Everything you think you know about what it means to be a “real man” might just be wrong. And here’s the thing this episode isn’t only for men. It’s for anyone who wants to really understand what goes on inside a man’s head and heart in this day and age.
In this raw and eye-opening conversation, Duncan opens up about a life-changing experience he had at a men’s retreat. It was a moment that completely broke down old beliefs and reshaped how he sees manhood, purpose, and personal growth.
We dive into what it truly means to be a good man in today’s world, how to let go of outdated stories, and the practical tools you can use to step into your highest potential. Duncan also shares the essential skills every man needs to build a values-driven, purpose-filled life.
What You’ll Take Away:
- The difference between living by values vs. living by discipline—and which one actually lasts.
- The biggest distractions holding both men and women back from their full potential.
- How your upbringing shapes your identity and how to break free from limiting patterns.
- Honest conversations about the stigmas—both positive and negative—that men face today.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
- Do I want to live with more clarity, purpose, and self-respect?
- Am I ready to question the stories society has told me about who I should be?
- Could I benefit from understanding the struggles and strengths of modern masculinity—even if I’m not a man?
If any of these hit home, this episode will give you the mindset shifts and practical steps to grow, no matter your gender or age.
