The Art of Charm

You’ve Been Lied To About Growth | Howard Falco


Listen Later

What does it really mean to reclaim your power? In this deep and grounded episode of Social Intelligence, AJ and Johnny talk with transformation coach Howard Falco about why so many men feel off-track—even when they’re doing all the “right” things.

Howard reveals why insight alone isn’t enough, and how true transformation only happens when we confront ourselves, embody stillness, and live in full alignment. From breaking spiritual performance habits to building inner strength, this episode is a call to live with energy, truth, and direction.

What to listen for:

[00:00:00] Why intellectual insight doesn’t equal transformation

[00:04:42] The trap of spiritual performance and emotional bypassing
[00:08:37] Why men feel lost even after “doing the work”
[00:11:12] The role of embodiment in building internal power
[00:14:25] How stillness reveals what you’re really avoiding
[00:18:49] Leading yourself before leading others
[00:22:03] What true self-trust feels like—and how to build it
[00:26:16] The difference between hype energy and grounded energy
[00:29:58] Why you don’t need to be fixed—you need to be clear
[00:33:45] Howard’s message for men who feel disconnected or stuck
