    You’re a Good Dad. But Are You Still Her Husband? | Larry Hagner (The Dad Edge) - Episode 93

    What if the moment your wife stops pushing back is the moment to pay closer attention? Larry Hagner, founder of The Dad Edge, joins Kevin Davis on Maxed Out Man for a candid conversation about marriage drift, fatherhood, forgiveness and learning the skills a strong family needs. Larry shares how abuse and abandonment shaped his childhood, the unexpected encounters that brought his father back into his life, and the difficult work of building a relationship after years of hurt. Kevin opens up about his own family history and what happens when avoiding a hard decision affects generations. The conversation turns to Larry's marriage and the day his wife, Jessica, told him, “You're losing me.” He explains how trying to hide his struggles left her feeling shut out—and why wanting a good marriage wasn't the same as knowing how to build one. Together, they explore responding instead of reacting, making difficult conversations safer, and setting guardrails before the next disagreement. They also discuss why prioritizing your marriage can be a gift to your children, and the everyday ways kids learn what love looks like. If you've been treating the absence of arguments as proof that everything is fine, this conversation gives you a reason to check in.

    Why Businessmen Over 40 Are Silently Failing Their Families | Jeff Later - Episode 92

    Your business is growing. Your energy is shrinking. Your family gets whatever you have left. Is that really success? Performance coach and IFBB pro Jeff Later joins Kevin Davis and Victor Garcia to challenge a belief many men carry into their 40s: that sacrificing their health is the price of getting ahead. Jeff explains why fitness belongs alongside your business and family priorities, how sleep and recovery affect your ability to show up, and why experience in the gym doesn’t always translate into results. The conversation also explores accountability, sustainable habits, identity change, and the example you set for your children. They also discuss weight-loss medication, bloodwork, and testosterone, sharing their perspectives and personal experiences. If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll get healthy when life slows down, this episode challenges you to start now. Connect with Jeff Later: https://www.instagram.com/coachjefflater/ https://gomusclemastery.com/ Takeaways: • Stop treating your health as something you can address after achieving success. • Build a consistent sleep routine to support your energy at work and at home. • Treat training, nutrition, and recovery as connected parts of your fitness plan. • Recognize when pride or familiarity is keeping you from seeking coaching. • Use achievable habits and small wins to build a stronger identity. • Remember that your family learns from the example you live.

Chad shares his journey from personal trainer to fitness author, focusing on how fitness has to fit into one’s life sustainably. Emphasizing the "fitness pivot" approach, Chad highlights the importance of adaptability and flexibility in maintaining long-term fitness.

His mission is to help clients shift from short-term motivation to a lasting commitment that turns fitness into an integral part of life.

    Episode 87 - Mastering the Mindset: Michael Sartain on Confidence and Attraction

    Summary: In this episode of Maxed Out Man, host Kevin Davis speaks with Michael Sartain, a performance coach and founder of the Men of Action program. Michael dives deep into what truly attracts women to men, debunking common myths about looks and wealth while exploring status, confidence, and behavioral cues that signal attraction.  He shares insights from evolutionary psychology, explaining concepts like "mate choice copying" and "pre-selection." The discussion also highlights the importance of social proof, competence, and establishing boundaries in relationships. Michael’s program emphasizes self-improvement through leadership, social dynamics, and living with integrity, helping men build authentic connections and reach their full potential. Key Takeaways: Social Proof Matters: Women are drawn to men who are respected and admired by others; being seen with high-status individuals boosts perceived attractiveness.Competence Over Wealth: Real attraction comes from confidence and capability, not just financial success.Boundaries Are Key: Setting clear boundaries is essential in relationships; doing everything a partner wants can be perceived as weakness.Integrity and Accountability: Living with honesty and purpose builds trust and confidence, which are fundamental to successful relationships.Self-Improvement Through Action: Building attraction and influence requires ongoing self-improvement, showing up authentically, and embracing growth.Here are the main strategies Michael Sartain recommends for attracting and building successful relationships: Leverage Social Proof and Pre-Selection:Surround yourself with high-status individuals and be seen in positive social contexts, as people (especially women) are naturally attracted to men respected by others. Displaying pre-selection—being around women who are interested in you—also boosts attractiveness.Develop Competence and Confidence:Rather than focusing solely on money or looks, men should work on personal skills and competencies. This includes charisma, humor, and the ability to navigate social situations, all of which signal high social value and self-assuredness.Create and Maintain Boundaries:In relationships, Michael emphasizes that doing everything a partner asks can be counterproductive, as it can signal a lack of backbone. Instead, maintain your values and boundaries to show strength and consistency.Embrace Integrity and Accountability:Be honest and purposeful in your actions. Integrity in words and behavior builds trust, while a commitment to self-improvement fosters authentic connections and makes you more attractive long-term.Prioritize Action and Self-Improvement:The “Men of Action” approach encourages continuous self-growth through setting and accomplishing personal goals. Michael’s philosophy highlights that the best way to improve social and relationship dynamics is through action, not just theory.These strategies together create a foundation for building not just attraction but also meaningful, resilient relationships.
