What happens when men stop hiding behind ego and start living with honesty, faith, and accountability? In this powerful episode of The Willpower Podcast, Emmy Award–winning meteorologist and productivity coach Ted Phaeton opens up about the journey of modern masculinity—why mentorship matters, how faith anchors growth, and the brutal truth that life will humble you if you don’t humble yourself first.

From building The Modern Man Podcast and The Noble Knights community, to navigating ego, isolation, faith, and leadership, Ted shares the tools men need to transform their lives and step into purpose.

We cover:

✅ Why brotherhood and mentorship save men from isolation

✅ The power of “3:00am friends” and real accountability

✅ How to run an honest self-audit without judgment

✅ Faith, obedience, and leading with something bigger than yourself

✅ Why growth requires humility and courage to face the truth

This is more than a conversation about masculinity—it’s a blueprint for men who want to live with clarity, strength, and purpose.
