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.

Alzheimer’s, brain fog, and chronic inflammation may have more to do with nutrition than most people realize. Dr. John Lewis shares the remarkable story behind the research that changed his career, and the specific plant-based polysaccharides he believes can support cognitive function, immune balance, and healthy aging.

Kevin Davis sits down with Dr. Lewis to unpack the origin story of his work, from drug-free bodybuilding and nutrition science to a breakthrough Alzheimer’s study that produced clinically and statistically significant improvements in cognition.

They also get into the immune markers, inflammation pathways, and adult stem cell changes that may help explain why the results were so striking.

You’ll discover:

• Why Dr. Lewis says the CD4 to CD8 ratio is a key marker of immune health
• How his team observed reduced inflammatory markers like TNF-alpha and VEGF
• Why the study showed a 286% increase in adult stem cell production
• What happened in the Alzheimer’s and MS research that surprised even skeptical clinicians
• How these polysaccharides fit into a broader strategy for performance, longevity, and brain health

Kevin also brings the conversation back to the real-world concerns many men face today - cognitive decline in loved ones, high-stress living, hormone optimization, training, sleep, hydration, alcohol, and what it actually takes to stay sharp when life is demanding. Dr. Lewis explains why he sees this work as useful not just for advanced disease, but as part of a lifelong health toolbox.Dr. John Lewis is the founder of Dr. Lewis Nutrition and the creator of Daily Brain Care, a supplement built from the research he conducted at the University of Miami. His work spans more than 180 published papers and continues to focus on how nutrition can support the body’s own regulatory systems.

Essential listening if you want a deeper, science-backed conversation about brain health, inflammation, immune function, and what optimized living can look like in practice.

Most high-performing men don't fail in business. They fail at home. Quietly. And they don't even realize they are the problem.

In this 2026 relaunch episode, I sit down with Dr. Jim Bob Haggerton - chiropractor, author, and mentor to high-capacity couples - to expose what we call the Entrepreneurial Sickness. We dive into the hidden drift toward narcissism, control, and emotional isolation that destroys marriages while careers grow.

This conversation is about one word men hate: SURRENDER.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why successful men secretly become the bottleneck in their own lives How ambition turns into control and slowly disconnects you from your wife The Faith over Fear shift that 2026 demands The No-Ass Theory and why weak glutes predict early decline The brutal truth about making your wife feel alone while living in the same house What real Christian masculine leadership looks like behind closed doors

This is not self-help fluff. This is not hustle culture hype. This is a mirror. If you are a founder, entrepreneur, or driven husband who feels tension you cannot explain, this episode will hit harder than you expect.

Summary:

In this episode of Maxed Out Man, Kevin Davis interviews Chad Austin, owner of Priority Fitness and author of the book series Make Fitness a Priority. Chad shares his journey from personal trainer to fitness author, focusing on how fitness has to fit into one’s life sustainably. Emphasizing the "fitness pivot" approach, Chad highlights the importance of adaptability and flexibility in maintaining long-term fitness. He discusses common obstacles, like the "inconsistency rollercoaster" and the "too busy" excuse, and offers strategies to break free from these mindsets. Chad also emphasizes setting small, realistic goals and the importance of accountability and support in a fitness journey. His mission is to help clients shift from short-term motivation to a lasting commitment that turns fitness into an integral part of life.

Key Takeaways:

1. Adaptability is Key: Fitness routines should adapt to changes in life, focusing on what fits best for current circumstances rather than sticking to past standards.
2. Celebrate Small Wins: Recognizing every improvement, whether it’s getting all workouts in or hitting a new strength goal, helps build a positive fitness mindset.
3. The Power of Accountability: Having a support system, be it a trainer, workout partner, or community, can make a significant difference in achieving fitness goals.
4. Avoid the Inconsistency Trap: Fitness should be a priority year-round; adopting a mindset that sees fitness as a lifelong journey helps combat the “on-and-off” cycle.
5. Focus on Sustainable Goals: Prioritize fitness practices that align with your life, aiming for sustainable, long-term benefits rather than quick fixes.

Summary:

In this episode of Maxed Out Man, host Kevin Davis speaks with Michael Sartain, a performance coach and founder of the Men of Action program. Michael dives deep into what truly attracts women to men, debunking common myths about looks and wealth while exploring status, confidence, and behavioral cues that signal attraction.

He shares insights from evolutionary psychology, explaining concepts like "mate choice copying" and "pre-selection." The discussion also highlights the importance of social proof, competence, and establishing boundaries in relationships. Michael’s program emphasizes self-improvement through leadership, social dynamics, and living with integrity, helping men build authentic connections and reach their full potential.

Key Takeaways:

1. Social Proof Matters: Women are drawn to men who are respected and admired by others; being seen with high-status individuals boosts perceived attractiveness.
2. Competence Over Wealth: Real attraction comes from confidence and capability, not just financial success.
3. Boundaries Are Key: Setting clear boundaries is essential in relationships; doing everything a partner wants can be perceived as weakness.
4. Integrity and Accountability: Living with honesty and purpose builds trust and confidence, which are fundamental to successful relationships.
5. Self-Improvement Through Action: Building attraction and influence requires ongoing self-improvement, showing up authentically, and embracing growth.

Here are the main strategies Michael Sartain recommends for attracting and building successful relationships:

1. Leverage Social Proof and Pre-Selection:
   • Surround yourself with high-status individuals and be seen in positive social contexts, as people (especially women) are naturally attracted to men respected by others. Displaying pre-selection—being around women who are interested in you—also boosts attractiveness.
2. Develop Competence and Confidence:
   • Rather than focusing solely on money or looks, men should work on personal skills and competencies. This includes charisma, humor, and the ability to navigate social situations, all of which signal high social value and self-assuredness.
3. Create and Maintain Boundaries:
   • In relationships, Michael emphasizes that doing everything a partner asks can be counterproductive, as it can signal a lack of backbone. Instead, maintain your values and boundaries to show strength and consistency.
4. Embrace Integrity and Accountability:
   • Be honest and purposeful in your actions. Integrity in words and behavior builds trust, while a commitment to self-improvement fosters authentic connections and makes you more attractive long-term.
5. Prioritize Action and Self-Improvement:
   • The “Men of Action” approach encourages continuous self-growth through setting and accomplishing personal goals. Michael’s philosophy highlights that the best way to improve social and relationship dynamics is through action, not just theory.

These strategies together create a foundation for building not just attraction but also meaningful, resilient relationships.
