As men, we think we have to conquer the world. And we’re not wrong. It’s something that’s born into us, but the ego has a challenging way of getting in the way of truly working on ourselves, fixing the broken thought processes and habits that remove life from our relationships.
Doug Mitchell is one of the most humble people you’ll meet, and he’ll be the first to tell you his impactful story of redemption that recreated his family anew and reset his directives in life, not only in work but for everything else that would follow. Doug is the President and CEO of Helios Power and Argenta Field Solutions helping families one door at a time stay energy efficient with solar panels, roofs, and backup batteries.
Pedro and Doug dive right into the essence of masculinity and how it’s often misconstrued as being masculine, tough, rigid, and devoid of anything except one focus…….hunt and kill.
The challenge is to find the balance when you have created a family. Doug shares one of the biggest downfalls that plague and end tons of marriages including his own. He talks about his ex-wife praying for an answer throughout the process of attempting to mend a broken heart. Doug talks about the things he did as an ex-husband most do not do to make things easier on all parties involved.
He gets real specific about the lessons he learned and the one thing that would open the gates to redeeming himself and restoring his life back to normal. This is a powerful episode for anyone going through separation or divorce.

FAVORITE QUOTE:
“Parents always say, “I want to give my kids the things I never had,” and typically it’s not about the material things. I want to give my kids that mindset I never had, I want to give the discipline I never had, and the structure I never had.”
