Episode Summary:

  • Introduction. 0:03
  • Welcome to the next level of Empowered AF 2.0, and what it means to be an empowered man in his most advanced form, healthy communication, healthy lifestyle, physically and emotionally, and evolving into the man you've always wanted to be.
  • The seven laws of problem-solving in marriage.
  • What you think is a problem is actually a symptom. 2:31
  • The first thing is that not all problems need to be solved. Sometimes what you think is a problem is actually not a problem and it's a dichotomy or it's something that is not really the real problem.
  • The more you understand that symptoms are just a symptom of a deeper problem, the better you can get at defining what a real promise for you is.
  • Not all problems need to be solved now. 5:32
  • Not all problems need to be solved now. Not all problems are created equal. The problem is deeper than that. It's important to optimize for the right problem.
  • The third part of that is not all problems have to be created equal, which means that the problem may not be solved today, but it may be solved tomorrow.
  • Not all problems are created equal, and everything is different in terms of how you interpret what a real promise is.
  • Prompts are agnostic, which means they are just what they are.
  • My ex-wife broke up with her boyfriend and moved across town to some guy's house and took my two kids with her to this guy's place.
  • Not all problems need to be solved. Not all problems are created equal. Problems are just agnostic. They are problems.
  • How to turn obstacles into opportunities. 12:02
  • If you start seeing your problems for what they really are, you're going to start turning obstacles into opportunities.
  • Having hopeful faking is going to be a key to release you to the next realm of where you want to go as a man.
  • Every problem that you encounter is an opportunity to encounter who you possibly can be in the future, and your future self is waiting for you to become that man.
  • Solving problems is a game of sequence. 14:52
  • Solving problems is a game of sequence. Stay in sequence and solve the right problem at the right time again.
  • The right thing is starting with you and getting better.
  • How to convince a woman to want to come back to live with you and be with you when you don't have your financial house in order.
  • Stop solving problems that haven't been created. 17:21
  • More often than not, men are not able to let go of their ego and see this as an opportunity for them to become a man.
  • The final piece is to stop solving problems that haven't been created and create more problems that complicate life.
  • The ego can't fathom that someone would want to leave us, and it hurts, and when the honest truth comes out, it's like, this person fell out of love with me because of the way I showed up.
  • One time, before, his wife was nagging him about something.
  • Seven laws of problem-solving. 21:54
