8 Weeks To Becoming
A Sovereign Man

“Build a business that works for you instead of you building a business that you have to work for.” 

 A man can choose to become who he wants to become, not who his environment programs him to be. Ambition, discipline, and relentless learning can transform a man’s trajectory. Developing strength isn’t just physical or financial; it’s the ability to outgrow the limits of your childhood, elevate your standards, and build a future that reflects who you intend to be. 

“Everything in this entire world… rises and falls on male leadership.” 

Strong male leadership shapes families, communities, and culture. When men show up with conviction, clarity, and responsibility, everyone around them rises. But when men avoid truth, hide from challenge, or drift without identity, the whole system breaks down. This conversation dives into the principles that help men reclaim strength: accountability, brotherhood, self-awareness, and the courage to confront what needs confronting. 

“What happens is when we trip and fall, we start acting like who we used to be rather than who we are. It’s so important for us to recognize who God says we are and to proclaim that.” 

 Every man faces giants—habits, fears, and doubts that keep him from living with conviction. The Goliath Code lays out a battle plan rooted in spiritual warfare: knowing who you are, where you stand, and what armor you carry. The fight isn’t against people; it’s against the unseen forces trying to pull you back into bondage and away from your mission. 

“When you’ve been through a bunch of stuff like your mom dying at seven years old, you become somewhat resilient to a lot of things. I mean, pain is just pain.” 

Resilience is born from struggle—not comfort. It’s forged in the moments when life takes something from you and you have to rebuild, harder and wiser than before. From childhood loss to standing on his own at nine years old, Tony Cohen’s life shows that hardship isn’t the enemy; it’s the teacher that builds backbone, grit, and purpose. 

“There’s nothing more manly than putting in a good day’s work and seeing the fruits of your labor.” 

The world tells young men to chase degrees, screens, and easy comfort. But fulfillment doesn’t come from theory—it comes from effort, grit, and creating something real. True confidence is earned when a man learns to build, fix, and contribute with his own hands. 

“If you did nothing else for yourself, cut out the sugar in your diet.” 

Most people think their health problems are genetic, but Dr. Martin argues the real culprit is metabolic dysfunction caused by sugar. He explains that heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes are all downstream effects of one condition — metabolic syndrome — and that reversing it starts with changing your fuel. Our bodies were designed to run on protein and fat, not refined carbs and fructose-laden foods that dominate the modern diet. 

“You can make all the money in the world, but if you aren’t there for the moments that matter, it’s going to leave a deeper wound.” 

The heart of a man is tested not in the boardroom but in the living room. True strength lies in presence — not in possessions or performance. This conversation unpacks what happens when men chase success but lose sight of what truly matters: family, legacy, and love. 

“Once you get into it, it’s not about the gun anymore. It’s about the people and the experience.”  

 There’s a reason men are drawn to weapons—they represent competence, focus, and responsibility. Knowing how to handle a gun isn’t about fear; it’s about readiness. When a man develops skill under pressure, he learns calm, control, and respect for power. It’s the same mindset that builds confidence in business, family, and life. 

Strength and safety aren’t just about muscles or bravado—they’re about preparation. The episode digs into why firearms remain both a skill and a responsibility, touching on safety, self-reliance, and freedom. Guns aren’t only about defense; they represent the ability to protect, provide, and carry forward a tradition of resilience that stretches back generations. 

Most men settle for a paycheck without realizing it’s shrinking against inflation. Financial freedom isn’t about wishing life were easier—it’s about building strength, taking responsibility, and facing problems head-on. The real measure of a man is not what he earns, but the character he shows in how he lives.
