    Finding True Freedom in Being Real - Episode 116
    2025/10/08
    We talk a lot on this podcast about grit, about living on the edge of your comfort zone, about pushing yourself through the uncomfortable to grow. Today, we’re going deeper.

    We’re talking about what happens when the hustle and performance become masks, when we hide behind being “fine” instead of being seen for who we really are. This episode is about vulnerability, authenticity, and the courage to take that mask off. Growth doesn’t happen when we’re pretending to have it all together. It happens when we finally admit we don’t and ask for help.

    Five Key Insights:

    Hiding Behind the Mask Keeps You Stuck
    We learn early to hide—covering our flaws, failures, and fears with a mask of “I’m fine.” But that mask becomes a trap. It isolates us, keeps us from real connection, and prevents true healing. Freedom begins when we take it off and allow ourselves to be seen.

    Vulnerability Is Strength, Not Weakness
    Asking for help, admitting you’re struggling, or saying “I don’t have it all together” takes more courage than faking your way through. The real strength lies in owning your story, showing up authentically, and letting others in.

    Brotherhood Breaks Isolation
    When men have a safe place to be honest—like the Built for More community—everything changes. Growth happens when we can talk openly, call each other out in love, and walk through struggles together. Brotherhood builds freedom and accountability.

    The Hustle Can Become a Hiding Place
    Sometimes busyness becomes another mask. We use the hustle to avoid our emotions, silence the pain, or postpone hard conversations. But staying busy isn’t the same as being healthy. Healing starts when we stop hiding behind productivity and start facing what’s really going on.

    Growth Lives on the Other Side of Honesty
    Whether it’s journaling, reflection, or conversations with trusted people, being honest—with yourself and others—creates clarity. When you stop negotiating your non-negotiables and face the truth, your priorities realign, your mindset shifts, and transformation begins.

    One Truth:
    You can’t grow while you’re hiding. Real transformation begins the moment you take off the mask and let yourself be seen.

  • Take Off the Mask: Honest Conversations That Lead to Growth - Episode 115

    Take Off the Mask: Honest Conversations That Lead to Growth - Episode 115
    2025/09/24
    In this episode of Grit Meets Growth, we dive into the power of open dialog—not the surface-level kind that stays safe, but the kind that creates space for honest reflection, real accountability, and genuine connection. We explore how conversation becomes a tool for grit and resilience, challenging us to admit when we’re struggling, to call each other out when excuses creep in, and to carry one another’s burdens when life gets heavy.

    From the everyday encounters that remind us there are still good people in the world, to the brotherhood being built inside Built for More, this conversation is about taking the mask off, leaning into feedback, and growing together through meaningful, face-to-face dialog.

    5 key insights from this episode:
    1. Open dialog fuels grit and resilience Real conversation is not just about sharing opinions—it’s about having the courage to admit struggles, the humility to ask for help, and the strength to listen to feedback. That kind of dialog builds resilience and helps us grow through discomfort.
    2. Accountability requires speaking goals out loud Books and self-help resources can provide valuable insights, but without accountability, most lessons fade away. When goals are spoken out loud in a trusted group, others rally around them, creating support and pressure that makes growth stick.
    3. Connection and trust are built face-to-face In a world dominated by algorithms and social media echo chambers, true trust and connection come from human interaction. Sitting in a room together, removing the masks, and engaging in real dialog creates a kind of support technology can’t replace.
    4. Feedback is fuel for growth Feedback isn’t an attack—it’s a seed. When we receive it with humility, nurture it, and put it into action, it becomes the catalyst for transformation. Defensive walls only block the growth that comes from honest reflection and outside perspective.
    5. Brotherhood creates lasting change Inside Built for More, men are experiencing transformation because they’re no longer carrying their roles and struggles alone. Sharing openly with a trusted group shifts how they show up—in their families, their work, and their personal lives. Community accelerates change.
    One Truth:
    Growth doesn’t happen in silence—it happens when you’re willing to take off the mask, speak honestly, and let others hold you accountable.

  • Comfort is Expensive, Here’s What It’s Costing You - Episode 114

    Comfort is Expensive, Here’s What It’s Costing You - Episode 114
    2025/09/10
    We’re back, and today we’re diving into a subject that sits at the core of Grit Meets Growth—comfort. It’s been nearly a year since we dedicated an entire conversation to it, but if you’ve listened for a while, you know this theme surfaces often. We believe growth begins at the edge of your comfort zone, and while the world tells us to chase comfort, the truth is it comes with a hidden cost. Comfort feels safe, but it can quietly rob us of progress, purpose, and fulfillment. In this episode, we’re unpacking what comfort really means, why it’s so sneaky, and how stepping into discomfort—with discipline—opens the door to becoming who you’re built to be.

    Here are 5 key insights pulled from this episode on comfort and discipline:
    1. Comfort Comes with a Hidden Cost While the world sells us on the idea that comfort equals happiness, it often robs us of purpose, fulfillment, and growth. Staying “comfortable” in a job, relationship, or routine might feel safe, but it quietly drains time, energy, and potential.
    2. Discipline Beats Motivation Motivation comes and goes, but discipline is what drives progress. True discipline is doing what you said you would do, even when you don’t feel like it. It’s showing up consistently, leaning into structure, and replacing excuses with action.
    3. Growth Requires Discomfort Growth happens on the edge of your comfort zone. Whether it’s in your career, marriage, parenting, or personal habits, stepping into the uncomfortable is the catalyst for becoming your best self. Avoiding discomfort keeps you stuck in “good enough."
    4. Simplification Fuels Momentum Life doesn’t always require more—it often requires less. Stripping away excess, simplifying your routines, and focusing on the basics (like a morning workout, a hard conversation, or cooking your own meal) builds grit and momentum for long-term growth.
    5. Community Creates Accountability Breaking out of comfort is easier when you’re surrounded by people pursuing the same thing. Being in community with others who are willing to get uncomfortable, hold you accountable, and push alongside you makes growth sustainable and powerful.

    One Truth:
    Comfort feels safe, but it’s actually stealing your potential—real growth only happens when you choose discomfort and discipline.
