Brian’s new book, __The Five Marks of a Man Devotional: 60 Days to a Powerful Life__ is live today! Born from years of study and practice, this book is designed to help men of all ages, from 13 to 103, develop lives of courageous manhood. How? By putting the marks into action until they become second nature. 

For the next five days, Brian will be sharing entries from the new book. If you like what you hear, you can pick up your own copy on [Amazon](https://a.co/d/b5roVWF), or wherever you purchase books. 

Today, he covers __Mark 1: Men Have a Vision__… and every vision requires you to move. 

The average age of retirement is 64, while the average age of death isn’t till 82. What are you going to do with your 18 years? No matter how old you are, the answer to the question starts today. Most men work to reach retirement without a goal of how to spend it—leaving the majority of them lonely, depressed and without purpose. That’s not Dale Tesmond. A former CEO and corporate storyteller, Dale spent his working years helping brands develop their stories. The lessons he learned then have turned his retirement years into the most fulfilling of his life. Whether you’re just starting your career, or you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, the choices you make today will determine whether you thrive, or flounder, in your retirement years. Time to make some aggressive moves.

One of the top episodes in the history of __The Aggressive Life,__ re-released for the first time with video. A priest in the diocese of Indianapolis, Father Vincent Lampert spent decades as an exorcist—and has the stories to back it up. From his hands-on training in Rome, to real encounters with demons and possessed individuals, Father Lampert pulls back the curtain on the spirit realm, exposing a reality many people are quick to ignore. A man of deep wisdom, experience, and joy, this conversation is just as resonant today as it was when it was first recorded in 2023.
