What happens when you’ve checked all the boxes—success, money, family—and still feel completely lost?

In this powerful episode of The MCP Project, Marissa Padilla sits down with Lions Not Sheep founder Sean Whalen for an unfiltered conversation on building from rock bottom, redefining masculinity, and the raw truth about purpose, discipline, and walking with God.

From personal rock bottoms to six-pack discipline and business leadership, Sean opens up about the midlife crisis that sparked his brand’s creation, the truth behind what makes a man unshakable, and why authenticity beats image every time. He shares how 75 Hard rewired his mental blueprint, why being "selfish" is the key to being truly selfless, and how fatherhood, faith, and failure have shaped his mission.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt the grind wear you down, or wondered how to rise with fire again—this conversation will speak directly to you.

Topics include:

• How Lions Not Sheep was born from a broken place

• Why most men are silently drowning while pretending to thrive

• Fatherhood, fitness, and fierce discipline

• The hidden cost of ignoring your calling

• The power of living blissfully dissatisfied
