    Hanging Out With Presidents, Popes, and the Homeless | What 'To Whom Much Is Given' Demands of Us (Mike Guarino)

    Mike Guarino has built successful businesses, led thousands of physicians, testified before Congress, and met presidents, popes, and CEOs. But the moment that changed his life happened in a church during his nonverbal daughter’s First Communion. What he witnessed in that moment reshaped the way he thinks about success, money, leadership, and responsibility. Since then, Mike has spent decades mentoring young people, serving the homeless, funding opportunities for others to encounter Christ, and challenging people to stop waiting for someone else to step up. Phil and Mike discuss the question that drives many of his biggest decisions, why courage requires action, what leaders owe the people around them, and why he refuses to put a dollar between people and Christ. What ties all of these stories together is a simple conviction: To whom much is given, much is required. 0:00 Intro 06:50 Business Success Through Relationships 12:05 Spiritual Discipline and Daily Prayer 17:22 Mentoring the Next Generation 24:40 Serving the Homeless 32:09 The Eucharistic Encounter 41:39 To Whom Much Is Given 47:05 The Marian Shrine Vision 52:10 The Fire and Ice Challenge Resources Mentioned: Legatus https://legatus.org/blog/legatus-names-philanthropist-and-healthcare-leader-michael-guarino-2025-ambassador-of-the-year 📚 Followed by God by John Eldredge 📚 Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy by Matthew Kelly 📚 Holy Moments by Matthew Kelly 📚 Catholic Men Will Make America Great Again 🎬 The Great Awakening 🎬 The Island 🎬 Entertaining Angels ⚙️ Download The Purpose Matrix tool: https://www.thepurposematrix.com/ Follow @PhilOnPurpose https://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpurpose

    The One Thing That Changes Everything: Six Men Living Iron Sharpens Iron (Forge Men's Group)

    Six men started with a simple goal: Stay consistent with fitness after Exodus 90 ended. Two years later, that small accountability group has become something much bigger. They meet at 5:15 every other Friday morning, track habits together, read books and scripture together, challenge each other’s blind spots, and refuse to let one another drift into complacency. The discussion follows how the group was built, how they choose members, what they track, and why accountability works differently when it becomes brotherhood. They share the impact on their marriages, faith, parenting, careers, and personal discipline. Several themes emerge throughout the discussion: Discipline creates freedom. Growth requires sacrifice. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. And most importantly: life was never meant to be lived alone. The conversation ends with a challenge. Good times can create complacency. The responsibility of every generation is to resist that pull and become the kind of men others can follow. 0:00 Intro 00:40 Meet the Forge Men 04:00 How the Group Started 07:53 Structure and Meeting Rhythm 10:20 Traits of Strong Accountability Partners 14:50 Goals, Habits, and Scorecards 19:00 How Brotherhood Changed Their Lives 23:11 Vulnerability, Marriage, and Real Struggles 33:57 Leading Families by Example 41:13 The Compounding Effect of Accountability 46:09 The Future of Forge Men’s Group 55:00 The Cost of Becoming Better 59:04 One Lesson From Each Man 01:01:45 Good Times Create Weak Men Resources Mentioned: Forge Men's Group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forge_mens_group Follow @PhilOnPurpose https://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpurpose

    The Hidden Cost of Success Nobody Talks About (Dr. Jeremy Mathis)

    Dr. Jeremy Mathis watched two highly successful physicians die while the system around them barely slowed down… Their careers had consumed their lives, their families were struggling, and when they were gone, their schedules were simply filled by someone else.  That experience forced him to confront a difficult question: What if the default definition of success leads somewhere you never intended to go? As an orthopedic surgeon, husband, and father, Jeremy began designing his life around the things he didn’t want to lose. He shares how that led to the creation of the “Mathis Manifesto,” a collection of lessons on relationships, money, parenting, and independent thinking that he’s intentionally passing on to his children. Phil and Jeremy discuss why work-life balance misses the point, how identity gets confused with achievement, why seasons of life should shape your priorities, and what it means to live your legacy instead of leaving it behind for someone else to discover. 0:00 Intro 7:30 The Mathis Manifesto 12:44 Teaching Kids Through Life 17:53 Your Career Is Not Your Identity 22:44 Live Your Legacy  Resources Mentioned: 📚 Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki 📚 How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie 📚 The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom 📚 The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss 📚 The Action Bible  ⚙️ Download The Purpose Matrix tool: https://www.thepurposematrix.com/  Follow @PhilOnPurpose https://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpurpose

    The 3 Mindset Equations That Shape Your Life

    Most people are living from a mindset they never intentionally built. A spilled glass of milk. A road rage moment. A bad test score. Phil Moeller walks through how the way we see situations shapes how we think, feel, and act. Over time, those reactions become identity. Drawing from As a Man Thinketh, Focus 3 principles, and personal experience, Phil breaks down the mindset cycle that quietly drives everyday life. Tune in and explore how attention shapes perception, why the brain filters for what it expects to see, and how intentional exposure can completely reshape the way someone lives. 0:00 Intro 03:53 Building Your Mindset Intentionally 10:17 Victim Mindset vs Purpose Mindset 14:44 Internal Peace vs External Results 18:03 How to Audit and Strengthen Your Mindset Resources Mentioned: 📚 As a Man Thinketh by James Allen 📚 Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki 📚 Focus 3 by Tim Kight Follow @PhilOnPurpose https://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpurpose

