In this Friday rant, I talk about the people who matter when the highlight reel stops.I dig into why letting people see us at our lowest is the doorway to real support, love, and freedom—and how hiding behind work, hustle, or substances just keeps us stuck.
Key Highlights:
- The mask vs. the man: Social media shows the best; real life is who’s beside you at your worst.
- Lonely upgrade: When you outgrow old circles (like I did getting sober), there’s a gap season—don’t confuse it with failure.
- Men don’t have to “soldier on”: Bottling everything up kills connection; brotherhood starts when we tell the truth.
- Work as a quiet addiction: Overtraining, overworking, over-“optimizing” can be the most socially rewarded escape.
- Power flip: When I share the ugliest parts, shame loses leverage—and I get real help.
- Gym & groups changed me: Having driven men I can be honest with has opened a whole new world of support.
At your worst, you can become your best—if you let someone in. Trade the mask for brotherhood, and watch the shame lose its power. If this hit home, share it with a friend who needs the nudge.
