Building Irreplaceable Trust with Meredith & Ian Lobas - Episode 306

Building Irreplaceable Trust with Meredith & Ian Lobas - Episode 306

Episode 306 dives deep into the journey of personal growth and development in both individuals and as a couple. We discuss how being a work in progress and how taking ownership of your own growth can benefit not only yourself but also your partner.

One common theme that we explore is the idea of men feeling like they have no other value in the world besides money. We challenge this notion and talk about how bad behavior can become a reflection of fear, and how showing up as the man your partner needs you to be is an important part of creating a strong, healthy relationship.

We also address the unfair expectation that wives need to do all the work in marriage and the assumption that women do not need us just because they are strong. We discuss how mother's instincts and trauma triggers can impact relationships and marriages and the importance of addressing these issues head-on.

Throughout the episode, we stress the importance of communication and building a strong bond of trust between partners. We talk about how changing doesn’t necessarily mean that your partner will automatically trust those changes.If you want to improve your relationship with your partner or even just yourself, check out our website and apply to join our community https://irreplaceableman.com/apply/.

Purpose Comes From Pain With Raylen Davis - Episode 305

Episode 305 examines the choice between victimhood and taking ownership of your life, and how it impacts your success.

In this episode, Raylen Davis from the Elevated Coaches Academy joins us to discuss the power of leaning into discomfort to achieve success. We explore the importance of focusing on the emotional and inner self, and how mentorship can be a powerful tool for growth.

We also discuss the detrimental effects of creating meaning around things and the steps to take in turning your life around.

Becoming an Irreplaceable Family Man With a Business with Jon Vroman - Episode 303

Becoming an Irreplaceable Family Man With a Business with Jon Vroman - Episode 303

As men, we have a natural desire to provide for our families and achieve success in our careers. Frankly, this is how most men avoid dealing with their problems. And the problem with that is it hurts the people we say we are working hard for. I remember Meredith saying to me, “You say you're running the race for us, however every time you get a chance to celebrate with your family, you run right by us.” That hurt and hit deep. She was right. I was saying one thing and doing another. I was acting as a business man that happened to have a family. My life changed when I met Jon Vroman who introduced me to the concept of being a family man with a business and the mindset shift that came with it. The pursuit of professional goals can sometimes come at the expense of our family life.

Jon and I discuss the challenges of balancing family and business, and share insights on how to prioritize both aspects of our lives family first. We explore strategies for setting boundaries, managing our time, and communicating effectively with our loved ones.

Our guest, Jon Vroman — shares his personal experiences and the lessons he has learned as he navigated through the competing demands of work and family. He offers practical advice on his website https://frontrowdads.com/ on how to maintain a healthy balance making him an irreplaceable family man with a business.

Becoming an Irreplaceable Husband with Meredith & Ian Lobas - Episode 302

Becoming an Irreplaceable Husband with Meredith & Ian Lobas - Episode 302

Marriage is not just about two people living together. When you’re married, you don’t have a housemate, you have a partner that you have made a commitment to. Not just to provide for or take care of, your commitment also has to do with who you are and who you become. Constant personal evolution and growth is a must. 

For the first couple years of our marriage, I wasnt following those rules. In my mind, because I was providing financially at a high level and we were living a great life, thats all the contribution that was necessary. 

Yeah, I was a fucking failure as a husband and then the day came when Mere had enough. She gave me an ultimatum that hit me square between the eyes. It broke me and knocked me onto a course of deep level personal growth and development. The fact that not only was I replaceable in my marriage, I also realized that like most men, I was also replaceable as a leader in my business, as a professional and sadly, as a father. 

Everything changed when the fear of her being with someone else kicked in and I would have let her go knowing that I could have done something however I remained selfish and in my ego. It was beyone fear, I felt and sensed the immense regret I would feel later on in life knowing that I had the chance to make it better and didnt. 

So the first commitment was to me, to put me first in a serving way and focus on my growth while I learned about what she needed and who she needed me to be. 

In this special episode, my wife (Meredith) and I put everything on the table and talk about our relationship from the beginning. We are vulnerable and honest about the ins and outs of our marriage in hopes of helping every man out there to transform into their best selves and finally become The Irreplaceable Man & Husband that they need to be, the one their wives want to be with and the one their wives will never leave.. Yes, brother, its all on you! 

Now that we have switched over to The Irreplaceable Man podcast, you can expect 2x episodes a month with Meredith and I digging into a new topic that stop marriages from being amazing and stop men from being irreplaceable.

