    I'm the Strong Leader. Depression Doesn't Happen to People Like Me

    You're the strong one. The leader everyone leans on, who keeps going whatever gets thrown at him. And quietly, you believe this doesn't happen to people like you. Feeling stressed and exhausted? Don’t let it become burnout. I built an AI assistant to show you what’s draining you, the Lifestyle MOT. 3 mins, 15 simple questions, and you get a personal review plus a call with me. http://highvaluemanproject.com/score Neil Betts believed it too. He went from apprentice in blue overalls to engineer in white, and was sent to Australia to turn round a failing power station, until pressure at work and a clash with his values caught up with him and one night at 2am he woke up crying. Neil explains how it crept up, why he cut everyone off, what got him back, and how a man who didn't know what good looked like built a YouTube channel of over 100,000 subscribers. WHY THIS MATTERS The man who keeps going whatever gets thrown at him is often the last to notice he's running dry. By the time it shows, it has usually been leaking for years.

    Power Over Panic How Men Stay Strong in Uncertain Times

    It's not a war, a recession or another lockdown. And yet it is a crazy time. Loads of uncertainty, loads of change. Competition from AI, threats from all kinds of new directions and costs going through the roof everywhere. The biggest challenge facing midlife men is redundancy and business pressure brought on by World leaders playing war games. Jonnie knows five men in his immediate life who have recently lost senior, well-paid jobs. And yet in amongst these crazy times he also has men inside the High Value Man Project who are finding power not panic. Evolving, adjusting and staying faithful to their strengths and potential. Not sure how the pressure is showing up in your life? The Lifestyle MOT tells you in three minutes. https://highvaluemanproject.com/score Tough times can come from anywhere, and right now they're coming from everywhere. You can't stop that. What you can decide is whether it consumes you, or whether you find your power in the middle of it and keep doing the things that matter for your family, your friends and yourself. This episode is about how the men getting through this well do it, and why it starts with a very different question to the one keeping you up at 3am. WHY THIS MATTERS The longer panic runs, the more it costs you. Worse decisions at work, less of you at home. The men who ride this out strong aren't luckier. They're doing a few simple things on purpose. HIGH VALUE MOMENTS 03:17 Not a War, Not a Recession.

    The Provider Trap That Kills A Mans Marriage feat: Marty Hoffman

    You're working this hard for your family. So why does she feel like she's lost you? Not sure where your marriage is drifting while you're busy providing? The Lifestyle MOT shows you in three minutes. https://highvaluemanproject.com/score Marty Hofmann is a property investor, ultrarunner, father of six and author of Kill Complacency. Sixteen or seventeen years into his marriage, his wife told him she was thinking of leaving. He'd been doing everything a provider is supposed to do. It wasn't what she needed. This one is for the dad who's grafting for his family and quietly losing touch with them, and it's about what turns it round before the walk happens to you. WHY THIS MATTERSDrift doesn't announce itself. By the time she says it out loud, she's usually been feeling it for years. Hear this before your version of that conversation, not after it.

    Awkward Conversations Are The Ones You Should Be Having

    Difficult conversations get avoided but the longer you put them off the more they drag you down. Take marriage or relationships. She already knows something's off. You can bring it up on your terms, or wait for life to bring it up for you. Carrying a conversation you can't find the words for? Book a 20-minute Turbo Call with Jonnie: https://highvaluemanproject.com/turbocall In this solo episode, Jonnie Jensen gets into the conversations men avoid with the people closest to them, about money, sex, the health of the relationship or the future of the business, and why putting them off makes them worse, not better. He shares how he sat on the money pressure himself this summer, what Jo said when it finally came out, and a practical way to raise a hard subject so it lands as an invitation rather than an ambush. For any man who has been rehearsing something in his head for longer than he'd like to admit. WHY THIS MATTERS Every conversation you dodge teaches your brain it's dangerous, and the people around you feel the distance long before you say a word. Leave it long enough and circumstances will force it for you, on worse terms. HIGH VALUE MOMENTS 02:11 Understanding the Consequences of Avoidance05:07 Personal Experiences with Avoidance08:05 Strategies for Initiating Tough Talks10:49 Creating Win-Win Conversations START CREATING YOUR HIGH VALUE MAN LIFESTYLE A Turbo Call is 20 minutes with Jonnie to get clear on what's going on and whether the High Value Man Project is right for you. https://highvaluemanproject.com/turbocall SUBSCRIBE & PASS THE JONNIE JENSEN SHOW ON Know a man who's gone quiet lately and keeps saying "all good, mate"?

