Why “Putting Her First” Is Ruining Your Leadership l EP. 67 l
Jan 09, 2026Send us a text
Nice guys believe they’re selfless.
They say yes.
They avoid conflict.
They let their partner decide because “she’ll be happier that way.”
But after coaching nearly 500 men, I’ve learned something most nice guys don’t want to hear:
That behaviour isn’t selfless — it’s selfish.
In this episode, I break down why phrases like “I don’t care, up to you” aren’t generous, considerate, or loving — they’re a way to avoid responsibility, rejection, and discomfort. And how that avoidance quietly forces yo...

Most high-performing men don’t struggle because they’re “too sensitive.”
They struggle because they can’t discern what’s actually theirs to own… and what’s simply someone else’s emotional reality.
So they do what Nice Guys always do:

Why do so many high-performing men feel powerful in business and strangely underpowered at home?
In this episode of Be Better, I break down a psychological and relational case study inspired by fitness influencer Alex Eubank — not as an attack, but as a mirror for elite men who are disciplined, successful, and externally dominant… yet hesitant, anxious, and deferential in their relationship.
I unpack why physical excellence, financial success, and public confidence do not automatically translate to grounded masculinity, presence, or polarity at home — and how over-control, approv...

Most men don’t avoid conflict because they’re weak.
They avoid it because they don’t know how to stay grounded when emotions rise.
In this episode, I break down the critical difference between nice guy avoidance and grounded masculine leadership—and why swinging the pendulum toward “confront everything” is just as destructive.
Nice guys suppress their needs, justify, over-explain, or shut down to keep the peace.
And over time, that teaches their partner one dangerous thing: he can’t handle the truth.

Jan 02, 2026Send us a text
If you’re a nice guy, one of the most damaging habits you’ve built isn’t obvious — it’s your fear of making decisions.
Not the big ones like marriage or business. The small, daily ones where you say “I don’t mind,” “up to you,” “whatever you want.”
Those moments don’t feel dangerous — but over time, they quietly destroy polarity, trust, and respect in your marriage.
In this episode, I break down why indecision isn’t neutrality — it’s avoidance.
Why constantly handing decisions to your partner trains her to lead whi...

Most men don’t fail because they aim too low.
They fail because their standards are weak.
In this episode of the Be Better Podcast, I break down why goals, New Year’s resolutions, and motivation-based plans don’t work — and why standards are the real driver of masculine growth, leadership, and consistency.
After coaching nearly 500 men, I’ve seen the same pattern play out year after year:
men set ambitious goals… and then collapse back into old habits the moment things get boring, uncomf...

If I wanted to stop being a Nice Guy in 2026, this is exactly where I’d start.
After coaching almost 500 men, I’ve seen one pattern show up over and over again:
men don’t get stuck because they’re weak, broken, or incapable — they get stuck because they’re reactive, unclear, and led by outdated survival strategies they don’t even realise are running them.

In this episode, I break down one of the most damaging Nice Guy patterns eroding modern relationships:
avoiding the hard conversations and never coming back to them.

In this episode, I break down one of the most silent relationship killers for high-performing Nice Guys: your emotional state shifts every time hers does.
If her stress makes you tense…
If her frustration makes you defensive…
If her emotions send you into fixing, overexplaining, shutting down, or walking on eggshells…
then you’re not being the grounded man you think you are — you’re being reactive, unpredictable, and unsafe in the moments she needs your strength the most.

In this episode of the Be Better podcast, I talk about one of the most confronting truths for married men: you’re not losing intimacy because your wife doesn’t desire you – you’re losing intimacy because you’re too scared to ask what’s actually going on.
After coaching almost 500 men out of Nice Guy syndrome and into grounded, present, connected masculinity, I see the same pattern: instead of asking direct questions, men guess, overthink, double down on being “nice,” and quietly resent their wife when the sex and connection d...

In this episode of the Be Better podcast, I break down a confronting truth most high-performing Nice Guys never see clearly: you’re not afraid of conflict – you’re afraid of being wrong. Deep down, you believe that if someone sees you’re wrong, they’ll see you as unworthy. So you avoid hard conversations, swallow your truth, and tell yourself you’re “keeping the peace,” while your relationship quietly erodes underneath you.

Nice guys don’t help because they’re selfless. They help because they’re scared—of rejection, of not being needed, of losing love. In this episode of Be Better, I break down how over-giving and unspoken expectations destroy connection, intimacy, and trust in your relationship. I speak directly to the men who keep doing more, hoping it’ll finally “be enough,” and show you why your wife pulls away, even when your actions are well-intentioned.

If you feel guilty when you slow down — when you’re not working, not producing, not achieving — it’s not because you’re lazy. It’s because your nervous system and identity were built around performance.
In this episode, I break down the truth behind why high-performing men struggle to rest, why stillness feels unsafe, and how to start rewiring your nervous system so that peace doesn’t feel like failure.

Most men (& online coaches/influencers) throw around words like “masculinity,” “presence,” and “leadership” without ever defining them. And if you can’t define it — you’ll never live it.
In this episode, I break down the most overused words in men’s work and translate them into clear, measurable behaviors that you can actually live by.
No fluff. No spiritual wallpaper. Just grounded definitions that help you show up as the man you say you want to be — especially in your marriage.

In this episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood emotional habits for high-performing men: taking things personally. As a recovering Nice Guy, I used to spiral with self-doubt anytime I felt criticized. But I’ve since learned that every trigger is a mirror—and owning that mirror is the gateway to becoming more grounded, resilient, and powerful...