 Stop Outsourcing Your Happiness with Sam Kabert - Episode 301

Stop Outsourcing Your Happiness with Sam Kabert - Episode 301

Episode 301 is about putting yourself first and making sure you are working on your fullest potential, because what you have financially and materially is not always the truest form of happiness.

The truth is, all the money and material possessions in the world may not make you happy. In fact, if you don't feel complete you will probably never let yourself enjoy what you have. Put yourself first and work on your self-depreciation issues, so that you can get out of your own way and achieve real happiness and success.

Today, Sam Kabert, a successful Serial Entrepreneur turned Spiritual Seeker, joins us in searching for our own life mission. He is known for his ability to put together virtual teams to execute the vision as efficiently as possible so that all involved can spend more time adventuring and experiencing the beauty the world has to offer outside of traditional work.

Do not get caught up in achieving what society has taught you was valuable instead of knowing within yourself what is most important for your life. Let’s find your new passion and purpose in life together. Let’s make each other proud of our own self-discovery journey. Follow us at

Every Great Marriage is on the Doorstep of Divorce with Keith Yackey - Episode 300

Every Great Marriage is on the Doorstep of Divorce with Keith Yackey - Episode 300

Episode 300 is about why even great marriages could still be at the brink of divorce, and how going through self-transformation could remedy such a situation.

There is a common misconception that if you are married, your marriage is guaranteed. This is not the case, and anyone who says otherwise is either unaware of or in denial of the issues concerning the reality of marriage. According to The National Center for Health Statistics in the United States, at least 50% of marriages will end in divorce (Jones & Schulz, 2000).

Today, Keith Yackey, founder and CEO of The Married Game & The Ascend Brotherhood, has been committed to helping married men learn how to get their wives to “want” to have sex with them again. He will be discussing communication, attraction, integrity, supporting yourself and other winning formulas that could help you and your spouse rekindle your connection, as every great marriage could be on the doorstep of divorce. It's not a question of “if,” it's a question of “when.”

The ability to overcome challenges helps us heal from pain, transform disappointment into victory, and rebuild trust. You don't have to go through the crisis alone. Get advice and guidance from our episodes. Follow us at https://menonpurpose.net/apply/.

It's time to stop letting your marriage fall apart!

It’s Not Trauma, It’s a Programming Experience (Part 2) with Paul Cope - Episode 299

It’s Not Trauma, It’s a Programming Experience (Part 2) with Paul Cope - Episode 299

Episode 299 is about generational traumas and experiences, and how we cope with it differently in our varying paces as individuals.

As we grow older, we may not even realize that we are living with the effects of generational traumas. Our coping skills are programmed into us by our parents, siblings and other environmental factors — even if it doesn’t seem like we’re hearing it directly from them. Each generation has nuances, but the bottom line is that we must break these patterns if we want to move forward.

Generational trauma is defined as the psychological consequences of traumatic events that are experienced by a second or subsequent generation through inherited family systems. This form of intergenerational trauma can lead to physical, emotional and mental health problems.

Today, Paul Cope, a highly accomplished consultant, coach, business owner and corporate lawyer possessing a powerful transformative presence with the ability to provide insights that are invaluable to any organization — reminds us of the impact of generational trauma and how we must cope with it. He shares that as humans, we are hardwired to deal with crises and trauma by connecting socially with other people in our community. As a result of our experiences with trauma and loss, it may be difficult for us to trust others or reach out when we need help, hence why he wrote the book How to Solve Any Problem in Life.

Just like Paul, we want to help guide men in whatever it is that they might be going through.

Wrapping Your Head Around You Mattering with Matt Zemon - Episode 298

Wrapping Your Head Around You Mattering with Matt Zemon - Episode 298

Episode 298 is about acknowledging and accepting your core, including loving who you are with the help of discovering new realms.

At some point in our lives, we all go through the deep and dark hole of self-discovery. We fear that what we are or who we are could be deemed as unacceptable by society — that we think we need to achieve so many things and become so powerful just to be praised by others. We often fail to realize that this acceptance, respect and praise that we crave are highly rooted within ourselves.

Today, Matt Zemon, the author of Psychedelics for Everyone and the Co-Founder of HAPPŸŸ — a mental wellness company that specializes in psychedelic-assisted oral ketamine therapy along with digital therapeutics that promote life-transforming outcomes, challenges us to keep an open-mind to welcome the proper usage and benefits of psychedelics as powerful medicines. He will be with us to speak about his transformation and how psychedelics were able to help other people overcome anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD and many more.

