Episode 17 | The Man in the Mirror

Most men live their entire lives as strangers to themselves. Teachers, mechanics, executives, contractors, fathers, men who've mastered their craft but never learned to be present to their own hearts.

In this episode, discover why self-awareness is the foundation of every other strength you'll develop, the unspoken cost of emotional avoidance, and how even spiritual performance can become a barrier to authentic transformation.

Jason shares a vulnerable story about becoming an expert at working for God while avoiding the very transformation he was called to embody, plus introduces the DAWN method for connecting with your inner world and the H.E.A.R.T.S. framework - a daily practice for emotional awareness.

For men who've built external success but feel empty inside. Men ready to stop performing strength and start forging it.

Next: What Is Emotional Training - reframing emotional work as strength training.

The degree to which you're aware of yourself determines the degree to which you can be present with others.

Shape the heart. Forge the man.
