This episode rips the mask off the modern man and asks one simple question:

Are you still hiding behind excuses… or are you ready to lead?

Host Shawn Dirksen AKA STOGIE takes the gloves off and delivers a raw, unapologetic gut-check to men faking strength while running from accountability.

You’ll hear:

Why fake confidence is killing your leadership

• The real cost of living a lie (and what science says about it)
• The power of brotherhood and why isolation is destroying men’s lives
• Practical steps to reclaim your purpose, your presence, and your path

This isn’t a motivational pep talk.

It’s a line in the sand.

And if you’re ready to step over it—welcome to The Backroom Brotherhood.