As Matt said, “You are enough right now. You are loved right now. Just go. Just be.” So, join us as we face life with gratitude. May we start counting what we have, rather than complain about what we do not have. Allow us to guide you as we provide support for men through their self-discovery journey.

Confronting What You Are Most Afraid Of with John David Latta - Episode 297

Confronting What You Are Most Afraid Of with John David Latta - Episode 297

Episode 297 is about embracing the mystery of death, our spiritual connections with others and how it can transform us.

Most of us fear the idea of death, because we all fear what we do not know. We fear that we might no longer be able to do what we could have done when we still had the chance. Indeed, we regret more the things we did not do than those we did, and this is what makes today’s episode very special — as it teaches us how we could possibly handle the concept of dying and how it involves a lot of acceptance.

Today, former founder and CEO of a successful multimillion-dollar consumer products company, John David Latta, opens our minds and challenges our emotions when it comes to the inevitable. He is a mystic, teacher, and author who shares intimate and personal stories and teaches workshops on leadership, healing, transformation, awakening, love, synchronicity, and wisdom that unite and expand human experience.

As John shares, “We are constructed at a soul level. A cat doesn't die, but the body dies. A human being doesn't die, but the body dies.” Death is a mystery, but death is also part of life and a natural, spiritual experience. To understand what happens when we die, we need to see ourselves in the context of relationships that connect us with others and with something beyond our individual selves.

Just like John, we value relationships and connections the most, that is why we provide support for men in all works of life — an extraordinary opportunity to live life more fully and connect with those they love.

It’s Not the Pursuit of Happiness; It’s the Happiness of the Pursuit with Randall Crowder - Episode 296

It’s Not the Pursuit of Happiness; It’s the Happiness of the Pursuit with Randall Crowder - Episode 296

Episode 296 is about personal development and being purposeful in your life journey.

When opportunities arise in your life, do you realize how often you discredit yourself? Because our episode for today tells us straight up that discrediting yourself is not only negative for you; it also insults those who believe in the value that you bring. Discrediting yourself is a dangerous thing to do. When you start believing that you are not good enough, that belief can spread to other areas of your life, and it will cause you to make bad decisions.

Today, CEO Randall Crowder of Phunware — a technology company in Austin, TX developing mobile and data solutions for major brands and launching a unique cryptocurrency called PhunCoin, encourages us to be critical in our life choices. Our life choices include a lot of self-actualization and self-reflection, and this episode is about owning up to your choices, because whatever you have, wherever you are, and whoever you are now, is all on YOU.

As Randall shares, “We are not human beings. We are human BECOMINGS,” and that speaks volumes about who we choose to be in life. That is why we provide support for men in all works of life, to help you become the person you ought to be. Follow us at https://menonpurpose.net

Mastering Your Inner Game with Shea Hillenbrand - Episode 295

Mastering Your Inner Game with Shea Hillenbrand - Episode 295

Episode 295 is about surviving the dark hole in pursuit of our true purpose and happiness.

Sometimes when things are going so perfectly in our life, that’s the exact moment we feel lost. We get consumed by fame, power and money, thinking all of it should be enough, that it is all that we need — that we forget what it truly feels to LIVE. We start asking ourselves, is this all life has to offer?

Today, a former MLB baseball player and MLB all star, Shea Hillenbrand gets to share with us his journey towards the pursuit of his true purpose and happiness. He hid all of his childhood dreams and then realized that none of them were his actual dreams, that all he was doing was chasing the money, fame and the identity of his popularity to appease his ego. So in this episode, we are going to dig deep into our childhood traumas, face our fears, and surpass all the hurdles we thought only the grand things could solve, and we are going to do this together.

As Shea says, “Don’t miss the meat of the method: POWER and PERSPECTIVE,” so rediscover yourself with us. We provide support for men in all walks of life. Follow us at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/.

Healing Your Disappointing Love Life with Dr. Thomas Jordan - Episode 294

Healing Your Disappointing Love Life with Dr. Thomas Jordan - Episode 294

Episode 294 is about diving deep into the human experience.

