In this episode, Ryan and Kipp dive deep into what it means to be a man in modern relationships — how to lead with strength, clarity, and purpose without falling into the "nice guy" trap. They break down how to build trust, create safety and structure for your partner, and why healthy conflict is essential for growth.

You'll hear powerful insights on what truly turns your wife on (it's not what you think), why your marriage needs to feel like a sparring match instead of a competition, and how to help your wife flourish in her feminine role by being consistent, decisive, and dependable.

Whether you're married, dating, or just want to understand masculine leadership on a deeper level, this episode will hit hard.

Join the conversation and learn how to stop being a "nice guy" — and start being a strong, grounded man.
