What Keeps You Up at Night episodes

  • Ep 6.28 Let's Agree to Disagree on This (pt. 2)

    This is another really full episode and it’s on the longer side but it’s really good. There’s not a dull moment. I’ve highlighted some points below. I’m talking more about the book, “Notes on Being a Man,” by Scott Galloway. The book looks at what many men are experiencing today through a lens that says, “It’s not your fault, but the world changed and no one gave you the software update, so here’s a book that might help.”

    I challenge some of the ideas and agree with others. That’s life, sometimes we see things the same way and other times we don’t. Depends on the lens you’re looking through. It’s a fun perspective, not a review of the book but I use the book as inspiration for this conversation.

    Here are some of my talking points:

    • Continuing the conversation sparked by Notes on Being a Man by Scott Galloway
      • Why “agree to disagree” often shuts down real communication
      • Observations about negotiation, male–female dynamics, and standing your ground while negotiating
      • Reflection on how men and women are both struggling in today’s changing social and economic landscape
      • Discussion of provider roles, expectations of men, and how culture shapes those expectations
      • Personal stories about money roles, upbringing, and relationship dynamics
      • Manners, etiquette, and how social media has shifted how we treat each other
      • The disappearance of community influence, including the role of aunties and uncles
      • How money stories influence confidence, dating, and identity, especially for young men
      • Competition between men and women versus collaboration
      • Reflection on Scott Galloway’s book as a father’s perspective and legacy message to younger men
      • Self-awareness, hindsight, and how his personal growth can become impact for others
    • Question of the Day
      • How did you learn your manners?

        Let's Agree to Disagree on This (Pt. 1)

        This episode is full, and if you’ve been having the male–female “agree to disagree” conversation, whether in your own head or with someone you saw online or actually in real life, this is a layered discussion.

        I bring it up because I’m currently reading Notes on Being a Man by Scott Galloway. From the title, you might expect a self-development or philosophical book, but to me it reads more like a memoir or autobiography. Whether I liked it or not isn’t the point. What matters is that it got me thinking, and that’s what stayed with me.

        The book looks at what many men are experiencing today through a lens that says, “It’s not your fault, but the world changed and no one gave you the software update, so here’s a book that might help.”

        In this episode, I focus less on reviewing the book and more on the thoughts it stirred up for me, breaking down some of the dynamics that got us here. The situation isn’t solely the fault of men or women. It’s a shared responsibility to move things forward in a healthier direction.

        Because the future we create depends on all of us, so we gotta these kids come behind us ready to either undo or sharpen what we’ve unconsciously evolved to.

        • Ep 6.25 - Up at 3am or 4am? Try this!

          This episode is a time to reflect so that you understand why you're up at 3am or 4am. If you are confused and want clarity, try listening with an open "subconscious" brain. 

          • Question of the day: When was the last time you reflected on your life.
          • If January was slow for you, don't let it get you down. It's still winter and this isn't necessarily the time to spring into action.
          • Take a look back and see if there is something you missed before that you can use to move forward. We work through how to do this in the episode.

          • 6.24 - Cont'd from episode 6.15 - The Part of the Story Everyone Misses

            You’ll like this episode. It’s a continuation of the “hard work” discussion. 

            • We continue the conversation from Episode 15, where the focus was on the part of success stories that usually gets skipped or softened once people “make it.”
            • This episode questions whether hard work alone actually explains success, or if there are other forces at play that don’t show up in interviews, bios, or highlight reels.
            • The discussion reframes success stories by looking at what people tend to forget, minimize, or unintentionally rewrite once they’re on the other side.
            • We examine why so many hardworking people never reach the outcomes they expect, while others do, even when effort looks similar on the surface.
            • The episode introduces a clear framework for understanding success that goes beyond effort, including elements people rarely name out loud.
            • There’s a simplification of Imposter Syndrome, making it easier to understand without clinical language or self-diagnosis.
            • The episode explores how comparison quietly distorts perception, especially when you’re measuring yourself against someone else’s edited version of their journey.
            • A recurring theme is how personal definitions of success matter more than borrowed ones, and why achievement doesn’t end the internal process, it often restarts it at a higher level.

              In this episode, I’m sharing what it actually takes to adjust when you choose to explore outside the U.S. for an extended period of time. I talk about how after a while you stop viewing places through a fantasy lens. 

               

              This conversation is for listeners who are curious about life abroad, long-term travel, or relocation, and want the real experience, not the polished version.

              I talk about the practical tradeoffs that come with affordability, how tourism and Western influence begin to reshape local culture, and what it feels like when convenience, quality, and comfort are no longer guaranteed. 

              This episode is about adaptation, discernment, and noticing how money, access, and values show up in everyday decisions when you’re living inside a culture, not visiting it.

            • Ep 6.19 Listener Response: Burdens and responsibilities keep you up

              In this listener response episode, I’m responding to a woman who is dealing with recurring stomach issues, but she is also having trouble with all three sleep challenge. She has trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and she's even up at 3 or 4am quite often.

              However, she stated that falling asleep isn’t usually the issue. Staying asleep is more often what she is experiencing. When she wakes, worry takes over, and over time the sleep disruption catches up to her physically.

              As we talked through her intake, a larger pattern emerged. She carries a lot of responsibility for others, is the problem-solver in her family, and often feels the weight of being the one everyone depends on. 

              This episode is about understanding the mix of physical symptoms, emotional burden, and ongoing pressure that’s showing up at night for her.

              Question of the Day
