Keep leading."

Relevant to Everyone

"This podcast is awesome! Anyone at any point in their marriage can learn from this podcast. Many of the points and principles discussed can be applied weather you seek to build yourself back up or to Evolve your current marriage to the next level. Eric has a way of breaking down the details and spoon feeding them to you in a way that it can be easily processed and applied. Every episode has a juicy nugget that can be brought back and applied. Or even just get you thinking at a much higher level about how you currently show up for yourself. Also nice to have the feminine perspective when his wife Kate jumps on! Must Listen!"

HEY THERE!

I'M ERIC MACDOUGALL

and I specialize in helping growth-minded couples turn their marriages into something really special. Whether your partner's on board or you want to take the lead in your marriage, I'm here to help.

Now, let’s talk about something we all face in long-term marriage—it’s called the "Roommate Stalemate."

It sounds clinical, but it’s really just that phase where you might feel more like roommates than romantic partners. Realizing this is happening is actually your first big step toward making things better.

It’s totally normal to feel a bit disconnected sometimes. This doesn't mean there’s something wrong with you or your partner.

Most likely, you just need a few key insights and skills to bring back that deeper intimacy and joy.

That's what happened in my own story. A while back, my wife, Kate, and I, though successful in so many areas of our lives, started feeling like we were just co-existing. I was so wrapped up in my work that I missed the signs she was unhappy.

Until one day, she told me, "I love you, but I’m not IN love with you."

That hit me hard.

That was the moment I knew I had to change, or I might lose her. I called it "The Start of the Solution."

I dove into learning everything I could about making a marriage thrive. I read books, listened to podcasts, joined groups, and got some coaching—I really put in the work.

And, you know what? It made a huge difference. It didn’t just change me; it changed how Kate and I connected.

Things felt real again, like we were finally moving forward together.

So, if you’re feeling stuck or want to make sure your marriage is as amazing as it can be, let’s talk.

I’ve been there, and I’ve come out the other side. I’m here to help you do the same.

SUCCESS STORIES

- Pete B

"Just before I started working with Eric, my wife told me that she didn't want to have sex with me because she was "disgusted" by me. I worked hard at implementing everything I learned with the support of Eric and the rest of the guys in the group and in 4 weeks my wife is flirting again, open, and at ease in our relationship and we're back to having sex!"

- Michael M

"Eric was able to help me identify what I wanted most out of my marriage and identified strategies that allowed me to work with my wife towards the desired outcome. He has continued to push me to become the best version of myself for my wife, my family, and my community. To say that he has dramatically improved my marriage and my life would be an understatement. I can't thank him enough for the positive impact he has had and I am excited to continue to work towards the ultimate marriage that I have envisioned."

- Paul H

"This program absolutely transformed me on a level that I hadn't thought possible. Not only did Eric's expertise and guidance - along with the shared experiences of the rest of the cohort - change something inside me that I thought wasn't possible. It changed the script in my head to match that of my heart. Through that, I've taken massive strides both personally and intimately with my wife. Cannot recommend this enough."

- Marcus R

"Eric's coaching embodies encouragement! His style pushes you to bring your best to your marriage! If you are looking to level up intimacy and communication, Eric will give you the tools to grow and the steps to implement! I look forward to every session, because I know I'll have a gem that is actionable the moment I walk away."

- Ben C

"Working with Eric was a breath of fresh air. You can really sense his empathetic mindset that is a result of having walked through a lot of his own crucibles in the past. The questions that he asked me were not only thought-provoking but relevant as well. Whether it was an hour-long conversation or a quick check-in, I always took something away that helped me. I really appreciate his approach to helping men, which seems more intuitive and genuine than it does clinical and scripted."

- Mike S

"My wife was at her wit's end with our marriage. I was down to my last chance before she was going to separate from me. We tried couples therapy twice. But it wasn't until I started working with Eric that I finally found some concrete actions I could take to make our marriage great again. I cannot thank Eric enough. If you're reading this, don't waste time looking around any longer. Start working with Eric ASAP. You will wish you had started sooner."

- Kevin G

“Eric has a unique ability to ask the right questions and lead you to YOUR truth. Prior to working together my marriage was at the mercy of my emotions. Up one minute, down the next, like a tug boat in the waves of a storm. After working with him, I have become the lighthouse. Steadfast, confident + strong. I am the rock for my wife and family. Life has never been better.”

- Jordan M

"After working with Eric, I realized the narrative I was making up about my marriage was preventing me and my wife from connecting emotionally and sexually. Now my marriage has reached new peaks I never thought possible, and I have the skills to create a deeper connection with my wife whenever I want. My wife and I are also learning new ways to connect sexually, and I’m confident the best years of our marriage are yet to come."

- Mischa T

"Before I joined Eric’s Mastermind, I thought my marriage was over after 22 years. My wife and I were not getting on very well and I felt miserable and lonely. I’m pretty sure we were both opting out of our relationship. I joined the mastermind thinking it would confirm to me that my marriage was over. I could not have been more wrong. Within the first week, I had a huge paradigm shift. I started really listening to my wife and giving her my full attention. To my huge surprise and both our delight we started reconnecting and now after only a few weeks, our relationship is getting stronger all the time. I consider it an incredible value as Eric has helped me save my marriage. I can’t put a price on that!!"
