Lyfe by the Horns

Dustin Lunde

Lyfe By The Horns is about having honest conversations with entrepreneurs, leaders, and people committed to doing meaningful work—while also trying to be present at home, take care of their health, and grow in their faith. Every week, I sit down with folks who are navigating the highs and lows of business and life. We talk about what’s working, what’s not, and what it really looks like to build something that lasts—without sacrificing the things that matter most. This podcast isn’t about hacks, hype, or pretending to have it all figured out. It’s about showing up, learning from each other, and doing the work it takes to lead well—in business, at home, and everywhere in between. If you're someone who wants to grow without losing yourself in the process, I think you’ll get a lot out of these conversations.

    072: FAITH AFTER REAL LIFE | Why Faith Changes When Life Gets Hard

    Most people don't lose their faith. Life simply forces them to revisit what they thought they believed. Marriage. Children. Success. Failure. Loss. Responsibility. What once felt simple suddenly becomes more complicated—not because God changed, but because we did. In this episode of Lyfe By The Horns, Dustin Lunde sits down with Nick Morrill for one of their most honest conversations yet about what happens when faith meets real life. Together they unpack: • Why inherited faith eventually gets tested • How suffering reshapes what we believe • Why unanswered prayers may not be unanswered at all • Discernment, doubt and spiritual recalibration • The difference between performative faith and an authentic relationship with God • Why certainty isn't always the goal • What mature faith really looks like after life's hardest seasons Whether you've walked with God for decades, you're questioning what you believe, or you're simply searching for meaning, this conversation is an invitation to wrestle with the questions life eventually asks all of us. Because maybe spiritual maturity isn't having fewer questions... Maybe it's trusting God while you're carrying more of them. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW Lyfe by the Horns is where entrepreneurs, fathers, leaders, and high performers unpack the uncomfortable truths about business, masculinity, faith, discipline, and identity. No fake motivation. No surface-level self-help. Just real conversations about what it actually takes to lead. New episodes every Wednesday. On YT, Spotify and Apple.

    071: EVERY SERIOUS FOUNDER NEEDS A COACH | The Blind Spots Keeping High Performers Stuck

    Most founders think they need another strategy. Another book. Another podcast. Another tactic. But what if the biggest thing holding you back... isn't information? In this episode, Dustin Lunde sits down with transformational coach Neal Phalora to unpack why so many ambitious entrepreneurs plateau—not because they lack knowledge, but because they can't see their own blind spots. Together they explore: • Why successful people often become less coachable as they grow • The hidden cost of the lone wolf mentality • Why awareness alone doesn't create transformation • How identity shapes leadership, relationships and business • Nervous system regulation and peak performance • Why high achievers often struggle to receive • The real reason founders burn out while chasing success • Why coaching isn't about tactics—it's about perspective • How new behaviour creates a new identity If you're building a business, leading a team, or simply trying to become the man you're called to be, this conversation will challenge how you think about growth. Sometimes the next breakthrough isn't another strategy... It's finally seeing yourself clearly. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW Lyfe by the Horns is where experienced entrepreneurs, operators, and leaders unpack the real decisions that shape organizations — the ones most business podcasts avoid. 🔗 CONNECT WITH NEAL PHALORA Instagram: @nealphalora 🔥 FOLLOW LYFE BY THE HORNS Instagram: @officiallyfebythehorns TikTok: @lyfebythehorns 🚀 JOIN LIMITLESS LEADERS The leadership system for men who refuse to rely on control, proximity, or micromanagement.

    070: THE REBUILD: How Successful Men Lose Themselves After Winning

    Most men spend the first half of their lives building. Building businesses. Building careers. Building wealth. Building reputations. And then one day they wake up and realise something uncomfortable: The success they worked so hard for didn't fix what they thought it would. This week, Dustin sits down once again with performance coach, speaker, and author Jake Kauffman to unpack the hidden side of achievement, why so many successful men still feel empty, and what happens when the goals, habits, and identity that built your success stop giving you peace. Together they explore: • Why achievement often becomes a substitute for healing • The hidden wounds driving many high performers • Why success can become a game you can never win • The difference between achievement and fulfillment • Why some men can achieve anything but struggle to feel joy • How unresolved pain becomes fuel for ambition • Why the second half of life requires a different identity • Pain pushes. Vision pulls. • How to rebuild your life after success stops working • What true success actually looks like If you've ever achieved a goal only to find yourself asking, "Is this it?" — this conversation is for you. Because sometimes growth isn't about building more. Sometimes it's about rebuilding yourself. 🎙 Connect with Jake Kauffman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamjakekauffman Join LIMITLESS LEADERS The leadership system for men who refuse to rely on control, proximity, or micromanagement.

    069: WHY NOBODY IS HEARING YOU - How To Find Your Voice And Lead With Confidence | Robyn Riedlinger

    068: THE MORNING PHONE HABIT - The Hidden Addiction Destroying Men's Focus

    Most men think they're tired because they're working hard. That's not the full story. In this episode of Lyfe by the Horns, Dustin Lunde and Jarvis Gatlin unpack the hidden cost of modern overstimulation and why so many men feel mentally exhausted, distracted, impatient, and disconnected from what matters most. From phones and social media to constant notifications, caffeine, gambling, sports, endless content, and digital noise, modern men are living in a state of permanent reaction. The result? Less focus. Less patience. Less creativity. Less presence. This conversation explores the biological, psychological, and practical reasons attention has become one of the most valuable leadership assets a man can possess—and how to start reclaiming it before the world takes it from you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why grabbing your phone first thing in the morning changes your brain chemistry How overstimulation affects leadership, relationships, and emotional regulation The connection between dopamine, distraction, and modern attention spans Why so many men struggle with stillness and silence The hidden cost of constant consumption How overstimulation destroys patience A practical morning routine to reclaim focus and mental clarity Nutrition habits that support attention and performance Why rest is essential for growth and high performance The difference between entertainment and emotional avoidance ABOUT LYFE BY THE HORNS Lyfe by the Horns is for entrepreneurs, leaders, fathers, and men pursuing growth.

