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.

This is how good men quietly disappear

Hey Reader, A lot of men who read this are exhausted. Some are coasting, others are numb. Many are collecting insights and hoping one finally makes a dent. Experience tells me that a good bit of them feel like they’re doing everything right, but still stuck with a life that doesn’t feel like their own. If that’s where you are, I get it. I spent a long time there too, living in flat-out hopelessness. I couldn’t imagine things changing, and I had more than a little anxiety that I might die...
