Apple: highvaluemanproject.com/apple Spotify: highvaluemanproject.com/spotifyFind Your Voice. Dont Be Nice, Be Respected feat. Danny M GoldbergJonnie Jensen - High Value Man Project2026-09-24 | You were raised to be the nice guy. Nice gets you taken advantage of at work, at home and by your own kids. This isn't about being an arsehole. It's about being clear enough that people know you could be one.
Danny M Goldberg has spent seventeen years running GoldSRD, training Fortune 500 companies and government agencies on everything from leadership to conflict management. By his own account he was also a people pleaser for most of his life. His parents, immigrants from Poland and Egypt, raised him on the rule that being nice earns respect. The bullies at school taught him otherwise, and it took a divorce, full-time single fatherhood and a girlfriend who calls him the most difficult man she's ever dated to finally learn to say no.
That became his book, A Little Bit of A$$hole: a practical guide to setting boundaries, having difficult conversations and getting your voice back without turning into someone you don't like.
In this episode Jonnie and Danny talk about divorce, why Danny tells people to say congratulations rather than sorry, and the morning after his wife left, when he realised he'd been handed a new lease on life. They get into Danny's asshole spectrum, why nice men don't avoid the row but postpone it until it goes nuclear, and why explaining your no gives away more power than any other habit.
Jonnie shares how he approached dating after his own divorce with no real compromise, and why the question that changed everything was "would you like to come up to this bar with me?" They finish on toxic masculinity, why neither of them buys the phrase, and how Danny tests new business ideas with his toe in the water rather than betting the house.
It ends with a challenge anyone can start today: 24 hours without apologising for taking up space.

I think that's completely upside down, and here's why.
FORGE starts in October. Eight weeks, small group, sixteen men, finished before December even starts: live.highvaluemanproject.com/forge
January is the worst set of conditions in the calendar to start anything. Skint, dark, tired, no routine, two weeks of nothing behind you. You make yourself a promise in that state and then wonder why it's gone by February.
September hands you the opposite. You're rested, and the structure arrives on its own when the kids go back. And this run has the one thing a resolution can never have: a deadline. Christmas is a real date, and on the 20th of December you'll know exactly whether you did the thing.
I'll be honest, this time of year does my head in. I'm 52 and I still wrestle with it every September.
In this episode I share:
Why the pressure you feel about a busy autumn is anticipated, not real The behavioural tell that you've already started drifting, and it isn't a feeling Fear as false evidence appearing real, from my firewalking instructor training Why a row at home is almost never about what the other person is doing The four moves that turn fourteen weeks into something you can actually finish And the conversation I had with a man in his early fifties whose wife had just asked for a divorce
What are you going to have done by the 20th of December? Put it in the comments, I read every one.
And if you'd rather not do these fourteen weeks on your own, FORGE starts in October. Eight weeks, sixteen men, finished before December starts:

You saved for it. You booked it. You told everyone it was going to be brilliant. That pressure is exactly the problem. You turn up with a picture in your head of how it has to go, and the moment reality does not match the picture, somebody gets it in the neck. Usually her.
I have done it. Rows with my ex-wife, with my kids, with girlfriends, on holidays going back years. Looking back I am embarrassed about how I let it happen.
I am better at it now. I have just come back from ten days in France with my two teenagers and a mate each, and it was the best one yet.

Oliver Anwar is an executive health coach working with entrepreneurs and senior executives around the world, based in Dubai. Eight years ago he was broke and filling vending machines in central London at 4am. He builds his coaching around blood work rather than the scales, and he is blunt about what men are getting wrong before they reach for TRT or a weight loss jab. He and Jonnie get into the crisis that arrives at 40 to 45, why identity beats discipline, and what a man can actually do about it starting tomorrow.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The men in this conversation are not unwell. They are successful, capable, and quietly running on a baseline nobody has ever measured. The bill for that lands somewhere between 40 and 50, usually in a doctor's room, and by then the options are worse and the price is higher. Nothing in this episode takes more than ten minutes a day to start.

Dr Lee Baucom has spent thirty years working with couples. He's the author of Save the Marriage, a programme Jonnie bought during his own divorce ten years ago and still credits today.
This conversation isn't about marriages in crisis. It's about the far more common thing: the relationship that isn't bad, just flat. The love is still there. The spark, the intimacy and the excitement of being around each other have gone quiet, and both people have quietly agreed to call that normal.
Lee explains the mechanism. Couples build a huge connection, decide it's sorted, and turn their energy to the career, the kids, the mortgage, telling themselves they'll get back to us later. That's the pause button. He names the arc that follows, from disinterest to disregard to disrespect to disappointment to dislike to disdain, and most men can find themselves on it within seconds.
Then the useful half: what one man can do about it on his own, without his partner agreeing to anything first.

Too many men walk out of a marriage and spend the next few years carrying it with them.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Divorce doesn't take men down. The way men respond to divorce takes them down. There's a route through this that's faster, cleaner, and results in a better man on the other side. This episode is that route.