    067: THE WEIGHT MEN CARRY: How To Hold The Silent Pressures on Modern Men

    Behind the business success, leadership titles, strong marriages, discipline, gym photos, and provider mindset… many men are carrying pressure they never talk about. In this special episode of Lyfe by the Horns, Dustin Lunde sits down with three of the most impactful voices from our Limitless Leaders program — Nick Morrill, Flint Anderson, and Miles Welch — for a raw conversation about the modern pressures men silently carry. This isn’t a conversation about victimhood. It’s about responsibility, leadership, faith, insecurity, emotional suppression, ambition, burnout, identity, and the internal battles most men never say out loud. Nick opens up about addiction, performance-based identity, fatherhood, masculinity, and how faith reshaped the way he leads his family and business. Flint breaks down why so many men cope alone, why vulnerability often gets weaponized, and why men quietly shut down instead of asking for help. Miles explores the dark side of leadership — insecurity, ego, imposter syndrome, self-preservation, and how pressure exposes the parts of ourselves we try hardest to hide. Different experiences. Different coping mechanisms. One shared reality: The weight men carry is real. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN Why high-performing men often feel emotionally isolated How performance-based identity quietly destroys fulfillment The connection between masculinity, faith, and responsibility Why men suppress emotions instead of processing them The dark side of leadership and insecurity How social media and comparison culture are affecting younger men Why vulnerability feels dangerous for many men The difference between strength and emotional shutdown How leadership pressure amplifies unresolved internal struggles Why honest conversations between men matter more than ever 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW Lyfe by the Horns is where entrepreneurs, fathers, leaders, and high performers unpack the uncomfortable truths about business, masculinity, faith, discipline, and identity.

    066: FAITH ISN'T YOUR PROBLEM - Avoidance Is

    Most men already know what they need to do. The apology. The business decision. The leap. The conversation. But instead of moving… they wait. They wait for clarity. They wait for certainty. They wait for a sign. And sometimes that’s wisdom. But sometimes? It’s fear disguised as faith. In this episode of Lyfe by the Horns, Dustin Lunde and Nick unpack one of the most dangerous traps men fall into: Using spiritual language to justify hesitation. From “I’m praying on it” to “I’m waiting for discernment,” this conversation explores the fine line between patience and avoidance — and how a life built on hesitation slowly destroys confidence, leadership, relationships, and identity. Because faith was never meant to remove fear. It was meant to help you move through it. This episode dives deep into: fear disguised as discernment, analysis paralysis, imposter syndrome, control, obedience, leadership, fatherhood, business pressure, and the uncomfortable reality that clarity often comes after movement — not before it. If you’ve been stuck waiting for the perfect sign… this conversation may be the wake-up call you need. 🎯 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN Why men hide behind “waiting for clarity” The difference between discernment and fear How avoidance slowly destroys confidence Why clarity often follows movement The danger of overthinking and analysis paralysis How fear disguises itself as patience and wisdom Why trying to control everything creates suffering The real meaning of faith, obedience, and surrender How imposter syndrome keeps leaders stuck The hidden cost of hesitation in business and family Why movement matters more than certainty How men confuse comfort with spiritual maturity Most men don’t need more information. They need movement. Because eventually… a life built on hesitation becomes regret. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW Lyfe by the Horns is where entrepreneurs, fathers, leaders, and high performers unpack the uncomfortable truths about business, masculinity, faith, discipline, and identity.

    065: THE BROKEN MARRIAGE FOUNDER - How My Ambition Left My Family With Nothing

    Most ambitious men don’t wake up one day and decide to neglect their marriage or family. It happens slowly. One late night at the office. One emotionally exhausted evening at home. One more weekend spent “trying to build something better for everyone.” And before they realize it… they’re providing everything except their presence. In this episode of Lyfe by the Horns, Dustin Lunde and Jarvis Gatlin unpack the silent cost of unchecked ambition — and what happens when success starts replacing connection inside the home. Because for many men… work becomes the place they feel: 👉 control 👉 progress 👉 validation 👉 certainty while relationships begin to feel emotionally complicated, unpredictable, and draining. This conversation dives deep into: emotional absence in marriage escaping into work perfectionism and performance-based identity transactional love drinking and emotional numbing fatherhood and presence and why so many men become strangers inside their own homes while trying to “build a better life.” Dustin shares candidly about: using work to avoid emotional discomfort feeling anxious at home despite business success giving clients and business the best version of himself and realizing his family was surviving off the leftovers. This episode isn’t about abandoning ambition. It’s about learning that success means nothing if the people you built it for no longer feel connected to you. 🎯 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN Why ambitious men often tie their identity to providing How work can become an emotional escape The difference between providing and truly being present Early warning signs that emotional disconnection is happening at home Why many marriages quietly shift from love into simple “connection” How emotional neglect impacts children long term Why perfectionism and performance culture damage relationships The hidden cost of giving your business your emotional bandwidth How drinking and numbing behaviors amplify disconnection Why difficult conversations are necessary for healthy marriages Simple ways couples can rebuild intentional connection Why presence matters more than success long term One of the hardest truths in this episode: 👉 Businesses can recover from difficult seasons. Some relationships never recover from years of emotional absence. And for many men… the wake-up call comes too late. This episode is a reminder that your family does not just need your effort. They need you. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW Lyfe by the Horns is where entrepreneurs, operators, and leaders unpack the uncomfortable truths around business, identity, leadership, relationships, discipline, and growth.
