In this solo episode, I explore a question most men never slow down enough to ask:

Where does your motivation actually come from?

This isn’t another conversation about hustle, discipline, or “working harder.”

It’s about understanding why you’re driven in the first place — and whether the life you’re building is truly aligned, or just being performed.

I talk about:

➡️ Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation

➡️ How social media shapes male ambition

➡️ Why reflection often comes during life’s hardest periods

➡️ The emotional layer missing in men’s self-improvement

➡️ Why discomfort can accelerate growth

➡️ Asking better questions instead of applying more pressure

This episode is for men who are disciplined, driven, and still feel like something is slightly off — and are brave enough to look underneath the surface.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

👉 Would I still want this if nobody was watching?

👉 Why does life feel harder than it should right now?

👉 Am I building this for me, or for validation?This conversation is for you.

🎙️ Listen, reflect, and take what’s useful.
