0:00.0 | there are millions of men out there who are so afraid to assert themselves because they're afraid |
0:05.7 | of rejection, they're afraid of failure, they're afraid of looking foolish. And the ironic and |
0:11.1 | cruel thing about it is everybody already thinks you're a failure when you're acting like a loser. |
0:15.6 | But when you're acting passive as a man, everybody already thinks you're a loser. They want somebody who has |
0:23.4 | courage and balls and audacity, but can also be humble. You're a man of action. You live |

1:39.1 | people reference old episodes, early episodes, but I do like the fact that over the course of doing this for |
1:48.2 | you for seven years, for me for 10 years, that you get better, you improve. And sometimes |
1:55.5 | it just takes a little bit to find your footing. Most people, I think, assume, especially if they just stumble onto this |
2:01.9 | podcast or anything that they enjoy, that that person is just gifted by the hand of God with |
2:07.5 | whatever they're doing. And while I will admit there are some certain skill sets or capabilities |
