The Myth Of The Self-Made Man - Ep. 053

Episode Summary

You’ve heard the story: the lone wolf, the self-made man, the sigma male who doesn’t need anyone. It’s a lie. In this episode, I break down the myth of radical self-reliance and why real masculine growth doesn’t happen in isolation.

Episode Notes

No man is truly self-made.

You were shaped by your parents, your friends, your pain, your past.
Even the things you think you did on your own were built on a foundation someone else helped lay.

In this episode, I break down the myth of the self-made man and explain why isolation is the enemy of real growth.
We cover the danger of always running from your reflection, the value of staying in hard relationships, and why the mirror of brotherhood is what actually refines you.

Masculine maturity doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
It happens when you stop hiding, stop performing, and face the truth with other men beside you.

If you’ve been doing life alone—or you’ve been trying to "figure it all out" before you show up—this episode is for you.
