Skip shares why building community amongst men with hobbies is important. As people get older, it is often times harder to build connections with people.

The example of basketball pops up where he describes how a lost in the playoffs had him working hard to be ready for the next season. You learn skills by grinding every single day. The consistency is always the hard part in any journey honestly. You can do it 🫡

Skip discusses how he showed up in dating (in the past and at points now) and how it leaked into other portions of his life. He struggled with staying present due to coping mechanisms he developed in his childhood. Unfortunately, those bad traits come up in the professional AND romantic realms. Rejecting others before they reject you was a common narrative. The hard part is trying to break that cycle.
