In this episode Al dives into the 2 Pillars that are critical to building and keeping a successful marriage in modern times. With the competition towards a healthy marriage being much more than just another man (Women, Technology, Institutions, Social Media). These 2 core components when applied are going to safeguard you against all external threats, build your level of value and create an unbreakable connection between you and your wife. A powerful episode not to miss!
Most men don’t lose their marriage in a single fight — they lose it slowly. One compromise, one avoided conversation, one dropped standard at a time… until they’ve drifted from Chief to passenger. In this first part of The Chief’s Code, Alex Ranieri reveals the Core 8 Pillars every man must hold if he wants to lead his marriage with strength and ignite polarity again. From mission to mystery, presence to play, these foundations are the non-negotiables that create safety, respect, and desire. Drop one, and the frame collapses. Master them, and you become the man she can’t help but follow. Lead Her. Keep Her. Light Her Up.⚔️❤️🔥
A father on the brink chose leadership over leaving. HPF member Matt Lehman went from 70-hour weeks, numb and overworked, to present husband, dangerous-in-the-best-way dad, and a man with standards. We break down the exact moves: cutting hours to 40, rebuilding marriage with decisive communication, ditching booze, owning health, and leading kids with strength and heart. If you refuse to pass your pain to the next generation—this is the blueprint.
When doctors told Aidan he had months to live, he joined HPF to make his last days count. That was nearly three years ago. Today, he’s stronger, leaner, running a thriving family business, and carving a legacy his children will never forget. In this powerful follow-up episode, Aidan opens up about facing down a 94mm brain tumor, rebuilding his marriage, transforming fatherhood, and why “one more day” became his ultimate weapon. His story isn’t just about survival—it’s about resilience, presence, and what it really means to live as a man, husband, and father. If you’ve ever doubted your time, your strength, or your purpose—this episode will change that.
In this episode, Al unpacks six hard-hitting truths for men who want to rise above mediocrity. From the power of accountability in shaping your behavior, to why failure is the real growth engine, to courage as life’s most rewarded attribute—this one cuts deep. You’ll hear why success will never come looking for you, how to handle critics, and the non-negotiable truth that people grow apart when no one leads. Straight talk, no fluff—lessons to sharpen your edge as a husband, father, and leader.
From Norway to Australia, from father to leader — Callum Francis shares a powerful journey of proactive fatherhood, masculine accountability, and building a legacy from strength, not crisis.

A masterclass in standards, self-awareness, and stepping into the fire — for any man who refuses to settle.
From snowball fights as a boy in Italy, to building a 54-square home with no money, to raising four sons while defying the weight of a strict upbringing - Al’s Father Joe shares a journey that is raw, unfiltered, and powerful. In this special birthday episode, we talk fatherhood, resilience, legacy, and the unshakable truth that your actions define your reality. It’s a conversation packed with laughs, life lessons, and a few of his signature dad roasts.
What do you do once you’ve rebuilt your life? You build others. In Part 2, Naz Santoro opens up on fatherhood, marriage, leadership—and the man he had to become to create a legacy he’s proud of. From raising daughters with strength and softness, to earning back trust at home and on the farm, this is generational growth in real time. He didn’t just save himself. He became the blueprint. This episode is for men who’ve changed a little… but know they’re not done yet. Go all in. Your family’s future is watching.
From nearly ending it all… to leading hundreds of men home. In this raw 2-part episode, Naz Santoro returns to the HPF mic—father of three, husband, builder of men. We dive into his brutal comeback story, from suicidal despair to legacy-driven leadership. He shares how self-love is forged through ownership, how marriage was rebuilt through actions not promises, and how fatherhood now fuels his fire instead of draining it. This is for the man on the edge. The man ready to rise—but doesn’t know how. Don’t just survive. Build.

Listen in on the wisdom of an incredibly deep man who’s come from the depths of despair to flying high at the top of his mountain in life - the first of many more big mountain conquerings to come…
Luke is the epitome of HPF. Like many men successful in work he found some stagnant parts and points in relationships that were unfulfilling, with his lowered trajectory of growth causing friction, cracks and stories that removed his personal power. Fast forward to now and he is crushing life in Family, Self and Service, inspirational connections with his partner and 2 sons and a vision for setting up an extraordinary legacy that those he loves and cares about will reap the benefits of - a MUST LISTEN.

Sean was skeptical of HPF, and once he joined, he was even more skeptical - But not for the reason you might think. Once he realised that Al hadn’t hired 450 actors to support him, coach him, guide him, want the best for him, and hold him accountable - but rather they were real genuine fathers and high performers like Sean himself looking to carve out a legacy as a tribe, he went ALL IN and flourished. Listen to his story, a rare one that takes a man in his early 50’s from stagnation and a downturn in life to a whole new level of ambition, achievements and leadership for himself and his family
