Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast. As always, thank you for your continued support of each episode. In this episode, we sat down with my two good friends from The Journey Podcast, John Scafiddi and Zach Cummings. We examine in depth the conversations men rarely have out loud — fear of vulnerability, intimacy, commitment, and what it actually means to love and be loved.We talk about why men pull away when things get real, why giving your all feels terrifying, and how ego, fear, and past wounds quietly sabotage relationships. From emotional intimacy versus physical intimacy to why modern dating feels broken, this conversation explores the truth about love that most people don’t realize until it’s too late.This isn’t surface-level dating advice.It’s an honest conversation about masculinity, accountability, values, and what real love actually requires.If you’re a man trying to understand yourself better — or someone trying to understand the men in your life — this episode is for you.Timestamps:00:00 – If Your Life Were a Movie… What Would the Audience Say?02:05 – The Leader Who Always Puts Himself Last04:18 – Why We Avoid Doing What We Know We Should06:45 – Fear of Giving Your All (And Still Failing)09:10 – Succeeding & Failing in Public vs Private11:30 – Nobody Cares About Your Failures (Except You)13:40 – Do Men & Women Want Different Things in Relationships?15:55 – Masculine vs Feminine Energy Explained18:45 – Why Equality in Relationships Is Complicated22:05 – When Men Feel Emasculated24:55 – Why Men Are Afraid to Need Someone27:10 – Men Crave Intimacy (But Never Say It)30:40 – Sex vs Emotional Intimacy for Men33:45 – When a Man Truly Opens Up to a Woman35:40 – Do Shared Values Matter More Than Chemistry?38:30 – Why Relationships Fail Even When There’s Love40:45 – What Is Love, Really?42:50 – Love Is Action, Not a Feeling45:15 – Why Consistency Matters More Than Passion48:40 – Is Modern Dating Broken?52:10 – Too Many Options Ruined Relationships54:45 – Why People Self-Sabotage Love56:25 – Accountability vs “I’m Just a Girl” Culture59:15 – The Danger of Outsiders in Your Relationship1:05:55 – One Relationship Lesson We Wish We Knew Earlier1:07:40 – You Must Love Yourself First
