    You Don't Need More Motivation w/ Tony Galati

    Send us Fan Mail What is a faith-first peer group and how can it help my leadership? How can business coaching improve my family, fitness, and finances? What are the benefits of joining a men's executive coaching or peer group? This week on the MOI Podcast, we sit down with Tony Galati, Director of Three Summits Coaching by Men of Iron, to dig deep into how men can truly thrive in their faith, family, friendships, fitness, and finances. Tony shares his journey from iron rep to leader of an executive coaching ministry, explaining why Three Summits Coaching is designed for men who want to level up in all areas of life—not just the boardroom, but at home and within. "Faith first" isn't just a slogan—Tony explains how peer groups and executive coaching sessions are structured to foster vulnerability, accountability, and real results in marriages, parenting, business, and spiritual leadership. Each session includes a practical scorecard on the Core 5 (faith, family, friends, fitness, finances), leadership training from experienced CEOs, and powerful issue processing that helps men identify and conquer their biggest obstacles. Not only do these groups help leaders grow, but every investment made directly supports Men of Iron's broader mission to equip men everywhere. If you want to find godly friendships, learn to lead with integrity at work and home, or are hungry for growth as a man of faith, you don't want to miss this conversation with Tony.  https://threesummitscoaching.com/ Take the Core5 Assessment: See where you stand in Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness, and Finances—and identify your next step.

  2. The Solution to Stop Feeling Stuck (w/ Tony Galati)

    The Solution to Stop Feeling Stuck (w/ Tony Galati)

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Men of Iron Podcast, a Christian podcast for men, Tony Galati shares how one small step of obedience through mentorship changed the trajectory of his entire life. Tony was the very first Men of Iron protégé nearly 20 years ago. At the time, he was sitting in church, hearing about mentorship, and immediately thinking of every reason why it was not for him. He had things in his life he did not want to talk about, a marriage in crisis, and a faith that felt present but not fully surrendered. But after feeling a clear nudge from the Holy Spirit, Tony signed up for mentorship—and was paired with Men of Iron founder Bryan Zeamer. That one decision led to a life-changing relationship. Tony shares how mentorship helped him grow closer to God, build spiritual discipline, practice vulnerability, and learn the power of accountability. He talks about the morning rhythm that changed his walk with God, the role of a mentor in hard seasons, and why every man needs another man walking with him. This conversation is a powerful reminder that mentorship does not require perfection. A mentor simply needs to be one season ahead and willing to walk with another man. Tony’s story shows how God can use one relationship to shape a man, impact a family, and influence generations. If you are a man who feels stuck, disconnected from God, unsure how to grow, or hesitant to ask for help, this episode will challenge you to take one small step forward. Mentorship is not complicated, but it does require humility, consistency, and obedience.  Timestamps 00:00 — Tony Galati on the small step of obedience that changed his life 00:21 — Welcome to the Men of Iron Podcast 00:50 — Tony Galati: the first Men of Iron protégé 01:25 — Why mentorship can feel intimidating for men 01:51 — How Tony first heard about Men of Iron at Victory Church 02:15 — Fighting the nudge to sign up for mentorship 03:00 — Being paired with Bryan Zeamer as his mentor 04:40 — Strong27 mentorship and why every man needs a mentor 05:13 — How mentorship shaped Tony’s life and future 05:55 — What Tony’s life looked like 20 years ago 06:43 — Walking through a marriage crisis during mentorship 07:30 — Shifting the focus from circumstances to God 08:00 — Spiritual disciplines, scripture, and accountability 08:40 — Why goals are hard without another man walking with you 08:50 — Tony’s relationship with God before mentorship 10:13 — How mentorship transformed Tony’s faith 10:52 — Why men struggle with vulnerability and one-on-one relationships 11:38 — What actually happens in a mentorship meeting 12:10 — Setting goals and asking God what needs to change 13:00 — Tony’s morning discipline that changed everything 14:30 — Starting the day with God before anything else 15:52 — Accountability that lasted for 20 years 16:22 — Letting God work on what Tony could not control 17:40 — Staying connected with men after the first year 19:10 — What mentors and protégés talk about 19:21 — Core5: Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness, and Finances 19:53 — Why Strong27 starts with faith 20:36 — Turning a spiritual goal into a clear action step 21:35 — Why mentorship felt scary but necessary 22:46 — How mentorship developed leaders in the church 23:32 — Meeting men where they are with different resources 24:40 — What is an Iron Rep? 25:43 — Equilibrium retreats and the power of getting away with men 26:40 — Why Strong27 one-on-one mentorship matters 27:47 — Tony’s experience mentoring other men 29:00 — Learning to mentor through friendship and consistency 31:39 — You only need to be one season ahead to mentor 33:07 — How one man’s life can impact many others 34:57 — Showing up, saying yes, and living out the call 35:38 — How mentorship changes families and generations 37:26 — The generational tone every man sets 38:04 — Tony reflects on 20 years of God’s faithfulness 39:19 — How to start with Strong27 mentorship 39:53 — Men of Iron outro If you’re ready to level up as a man, check out Strong 27 mentorship and other resources Take the Core5 Assessment: See where you stand in Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness, and Finances—and identify your next step.
