You did everything “right.” Provided. Performed. Played the part.
But now you’re successful, respected—and empty.
This episode exposes the real reason high-performing men crack:
You didn’t crash. You complied. You betrayed yourself one small compromise at a time.
We’ll dive into:
– Why “being the good man” is death by a 1000 cuts
– How to stop performing for approval and start leading with purpose
– Why choosing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s growth
If you’re tired of being loyal to the version of you that keeps losing,
This is your wake-up call.
No fluff. No therapy-speak.
Just raw truth, masculine power, and the fire to reclaim your edge.
Let’s go.
