Welcome back! This week I sit down with Ryan Miller James to unpack his mission to equip 3,000,000 men to become all God created them to be—radically following Christ, showing up as exceptional husbands and fathers, and thriving in business.

We dig into why digitized “self-help” left men lonelier than ever, how real change happens in community, and the power of identity (moving from “I’m an addict” to I’m recovered).

We also get practical: group work vs. solo work, breaking chaos addiction as entrepreneurs, using parts work (IFS) to love the old versions of ourselves, and choosing a simpler, more sovereign “king” energy that puts faith, family, health before everything else.

Key Highlights:

- The 3M Mission: Ryan shares a God-given vision to impact 3,000,000 men—and what “equipped” actually looks like at home, at work, and in faith.

- Why courses weren’t enough: Post-2020, digitizing growth often amplified isolation. Men don’t just need more content; they need brothers.

- Identity vs labels: The danger of living as “I am an addict / adulterer / 7-figure entrepreneur.” How to anchor identity in Christ and move forward.

- Recovered vs. in recovery: Language matters. We talk about the shift from carrying a permanent label to embodying a new life—with vigilance.

- Chaos addiction for entrepreneurs: When things finally get peaceful, we self-sabotage. How to spot it, stop it, and build stability without drama.

- Parts work (IFS) in practice: You won’t outrun old versions of you. Learn to see, love, and integrate them so you can become whole.

- The palm-tree posture: Build inner strength so external storms don’t snap you—they bend around you.

- From prince to king: Setting boundaries, saying no, elevating standards, and leading from a sovereign heart.

- The power of going first: Vulnerability gives other men permission to tell the truth and heal.

- Community beats secrecy: Men’s groups, in-person reps, and why simply showing up breaks the lie that you’re alone.

You’re not behind—you’re becoming. Drop the lone-wolf act, pick up brotherhood, and let your identity lead your habits. If this episode hit home, share it with a friend who needs a nudge back into community.