When we deal with our emotions, especially when it comes to love, it’s helpful to identify our patterns. This could resolve a lot of issues when it comes to intimacy, traumas, and even grief. After all, the opposite of love is grief. You love somebody you can lose. That’s an unforgettable line we got from Dr. Thomas Jordan — whose clinical specialty is treating adults who are depressed and anxious about past or present unhealthy relationship experiences, people who are struggling with low self-esteem, feelings of loss, or an unhealthy love life.

Today, Dr. Thomas will be with us to talk about the psychology around love, and how you can change your love life by changing your psychology.

Overcome any emotional dive with us. We provide support for men from all walks of life. Follow us at menonpurpose.net

Revealing the Diamond Means Breaking the Stone with Andreas Widmer - Episode 293

Revealing the Diamond Means Breaking the Stone with Andreas Widmer - Episode 293

Episode 293 is about the diamond in the rough.

When we work, we don't just make more. We become more. That's advice from the Pope himself. I got to hang out with Andreas Widmer, who used to work for the Pope and now works for you. For years and years, through his stories and experience, Andrew has helped men declare value for themselves. He's shared how the answers are within you and that change is never done.

He offers a ton of wisdom for entrepreneurs and is interested in getting the word out of self-love especially for men. We cover a lot of ground including: choosing yourself, what it's like to work directly with the Pope, dealing with your inner conflict, how to deal with feeling used, the need for validation and overcoming it. Today we'll dig into Andreas's insights of authenticity, facing conflict, and doing conscious work towards finding your purpose.

The War Without Will Never Cease Until You Cease The War Within with Gary De Rodriguez - Episode 292

The War Without Will Never Cease Until You Cease The War Within with Gary De Rodriguez - Episode 292

Episode 292 is about relationships and leadership:

Ever notice that a lot of successful individuals can easily figure out how to win in business - how to be successful in business. But most of 'em down at home are a complete and utter trainwreck. And you may be one of 'em and not even be aware of it---because you're actually a pretty good husband and a pretty good dad, but your finances suck. Or, you're actually a great dad or husband---but your business sucks!

Why is that so? And why is it so common? The solution seems simple enough, why can't we do it just like that.

Gary answers this and more. Turns out that it is simple, but it's all a matter of going deep enough. And it all starts with the quality of your relationships. Gary's seen it all, he's trained the highest level executive in developing relationships and taught teenagers and parents to overcome trauma. This is a gold spill of wisdom you won't want to miss.

Only Your Future Self Can Manifest the Life You Know is Possible with Nick Devlin - Episode 291

Only Your Future Self Can Manifest the Life You Know is Possible with Nick Devlin - Episode 291

Episode 291 is about manifesting your future.

You can manifest your future today. Nick Devlin was an Army Ranger veteran and has been through the toughest situations for a man to ever be in, literally things he cannot speak about to anybody. He took the life lessons that came with this experience and has used that to help men today become a better version of themselves. There are no pseudo-spiritual manifestations required, just pure and genuine commitment to change. And it’s not easy, no. Today, we talk about soldiers as adventure, and how we can transfer skills into our personal lives, and how to overcome discomfort when it matters most. Nick shares his most authentic self and dives into what men struggle with the most today. It’s a very enlightening episode and Nick is as genuine as he is easy to listen to. You are an adventurer in this life too, but you don’t have to do it alone. There may be uncertainty, and it will never be easy, but commitment helps you triumph all.

Join us and find support at the Men on Purpose community, where we can help you manifest the life you really want, today! Follow us at

Understanding the Difference between Dreams & Goals with Dane Espegard - Episode 285

Understanding the Difference between Dreams & Goals with Dane Espegard - Episode 285

Episode 285 is about making your dream come true.

Set your goals up high and dare to dream bigger than ever before. Dane Espegard is an entrepreneur and coach; he grew up in a loving home with parents and siblings. One day he noticed himself wondering what kind of business culture would set the tone for his company—something centered around people pursuing their dreams? Then, before long, it had morphed from just being about him to also including his own family - as they created lists together that ranged from big dreams to small ones (and everything in between). Eventually, after perfecting this process thanks to the support from those closest to him—he felt ready (and excited!) to share these ideas with others. So he wrote The Dream Machine, which is freely available online for anyone who wants guidance on how to live out their wildest fantasies or pursue even smaller ambitions! Join us now for today's episode.

12 Lessons For a Successful Life with Branch Isole - Episode 283

12 Lessons For a Successful Life with Branch Isole - Episode 283

Episode 283 is about being irreplaceable.


