Life's Transitions and How to Stay Connected to Your Wife
|
I am honored to bring you this conversation with my friend and long-time client, Hunter Clinton. Hunter is the Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A in Anna, TX. In our conversation together, we discussed how to stay engaged with your wife even when adding a fourth child, building a team culture to be the salt and light in the community, and how your leadership evolves throughout the years if you stay committed to be a lifelong learner. You can listen to and share this conversation with others right now. -- Your Last Date Why do I ask about the last date night you went on with your wife, and what does that reveal about your leadership on every episode? Whether it is a date or what Dave Munson said on a recent podcast in reference to Zig Ziglar, we should always be courting our wife. I believe marriage is the greatest ecosystem to grow our leadership. “Marriage has the power to set the course of your life as a whole.

Spotting the Nice Guy and Becoming Wholehearted Behind the scenes: I made a mistake during the podcast, and the thought occurred to me to start over. Why?

I chose to keep going because at this point, if you have ever listened to one conversation, you know there are no edits. I apologized and told Hunter, "Thanks" for giving me grace. Brother, I am not perfect, you are not perfect. May we let down our guard together and embrace the process of becoming wholehearted together.

We explore one particular area of negotiation and share how to avoid “piling on the emotional laundry.” You’ll walk away with practical ways to: Your tension is never about the thing: ie, our "thing" in the conversation was over laundry Enter difficult conversations with courage and clarity Keep no...
High-achieving men are living under the weight of shame because we’ve misplaced what it means to confess. Below is a new paradigm to help. I grew up in a church culture determined to get the pattern of the early church right. And if you didn’t, the message was clear: God was going to punish you. At the time, I didn’t realize how much that created uncertainty and anxiety in my life. But it did—spilling over into my leadership, my relationships, and even how I saw myself. This paradigm shaped...
I’ve recorded conversations with Henry Cloud, Dr. John Delony, Navy SEALs, and professional athletes—but this one was harder than I expected. We’ve been talking about doing this for over a year—sharing our own marriage with leaders who listen to the podcast. Yesterday we finally hit record. Today it’s live for you and your spouse!! The format is simple: a conversational style with tough but honest questions you can ask each other as we’re asking them too. You will unlock the emotional...
