Join us as Vince Del Monte courageously shares his own story of hitting rock bottom—a dream home, thriving business, and picture-perfect life shattered by brokenness, emotional rejection, and loss. If you’re searching for peace, meaning, and reconciliation in the midst of pressure, THIS episode will hit home.

What You’ll Discover in This Conversation:

• The dark side of winning at work—real stories of men who sacrifice family for hustle, and the devastating wake-up calls that follow 
• Vince Del Monte’s fight for his marriage: What ultimate rejection taught him about masculine identity, control, and the power of humility 
• How performance-driven living triggers anxiety, emotional instability, and relational breakdown even in men with the “perfect life” 
• Why being a provider isn’t enough—and the dangerous myth that success at any cost means love at home 
• The journey from shame and self-medication to true vulnerability: practical steps to reconnect with God, yourself, and the people who matter most 
• Why men avoid the “mirror”—and how facing the hardest truths unlocks authentic healing, freedom, and real strength 
• Building a business (and life) that SERVES you, not consumes you—Vince’s blueprint for sustainable success and fulfillment 
• What the parable of the talents really means for multiplication, faithfulness, and finding purpose beyond money or status 
• The critical importance of rest, surrender, and rooting your identity in Christ—not your achievements (includes a Gospel invitation for men ready to find hope)

This isn’t just another motivational talk—it’s an honest map for every man ready to break cycles of isolation, reclaim lost relationships, and build a legacy that actually lasts.
