“There are so many dudes out there that need the help of people like myself and other therapists and divorce coaches, and they don’t pick up the phone, they don’t ask for the help because everybody has John Wayne syndrome.”

Divorce isn’t just a legal process; it’s a complete upheaval of your emotional, financial, and mental worlds. The truth is, most people walk into it underprepared, thinking they can “figure it out” as they go. That’s a mistake. Divorce demands strategy, whether it’s navigating the legal complexities, dividing assets, or recalibrating your life after the dust settles. Smart planning—think prenups, financial foresight, and clear boundaries—can save you from unnecessary heartbreak and financial ruin. The core lesson? Treat your divorce like a high-stakes business deal—leave emotion at the door, and always come prepared with a team of experts.

Our guest for this episode is a financial expert who turned his own painful divorce into a mission to help others. After navigating an $85,000 divorce battle, he realized the importance of preparation, prenups, and knowing when to call in reinforcements. His business specializes in the financial nuances of divorce—alimony, child support, asset division, you name it—and he urges men to ditch the “John Wayne syndrome” of doing it alone. The takeaway is clear: whether you’re considering a divorce, going through one, or reflecting on the past, the right support can transform a personal disaster into a manageable challenge.
