In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, Coach Yeadon and I broke down a real-life weekend story that reveals what true recovery looks like when no one's watching. A simple guys' trip turns into a masterclass on discipline, relapse, and what it means to "return to the path."

Coach Yeadon opens up about going away with friends—once a guaranteed recipe for relapse—and how, through systems, structure, and brotherhood, he faced temptation without falling. The conversation dives deep into why recovery isn't about perfection; it's about returning. They discuss what happens when we drop our habits, why systems matter more than willpower, and how to rebuild after a slip without shame or self-destruction.

You'll learn why every man's success or struggle comes down to the system he's running, how to recognize when pressure finds the weak spot in your framework, and what it takes to build one that lasts. This episode is a grounded, honest look at masculine discipline, accountability, and the vow every free man must live by: "If I stray from the path, I vow to return."
