Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode.

EP091 - What does vulnerability have to do with being a 'man's man', and how the hell can a man go about experiencing, embracing, and expressing vulnerability?
 
Today, my guest is Erik DaRosa, who is a former Wall St. investor, fellow podcaster, and trauma survivor advocate who has transformed his life from one of a hollow corporate shell to a man living with and on purpose.

Erik and I share so much in common, not the least of which is taking our passion - in his case skiing - and using it to help others overcome anxiety, and depression, and deal with the struggles of everyday life.

Erik is an amazing example of what can happen when a man is willing to stop fucking lying to himself, take a good look in the mirror, and realize that while he is responsible for his own life and happiness, this is not a journey that can or should be taken alone.
 

Here are just a few of the amazing takeaways Erik and I will be crushing today:
 
πŸ‘‰πŸΎ How Erik crashing into a condo while skiing turned out to be an amazing wake-up call to drop the Wall Street investor facade once and for all (15:34)

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Why both in life and in skiing you can’t just put your head down and expect to move forward, and if you focus on the trees (anxious thoughts) you ARE going to crash (30:03)

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ What does NOT being vulnerable look like so you can catch it and turn that shit around (101:00)

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ What to look out for and what to do to recognize pain in the people you love when on the surface they seem okay (114:46)

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ One of the core vulnerability practices every couple who struggles with communication needs to PRACTICE (134:27)

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ What Jordan, LeBron, Gretzky, and Brady can teach us about vulnerability (151:15)


πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ GIVE A SPOT. GET A SPOT.

When it comes to the ultimate workout that is everyday life, we all need a spot from time to time to carry the weight of relationships, mental health, work, and living with purpose.

Share this episode with a Brother you sense needs a spot or if you're the one struggling to lift the weight, share it with the one guy you know is always there to give you a spot when you need it.

I'm all about giving a spot when a Brother needs one so feel free to hit me up for a spot on IG @ignitetheimapct so we can train together towards Igniting the Impact you wish to see in your world.
