Sorry for the mini break but Thoughts Of An Average Joe Is Back!! Today we kick off a new series Discipline over Desire. In this powerful kickoff to the Discipline Over Desire series, we break down why discipline is the cornerstone of every man’s success. From building structure and consistency to creating confidence and respect, this episode explores how discipline shapes every area of a man’s life — career, health, relationships, and mindset.

We’ll talk about what discipline really is (and isn’t), the massive advantages it brings, and the hidden costs of living without it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, distracted, or like you’re just drifting through life, this conversation will give you the wake-up call — and the first steps — to take control and build a solid foundation for your future.

In this episode we talk about why men need discipline and the benefits that come from discipline.

Welcome to another episode of "Thoughts Of An Average Joe." Today Taroy talks about what it means to be really average since he is the "Average Joe." In this episode, we challenge society’s obsession with being “exceptional” and explore what it truly means to be average in today’s world. Taroy breaks down the pressures we all feel to constantly outperform, glow up, or go viral — and asks the honest question: What’s so wrong with just being good enough?

Taroy dives into how social media skews our sense of self-worth, why hustle culture makes people feel like failures, and how embracing your average journey can actually bring peace, confidence, and balance. Being average doesn’t mean you’re not valuable — it means you're human, relatable, and real.

This is a reminder to listeners that success isn’t always flashy, and that living a fulfilling life on your own terms — without constantly comparing yourself — is more than okay. It's powerful.

Welcome back to another episode of "Thoughts Of An Average Joe." In this episode Taroy brings Tyler on they dive deep into the overwhelming pressure many people feel to “have it all together” by the time they hit their 30s. From career goals and home ownership to relationships and starting families, society often pushes a strict timeline of what success should look like leaving many of us feeling behind, anxious, or like we’re failing at adulthood.

They unpack where these expectations come from, how social media and culture fuel the comparison trap, and why it’s okay if your journey doesn’t match the so-called “blueprint.” We also explore the mental and emotional toll of chasing unrealistic timelines, and most importantly, how to redefine success on your own terms.

If you've ever looked around and thought, “I should be further by now,” this episode is for you.