How do you find your purpose and become irreplaceable? Branch Isole is an author, poet, and story-teller. After spending 15 years in the corporate world, he became disillusioned with who he had grown into - so he quit his job to pursue a new venture. In doing so, he discovered himself again by

studying different spiritual belief systems.

One fateful day at the age of 45 when he decided to go back to school for his Masters degree in Theology, he wrote a book about finding one's spiritual path. From then on out, he kept writing; 25 years later producing 22 books containing various topics and messages on how to find one's true purpose in this world.

Separating from the Inauthentic Identity You Created with Dave Selinger - Episode 282

Separating from the Inauthentic Identity You Created with Dave Selinger - Episode 282

Episode 282 is about innovation.

Don't judge a book by its cover. When Dave Selinger was an early employee of Amazon, he led the research and development arm of Amazon's data-mining and personalization team.

Own and Recognize Your Contribution in Relationship Failures with AJ Grossman - Episode 279

Own and Recognize Your Contribution in Relationship Failures with AJ Grossman - Episode 279

Episode 279 is about knowing your why.

Commitment is the single most important key to a successful relationship. With a background in business administration and information technology, AJ Grossman now practices law as a result of an internal force - his calling. He knows what he wants from life: to help people turn around their marriage for the better so that kids can grow up with happy parents.

In a marriage, there needs to be an equal balance between both partners. Otherwise, the marriage will fail. However, if you know what you want from this relationship from the start—that may help you decide whether or not to stay. It's vital that people can take care of themselves first before they are able to take care of others.

Your Freedom is In You with Robert Althuis - Episode 276

Your Freedom is In You with Robert Althuis - Episode 276

Episode 276 is about soul searching.

We are not humans experiencing life for ourselves; we are eternal spirits living a human experience. Robert Althuis, author of “Never Enough It's: Getting What Money Can't Buy”, shares his own experience that money is just one part of success. As a child, he had all the trimmings: money, houses and cars too but something felt amiss. There was a deep-rooted emptiness inside him waiting to be filled. He discovered that what matters most is what satisfies our souls—those intangible things that make us feel alive from within. Soul, the core of our existence. If we don't nourish the soul, nothing is gonna happen to us. We don't know our purpose and our calling. Join us in this enlightening episode as Robert expands on this topic.

Discovering Your Purpose with Dr. Eric Holsapple - Episode 275

Discovering Your Purpose with Dr. Eric Holsapple - Episode 275

Society tells us that happiness requires material possessions: a car, house, money.

But in reality, you can be happy without those things. It's about the journey rather than the destination. Dr. Eric Holsapple learned this lesson after he chased what he thought would make him fulfilled - only to find himself lost and without purpose.

But after some time had passed, he discovered himself. He realized what his purpose was - to serve the people of this world and give back to the communities. His goal is to change the world by helping everyone who needs it. It's almost like a ripple effect; when you help one person, they'll go on and do things for others too, making it a better place for us all.

Behavior Modification Isn't True Transformation with Rob Lohman - Episode 274

Behavior Modification Isn't True Transformation with Rob Lohman - Episode 274

Episode 274 is about getting over your addiction.

Some addictive behaviors are harmless, but for the most part they're destructive. How can you break free from these patterns? Rob Lohman, previously an alcoholic and now turned to a great coach on addiction, deals with this topic. He explains this in his upcoming book Addiction Intervention.

Did you know that addiction is hereditary? Epigenetics has everything to do with it. Just because you feel there's something wrong with you, doesn't mean there actually is! What really matters most, though, is how we respond to our addictions; how they are transformed within us.

Beginning the Journey to Actually Living On Purpose with David Richman - Episode 272

Beginning the Journey to Actually Living On Purpose with David Richman - Episode 272

Episode 272 is about connecting with yourself.

When we look at the mirror, what do we see? David Richman found out who he really was—a man who used to be overweight and chain-smoke until his eventual transformation back into himself. He grew up with a mother hating him, despite everything he did to love her. He used this as a motivation to become a better version of himself. When he looked at his reflection in the mirror, one day and asked Who am I?—his entire life changed.

He never trained for an IronMan Triathlon, but instead just went ahead and did it. Same with quitting smoking cold turkey. He rode his bicycle nearly 5 thousand miles across the US - all while telling stories about his journey through this best-selling book called Cycle of Lives, which has given hope to thousands of people who were struggling with mental illness and trauma. This is one ‘pedal to the metal’ episode that will inspire you.

