Fighting Against the Fear of Failure
03/12/23 • 49 min
In this episode the guys have a conversation about their struggle to harness two very powerful forces Fear and Failure. They discuss how when these two forces couple together, then they can paralyze us. Or worse yet they can cause us to take a defensive approach, rather than an offensive approach to things in our lives. Both Acie and Steve are transparent about times that they find themselves trying not to fail rather than trying to succeed.

Wide Awake and Dreaming
Episode 12 is all about dreaming big. No matter where you are in life, the guys are encouraging you to keep dreaming. They discuss what it looks like to have things in your mind that are bigger than plans and goals. Things that you can't know if they will ever really happen, but you plan, train and live your life as though they will. They talk about the sacrifice and effort that it takes to achieve big things and the depth of character that the journey brings. A little longer episode, but worth a listen.

Trying to Unmask Masculinity
In episode 14 Acie and Steve have a conversation about masculinity. This is obviously a very big topic for a sub one hour podcast. The guys recognize this and do a sort of flyby of the topic for now. They discuss the huge swing of opinions and mixed messages in popular culture about what a real man should look and act like. Both Acie and Steve share glimpses of what has shaped their views on the subject, and how they have stayed the course in this world of ever-changing messages, and popular figures peddling their own truths about manhood.