He built a CQC outstanding-rated care company from the ground up with his mum, sold it when his health forced his hand, and is now running a building surveying business with a partner he met at the gym.
He's not famous. He hasn't written a book. He's just a business-owning dad who let his drive take him to the edge, and had the sense to step back before it took him over.
His blood pressure was sitting at 210 daily. He had a 12-minute seizure on a caravan park holiday and went back to work the next day. The thing that finally made him stop was his eight-year-old son asking: why is daddy always asleep?
This is a conversation about drive, burnout, what it costs, and what the other side looks like.

The damage isn't in the words, it's the intent behind them. Saying 'man up' isn't about being tough; it's about becoming the man you're meant to be, the one who believes in himself and can take on the world. From not having a voice and living each day quietly frustated that could be more. You could be chasing the dream you actually want. That is the purpose and fulfillment that many men are missing today.
#Manhood #Masculinity #PersonalGrowth #SelfBelief #mensmentalhealthMan Up: Its Not An Attack #shortsJonnie Jensen - High Value Man Project2026-06-26 | For the dads who feel life's gotten harder. 'Man up' can be a rallying cry, not a weapon. How do we truly step up and embrace life?
#ManUp #DadLife #Motivation #PersonalGrowthMan Up: The Three-Step Process to Finding Your PurposeJonnie Jensen - High Value Man Project2026-06-23 | Man up. Two words that cause more arguments than almost anything else in men's spaces. But the impulse behind them, men reclaiming who they are and stepping into their power, is exactly right. The problem is Purpose. A lack of purpose drags a man down and nobody tells you how to find it.
In this episode, Jonnie Jensen breaks down the 3XC formula: the three-step system at the heart of the High Value Man Project that turns that rallying cry into something real.
The men this is built for aren't struggling. They're successful, capable, driven dads who are winning in one area of life and stuck in another. They've done everything right on paper. And something is still off. This episode names what that is and what to do about it.

The Jonnie Jensen Show is the podcast for business-owning and career-driven dads who want success at home as much as they have at work. New episodes every Tuesday.Fathers Day - Its Massive And Its MeaninglessJonnie Jensen - High Value Man Project2026-06-20 | Fathers Day - is it massively important or maybe dads don't need it. I think its its a bit of both to be honest.
A short Father's Day special from Jonnie Jensen, founder of the High Value Man Project.
For the dads who have their kids around them today. For the ones who won't. For the single dads, the ones in contact disputes, the ones whose teenagers have checked out for now. And for every man who's ever wondered whether what he's doing as a dad is actually enough.
Jonnie speaks directly to all of them. No framework, no formula. Just one dad talking honestly to others about what fatherhood really is, what to do when it's not going the way you want, and why the long game is always worth playing.

This week's guest, Colin Owensby, rebuilt his body, lost his brother three months later, and went on to model in Milan, double for Ashton Kutcher in Hollywood, finish an Ironman and a 100-mile ultra, and build a life he calls genuinely fulfilled.
This episode runs longer than usual but it was a story that just couldn't be cut short.
Not sure where your life is leaking energy, focus and drive? Take the free HVM Scorecard:
Jonnie and Colin get into rebuilding after tragedy, why grief is not the end of the story, the wisdom of children, what five years beside A-list actors taught Colin about excellence, and Colin's Map of Resilience: nine simple, mostly free tools for a fulfilled life.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Most men never face the question Colin faced at 15: can I come back from this? But every man hits chapters that end, identities that fall away, and moments that ask him to adapt or shut down. This episode is a masterclass in choosing to keep going, and a reminder that fulfilment is available whatever you are going through.

Discover your High Value Man score and see where you're leaking your energy, connection and joy:
52, two businesses, two teenage daughters, came through a divorce. And the way he describes where he's landed is the most honest description of this work I've heard from any client.
"It's not something you're reaching up for. It's not a position you're trying to get to. It's not a medal. It's just everything coming together."
He talks about better boundaries. Saying no without aggression. Knowing where the line is. Managing his life around his actual priorities instead of everyone else's.
And then the bit that says it all.
"Everything is good now. You didn't travel somewhere. It's just coming together. You sit back and think, this is pretty good. And it's not some testosterone masculine thing. Life is just good. You can deal with stuff. Shit still happens, but it doesn't have to be a catastrophe."
That's what 1:1 coaching through the High Value Man System for Living actually produces. Not a six pack and a Lamborghini. A man who's settled, steady, and dealing with life like an adult.

Two and a half businesses all running. Kids around more than ever. A social life he didn't used to have. And calmer than he's been in his life.
Meet Jimi Clarke. 52, two daughters, divorced, and getting more done than ever before.
Here's the part he can't explain.
Jimi spent his whole life head down. Super focused. Always hitting his goals but always paying for it somewhere else. He was convinced that giving time to anything other than work would set him back.
The opposite happened.
"Expanding your scope, spending time on other things, actually gives you more time. I get more done now than I did before. I still don't understand how it works but it does."
He also gives one of the most honest descriptions of what being a High Value Man actually means that I've heard from any client.
"It's not something you're reaching up for. It's not a medal. It's not some testosterone masculine thing. It's just everything coming together. Life is good."
This is what 1:1 coaching through the High Value Man System for Living produces. Not more grind. More life. And somehow, more output.

