  • Revisit: It's Not Just About Your Marriage
    Mar 15 2025

    Episode #953

    Most men don’t even realize they’re living in quiet desperation—until they finally break free. When your marriage feels off, your business is harder, your energy is lower, and you’re just grinding through the motions, it’s easy to think this is just “normal.” But what if it’s not?

    In this revisit episode, Doug Holt and Brad Holt dive deep into why so many high-achieving men struggle—not just in marriage, but in life. They reveal how the same tools that restore relationships also transform businesses, health, and personal fulfillment.

    You’ll discover:

    • Why anxiety quietly erodes your business and decision-making.
    • How regaining confidence in your marriage spills over into every area of life.
    • The hidden habits keeping you stuck—and how to break free.
    • What successful men do differently to create lasting change.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re just “getting by” instead of thriving, this episode is for you. Take action—because this is about more than your marriage.
