What ACTUALLY Matters Before You Have Kids.

What ACTUALLY Matters Before You Have Kids.

In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question a lot of young couples quietly wrestle with: When is the “right” time to have kids? In a world where financial pressure, career expectations, and fear of instability shape so many decisions, they explore the tension between wanting to feel fully prepared and realizing that life rarely unfolds in a perfect order. This conversation is not about giving a universal timeline, but about helping people think more clearly about priorities, sacrifice, trust, and the kind of life they are actually trying to build. Rather than reducing the conversation to finances alone, Zach and Jake dig into the deeper questions underneath it all. They discuss why many people desire a more traditional family life today, why that lifestyle often requires living differently than the majority, and how fear can quietly disguise itself as “waiting until everything is perfect.” They also explore the relationship between leadership, value creation, financial stability, and family responsibility, arguing that the real goal is not simply making money, but becoming the kind of person who can lead, solve problems, serve others well, and create a stable environment for a family over time. Through the lens of Move Right, the episode challenges listeners to stop obsessing only over income and instead focus on developing the skills, character, leadership, and trust required to build a meaningful life. Zach and Jake also wrestle honestly with tradeoffs—how some people delay kids for financial freedom, others have kids early and struggle financially, and why there is rarely a perfectly frictionless path. This is a conversation for couples trying to think wisely about family, provision, timing, and what it really means to prepare for the future.

Top AI CEOs Just Disagreed About Your Job.

In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question that affects nearly every area of life: What is real confidence actually built on? In a culture that often treats confidence as loudness, self-promotion, or pretending to have no fear, they explore a very different perspective. This conversation is about why many people chase external validation while still feeling insecure internally, and how true confidence is formed through identity, competence, experience, and trust in God rather than performance alone. Instead of framing confidence as something a person simply “decides” to have, Zach and Jake break down how confidence is usually built slowly through preparation, integrity, repeated action, and learning to keep commitments over time. They also discuss the tension between humility and confidence, why insecurity often leads to comparison and overcompensation, and how rooted confidence allows a person to move through life with steadiness instead of constantly needing approval from others. Through the lens of Move Right, the conversation challenges listeners to rethink where they are searching for worth and whether their confidence is dependent on outcomes, opinions, appearance, status, or something deeper. This episode is for men who want to become more grounded, more secure, and more capable without falling into pride, arrogance, or performative masculinity.

Stop Focusing On The Results (Do This Instead)

In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake explore a question that sits underneath almost every area of life: What are your roots actually planted in? In a culture that constantly pushes speed, comparison, image, and surface-level success, they talk about why so many people feel spiritually exhausted, emotionally unstable, or disconnected from real peace even while chasing good things on the outside. This conversation is about what truly sustains a person when pressure, suffering, uncertainty, and temptation inevitably come. Rather than focusing only on external behavior, Zach and Jake dig into the deeper issue of formation—what shapes a man over time, what he meditates on, what influences him, and where he looks for life. Drawing heavily from biblical imagery around rootedness, they discuss how shallow roots lead to instability, while deep roots create resilience, fruitfulness, peace, and clarity even in difficult seasons. They also wrestle with the difference between striving and abiding, and why many people are trying to produce externally without first being deeply grounded internally. Through the lens of Move Right, the episode challenges listeners to think seriously about what they are feeding their minds, where they are seeking identity, and whether their life is being built on something deep enough to last. This is a conversation for people who want more than surface-level productivity or temporary motivation and are looking for a more rooted, durable, and meaningful way to live.

Industrial Psychologist: The Trait You Think Is a Flaw Is Probably Your Edge

In this episode of Move Right, Zach sits down with Dr. Jack Skeen for a conversation about identity, greatness, and one of the most important questions a person can ask: Why do you get out of bed in the morning? Starting from Jack’s work helping leaders find clarity around their path, the conversation challenges the labels many people have carried for years—things like “too intense,” “too sensitive,” “compulsive,” or “ADHD”—and asks whether those traits may actually be pointing toward a person’s unique design instead of just a problem to manage. This conversation goes far beyond career advice. Zach and Jack explore why so many people end up living like “plow horses,” trapped in responsibility, performance, and other people’s expectations, while feeling disconnected from what actually makes them come alive. They talk about the difference between being shaped by labels versus discovering greatness, why many people answer life’s biggest questions in the wrong order, and how fear of what others think can keep a person from ever stepping into the life they were made for. They also get into Jack’s belief that what culture often calls a disorder may sometimes reveal both a person’s greatest risk and their greatest gift. Through the lens of Move Right, this episode is about learning to see the breadcrumbs of calling, paying attention to what makes you feel most alive, and recognizing that real greatness is often found in the very place other people told you to tone down, suppress, or fix. This is a conversation for anyone who feels stuck in the wrong lane, senses there is more in them, or wants to understand how identity, purpose, and contribution connect in a deeper way.

Additional Discussion Topics: * Why many people live by labels they never chose * How to tell the difference between a burden and a calling * Why greatness often hides inside what looks “wrong” on the surface * The danger of living as a “good boy” or “good girl” for too long * Why caring too much about what others think keeps people stuck * How to look for breadcrumbs that point toward purpose * The difference between being a plow horse and being a reservoir * Why waking up a person’s greatness can transform a life or a company

He's Not Using His College Degree.

In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question more people are asking right now: If you got a college degree and are not directly using it, was it all a waste? Starting from Jake’s own experience of studying electrical engineering and now moving in a very different direction, they unpack the pressure many people feel when family, culture, or employers treat a degree like it only matters if it leads to one specific job. This conversation goes deeper than whether college is “good” or “bad.” Zach and Jake challenge the idea that a degree is just a piece of paper or a magic ticket to stability, and instead ask a better question: What did the degree actually train you to do? They explore how a degree may represent ways of thinking, solving problems, and creating value that still matter even if someone never works in the exact field they studied. They also wrestle with whether college is still worth the cost today, especially in a world where technology is moving fast and many practical skills can now be learned outside traditional institutions. Through the lens of Move Right, they argue that the real issue is not simply whether someone is using their degree, but whether they are learning how to think, how to create value, and how to apply their gifts in a changing marketplace. This episode is for people questioning their path, parents thinking about what to encourage their kids toward, and anyone wondering whether the “normal” route is still producing the kind of outcomes they actually want.
