068: Conscious Choice: The Secret to Living an Epic (Burnout-Free) Life with Chris Marhefka

In this episode of The Modern Man, I'm joined by Chris Marhefka, an entrepreneur, coach, and retreat facilitator on a mission to lead men to greater clarity, confidence, and courage. Tune in as Chris and I get honest and vulnerable about the real dangers of working too hard, the power of conscious choice, and how to create an epic life through intentional action.

Chris describes how a stress-induced brain injury that put him on the bench for 7 months was a blessing in disguise that would transform his life forever. He talks about how to find balance between action and rest (& why that's so important for men) as well as how conscious decision-making is the ultimate secret to living the life you want.

"Even though I had successful businesses because I was working so hard, it was at the expense of everything else… I had to learn how to make other things important in my life while not also dropping the goals that I had." – Chris Marhefka

Remember, don't wait for the pain to make a change. Lean into conscious decision-making so you can show up as a better man and create that epic life you've always dreamed of. We know you can.