    Don't Be Nice, Be Respected feat. Danny M Goldberg

    You were raised to be the nice guy. Nice gets you taken advantage of at work, at home and by your own kids. This isn't about being an arsehole. It's about being clear enough that people know you could be one. Rebuilding after divorce, or just tired of being the pushover at home? I created the Lifestyle MOT to show you exactly where to start. 3 mins, 15 simple questions, and you get a personal review back from me: https://highvaluemanproject.com/score Danny M Goldberg has spent seventeen years training Fortune 500 companies and government agencies to have difficult conversations, and wrote A Little Bit of A$$hole after realising he'd lost his own voice at home. This one is for the man who says yes when he means no, explains every decision, and then wonders why he's not taken seriously by his partner, his team or his kids. Jonnie and Danny talk through divorce, dating again with your eyes open, and why nice men don't avoid the row, they postpone it until it blows. WHY THIS MATTERS The cost of nice builds up quietly. The boss who asks too much, the partner who stops seeing you as the man she fell for, the teenager who learns your no means "ask again later". This hour gives you the language to set the line early, before you end up drawing it in the middle of a blow-up. HIGH VALUE MOMENTS 08:21 Getting divorced is awful. Being divorced is great.16:55 Why clarity in your fifties makes you more attractive, at home and in business21:17 "Be nice," they said. The bullies loved it.25:53 Set the expectation before you need the row29:09 Why second marriages repeat the first33:41 "Would you like to come up to this bar with me?"39:47 The 24-hour challenge44:14 Toxic people are toxic.

    Forget January Resolutions - This Is The Best Time For Success

    Fourteen weeks to December...I'm not saying the C word! Many men will coast through, arrive in December knackered and slightly disappointed, and then promise themselves something on the 1st of January. FORGE starts in October. Eight weeks, small group, sixteen men, finishing before December even starts. This episode is the argument, FORGE is how it actually happens: https://live.highvaluemanproject.com/forge September to December is the most workable stretch in the calendar and it is the one most men write off. In this solo episode Jonnie makes the case for the fourteen week run: why the conditions in September beat the conditions in January, why the pressure a man feels about a busy autumn is almost always anticipated rather than real, and what it takes to arrive at the 20th of December with nothing hanging over him. He is open that this time of year does his head in too, and uses his own September, two kids out every night, a Hyrox at the end of October, to show what handling it badly looks like before turning it into something a man can use. WHY THIS MATTERS A resolution has no scoreboard. It runs to nothing and dies quietly in February, which is why most men have had the same January more than once. Christmas is a real date. The men who treat these fourteen weeks as a deadline rather than a wind down arrive at it with something to celebrate instead of something to apologise for, and their families get a December with a man in it rather than a man catching up. HIGH VALUE MOMENTS 03:19 Why September Cranks Me Up Every Year 05:58 The Pressure Is Not Real. It's Anticipated. 09:21 Don't Make Her Everything 11:50 Work Back From Christmas Day 14:48 Protect December FORGE STARTS IN OCTOBER Eight weeks, small group, sixteen men. It runs through October and November, which means the work is finished before December even starts. Weekly 90 minute group calls, the FIRE CODE tracker, a cohort WhatsApp group, and accountability that starts the day you join rather than the day the sessions do. Fourteen weeks. Don't spend them on your own. https://live.highvaluemanproject.com/forge SHARE / REVIEW / SUBSCRIBE Send this to the mate who tells you every single January that this year is his year.

    The Holiday Pressure Trap

    You saved for it. You booked it. You told everyone it was going to be brilliant. That's exactly why it turned into a row by day three. Do not fall into the holiday pressure trap. See exactly where your energy, connection and joy is leaking. The free HVM Scorecard takes three minutes https://highvaluemanproject.com/score Jonnie is back from ten days in France with his two kids and one of their mates, and this episode is the honest version of how a family holiday actually goes well. Not the destination, not the budget, not the itinerary. The pressure a man loads onto the trip before he has even left the house, and what happens to his wife and kids when reality does not match the picture in his head. He shares what he does before he packs the boot, on the drive, at the dinner table and in the moments he deliberately steps back to catch. WHY THIS MATTERS For most men the holiday is the one stretch of the year his family gets all of him, and he arrives too loaded to give it. What he wanted to be the best fortnight of the year becomes the one everyone remembers for the wrong reasons. The cost is not a wasted week. It is another year of his kids and his partner learning what he is like under pressure.

    You Think You're Invincible. Then You Turn 45 feat. Oliver Anwar

    You never decided to let your health go. You just kept spending it, because it kept paying out. It stops paying out at about 45. Find out where you're leaking energy, focus and drive. Take your free HVM Score: https://highvaluemanproject.com/score Oliver Anwar is an executive health coach working with entrepreneurs and senior executives around the world, based in Dubai. Eight years ago he was broke and filling vending machines in central London at 4am. He builds his coaching around blood work rather than the scales, and he is blunt about what men are getting wrong before they reach for TRT or a weight loss jab. He and Jonnie get into the crisis that arrives at 40 to 45, why identity beats discipline, and what a man can actually do about it starting tomorrow. WHY THIS MATTERS The men in this conversation are not unwell. They are successful, capable, and quietly running on a baseline nobody has ever measured. The bill for that lands somewhere between 40 and 50, usually in a doctor's room, and by then the options are worse and the price is higher. Nothing in this episode takes more than ten minutes a day to start.
