You're working to give your family a better life. But what happens when they start feeling like they've lost you?

Entrepreneur, business coach, husband and father Grant Menard joins Kevin Davis for an honest conversation about the pressure to provide—and the distance that can grow at home while you're busy doing it.

Grant shares how business demands, financial stress and becoming a father of two left him shutting people out. He thought he was protecting his family by handling everything himself. Then his wife told him she was afraid he would leave.

Kevin shares his own wake-up call: after a stretch of long hours and misplaced priorities, Michelle told him, “You're just not the man that you used to be.”

Together, they explore why men who can spot a problem in their business can miss the signs in their marriage, how the lifestyle they're chasing becomes another source of pressure, and what changes when they finally open up.

There are stories about starting businesses, raising young kids, dream cars and knowing when you have enough. Through it all, two friends keep coming back to the same question: what are you building, and is it giving you the life you actually want?

If you've been telling yourself that everything will get better at home once work settles down, this conversation is for you.

What if the moment your wife stops pushing back is the moment to pay closer attention?

Larry Hagner, founder of The Dad Edge, joins Kevin Davis on Maxed Out Man for a candid conversation about marriage drift, fatherhood, forgiveness and learning the skills a strong family needs.

Larry shares how abuse and abandonment shaped his childhood, the unexpected encounters that brought his father back into his life, and the difficult work of building a relationship after years of hurt. Kevin opens up about his own family history and what happens when avoiding a hard decision affects generations.

The conversation turns to Larry's marriage and the day his wife, Jessica, told him, “You're losing me.” He explains how trying to hide his struggles left her feeling shut out—and why wanting a good marriage wasn't the same as knowing how to build one.

Together, they explore responding instead of reacting, making difficult conversations safer, and setting guardrails before the next disagreement. They also discuss why prioritizing your marriage can be a gift to your children, and the everyday ways kids learn what love looks like.

If you've been treating the absence of arguments as proof that everything is fine, this conversation gives you a reason to check in.

Your business is growing. Your energy is shrinking. Your family gets whatever you have left.

Is that really success?

Performance coach and IFBB pro Jeff Later joins Kevin Davis and Victor Garcia to challenge a belief many men carry into their 40s: that sacrificing their health is the price of getting ahead.

Jeff explains why fitness belongs alongside your business and family priorities, how sleep and recovery affect your ability to show up, and why experience in the gym doesn’t always translate into results. The conversation also explores accountability, sustainable habits, identity change, and the example you set for your children.

They also discuss weight-loss medication, bloodwork, and testosterone, sharing their perspectives and personal experiences.

If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll get healthy when life slows down, this episode challenges you to start now.
