In this episode, Scott explores what men often do when they don’t feel like they’re enough: we perform and we numb. We work harder, achieve more, and carry the weight of having to figure it all out — and then, exhausted, we often escape through distraction, alcohol, screens, or endless busyness. Beneath both reactions is the same quiet pressure to prove ourselves. Scott unpacks how this cycle slowly erodes connection at home and invites dads into a better way — leading from security instead of striving, choosing presence over proving.
