Failures: The Podcast

Dream Killers: Why Most Men Quietly Quit on Their Dreams


Listen Later

Most men don’t quit on their dreams because they failed.
 They quit because life got comfortable… and the people around them meant well.

In this episode of Failures, Rich and Justin break down the idea of well-intended dream killers — the family, friends, and voices that slowly push you toward safety, stability, and “being realistic.”

We talk about:

  • Why dreams rarely die from failure — and almost always die from comfort
  • How quiet quitting happens without you even noticing
  • The danger of “be realistic” advice
  • Why most men dread their commute but never talk about it
  • How adult responsibilities, fear, and outside opinions slowly erase ambition
  • When realism is necessary — and when it’s just settling

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, unmotivated, or haunted by the thought that they were meant for more — but life got in the way.

You didn’t give up.
 You slowly let go.

🎙 Failures is a raw, no-fluff podcast about the mistakes, setbacks, and uncomfortable truths that shape strong men.
