Send us a text If I wanted to stop being a Nice Guy in 2026, this is exactly where I’d start. After coaching almost 500 men, I’ve seen one pattern show up over and over again: men don’t get stuck because they’re weak, broken, or incapable — they get stuck because they’re reactive, unclear, and led by outdated survival strategies they don’t even realise are running them. In this episode of the Be Better Podcast, I break down the exact framework I would follow to evolve ...

Send us a text In this episode, I break down one of the most damaging Nice Guy patterns eroding modern relationships: avoiding the hard conversations and never coming back to them. If you’re the kind of man who smooths things over… who apologizes too quickly… who rushes reconnection… who says “let’s just drop it”… and then never returns to address the real issue — this episode is going to hit you hard. Because here’s the truth Nice Guys never want to face: ...

Send us a text In this episode, I break down one of the most silent relationship killers for high-performing Nice Guys: your emotional state shifts every time hers does. If her stress makes you tense… If her frustration makes you defensive… If her emotions send you into fixing, overexplaining, shutting down, or walking on eggshells… then you’re not being the grounded man you think you are — you’re being reactive, unpredictable, and unsafe in the moments she needs your streng...

In this episode of the Be Better podcast, I talk about one of the most confronting truths for married men: you’re not losing intimacy because your wife doesn’t desire you – you’re losing intimacy because you’re too scared to ask what’s actually going on. After coaching almost 500 men out of Nice Guy syndrome and into grounded, present, connected masculinity, I see the same pattern: instead of asking direct questions, men guess, overthink, double down on being “nice,” and quietly resent their ...

In this episode of the Be Better podcast, I break down a confronting truth most high-performing Nice Guys never see clearly: you’re not afraid of conflict – you’re afraid of being wrong. Deep down, you believe that if someone sees you’re wrong, they’ll see you as unworthy. So you avoid hard conversations, swallow your truth, and tell yourself you’re “keeping the peace,” while your relationship quietly erodes underneath you. I share a real coaching conversation with a man inside The Grounded M...

In this episode, I break down one of the most confronting truths I’ve learned after coaching nearly 500 men: you don’t have a marriage problem — you have a self-leadership problem.

This episode exposes the Nice Guy patterns that destroy your authority ...

You’ve heard it before: “Regulate your nervous system.” But what does that actually mean? In this episode, I break down nervous system regulation without the BS & jargon — what it is, why you keep reacting despite knowing better, and how to start rewiring your body to stop self-sabotaging your relationships, your leadership, and your peace. I cover: – The real reason you snap at your wife or kids – Why anger isn’t the problem — disconnection is – The 3...

Nice guys don’t help because they’re selfless. They help because they’re scared—of rejection, of not being needed, of losing love. In this episode of Be Better, I break down how over-giving and unspoken expectations destroy connection, intimacy, and trust in your relationship. I speak directly to the men who keep doing more, hoping it’ll finally “be enough,” and show you why your wife pulls away, even when your actions are well-intentioned. If you’re tired of feeling unseen, frustrated, or co...

If you feel guilty when you slow down — when you’re not working, not producing, not achieving — it’s not because you’re lazy. It’s because your nervous system and identity were built around performance. In this episode, I break down the truth behind why high-performing men struggle to rest, why stillness feels unsafe, and how to start rewiring your nervous system so that peace doesn’t feel like failure. I’ve coached almost 500 men through this exact pattern — men who ...

Most men (& online coaches/influencers) throw around words like “masculinity,” “presence,” and “leadership” without ever defining them. And if you can’t define it — you’ll never live it. In this episode, I break down the most overused words in men’s work and translate them into clear, measurable behaviors that you can actually live by. No fluff. No spiritual wallpaper. Just grounded definitions that help you show up as the man you say you want to be — especially in your marr...

We’ve all been told not to take things personally… but what if that’s the exact thing holding you back from becoming the man you’re meant to be? In this episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood emotional habits for high-performing men: taking things personally. As a recovering Nice Guy, I used to spiral with self-doubt anytime I felt criticized. But I’ve since learned that every trigger is a mirror—and owning that mirror is the gateway to becoming more grounded, resilient, and powe...

Most men think they’re being loving partners. They help more around the house. They plan date nights. They buy flowers.

In this episode, Harrison exposes the real reason your wife feels closed off, even when you’re “doing all the right things.” He breaks down why your good intentions are actually a form of manipulation, and w...

If you think doing the work will save your marriage — you’ve already lost. This episode walks you through the full transformation from Nice Guy to mature, grounded masculine leadership. And more importantly, why doing it for her, the kids, or anyone else is still part of the pattern that’s killing your power.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on why “nice guys” are unknowingly killing their polarity, trust, and intimacy — and what to do instead. If you’ve felt the confusion of doing everything “right” but still not getting ...
