The community you put yourself in dictates, shapes, and molds who you are. Your environment is EVERYTHING. Who you surround yourself with RIGHT NOW and where you are putting yourself is EVERYTHING. So you have to be ULTRA careful about the people you put around you. You need to be INTENTIONAL about your COMMUNITY.

 Think about the community you grew up in, the community you live in now, and the people you’ve always had around you. Do they EMPOWER you? Do they help you THRIVE? Or do they bring you DOWN and hold you back? YOU have the opportunity to grow into the most empowered version of yourself, but if you are hanging around with disempowered, disenfranchised people, you are NOT growing; you are STAGNANT. This world needs men that have come ALIVE, so what are you waiting for? In this episode, find out the POWER of community and how to STOP playing small and START playing large.

In This Episode:

– Find out why COMMUNITY shapes and molds you into who you are

When guys first find out their wife wants a divorce, the first thing they want to do is dump all the ANGER, FEAR, and everything else they feel, because that is the safe thing to do.

Mark is back with another oldie but goodie this week. It’s RAW, it’s REAL, and it’s UNFILTERED.

Get ready to STOP sitting on the fence, make your decision, and build a fortress of boundaries around your kingdom so you can start showing up as the KING you truly are.

They think everything is fine, life is going great, and then all of a sudden, she turns around and says she doesn’t want to be married anymore. And what do they do?

As men, we think there is no reason to be vulnerable or open ourselves up because we SUCK at emotions. We suck at DEALING with them, and we suck at letting other people in. There is something in the male DNA that says if a guy can figure it out on his own, he’s a REAL man. But this week, Mark is showing you why that is NOT the case. 

VULNERABILITY is one of the SEXIEST aspects to women. They want to know that you’re not just some strong leader, but you’re also a man of HEART and somebody who can be VULNERABLE. So WHY are so many men still closing themselves off from their wives and dealing with sh*t ALONE? It’s time to change. In this episode, Mark is calling you INTO manhood and showing you why YOU have what it takes to make a change. Find out why so many men SUCK at relying on other people, and how to STOP seeking validation for transformation and START taking control of your life.

“Just because you ask for help, doesn’t mean you’re a bad guy. Doesn’t mean you’re less of a man. It makes you more of a man.”

– Mark Santiago

In This Episode:

– THIS is the hardest thing for most men to realize when it comes to their marriage

– Find out the REAL reason your wife wants to walk away from the marriage
