How to Stop Being a "Fixer"

When the temptation to “fix” a situation fires up in you, STOP. Most men are hard-wired to react to problems with a solution, but that “solution” is doomed from the start. In this new episode, Mark lays out the FUNDAMENTAL difference between “fixers” and true leaders, highlighting why KNOWING your problems is MUCH more important than “fixing” them. Mark covers WHY fixing things is such a bad approach, TWO simple words to help you ground yourself in stressful situations, and the REAL reason you want to fix everything and how to anticipate issues BEFORE any damage is done.

“Men, we are good at fixing shit, but your wife is NOT something that needs to be fixed. Leaders are anticipators who anticipate problems and lead from humility, whereas fixers only react to problems out of fear.”

- Mark Santiago
