Listen Later

In the second half of this conversation, Danny Silk shares the seven “dragons,” or fears, that all men must slay. From confronting self-doubt to navigating competition among other men, Danny explores what holds most men back and how you can take immediate action. Plus, you’ll discover the importance of community and brotherhood in your journey to becoming a dragon slayer. 

  Key Takeaways

 

  • Every man must confront these seven fears: God, himself, women, men, nature, machine, and provision. 
  • If you don't set your heart to serve your wife, you will set your heart to conquer her and be the winner. 
  • Men bond through doing and adventure and through risk.
  • Your role as a man is to think ahead and bring benefit to everyone you’re leading. 
  • Fatherlessness comes from the breakdown of brotherhood.

  Key Quotes

 

  • 14:49 - "Quit putting it off because you don't want to feel stupid. You already look stupid. So go do something about it. Be the man. There's that end of it as well. And then there's, in the middle of it, which is get out there and take some risks. Get out there and learn some new skills, find some guys that love to work on that stuff and learn from them."
  • 18:14 - "You really are looking down the road and you're leading, so people are following that. And in that is your responsibility to bring benefit to everybody on the journey with you. That's your role as a man, is to think ahead and to build benefit for for your family, for your legacy. I'm thinking generationally, I'm not just thinking momentarily. I'm not living paycheck to paycheck. I'm living generation to generation. So, then as a provider, you had better open up your clarity of where you're headed and who's going to be benefiting for you ever being on this planet."
