Are you afraid to give something up—even if you know it’s holding your family back? What if the “sacrifice” you’re resisting is the exact bridge to the life you actually want? In this powerful conversation, Greg and Rachel answer a listener’s question inspired by James Allen: “He who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” They share the real sacrifices they made to build an extraordinary family life—from walking away from comfort and conformity to investing tens of thousands into personal growth, ditching entertainment for education, and choosing experiences and character over stuff. You’ll learn how to overcome the fear of loss, handle others’ opinions, and trade short-term ease for long-term joy, health, and purpose. Big idea: It’s hard to call it a “sacrifice” when what you get back is better than what you gave up. Bottom line: The most important investment you’ll ever make is in yourself—and then in your spouse and kids. Key Takeaways: ✅ Comfort is costly—trade it for purpose, health, and momentum. ✅ Invest in yourself first, then your spouse and kids. ✅ Entertainment steals growth; education multiplies it. ✅ Ditch “peacock pageantry”—results beat credentials. ✅ Own your outcomes—no blame, no excuses. ✅ Failure ≠ final—it’s fertilizer for your future. Memorable Quotes 🗣 “It’s hard to call it a sacrifice when the return is better than what you gave up.” 🗣 “Most people are entertaining themselves to death—and taking their families with them.” 🗣 “Results are the only real qualification.” 🗣 “Only little people get upset over little things.” 🗣 “Failure is fertilizer—use it.” 🔔 Don’t miss more parenting insights—subscribe now: https://yt.openinapp.co/GDYT www.FormidableFamilyMan.com RESOURCES: Let me help you in your journey to becoming a more Purpose Driven Leader: Free course!

Are you torn between protecting your kids’ mental health and preparing them for real-world stress? Most parents feel this tension—and many swing too far toward pressure or protection. In this video, Greg & Rachel share a better path: don’t inflict pressure—be the anchor while your kids face it. You’ll learn how to build grit through trust, identity, and modeling, so challenge actually strengthens your bond instead of breaking it. What we cover: • Identity over willpower: why saying “I’m not a smoker” beats “I’m trying to quit.” • Anchor, don’t apply pressure: your job is safety + modeling, not manufactured hardship. • Results don’t lie: how your life becomes the proof your kids can’t ignore. • Trust first, then stretch: push to the “next rock,” then keep your promise and carry them. • Adjust your strategy: when you “get punched in the face,” learn, adapt, iterate. • Do hard things yourself: kids spot hypocrisy—lead from the front. • Make discomfort enjoyable: turn tough conversations, workouts, and cold plunges into shared wins. Big Idea: Grit grows in connection. When kids know you’ll both challenge and carry them, they lean in, try again, and adopt a new identity that sustains lifelong habits. Key Takeaways ✅ Be the anchor, not the pressure. Safety + example ＞ force. ✅ Model hard things. If you don’t, they won’t. ✅ Identity drives habits. Become the family who does the hard, good things. ✅ Keep promises. Stretch to the “next rock,” then carry—that’s how trust is built. ✅ Iterate, don’t implode. When it’s not working, change your approach, not your ideals.

Pass the silent film test.” 🗣 “Identity changes behavior more than willpower.” 🗣 “Stretch, then carry. That’s how trust grows.” Want help implementing this at home?
