EP76: Matthew Roda - How To Set High Standards & Keep Raising Them

Written By Chris Rodd

“If you’re not physically at the best you can be it’s going to hurt your mental game. And vice versa. If your mental game isn’t on point, you’re not going to be performing physically like you could be.”

There’s a mainstream message promoting the idea that being soft is ok. Images of the ‘dad bod’ are found in social media where these men are heralded as accomplished and even sexy. “No thank-you” says today’s guest, Matt Roda. “If you’re not operating at a peak performance you’re not being the best man that you can be and I feel like the world deserves that version of you.” So much garbage is promoted through too many mainstream channels and it’s worth asking why and where it comes from. It has its roots and we discuss them in today’s episode. One main takeaway is that if you remove the basic premise of reality from people’s minds, you’ll have a bunch of confused people without purpose who are easy to control.

The crux of this conversation is physical and mental sovereignty. 

Matt suggests: 

  1. Men block out the noise, get in tunnel vision, and get disciplined. 

  2. Lift heavy shit, put good nutrients in your body so your body won’t diminish. 

  3. Be the leader in your relationship with your wife. Pick her up and show her your masculinity. Protect her and love her.

  4. Procreate. Raise badass children.

  5. Study a few different people, check out their mission and their principles and pick five things you like about each of them. Make that the foundation for who you want to be.
