154: Assets Not Liabilities: Becoming "THE" Man Your Family Needs with Greg Denning

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton engages with high-performance coach Greg Denning, who shares his transformative journey from a troubled youth to a successful family man and leader. Denning discusses the importance of self-improvement, creating a 'do not do' list for success, and the challenges he faced while leaving home at 16. He emphasizes the need for men to embrace discomfort, build resilience, and strive for personal growth while maintaining strong family values.


Takeaways

  • The pursuit of potential is a continuous journey.
  • Progress equals happiness, not destination.
  • Many men feel they are not good enough.
  • Purpose is something we create, not find.

  • High achievers often struggle with internal blocks.
  • Beliefs shape our actions and results.
  • Discipline is key to high performance.
  • Standards determine the quality of our work.
  • Stillness allows for powerful action and reflection. Meditation can feel uncomfortable due to the overwhelming number of thoughts we have.

  • Being fully present can help us appreciate the world around us.
  • Stillness is essential for achieving inner peace and calm.
  • Many people feel they are 'doing it wrong' regarding mindfulness practices.
  • Compartmentalization can lead to chaos in different areas of life.
  • Success can be redefined to include joy and fulfillment, not just achievement.
  • The cost of unchecked ambition can be high, including divorce and mental health issues.
  • Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
  • You don't have to hit rock bottom to initiate change in your life.