We all go through cycles in life. Do you feel like you're lost and don't know your whole identity? Our Men on Purpose community can help you with how to find yourself. Follow us on this journey at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/

Seeing the Blessings in Disguise with Christian Elliott - Episode 271

Seeing the Blessings in Disguise with Christian Elliott - Episode 271

Episode 271 is about finding the blessing.

There are moments when we think things will always go our way. But suddenly, BOOM! they're gone. In one instance, Christian Elliott had it all—a successful business and money in the bank too. Problems arose and his company went bankrupt. He didn't let his loss become too much for him. Rather than relying solely on prayer or waiting for miracles to occur— he did something about it. And along the way, he found himself.

Starting with a clean slate, everything was perfect. His wife supported him; his children inspired him. He listened to podcasts and read books—anything to improve himself. And then it suddenly clicked: he had figured out what was wrong, but now wasn't the time for celebrating. There were still plenty of hurdles ahead on this lifelong path toward being a better version of himself.

This can be your story too. This episode is where we prove that anybody can turn their life around and find a better version.

Especially if you feel like you are stuck in a rut. Our Men on Purpose community can help you with how to cope in times of trouble. Follow us on this journey at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/

Transforming Grief, Finding Purpose with Phil Cohen - Episode 270

Transforming Grief, Finding Purpose with Phil Cohen - Episode 270

Episode 270 is about dealing with grief.

Sometimes life isn't all about rainbows and butterflies. We are faced with tragedy. Phil Cohen lost his 14-year-old son in an accident. His son went on a ferry trip and a storm came by and they never came back. The coast guards searched for 7 days, still, no bodies were found. Those 7 days were grueling to Phil, he was in the storm with him during those 7 days.

Griefing is a difficult process. We don't know how or what to feel. We get lost on what to do. Phil, after a long time healed. He heard his son's voice telling him to let go and live his life and that's what he did. You all know what they say, when you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. Are you prepared for the storms you are about to encounter? Watch this episode now.

ABRACADABRA: With These Words I Create My Life with Mark England - Episode 269

ABRACADABRA: With These Words I Create My Life with Mark England - Episode 269

Episode 269 is all about not being a victim.


Abracadabra. We all know this word as 'magic' but in Aramaic, it means 'with my word I create or with my word I influence'. By Webster's definition of a spell is a word or a combination of words of great influence. Basically, we’re talking magic. Mark England, who is a beast of a coach, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, you name it, the whole 9 yards shares his experiences on how we can tweak our words and stories to change the narrative in our minds thus changing our actions, perspective and self-talk.

According to the Bible in the beginning was the word. What we say or speak to others and ourselves affects us mentally and emotionally. The story you tell yourself is how your life goes. The formula is simple, you tweak the words, you tweak your attitude, you tweak your attitude, and your whole life changes. BOOM! So pack your shit up, cause we're going in for a ride. Don't miss this badass episode and learn the importance and power of words.

Self Talk = Self Care. Our Men on Purpose community can help you with positive affirmations that will help you with your overall well-being. Follow us on this journey at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/

Episode 262 is about learning from our mistakes.

Getting a PhD is hard but getting a PhD in life is even harder. Bew White is one of these people who earned their PhD of Life. He quit his family business to start his own, he worked an insane amount of hours when he was just getting started and he even got into a huge problem why all of this was happening. He wrote all his experiences in his book Summer Classic.

Is Death the Greatest Teacher? Life Lessons from a Funeral Home Owner with Chris Meyer - Episode 264

Is Death the Greatest Teacher? Life Lessons from a Funeral Home Owner with Chris Meyer - Episode 264

Episode 264 is about lessons of death

Chris Meyer has a unique life story. He thought he was going to be a lawyer but then he found something that threw him off: an unexpected career path. He quit the law firm to pursue his passion for the funeral business and learned more about life than he could ever have imagined. As a funeral director, the lessons he learned are way beyond compared to what he learned at law school. He shares these experiences in a book he wrote called 'Life In 20 Lessons'.

'Memento Mori', a philosophical saying that translates to 'remember death'. Our time is finite here on earth and it is also the greatest commodity. So what are you doing with your time? Are you learning from your failures, are you spending time with your loved ones? Chris elaborates how we can be brave and face life when the time is ticking. As a famous roman-emperor said "Death smiles at all, all a man can do is smile back." Don't miss this jarring episode and watch now at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/