The instinct is to soldier through it alone. Jimi Clarke is here to tell you that's the wrong call.
52, two teenage daughters, two businesses, came through a divorce and out the other side with life put back together. A man who built his own businesses and his own teams, so he knows exactly what support is worth.
"There's no such thing as self-made. You can't do it on your own."
In this conversation Jimi is honest about where he was. Zero energy. Zero motivation. The point where you just want to quit everything and let them do whatever they want.
"Having the support mechanism in place so you're not expending more energy but you're still getting shit done. That's huge."
He's clear about what the real value was. The divorce was just one thing to get out of the way. The foundation underneath it is what actually matters, and that gets built one week at a time, until one day you notice you're handling things differently than you used to.
"It's a no-brainer. But it's difficult to say that upfront when it's chaos." This is what 1:1 coaching through the High Value Man System for Living looks like from the inside.

Two and a half businesses all working. Kids spending more time with him than ever. A social life he didn't have before. And 2026 the best year of his life.
This is where Jimi Clarke is today thanks to his High Value Man journey.
Three or four years ago he was running on high stress. Two businesses, two teenage daughters, facing a divorce, and doing it all on his own because that's what men do. Head down, grinding, convinced that focusing on anything other than work and kids would cost him.
In this conversation Jimi explains, better than I ever could, what the real work actually is.
"You go to bed on your own with your own thoughts. That's the bit that needs fixing. Not the divorce. Not the business. Not the kids. Just you, on your own."
Jimi started with 12 weeks Elite 1:1 coaching to embrace the High Value Man System for Living. He has continued for a number of years now, past the divorce and into continued business growth and personal success, with one particular result surprising him.
He expanded his life, slowed down, got social, started making music, and somehow started getting more done than ever.
"I get more done now than I did before. I don't know how it works but it does."
He also gives one of the most honest descriptions of what being a High Value Man actually means that I've heard from any client.
"It's not something you're reaching up for. It's not a medal. It's not some testosterone masculine thing. It's just everything coming together. Life is good."
And on whether a man should do this work at all, he's blunt. There's no such thing as self-made. You can't do it on your own. It's a no-brainer.
If you want results like these, here's what to do next.

New opportunities flooding in. Fitter and stronger. Three boys who now have the dad they've been looking for.
This is where Gav Farrant is today. And this is his High Value Man Project testimonial.
Eighteen months ago he was a widowed father of three at a low point. Two mental health breakdowns. A long term relationship he knew was wrong. And a gut feeling that something had to change.
In half an hour over a pint just before Christmas, one line changed everything.
"You don't trust yourself."
Nine months of therapy. Summed up in 30 seconds.
What followed was Elite 1:1 coaching through the High Value Man System for Living. Not theory. Not frameworks on a whiteboard.
A man doing the real work on himself. People pleasing. Learning that no is a shorter word than yes. Showing up as the father his three boys are watching and learning from. Letting go of the thing from his past that was quietly running everything.
The results speak for themselves.

We think we're doing everything right but something's off. So we blame everything outside ourselves. The problem is none of that is within your control.
The more you try to change it, the more stuck you become. This one is for any man who's been telling himself that if he just keeps going, it'll sort itself out. It wont!

Why are you knackered all the time. Why does your wife look at you like she's tolerating you. Why are your kids walking around you like you're the angry man in the corner. Why does fun feel like something other people are having.
This episode is for the man who can feel it slipping. The man, the dad, the husband he wanted to be. The one she fell in love with. The one he used to like seeing in the mirror.
There are five things you have to nail to come back from that. And they have to be done in the right order. This is the system Jonnie runs men through inside Accelerate and on the Winning At Home webinars this month. The same system that's pulled men back from the brink of divorce, burnout, and quietly losing it all.

ABOUT THE HIGH VALUE MAN PROJECT The High Value Man Project exists for business-owning and career-driven dads who are winning on paper but running on empty inside. Men who provide, show up, and hold it all together, but somewhere along the way lost themselves in the process.
We are not therapy. We are not a self-help brand. We are structure, action, brotherhood, and momentum for men who are ready to stop going through the motions and start leading again. In their work, their relationships, and their own life.
Founded by Jonnie Jensen, a coach, podcast host, and father who has been through divorce, burnout, breakdown, and the full rebuild.

This webinar is for business-owning and career-driven dads who feel like they're doing everything right but still watching the life they wanted slip through their fingers.
You work hard, you love your family, you thought it would work out great but your ....
marriage gets quieter. connection with the kids is strained. energy disappears. confidence starts to wobble.
And because we're men, we usually respond the same way. Work harder. Push more. Keep going.
Unfortunately, that's often the thing making it worse.
