f you’re an introverted business owner who’s secretly been playing small… this is the wake-up call.

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Komodina a powerhouse in the space of nervous system safety, masculine leadership, and energetic presence to unpack what’s really keeping men stuck.

We dive deep into how trauma and Tall Poppy Syndrome stop you from showing up online, crush your confidence in sales, and make you second-guess every move… even though deep down you know you’re capable of so much more.

This conversation will hit hard if:
• You keep downplaying yourself in rooms
• You say “haha” at the end of texts to not be too much
• You’re secretly scared of success and being seen
• You feel like you’re always on edge or just “managing energy”

We get raw about the costs of shrinking, and the nervous system tools to fix it fast — without needing more strategy or grind.

If you’re done dimming your light and you’re ready to become magnetic as f**,* this one’s for you.
