  • 277. Ten Guaranteed Ways To Ruin Your Life (Do The Opposite)
    Jan 22 2026
    Most people spend their lives chasing happiness yet end up miserable. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick flip the script using inverse thinking to expose 10 decisions that almost guarantee a broken, unhappy life. Inspired by the philosophies of Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett, this episode shows that sometimes the fastest path to wisdom is learning what not to do.

    You’ll hear why making life all about yourself leads to emptiness, how chronic complaining drains momentum, why refusing to take risks kills potential, and how neglecting self-development, health, and belief sabotages your future. Garrett breaks down how belief systems shape outcomes, why confidence and risk are inseparable, and how consuming more than you create slowly erodes purpose and fulfillment.

    The episode culminates with the two most destructive choices of all: loving yourself more than God, and never developing a deep, lifelong relationship with Him. If you want to avoid regret, live with meaning, and build a life that actually works, this episode gives you a clear warning sign for every major pitfall—and shows you how to walk the opposite path toward purpose, faith, and strength.

  • 276. How to Rebuild After Divorce, Failure, or a Major Setback
    Jan 19 2026
    Sometimes life doesn’t just get difficult, it collapses. A marriage fails. A business blows up. A moral mistake costs you everything. A tragedy hits your family. And suddenly you’re standing in the rubble asking the question: How do I rebuild?

    In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down what it really takes to rebuild your life the right way. Not through hype, denial, or pretending it never happened, but through grit, a strong attitude, honest ownership, and disciplined execution. Using the story of James Braddock (“Cinderella Man”) and powerful real-life examples, they show how comeback stories are forged through perseverance, not comfort.

    You’ll learn the step-by-step process for rebuilding: taking ownership of what happened, choosing what you’re actually willing to rebuild toward, stabilizing the basics, separating identity from performance, and staying in the fight long enough for the new foundation to hold. If you’re in a rebuilding season, or you want to prepare for one, this episode gives you the mindset and framework to come back stronger than before.

  • 275. The 7 Keys to Becoming a Respected Man
    Jan 15 2026
    Every man wants respect—but very few understand how it actually works. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down what respect really is, why it matters, and how it’s built over time through discipline, character, and consistency. Respect isn’t about intimidation or popularity—it’s about becoming someone others trust, listen to, and follow.

    The conversation walks through seven key categories that determine a man’s “respect score”: self-confidence, physical and personal appearance, words, competence, track record, emotional control, and character. In each area, Garrett explains how men either gain or lose credibility—often without realizing it. Respect is earned slowly, lost quickly, and revealed most clearly under pressure.

    This episode is a self-examination for men who want greater influence in their marriage, leadership, faith, and work. If you want to build a life that carries weight, unlock trust, and expand your ability to lead and serve others, this conversation gives you a practical framework for becoming the kind of man people naturally respect.
