The Over 40 Alpha Podcast

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.

- Funk’s Book:

I carried a weighted vest on my brain every single day until one simple practice pulled me out of anger, anxiety, and survival mode for good. Gratitude became my secret weapon, my Vitamin G, and fifteen years later it still keeps me calm, dangerous, and unbreakable no matter what chaos shows up.
In this episode I walk you through exactly how I went from bitter and numb at 40 to the calmest, most focused leader I’ve ever been. You’ll hear the science on why gratitude crushes cortisol, fixes sleep, protects your heart, and turns you into the man your family actually wants to follow. Plus I hand you the dead-simple step-by-step system I use every morning so you can start tomorrow and feel the shift fast.
This one practice changed everything for me and thousands of brothers in the program. Grab a pen, brother, because your nervous system needs Vitamin G.
Enjoy the episode.

That feeling of being tired, soft, and weak isn’t just “getting older”. It’s a silent signal that your master male hormone is in trouble. I know because my own fire was almost completely gone when I discovered my testosterone had plummeted to the level of a 90-year-old man.
In this solo episode, I share my personal story of hitting rock bottom with a testosterone score of 189 ng/dL and the exact natural blueprint I used to get it climbing to 790 ng/dL in just six months. I break down what life feels like on both sides of the hormonal spectrum, from the brain fog and belly fat of low T to the clarity, energy, and power of an optimized man.
This is the raw truth about what’s robbing modern men of their vitality and the simple, powerful steps you can take to reclaim your edge.
Enjoy the episode.
