Summary

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I dive into a conversation most people are afraid to have out loud.

We start by breaking down the recent firing of University of Michigan head coach Sherone Moore and the ripple effect that happens when integrity slips. Not just in leadership or sports, but in life. We talk about how fast things can unravel when your actions and values stop lining up, and why integrity always catches up to you, one way or another.

From there, we transition into the core of the episode and it's a big one.

We tackle the taboo topic of losing physical attraction to your partner after they've let themselves go.

This is something so many people experience, but almost no one talks about honestly. We break down why this happens, how resentment quietly builds, and why pretending it's not an issue only makes things worse. We talk about personal responsibility, standards, and the difference between unconditional love and enabling unhealthy behavior.

We also get into the hard but necessary conversation around when and how to communicate this with your partner. How to approach it with honesty instead of cruelty. Leadership instead of criticism. And how attraction, effort, and self respect are deeply connected.

This episode isn't about shaming anyone. It's about truth. Growth. And having the courage to address things before they quietly destroy relationships.

If you're in a relationship, this is one you need to hear.
