  • Crushing Coward Energy: Reclaiming Masculine Strength in a Weak World
    Nov 5 2024

    Michael and Russell discuss the topic of cowardice, pulling no punches as they confront the ways it quietly undermines a man’s strength and purpose. They unpack what “coward energy” looks like—how fear, indecision, and a lack of boundaries rob men of their own power. Michael challenges men to consider where they’re letting fear hold them back and the true cost of not stepping into courage. The conversation hits hard on vulnerability, showing it not as weakness, but as a man’s deepest strength and an antidote to cowardice. This episode pushes men to face their fears head-on and to reclaim a warrior’s path.
