FACT - It's getting harder and harder to be a man these days. Want proof? 70% of all divorces are initiated by women and men make up almost 80% of suicides. How can that be? It's simple. Men have not been educated on how to train for life! Join Coach Carl, certified Personal Trainer turned Men's Health Advocate as he dives deep into what it takes for men to push through the fear of intimacy, pull themselves out of depression, dig deep to find their life's true purpose, and carry the weight of everyday life as the modern man by using one simple yet powerful and unique strategy - taking what works inside the gym and apply it outside the gym. We got this!

FINAL EPISODE EVER - The End of Inspired By Impact
EP119 - This will be the last episode of Inspired By Impact ever!
Why? There are three reasons that I will summarize with three quotes, all of which I will dive into detail about in today's episode.
Quote #1 - "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it’s time to pause and reflect.” - Mark Twain
Long Story Short: I'm tired of being on the side of the majority and it's about fucking time to switch things up.
Quote #2 (two-parter) - “Would you consume your own content? If not, don’t post it. It’s just the easiest way to work out whether or not what you’re producing is something that you should continue producing.” - Chris Williamson, Modern Wisdom #742
"Why don’t I do something different instead? It’s a very good strategy to chase not what other people are doing but what you want to see." - Gurwinder Bhogal, Modern Wisdom #742
Long Story Short: I'm no longer inspired by Inspired By Impact so it's time to switch gears to what has always and will always inspire me. Complete details in the episode.
Quote #3 - "I have a vision of starting a conversation that becomes a movement." - Greg McKeown, Essentialism
Long Story Short: While I can't deny that men's mental health is critical, it's no longer the message I feel compelled to be an advocate for. There is a new message that I have had on the back burner for years that has finally boiled over. Again, details in today's episode.
Lastly, thanks to everyone who listened to the show and supported me along the way. It's not hyperbole to state that imagining you on the other end getting something from this content kept me going far longer than I would have ever on my own.
Stay tuned for what's coming next, and as always...

Top 5 Depression DOs and DON'Ts - Are You Making Depressed People Feel Even Worse?
EP118 - If you suffer from depression, what do you wish people would stop doing that you don't have the heart to tell them but wish somebody would?
For those of us who have a very intimate and long-term relationship with depression, it can be hard to communicate with others about what's going on for you, what you need, and what pisses you off.
I've been in an almost constant state of depression for about the past month now, and while I know my loved ones only want to help, there are certain things I wish they would either do or stop doing because they don't fucking help and usually only trigger me to feel worse.
But it can be hard to tell the people you love to fuck off politely, so let me do that for you.
Today, I am hoping to accomplish three things:
1 - If you suffer from depression, you'll probably be able to relate to some of the things I am experiencing, and it's always nice to know that you're not alone
2 - If you have difficulty communicating with the people who love you about how they can support you, this may help
3 - If you're someone who wants to know how you can better support your loved ones who suffer from depression, it's better you hear this from me than from them
WARNING - Today might get a little dark so if you're a sunshine and rainbows type of person, you'll especially want to stick around so you can hear about how the other half lives.
DISCLAIMER - I am not a medical professional or psychologist so everything I share is from my personal experience. Be sure to seek professional support to ensure you get the help you need.

What Do You Do When You Hit Rock Bottom and You Feel Like There's No Way Out?
What do you do when you hit rock bottom?
How do you get yourself to do the shit you know you need to do but have no fucking idea how to get yourself to do it? What can you do to begin digging yourself out of your self-made pit to gain the clarity and confidence you need to get your shot together and finally start taking steps in the right direction?
Yeah...today is going to be a deep dive into the world of PURPOSE and how suffering with depression can keep us from knowing and fulfilling our purpose.
Today is my Day Zero - the day where I (hopefully) can pull my head out of my ass and get back on track with actually living a life worth living.
I hope you enjoy it, but more importantly, hope you can see or hear yourself in my pain so that you realize one of the most important truths there is; you are not alone.

Do You Struggle With Self-Confidence? Here's What to Do About It
"Remember...it's not the mountains ahead of you to climb that wear you out. It's the pebble in your shoe."
What is the ONE PERSISTENT PROBLEM you've been facing for months or perhaps years that you can't get past no matter how much you try?
For me, it's breaking through on a BUSINESS level - being afraid to take my products, services, and myself to market.
What is it for you?
Specifically, which area of the PREP Work - Purpose, Relationships, Emotional, or Physical - have you been struggling with for as long as you can remember, and you're completely dumbfounded on what the problem is, let alone what to do about it?
Before you listen to today's edition of MMU Monday, pause for a moment and ask yourself what is the pebble in your shoe that is wearing you down and what is one empowering truth you can remind yourself of to remove that pebble every time it pops back in your shoe?

23 Regrets From 2023 and 23 Steps I Am Taking In 2024
EP117 - The number one regret of the dying is, "I wish I had lived a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
I can't even quantify how much time I waste worrying about what others think of me, what other people think I should do, or basing what I should do on what other people are doing, all of which are the perfect road map to regretting the life I live.
All I can do is reflect on some of my regrets and develop small, specific, and simple steps to leverage the lessons within those regrets.
That being said...I hope you enjoy today's episode, and that one if not many of the actions I am committed to taking will inspire you to Ignite the Impact you wish to see in your world.

How to Find and Fulfill Your Purpose In 2024
How are we going to make sure that 2024 is one of the best years of our lives?
I obviously can't answer that for you but for me, I know it's going to boil down to one thing above all - fulfillment of purpose.
But fulfilling your purpose means you first need to get clear on what your purpose is. In other words, what is the VISION you have for yourself and the effect you want to have on the lives of the people you love the most and/or the world as a whole?
That's what I'm going to dive into today. I hope that this MMU inspires you to Ignite the Impact you wish to see in your world.
