What happens when a man is winning professionally but slowly losing connection at home? In this episode of the Relentless Goal Achievers Podcast, Eric Konovalov sits down with Mitchell Osmond, leadership coach and host of the Dad Nation Podcast, to explore the hidden cost of success when identity becomes tied solely to career performance. Mitchell shares the two defining moments that changed the trajectory of his life—a fight and a funeral—and how they forced him to confront the gap between who he was and the man he wanted to become. Together, they unpack practical frameworks like The Iron Five and The Eulogy Exercise, tools designed to help high-performing men rebuild clarity, accountability, and leadership at home without abandoning ambition. This conversation is a powerful reminder that real success isn’t just measured by income or titles—it’s reflected in your marriage, health, and the way you show up for the people who matter most.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why high-performing men often struggle most in their marriages
How career success can quietly erode connection at home
The identity trap many entrepreneurs and leaders fall into
What causes relationships to drift into “roommate mode”
How pressure exposes leadership gaps rather than creating them
Key Frameworks & Concepts:
The Iron Five
A personal inner circle of mentors and peers who provide accountability across marriage, health, finances, and leadership.
