Episode 185 - 7 RADICAL Mindset Shifts That Will Help Men Over 40 Stop Quitting & Get Better Results

Author: Funk Roberts December 20, 2025 Duration: 57:16

Finding a deep emotional reason to change won't save you when stress hits hard. The only thing that guarantees transformation when motivation fades is making the hard decision to take radical ownership of everything in your life.

In this episode, I break down exactly why relying on motivation keeps you stuck in a cycle of failure and how shifting to a mindset of radical ownership gives you your power back.


I used to preach that your why should make you cry, but I realized that emotional reasons crumble the moment you get tired or busy.


Tune in to learn about the seven specific codes of ownership that allow you to stop making excuses and start building the consistency required to be an Alpha OG.


Enjoy the episode.
