About this listen

 Unfiltered Greatness is for men who didn’t fail…they just outgrew the life that once defined them.

Hosted by former professional athlete and entrepreneur Tanqueray “Tango” Towns, this podcast is for former athletes, high performers, and driven men who feel lost after the structure disappears, the lights go out, and the identity they built their life on no longer fits.

If you’ve ever asked:
  • Who am I without the jersey, the title, or the grind?
  • Why do I feel restless, muted, or behind even though I’m capable?
  • Why does discipline come easy in training but hard in life?
This show is for you.

Each episode strips away performance and nostalgia and gets to the real work: rebuilding identity, values, beliefs, and standards so you can lead again, in your body, your business, your marriage, and your life.

This is not motivation.
This is not therapy.
This is not for men looking to stay comfortable.

Unfiltered Greatness helps men stop shrinking, stop surviving, and stop betraying who they know they’re meant to become, and instead reclaim their edge with clarity, presence, and personal authority. If you’re done coasting on who you used to be and ready to build who you are becoming, stay.

  • Values: The Guardrails Of Your Life

    Values: The Guardrails Of Your Life
    Feb 18 2026
    Tango explains that values aren’t motivational ideas — they are internal laws shaping decisions, relationships, and legacy. Through a powerful fireground story and reflections on fatherhood, he shows how chosen values create clarity, courage, and alignment. This episode challenges men to stop borrowing values from culture or pain and intentionally define the principles that guide who they become when no one is watching.

    Listen in!

    • Guardrails protect you when life gets dangerous.
    • Identity defines who you are. Values define how you live.

    • Chosen values create alignment.
    • Misalignment destroys life slowly.
    • Pain can be a signal of ignored values.
    • Discipline collapses without identity clarity.
    • Success without values feels empty.
    • Values decide what you tolerate.
    • Family, service, and purpose create direction.
    • Leadership begins with personal standards.

  • Who Are You Really?

    Who Are You Really?
    Feb 11 2026
    Tango explains why effort alone never creates lasting change and how the nervous system protects familiar identities—even when they produce chaos. Drawing from his own journey from survival-based hustle to sustainable growth, he shows how expired identities quietly cap success. This episode challenges men to confront who they’ve been, release identities built for survival, and consciously practice the identity required for stability, abundance, and long-term leadership.

    Listen in!


    Takeaways:
    • Identity determines results, not effort.
    • Your life is already aligned with who you believe you are.
    • Survival identities expire.
    • The nervous system protects familiarity, not success.
    • Chaos can feel safer than peace.
    • Identity creates invisible ceilings.
    • Habits snap back to identity.
    • Hustle works for survival, not sustainability.
    • Stability feels unsafe to survival identities.
    • Beliefs protect identity.
    • Values follow identity.
    • Behaviors are identity in motion.
    • Growth feels like betrayal to expired identities.
    • You must practice who you’re becoming.
    • Aligned actions are votes for identity.
    • Confidence doesn’t change identity—fatigue does.
    • Transformation begins with letting go.

  • Transformation Ain’t Optional, It's Survival

    Transformation Ain’t Optional, It's Survival
    Feb 4 2026
    Tango explains that real evolution doesn’t tweak habits — it rewires identity. He breaks down the four pillars running every man’s life: identity, values, beliefs, and behaviors, and shows how misalignment silently caps growth. This is a survival-level episode calling men to audit what’s no longer working, bury the versions built for survival, and rebuild the foundation required for the king they’re meant to become.

    Listen in!


    Takeaways:
    • Transformation is survival.
    • Change modifies behavior. Transformation rewires identity.
    • You live out who you believe you are.
    • Identity is the ceiling of your life.
    • Values are your internal laws.
    • Beliefs are fear wearing a lab coat.
    • Behaviors never lie.
    • Survival mode must be replaced.
    • Some versions of you already expired.
    • Let the old you die.
    • Alignment makes you dangerous.
    • Stop diluting your edge.
    • Shrinking is treason against destiny.
    • Audit your four pillars.
    • Replace what isn’t working.
    • Burn the imposter.
    • Build for the king you’re becoming.
