Make Fitness a Priority. Chad shares his journey from personal trainer to fitness author, focusing on how fitness has to fit into one’s life sustainably. Emphasizing the "fitness pivot" approach, Chad highlights the importance of adaptability and flexibility in maintaining long-term fitness. He discusses common obstacles, like the "inconsistency rollercoaster" and the "too busy" excuse, and offers strategies to break free from these mindsets. Chad also emphasizes setting small, realistic goals and the importance of accountability and support in a fitness journey. His mission is to help clients shift from short-term motivation to a lasting commitment that turns fitness into an integral part of life.

Key Takeaways:

Adaptability is Key: Fitness routines should adapt to changes in life, focusing on what fits best for current circumstances rather than sticking to past standards.
Celebrate Small Wins: Recognizing every improvement, whether it’s getting all workouts in or hitting a new strength goal, helps build a positive fitness mindset.
The Power of Accountability: Having a support system, be it a trainer, workout partner, or community, can make a significant difference in achieving fitness goals.
Avoid the Inconsistency Trap: Fitness should be a priority year-round; adopting a mindset that sees fitness as a lifelong journey helps combat the “on-and-off” cycle.
Focus on Sustainable Goals: Prioritize fitness practices that align with your life, aiming for sustainable, long-term benefits rather than quick fixes.

Episode 87 - Mastering the Mindset: Michael Sartain on Confidence and Attraction

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 11:00:00 -0600

Summary:

In this episode of Maxed Out Man, host Kevin Davis speaks with Michael Sartain, a performance coach and founder of the Men of Action program. Michael dives deep into what truly attracts women to men, debunking common myths about looks and wealth while exploring status, confidence, and behavioral cues that signal attraction.

He shares insights from evolutionary psychology, explaining concepts like "mate choice copying" and "pre-selection." The discussion also highlights the importance of social proof, competence, and establishing boundaries in relationships. Michael’s program emphasizes self-improvement through leadership, social dynamics, and living with integrity, helping men build authentic connections and reach their full potential.

Key Takeaways:

Social Proof Matters: Women are drawn to men who are respected and admired by others; being seen with high-status individuals boosts perceived attractiveness.
Competence Over Wealth: Real attraction comes from confidence and capability, not just financial success.
Boundaries Are Key: Setting clear boundaries is essential in relationships; doing everything a partner wants can be perceived as weakness.
Integrity and Accountability: Living with honesty and purpose builds trust and confidence, which are fundamental to successful relationships.
Self-Improvement Through Action: Building attraction and influence requires ongoing self-improvement, showing up authentically, and embracing growth.

Here are the main strategies Michael Sartain recommends for attracting and building successful relationships:

Leverage Social Proof and Pre-Selection:
- Surround yourself with high-status individuals and be seen in positive social contexts, as people (especially women) are naturally attracted to men respected by others. Displaying pre-selection—being around women who are interested in you—also boosts attractiveness.
Develop Competence and Confidence:
- Rather than focusing solely on money or looks, men should work on personal skills and competencies. This includes charisma, humor, and the ability to navigate social situations, all of which signal high social value and self-assuredness.
Create and Maintain Boundaries:
- In relationships, Michael emphasizes that doing everything a partner asks can be counterproductive, as it can signal a lack of backbone. Instead, maintain your values and boundaries to show strength and consistency.
Embrace Integrity and Accountability:
- Be honest and purposeful in your actions. Integrity in words and behavior builds trust, while a commitment to self-improvement fosters authentic connections and makes you more attractive long-term.
Prioritize Action and Self-Improvement:

Childhood Trauma’s Impact: Unresolved childhood trauma can hold men back from reaching their full potential, even if they’re unaware of it.

