New Podcast Episode: From Bulldozer to Builder: How Craig Transformed His Marriage, Confidence & Emotional Strength


Hey Reader,

For years, Craig believed what most of us have been taught:

If I work harder, provide more, and push through… eventually, she’ll see how much I love her.

So he bulldozed his way through life—building a house, growing a business, staying busy, doing everything right.

But underneath the effort was a silent desperation.

He was exhausted. Resentful. Alone.

And no matter how much he did, it never seemed to be enough.

His wife felt it. His kids felt it. He felt it.

And when everything started to break, Craig was forced to face the truth:
No amount of “doing” was ever going to fix what was broken inside.

In this week’s Masterful Man podcast, Craig shares his journey:
🔹 How emotional neediness—not laziness—destroyed connection
🔹 The hidden trap of trying to “earn” your wife’s affection
🔹 Why his confidence was tied to sex—and why it never worked
🔹 The moment he realized he was living for validation
🔹 What finally helped him stop blaming and start leading
🔹 How he rebuilt his life from the inside out—with men’s community as his guide
🔹 And the powerful shift that changed everything: I am enough

This isn’t a story about being perfect.
It’s about what happens when a man stops trying to fix others and starts taking full responsibility for himself.

Sven Masterson - Author, Mentor, and Coach

Hey, I’m Sven Masterson—husband, father, mentor, and coach to men who refuse to stay stuck. I work with men who are tired of frustration, conflict, and self-doubt—men who are ready to break free from patterns that keep them small and step into a life of strength, clarity, and purpose. For years, I’ve helped men navigate the toughest personal and relationship challenges—not with gimmicks or quick-fix tactics, but by guiding them to unravel emotional struggles, reclaim their power, and lead their lives with confidence. Through my writing, private community, and one-on-one mentoring, I challenge men to rise—to stop waiting, stop blaming, and start leading themselves and their relationships with unshakable presence. If you’re done with feeling stuck and you’re ready to become the man your life, marriage, and mission need you to be, let’s get to work.

Hey Reader, I’ve been hearing from women for years—quietly, consistently—asking for something that didn’t exist yet. Some are women doing the emotional heavy lifting in a relationship where their partner still doesn’t “get it.”Others are women whose partners are trying—maybe even working with me—but they’re still uncertain, cautious, or just carrying a lot on their own. What they’ve all shared in common is this: They’re tired of feeling like the only one doing the work.They want to stay...

Do you really think you’re an  Alpha or Sigma  Male?

Hey Reader, One of the men in our community recently asked where Masterful Men stands in the whole "Alpha/Beta/Sigma" conversation. It got me thinking—this comes up now and again... maybe it's worth saying more publicly. So, I added a new piece to the website… and I wanted to share it with you here as well. There’s no shortage of opinions these days about what kind of man you should be. Alpha. Beta. Sigma. High value. Stoic. Dangerous. Unavailable but attractive.Assertive, but not aggressive....

Hey Reader, You’re highly capable—a man who can solve complex problems, lead teams, execute under pressure, and optimize just about anything. But when it comes to your relationships, your emotions, or figuring out what the hell is actually going on inside you? That’s where the confusion hits. You’ve spent your whole life figuring things out—mastering skills, solving problems, making things work. So why can’t you figure yourself out? Why does it feel like the more you achieve, the more...
