In this episode, Hector has a great talk with his longtime friend and Modern Man Podcast host, Ted Phaeton, about the weight men carry—fatherhood, marriage, business, and the relentless pursuit of being that guy in every arena. Ted shares how he’s juggling the chaos of raising a newborn while running his podcast and coaching business, all while staying dialed in on his health, discipline, and leadership. They get into why men need to embrace both their strength and their softness, how breathwork and Muay Thai are shaping Ted’s ability to lead, and why the “have it all” myth is setting guys up for failure. If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, stuck between your responsibilities and your purpose, this one’s for you.Chapters:00:00:00 - The Weight We Carry as Men00:00:56 - Newborns, Business, and the Chaos in Between00:02:46 - Keeping the Plates Spinning: Fatherhood vs. Career00:04:42 - What Every Man Needs to Hear (But Rarely Does)00:10:31 - Mastering the Clock: Time, Discipline, and Execution00:16:37 - Staying Steady When the Storm Hits00:18:42 - Pressure, Peace, and the Art of Staying Cool00:22:45 - Brotherhood, Breathwork, and the Real Meaning of Self-Care00:23:35 - Warrior & Poet: The Full Spectrum of a Man00:25:26 - Life Has Seasons—Are You Built for All of Them?00:27:45 - The Most Dangerous Man in the Room00:30:22 - Who You Are vs. Who They Told You to Be00:33:09 - The Four Codes Every Man Should Live By00:36:26 - Building a Life That Works—Not Just One That Pays00:38:05 - The Trap of Chasing the Wrong Success00:40:54 - Your Next Steps—And Why This Conversation MattersLinks and Resources:Ted on LinkedInThe Modern Man Show WebsiteThe Modern Man Show on YouTubeMore links for Ted here!Hector Santiesteban on LinkedInHector Santiesteban on TwitterThanks so much for joining us this week.
