Tired of check-ins that change nothing? Rethink accountability as a posture of growth, not a shame report.
Most guys treat accountability like a shame-based check-in: “Did you look at porn this week?” The problem? Shame can’t fuel long-term recovery—it only drives you back into isolation. In this episode, Michael and Nick reframe accountability as a posture of ownership and growth, not just a software report or weekly interrogation.
We unpack why shame-based motivation fails, what real accountability looks like, and how to start inviting others into your journey in a way that builds honesty, safety, and lasting change.
