Brother, let me ask you something straight. What happens to a bicycle when it stops moving forward? You know the answer.

A man’s the same way. When he stops moving forward, he falls down.

That’s exactly what happens when you buy into the lie that you’ve earned relaxing and slowing down later in life. The truth is simple: purpose is a man’s best friend. Dogs are second.

In this episode, Ken Kowalsky — physical therapist, wrestling coach, husband, and dad of four — exposes the dangerous myth of “retirement.” He reveals why most men lose their strength, clarity, and drive after 50… and how to flip that script to make your second half your strongest.

You’ll learn:

• Why “relaxing” is the most seductive trap men fall into

• How to recognize when you’re in The Slow Glide toward decline

• What purpose does to your testosterone, dopamine, and mindset

• The story of a fisherman who found new life by writing his survival guide

• How to find a new mission that reignites your body and mind

If you’re a man over 50 who feels like you’re fading, this episode will wake you up. You were built to move, to build, to lead. That’s not pressure — that’s physics.

Listen now and discover why purpose isn’t optional. It’s biological.