    Bo Parfet on Failure, Regret, and Turning Adversity into Purpose

    Bo Parfet was told he would never graduate high school. He struggled with dyslexia, ADHD, speech impediments, and years of feeling behind everyone else. But those same struggles became the foundation for everything he’s accomplished today. After building and exiting a successful real estate business, Bo realized success alone wasn’t enough… A conversation with his wife, a hospice chaplain, forced him to rethink purpose, regret, and the kind of life he actually wanted to live. Today, Bo helps lead a multi-billion-dollar investment firm focused on solving problems like housing affordability, loneliness, literacy, and community. He’s climbed Mount Everest from both sides, helped restore eyesight for tens of thousands of people around the world, and is living a life centered around service instead of status. This episode digs into adversity, authentic living, emotional healing, intentional parenting, faith-driven leadership, and why the people who impact the world most are usually the ones who learned how to suffer well. 0:00 Intro 05:58 Leadership and the Resilience of Failure 10:54 Finding Purpose and Living Authentically 15:01 Growth Through Setbacks and Adversity 20:25 Solving the Loneliness Crisis Through Community 26:01 Mountaineering, Healing, and Emotional Recovery 30:05 Restoring Sight and Creating Global Impact 36:16 Intentional Parenting and Rites of Passage 41:01 Service, Legacy, and Getting to Heaven Exhausted  Resources Mentioned: Connect with Bo https://www.boparfet.com/  DLP Capital https://dlpcapital.com SEE International https://www.seeintl.org Mark Batterson books https://www.markbatterson.com/books/  Follow @PhilOnPurpose https://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpurpose

    Lessons on Adversity, Discipline and Relentless Effort from Coach Tom Izzo (Kyle Ahrens)

    Kyle Ahrens spent five years inside Tom Izzo’s program at Michigan State where discipline was expected, accountability was constant, and nobody was allowed to coast. Then injuries hit… He broke his foot, came back too early, broke it again, and lost an entire season after working all summer to earn his spot. That experience reshaped the way he thinks about adversity, preparation, and what actually creates resilience over time. Today, Kyle works in business, raises young kids, and still carries the same mindset that shaped him as an athlete. This episode digs into why strong communities matter, why relationships make hard seasons survivable, and how small daily actions quietly shape who you become. 0:00 Intro 05:50 Balancing Hard Work With Family and Community 10:11 Building Teams Through Accountability 15:46 Relationship Driven Leadership 20:03 Applying Competitive Discipline to Business 24:45 Modeling Discipline for Kids 29:55 Relentlessness and Controlling the Controllables 34:55 Learning From Failure and Preparation 39:35 Courage Through Small Daily Actions 44:47 Mentorship, Transition, and Asking for Help  Resources Mentioned: Michigan State University https://msu.edu Phelan Insurance https://www.phelanins.com  Follow @PhilOnPurpose https://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpurpose

    You Won’t Regret Failure. You’ll Regret Inaction. (Matt King)

    A 22-year-old suddenly passes away in a basement before a night out. No warning. No chance to do anything he planned… That moment never left Matt King. He’s a husband, a father of three young kids, a CEO, and a leader responsible for people, companies, and decisions that don’t slow down. At the same time, he’s training for a 2000-mile ride from Mexico to Canada (despite never being a cyclist). Along the way, he plans to stop in small towns and meet families dealing with loss, trauma, and situations they didn’t choose. Some people carry regret from what they did. Others carry something heavier. This episode forces a question most people avoid…and will put you face to face with it. 0:00 Intro 02:00 Who Is Matt King 04:46 The Graveyard and Unlived Potential 07:04 Regret vs Awareness 11:03 Asking for a Do Over 15:04 Letting Go of Other People’s Problems 19:13 Work, Fatherhood, and Example 22:03 Riding From Mexico to Canada 24:42 Supporting Families Along the Route 30:19 Living Fully With Limited Time 35:08 Leadership Through Questions 38:19 Training for a 2000-Mile Ride 40:52 Chosen Hard Versus Unchosen Hard 45:09 Back theRide Resources Mentioned: theRide https://backtheride.com Gobundance https://gobundance.com/ Follow @PhilOnPurpose https://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpurpose

    How Who You Watch Shapes You, and Leading a 100 Year old Company (Brian Seitz)

    A college senior sits with a professor and admits he has no clear career path. The advice is simple: Watch who’s successful and do what they do. Brian Seitz leaves that conversation and starts paying attention to one person in his hometown. It leads to a conversation in a local bar and a job (that he had no experience for). What follows is years of rejection, relationship building, and learning how the business actually works. That same idea keeps showing up as the stakes get higher… Who you follow early starts to shape how you hire, how you lead, and what you’re willing to change later. If you’re choosing a path or leading a team, this sharpens how much the people you watch quietly define everything after. 0:00 Intro 01:31 Joining a Century-Old Business 03:08 Career Advice That Changed Direction 05:47 Defining Success Through Behavior 08:43 Early Sales and Rejection 12:46 Building a Client Base from Zero 16:50 Transition Into Ownership 18:47 Empowering the Right People 22:44 Protecting the Team Culture 25:46 Leading by Example at Work 29:44 Growth Requires the Right People 33:47 Changing Work to Support Family 40:46 What Success Looks Like Now Connect with Brian: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-d-seitz-cic-64957379 Leugers Insurance Agency https://leugersins.com/ Follow @PhilOnPurpose https://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpurpose
