My guest today is the one and only, Tim Tebow. I had the opportunity to sit down with him in New York last week and, without a doubt, he's one of the most genuine human beings that I've ever met. You could feel that from him from the moment he walked into our studio (which happened to be a hotel room in Manhattan). I've always wondered if the men we see online are the same men in person and I can unequivocally say, "yes," with Tebow. Today, we talk about where Tebow's convictions come from, the powerful relationship he has with his father and his coaches along the way, why his work with those who have special needs is so crucial in the absence of manliness, the dichotomy between God's sovereignty and our own, creating an edge in your life, stacking up the small wins, and, at the foundation of it all, how to create a life that counts. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Masculinity is lacking around the world Love is a choice that we make Kids see everything that parents do Managing the expectations of others Some people just don't want to like you Being respected is more important than being liked The relationship between serving God and living your own life Sharing the Gospel through our actions God provides when we need it most We should both rely on God and work hard Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

It's easy to be on edge these days. With so much nonsense going on in the world from political protests, government overreach, cancel culture, everyone being offended by everything, and a myriad of other issues that aren't really all that important in the grand scheme of things, it's hard to find a sense of peace that I think most of us would really like to have in our lives.

And, we also get into why Phil was canceled and how he's taking it all in stride. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Finding answers in the Bible Difference between child of God and child of the devil Loving your enemies Finding meaning in peace Finding Jesus is the smartest move I've ever made Hate WHAT is evil, not WHO is evil How to not alienate non-believers Why is the Gospel so threatening Standing by your convictions Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Life is tough for everyone, some more than others. It's not a question of whether or not we have or will face adversity but a matter of how we bear it that counts.

I think everyone knows that that we are all judged, to some degree, by our appearance and how we present ourselves. You don't have to like it and you don't have to think it's fair but it's the truth. And, yet, so many of us (myself included) overlook the importance our physical aesthetic when it comes to presenting ourselves well.

Today, Tanner and I talk about utilizing clothing as an extension of you, the Aesthetic Overton Window and how it impacts what we wear, why you need to avoid being one-dimensional in the way you present yourself, why dressing well isn't at all about suits and skinny jeans, and, ultimately, how you can garner influence by improving your presence. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: The portrayal of style and fashion in pop culture We have made heroes out of the court jesters Social conditioning has influenced men's attitude toward fashion Appearance matters when leading others You can be both the warrior and the intellectual Make small tweaks instead of taking it to the extreme Your appearance should mirror your capabilities Don't let your appearance undermine your credibility How to start making changes Find a style and brand that works and stick with it How do you know when you look good?
