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.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
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.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
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.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
What does unwavering faith actually look like when life gets painful, confusing, and far harder than you expected? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down why faith isn’t tested in comfort—it’s revealed in adversity.Using stories from Navy SEAL training, endurance sports, Scripture, and real-life leadership, the guys unpack three critical keys to sustaining faith through difficulty. First, they explain why mature men must learn to internalize and process hardship, instead of venting, avoiding, or outsourcing every challenge. Difficulty isn’t meant to destroy you. It’s raw material meant to be refined. Next, they reveal how timeframe orientation determines whether you quit in the valley or endure to the mountaintop. When men lose faith, it’s often because they’re operating on the wrong timeline and expecting eternal outcomes on short-term clocks. Finally, the conversation lands on the most decisive factor of all: authority. What you give ultimate authority to—what you trust more than circumstances—will determine whether your faith collapses or becomes unshakable. This episode is a blueprint for men who want to grow stronger, not bitter… resilient, not reactive… and faithful no matter how long the fight lasts.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick lay out three non-negotiable beliefs that godly men must have if they want to endure adversity, carry responsibility, and fulfill God’s purpose for their lives. These aren’t motivational ideas — they’re foundational truths rooted in Scripture and revealed through how men actually live, work, and lead.The conversation walks through why beliefs reveal themselves through actions, not words, and how default, emotion-driven beliefs quietly sabotage men under pressure. Garrett and Nick unpack what happens when men don’t believe they were made to be strong, made to work, and made to lead — and how that lack of belief shows up as complaining, quitting, avoidance, and identity confusion.This episode challenges men to stop letting culture define masculinity and instead anchor their identity in biblical truth. If you want to build endurance, carry weight without resentment, work with purpose, and lead with responsibility, these three beliefs aren’t optional — they’re essential.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
Most people want to build something great, but very few understand how great things are actually built. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down the principles behind building organizations, businesses, ministries, and movements that last using real examples from Mighty Men, business leadership, and Scripture. You’ll learn why purpose must come before strategy, and why the most powerful organizations are not built around protecting a “castle,” but around slaying a dragon—solving a real problem that benefits others beyond yourself. Garrett explains how purpose must be clearly defined, nearly unattainable, non-conditional, and bigger than the builder if it’s going to attract the right people and sustain momentum over time. The conversation then moves into prototype, teams, systems, and scale. They pull from Biblical templates to show why you must start small, get the fundamentals right, and focus on real change instead of hype or numbers. From discipleship to business, this episode lays out a practical, repeatable framework for anyone who wants to build something meaningful, resilient, and God-honoring. If you’re serious about building something that outlives you, this episode gives you the blueprint.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
Winning in life isn’t about luck, hype, or raw talent. It’s about understanding and applying the right formula. In this episode, Garrett and Nick break down what they call The Winning Formula: a principled, repeatable framework that explains why some people consistently produce results while others stay stuck no matter how hard they try. You’ll learn why winning always starts with right aim, clarity of purpose rooted in God’s design. It's then followed by right execution, the discipline of doing the right things consistently at a high level. Drawing from Scripture, military experience, business leadership, and real-life examples, this episode shows why consistency builds trust, why preparation always precedes opportunity, and why most people quit not because they can’t win, but because they don’t believe they’re meant to. Finally, Garrett and Nick unpack the often-overlooked multiplier in the formula: alignment. Alignment doesn’t add power, it removes friction. Whether in marriage, business, faith, or leadership, misalignment silently drains momentum and sabotages outcomes. If you want to stop guessing, stop drifting, and start winning in a way that honors God and fulfills your purpose, this episode gives you the framework to do exactly that.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
Your beliefs are shaping your life far more than your circumstances ever will. In this episode, Garrett and Nick break down how your internal belief system is formed, why most people never challenge it, and how hidden belief patterns quietly limit your potential as a man of God. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep running into the same walls in relationships, work, or personal growth, this conversation uncovers the roots beneath the surface.You’ll learn the simple but powerful formula behind belief formation, how unregulated emotions hijack your thinking, and why acting on truth (not feelings) is the only path to lasting change. Garrett unpacks three of the most common destructive beliefs men carry (“I’m powerless,” “I must perform to be loved,” and “Life should be fair”) and shows you how to replace them with strong, biblical foundations that actually produce transformation. This episode is a blueprint for renewing your mind: regulating emotions, identifying false narratives, and intentionally walking out the beliefs God calls you to hold. If you want to become the man you were designed to be, it starts by rewriting the beliefs that shape everything you do.

