When life knocked him down, Paul Murphy got up fighting. 💥 After a crushing divorce, Paul realized most men feel alone and “expected to figure it out on their own”.

He decided to change that. Paul took his own heartbreak and built Divorce Detox, a program that’s helping men navigate the emotional, financial, and personal turmoil of divorce with confidence.

In our latest Unfiltered Fridays episode, he shares his powerful story – from feeling lost and broken to becoming a mentor for thousands of dads. This episode is raw, honest, and truly inspiring. 🙏 Join us for the premiere and hear how Paul turned pain into purpose, and how he’s shouting from the rooftops that being divorced doesn’t mean you’re defeated.

🚀 The Great Gorilla Debate: 100 People vs. 1 Gorilla 🦍

Alright, folks, let's dive into an age-old question that's been buzzing around my mind like a hyperactive Pikachu: Who would win in a showdown—100 people or 1 gorilla? 🤔

As a 41-year-old anime-loving Master Sergeant and podcast founder, I've learned a thing or two about strategy and, well, the occasional underdog story. Picture this: 100 office warriors armed with PowerPoint presentations and motivational quotes versus a gorilla with more muscle than my right shoulder post-surgery. (Yes, the left side is still winning that battle!) 💪

In the world of anime, the underdog often prevails against all odds. But let's be honest, if the gorilla's got a solid training montage, those 100 folks might want to reconsider their life choices. Imagine trying to explain to your boss why you missed the 9 AM meeting: "Sorry, got caught up in a gorilla brawl." 😂

But here's the twist—what if we bring in the power of teamwork and strategy? Just like in Naruto or One Piece, our 100-strong crew could channel their inner anime heroes, combining their unique skills to outsmart the mighty gorilla. Maybe even throw in a motivational speech or two from my Momentum Mondays podcast for good measure. 🎙️

In the end, whether you're facing a gorilla or just the challenges of everyday life, remember: it's not about the size of the opponent but the strength of your spirit. And if all else fails, there's always plan B—running faster than the slowest person in the group. 😉

Stay strong, my fellow underdogs! 🏃‍♂️💨
