The Habit That's Quietly Destroying Your Marriage (98% of Men Have It)

Apr 21, 2026

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hutchinson to talk about a reality most people don’t want to face… but absolutely need to understand.

We go deep into human trafficking, the systems behind it, and what’s actually driving the demand.

But what impacted me most wasn’t just the missions, the rescues, or even the stories…

It was the deeper conversation around healing, responsibility, and how brokenness—left unaddressed—spreads.

We talk about how success without alignment can quietly destroy your life, why so many men are living disconnected from their families, and how the things we ignore today can show up in ways we never intended tomorrow.

This episode isn’t just about awareness.

It’s about taking a hard look in the mirror.

The Deeper Conversation

One of the most powerful ideas from this episode:

“Hurt people hurt people.”

But if that’s true… then healing people change everything.

This isn’t just about stopping bad actors.

It’s about understanding what creates them in the first place—and breaking that cycle before it spreads.
