Feeling stretched too thin? Overwhelmed by endless commitments? You're not alone. In this transformative episode, Robert J Hunt (known as "the accountability guy") reveals how creating "margin" in your life can be the difference between constant burnout and sustainable excellence.

Robert shares his powerful personal journey of facing $90,000 in consumer debt and making the radical decision to sell his home and start over. This vulnerability becomes the foundation for a complete life reset that doubled his business while restoring his marriage, faith, and sense of purpose. The catalyst? Accepting that "nobody cares until you do" – taking full ownership of his circumstances rather than blaming, making excuses, or waiting for rescue.

We explore the accountability mountain that we all must climb, with Robert offering practical wisdom on how to move from victim thinking to proactive ownership in every area of life. You'll discover why excellence isn't about perfectionism but about doing your best within sustainable boundaries, and why creating margin in your time, money, health, and emotions prevents the breakdowns that derail your goals.

Business owners and employees alike will benefit from Robert's insights on the five traits of excellent leaders: continuous learning, decision-making, ownership, team development, and results-driven accountability. Most importantly, you'll learn how to recognize when you're operating without margin and practical steps to reclaim the breathing room necessary for both achievement and fulfillment.

Many men struggle with outdated expectations of masculinity, creating disconnection from purpose, relationships, and self while carrying the weight of social norms that no longer serve them. Jason Lange joins us to explore how embracing men's work, uncovering shadow elements, and building supportive relationships can help men reclaim their vitality and purpose.

• Shadow work involves making the unconscious conscious, bringing to awareness what might be running your life without your knowledge
• The "man box" confines men to behaviors like never showing emotion, never asking for help, and always appearing tough
• Studies show men who strongly identify with traditional masculine values are more likely to commit suicide
• Loneliness and isolation are as harmful to health as smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes daily
• The "fierce, loving masculine heart" offers a third path beyond macho jerk and passive nice guy
• Integration of masculine and feminine energies creates wholeness regardless of gender
• Community builds resilience—men need other men to model healthy masculinity
• Many men push themselves with strategies and goals while ignoring their dysregulated nervous systems
• Connection and rest often naturally lead to renewed motivation and energy
