182: LIVE Q&A Series: How to Build Powerful Friendships // Rebuilding Trust & Your Self-Worth


Listen Later

Hey guys, welcome back to the Brave Co. podcast! This week, I’m excited to share with you an emotional and empowering conversation. We dove deep into some really vulnerable topics about overcoming fears of rejection and how to connect deeply with other men calling in LIVE in studio. Whether it’s facing the challenges of reaching out to new friends or navigating emotional pain from past experiences, this episode is a game-changer if you’ve been struggling with true connection in your life.

We also explored how to heal unresolved pain, especially from past mentors or leaders. I had a powerful conversation with a listener who shared how the loss of his mentor left a hole in his life that’s been tough to fill. Through the conversation, I broke down how to process this grief and pain and gave him practical tools to move forward. I really want to emphasize that healing isn’t linear, but there are steps you can take to rebuild your life and relationships with God’s help.

Lastly, we talked about the importance of finding purpose and connection even when things feel uncertain. I share how you can grow in your current role, learn through the struggles, and ultimately align your job and passions with your purpose in life. I hope this episode inspires you to take action—whether that’s reaching out to a guy you admire, confronting past pain, or just showing up for your family. Tune in and stay brave!