Episode 83 - Building Wealth, Building Life: Lessons from Financial Pro Daniel Poppers

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0600

Summary:

In this episode of Maxed Out Man, Kevin Davis speaks with financial advisor Daniel Poppers about the importance of planning for both financial and personal success. Daniel, who has over 11 years of experience in the financial industry, shares how his father’s experiences inspired him to become an advisor focused on helping men achieve their ideal life.

The conversation covers a range of topics, from the mistakes people make in their financial planning to the importance of starting early to build long-term wealth. Daniel also shares insights on the emotional side of financial planning, how to balance wealth with happiness, and the importance of delayed gratification. He emphasizes that success isn’t just about money—it’s about creating a fulfilling and meaningful life, and financial planning is just one tool to achieve that.

Key Takeaways:

Financial Planning Is Key: Planning early can help avoid financial stress later in life. Waiting too long to plan for retirement can make it difficult to reach financial goals.
Mindset Matters: The right mindset is crucial for both financial and personal success. Managing emotional responses to market fluctuations can make or break long-term investments.
Wealth Beyond Money: True success is about balancing finances with personal fulfillment. Daniel emphasizes that money is a tool for creating an ideal life, not the ultimate goal.
Start Early: For young people, putting away money in a Roth IRA or taking advantage of employer matching programs can make a huge difference by the time they reach retirement.
Delayed Gratification: Sacrificing some instant pleasures for long-term financial stability can lead to a more secure and fulfilling future.

About Daniel:

Daniel Poppers is a proud father and loves spending time outdoors with his 3 children – pursuing their Ideal Life. Outside of the office and the stock market, you can find Daniel somewhere taking advantage of this golden state – in the surf or snow – boating, fishing, taking photographs, playing hockey or performing on stage.

Daniel Poppers has been in the financial industry since 2013. Before joining LPL Financial in 2017 and later partnering with long-time colleague and friend, Jim den Dulk in 2020, he built his business at Edward Jones, where he was recognized and awarded for opening his own office in Folsom, CA from scratch.

Daniel has always been an entrepreneur at heart and is proud to be an independent financial advisor with LPL Financial where he is able to tailor product and service offerings more closely to the needs and preferences of his clients and is able to truly focus on a fiduciary standard and put clients’ interests first without corporate pressures.

In this insightful episode of the Maxed Out Man podcast, host Kevin Davis sits down with Dr. Michael Twyman, a preventive cardiologist specializing in biohacking and mitochondrial health. Dr. Twyman shares his journey from traditional invasive cardiology to a more proactive and preventative approach. He emphasizes the importance of early detection of cardiovascular issues, which can begin as early as childhood, and the role of advanced testing in identifying and mitigating risks before they become symptomatic.

Dr. Twyman explains the science behind blue light exposure, circadian rhythms, and their effects on cortisol and melatonin levels.

Listeners will also learn about the vital pillars of health—sleep, stress management, nutrition, and exercise—and how these can help maintain optimal cardiovascular health throughout life. Dr. Twyman's practical advice on managing light exposure, optimizing sleep, and the benefits of proactive lifestyle choices offers a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to enhance their health and longevity.

Takeaways:

Preventative Cardiovascular Care: Cardiovascular disease often starts decades before symptoms appear. Early detection through advanced testing can prevent severe outcomes.
Mitochondrial Health: Mitochondria play a critical role in overall health, particularly for the brain and heart. Optimizing mitochondrial function through light exposure, sleep, and lifestyle changes is essential.
Circadian Rhythm and Light Exposure: Managing light exposure, particularly blue light, is crucial for regulating cortisol and melatonin levels, which directly impact sleep quality and overall health.
Personalized Medicine Over "One-Size-Fits-All": Dr. Twyman advocates for individualized treatment plans that consider genetic factors and advanced testing over standard guidelines.

A great conversation with Michael Abens, a long time friend and someone I look up to as a man who has achieved success in so many areas of his life. We talk about business, marriage, some really cool medical invention stuff, and what it means to be content in today's world. Some really great stuff to inspire men to be the best husbands and fathers they can be.
