Understanding Life’s Archetypes

In this episode, Tim and Steve talk about four powerful roles we all play at different times in life:

• The Hero – pushes through hard times with courage and purpose

• The Healer – helps others and brings comfort

• The Victim – feels stuck, powerless, or overwhelmed

• The Villain – acts out of pain, fear, or anger to protect themselves

They explain how we shift between these roles depending on what’s going on in our lives — and why it’s so important to notice when we’re slipping into the Victim or Villain. By staying connected to our values, we can choose to step into the Hero or Healer more often and live with purpose.

Takeaway:
Which role are you playing today — and is it helping you grow?

Avoid the corrosion of inaction: If we neglect our space, it can quickly become cluttered with negativity and stagnation — much like debris filling an empty room. The key is to keep moving and shaking things up! Whether it's going for a run, surrounding yourself with uplifting people, or simply trying something new, these actions can prevent your space from becoming unmovable and corroded. Remember, a flat soda loses its appeal, just like a stagnant life loses its vibrancy.

Introducing the Boomerang Theory — the idea that what you put out comes back to you. Tim shares a childhood story about learning to throw a boomerang and how it taught him the value of practice, patience, and consistency.

Whether it’s in faith, relationships, or personal growth, success takes steady effort — not just being a “weekend warrior.”

The love and energy you put in always comes back. Thanks for listening — and keep throwing your boomerang!

The 80/20 Rule for a Better Life is what Tim and Steve discuss on this podcast episode. It’s a new spin on the 80/20 Principle, also known as the Pareto Principle.

In this episode of Attack Life, Not Others, Tim and Steve explore the power of resilience and finding your “second wind,” inspired by the life and legacy of boxing icon George Foreman. From overcoming personal struggles to learning how adversity builds character, they reflect on the deeper meaning of strength — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Discover how Foreman’s transformation from heavyweight champ to humble role model offers timeless lessons on endurance, growth, gratitude, and giving back.

There’s a balance between chaos and order — in the universe and in our everyday lives. While the world around us can seem messy and unpredictable, we believe our purpose is to bring meaning and structure to it.

Tim and Steve explore the idea that being made in God's image means we’re meant to make a positive impact, even when things feel out of control. They also touch on the importance of accepting that we won’t always have all the answers.

We encourage you to find peace and purpose in the middle of life’s chaos.

Explore the stages of personal growth through the lens of martial arts belts. Tim and Steve share how each belt color represents a life lesson — reminding you to stay curious, keep growing, and embrace your purpose.

The Cost of Mediocrity VS The Price of Greatness

We explore the difference between mediocrity and greatness, emphasizing that while mediocrity may seem acceptable, it often leads to disappointment. As William Arthur Ward said, “The price of excellence is discipline; the cost of mediocrity is disappointment.”

Those searching for purpose must not only strive for greatness but also recognize the right moments to showcase it. Inspired by Unstoppable, the story of a one-legged wrestler who achieves success through discipline, Tim and Steve highlight the importance of timing in reaching one’s full potential.

Life is both a playground and a battleground — perspective shapes our growth. Challenges may put us at a disadvantage, but they also create opportunities to learn and improve.

Growth comes from discomfort, and true success is earned, not given. Patience is key — there are no shortcuts to mastery. Overcoming obstacles is what brings purpose and fulfillment.

All things in life — including faith, family, relationships, and careers — require eliminating casualness and embracing focus. Tim and Steve disuss how casualness may be fine for relaxation, but when it comes to what truly matters, we must be intentional.

A strong relationship, a fulfilling career, or a deep spiritual connection doesn’t thrive on half-hearted effort. Just as we dress formally for important events, we should approach our commitments with the same seriousness.

In a world full of distractions, staying focused on what serves our growth allows us to build discipline, purpose, and a meaningful life.

• Disconnecting from Devices – The importance of stepping away from screens to experience the real world and nature

• Physical Awareness – Engaging in real, tactile experiences, feeling the ground beneath you, and being present in your surroundings

• Strength Through Adversity – Pushing past challenges to develop resilience while also finding balance and flow in everyday life

• Awareness & Breath – The role of mindfulness, breath control, and staying present, similar to practices like yoga or meditation

• Real Human Connection – Encouragement to engage in authentic, face-to-face communication and meaningful interactions beyond digital distractions

Tim and Steve discuss insights from business guru Alex Hormozi. Believing you have plenty of time is false. First, tomorrow is never guaranteed. Second, tomorrow will arrive sooner than you think. Success requires hard work, discipline, and consistency.

Four key takeaways:

• Start early to get ahead

• Challenges are inevitable — expect and embrace them

• Improvement demands effort — there are no shortcuts

• Procrastination is dangerous — time waits for no one
