Talking points: masculinity, discipline, purpose How's that for a spicy title?

All right, men, welcome back to the man talk show. I am Connor Beaten. And today we're going to be

0:04.5

talking about the 10 things that men do that destroy their lives. Now, this is an amalgamation of

0:10.3

what I have seen in men after working with guys for the last decade. Some of these, most of these,

0:16.4

are things that I've done in my own life and had to move through. So I'm going to give you

0:20.0

some practical stories and ways to move through them. But let's just dive straight in because I think

0:24.9

what I've noticed is that there's a very real crisis of masculinity within our culture. And a lot

0:30.3

0:36.2

1:09.8

it can be very helpful for a lot of people. But, you know, I've worked with thousands of guys from around the

1:14.6

world. And I have been working with men for a very long time. And there's some patterns that I

1:19.9

have noticed that really damage our lives as men. And they destroy our relationships,

1:25.6

our purpose, all these pieces.

1:28.0

And many of these I've fallen into the trap of.

1:30.3

So let's get started.

1:31.5

The first one, honestly, the biggest one that I've seen across the board, and to be honest
