This episode explores why men get excited to change then bail on their commitments. David Mailer invites us to examine the lure of instant gratification, the lie that there’s something wrong with us, and the cultural castration that keeps men from feeling their emotions. He teaches that emotion is the leverage for change and that connecting to a deeper why and being held accountable can transform our lives.

🧠 Key Takeaways:
~[00:01:00] The lure of quick fixes and instant gratification — why we bail on our commitments.
~[00:03:30] Recognizing you’re the common denominator and taking radical responsibility for your patterns.
~[00:05:35] Feeling your emotions is your birthright and the leverage for fundamental change.
~[00:07:20] Emotion drives change; connect to a deeper why (like walking your daughter down the aisle) to stay committed.
~[00:09:15] Practical steps to feel your emotions: scream into a pillow, go to your car or basement, make sounds, get into your body.
~[00:10:40] Accountability matters — find mentors, trainers and brothers who will hold your feet to the fire.
