I explore what it truly means to build self-worth as a man in a world that often tells us we’re not enough. Drawing from Nietzsche’s philosophy, I unpack how struggle, suffering, and the act of becoming shape our sense of value. This isn’t about chasing external validation or perfection - it’s about forging yourself into someone you respect. Join me as I share personal insights, lessons from fatherhood, and why facing life’s fire might be the path to authentic self-worth.
