🎙️ Episode 62 – Why High-Achieving Men Quietly Fall Apart (The “Drift” No One Talks About)
Most men don’t crash… they drift.
In this powerful conversation with Larry Hagner—founder of the Dad Edge movement and author of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood—we break down the silent patterns that cause high-performing men to slowly lose their edge, their purpose, and their connection to what matters most.
From burnout and emotional disconnection…
to pornography, busyness, and quiet dissatisfaction…
this episode exposes what’s really going on beneath the surface.
If you’re a driven man who feels like something is “off”… this one will hit.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Why most men feel stuck—even when life looks successful
✅ The concept of “The Drift” and how it slowly destroys purpose and connection
✅ How trauma, stress, and unmet needs drive addiction and escape behaviors
✅ Why porn, alcohol, and busyness are often symptoms—not the real problem
✅ The shocking truth about marriage satisfaction (and why most couples struggle)
✅ How to rebuild attraction, connection, and intimacy in your relationship
✅ The BRAVE Man System for restoring structure, purpose, and momentum
✅ Why “balance” is a myth—and what to pursue instead
