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 people feel they are 'doing it wrong' regarding mindfulness practices.
  • Compartmentalization can lead to chaos in different areas of life.