In this powerful shortcast of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick expose one of the most dangerous forces shaping modern men: passivity. Drawing from Scripture, real leadership experience, and hard-earned battlefield lessons, they dismantle the seven lies that keep men stuck, ineffective, and spiritually asleep.Modern culture celebrates “go with the flow” attitudes, conflict avoidance, and emotional softness — but none of that looks like Jesus. Garrett reminds us that Christ was never passive. He confronted lies, protected truth, and led with courage. Real masculinity creates strength, protection, and flourishing — not weakness or drift. Inside this episode, you’ll discover: The Top 7 Passive Lies Men Believe Each lie is unpacked with practical examples and Biblical clarity:“I’m just being patient.” Learn the difference between godly patience and spiritual laziness.“I don’t want to make things worse.” How fear of conflict quietly destroys families, marriages, and leadership.“I’m just laid back.” Why “laid back” can actually be a denial of responsibility.“It’s not a big deal.” The massive danger of minimizing problems.“I don’t feel motivated.” How children follow feelings — men follow truth.“I don’t want to be controlling.” Why real leadership is invitation, not domination.“If God wants it to change, He’ll change it.” One of the most damaging forms of spiritual passivity.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Together, they expose the invisible forces—your beliefs—that quietly dictate your identity, your decisions, your relationships, and ultimately the direction of your entire life.Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, Scripture, and lived experience, the guys explore:Where your beliefs actually come fromHow emotion cements beliefs into your identityWhy most people never question their limiting beliefsHow to identify beliefs that are silently sabotaging your growthThe only two ways beliefs ever change: experience and revelationHow God can supernaturally rewire what you believe in a momentThis episode is equal parts practical, spiritual, and transformational—packed with stories, humor, depth, and life-changing clarity.For more information on Dr Robi, go to https://www.drrobi.com/.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
Identity is the glass ceiling of your life. You will never outperform what you believe about who you are. In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface expose one of the most dangerous lies in modern culture: “Just be authentic.”Culture has reframed feelings as identity and told men that their current state is a virtue.“I’m just being honest.”“That’s just who I am.”“I need validation.”What sounds empowering actually destroys grit, responsibility, and maturity.Garrett and Nick unpack why authenticity without authority leads to narcissism, selfishness, and emotional fragility. True identity doesn’t come from feelings — it comes from authority. And there is no higher authority than God and His Word.Garrett shares his own story of leaving the military and rediscovering parts of himself he had buried for the mission — and why the popular “just accept yourself” message is incomplete and often harmful. There’s a part of your identity you must embrace, and a part you must go to war against.This episode gives men a biblical foundation for identity, the tools to build confidence without pride, and a roadmap for transformation rooted in Scripture and authority — not emotion.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down one of the most valuable — and rare — abilities in leadership: strategic thinking.Most people react. Few people think. Strategic thinking is the discipline of stepping back, seeing the whole picture, and identifying what really matters so you can make decisions that have lasting impact, not just short-term comfort.Garrett shares how this mindset has been one of his greatest assets and how learning to zoom in and out of problems changes your performance in every area of life. Nick dives into the practical tools for developing this skill, from managing your time and asking better questions to practicing reverse stress testing — simplifying until it’s not true.If you want to stop living reactively and start leading intentionally, this episode will teach you how to think at a higher level. In This Episode You’ll Learn:What strategic thinking really means and why it’s essential for leadershipThe 3 questions strategic thinkers always ask:Where are we? – Developing awareness and reality-based evaluationWhere are we going? – Defining purpose and directionWhat matters most right now? – Prioritizing for maximum impactHow to zoom in and out to gain clarity under pressureThe art of simplifying until it’s not true — breaking complexity down without losing truthThe difference between planning and plans — how to adapt when things changeWhy imagination and evaluation are the hidden engines of great leadershipJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface dismantle one of the most powerful lies in modern culture — that you are the main character of your own story.Drawing from Scripture, history, and real-world examples, they explore how society’s obsession with self — from slogans like “Have it your way” and “Because you’re worth it” — has shaped a generation that’s prideful, impatient, and spiritually empty.Garrett and Nick explain that true fulfillment doesn’t come from self-expression but from submission. The difference between salvation and wisdom is learning to play your part in the story God is already writing.Through biblical truth and practical wisdom, they show how humility, endurance, and responsibility unlock the kind of heroic, meaningful life every man was created for. 💡 In This Episode You’ll Learn:Why the world’s version of fulfillment always ends in emptinessThe difference between salvation and maturity — and why most men stop at salvationHow pride blinds you to purpose, and why rebellion always leads to ruinThe power of submission — what it means to let God be the author of your storyThe three daily disciplines of a mature believer:Humility – Recognize your spiritual poverty (Philippians 2:6–8)Responsibility – Build character and consistency (2 Peter 1:5–8)Endurance – Persevere in purpose (Hebrews 12:1–2)Why true fulfillment only comes when you stop chasing control and start following callingJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Thumbs up 👍
Very good. I wish I had listened to this type of advice years ago. Never too late to begin anew.
