Every parent fears they're screwing up their kids. But as a Nice Guy coach with a 10-year-old son, Ari faces a chilling realization: What if he's accidentally raising the next generation of people-pleasers?

In this raw and honest conversation, Ari, Faisal, and Chuck dig into the hardest parenting questions:

How do you tell the difference between kindness and people-pleasing in kids?

What are the early warning signs of Nice Guy syndrome showing up in your child?

Are you accidentally modeling the very behaviors you're trying to prevent?
When does "being a good parent" cross the line into codependency?
How do you teach resilience without crushing their spirit?

The difference between pushing your kids and projecting your childhood wounds onto them
From jump rope tests and Taekwondo black belts to bedtime phone rules and dirty uniforms, this episode tackles the messy reality of conscious parenting. We explore the fine line between protecting our kids and preparing them for real life.

Whether you're a parent worried about raising resilient children, a recovering Nice Guy navigating fatherhood, or someone trying to understand how these patterns form — this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about "good parenting."

Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is let them struggle.

Should We Legalize Prostitution? The Sexual Frustration Crisis Men Are Facing

This episode tackles one of the most controversial questions of our time: Should prostitution be legal? But it's not just about policy — it's about the sexual shame, frustration, and isolation that's destroying men in silence.

Faisal, Chuck, and Ari dive deep into the reality that most people won't discuss: Men are sexually starving in sexless marriages, endless single streaks, and a culture that celebrates women's emotional needs while shaming men's physical ones.

What we unpack:

• Why men have 20x more testosterone but nowhere to express their sexual needs without being labeled "creepy" or "predatory"
• The double standard: Women get therapy, safe spaces, and sex toys while men get shame and secrecy
• How sexual repression creates the very dysfunction we're trying to avoid — porn addiction, affairs, and dark obsessions
• Real stories from strip clubs and escort experiences that reveal what men are actually seeking (hint: it's not always what you think)
• The difference between sexual gratification and true intimacy — and why men confuse the two
• What happens when couples have mismatched sex drives and one partner holds the other "hostage"
• Whether legalizing prostitution would help or hurt men's ability to form real relationships

The hard questions: Is denying men a healthy sexual outlet forcing them into dysfunction? Are we already "paying for sex" through expensive dates and gifts? If women can seek emotional support outside marriage, why can't men seek physical release?

This isn't about promoting or condemning — it's about having the honest conversation that society refuses to have. Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge how you think about male sexuality, relationship dynamics, and what we actually need versus what we think we want.

Warning: This conversation goes places most won't. If you're uncomfortable discussing male sexual needs openly, this episode will push your boundaries. But that discomfort might be exactly what you need to examine.

You second-guess every decision. You overthink every conversation. You're constantly worried about doing the wrong thing, upsetting someone, or messing up. Sound familiar? That's what we're diving into in this episode: why nice guys don't trust themselves — and how that lack of self-trust is sabotaging every relationship in their lives.

Chuck, Ari, and Faisal get real about their own struggles with self-doubt, people-pleasing, and that paralyzing fear of being wrong. Because here's the brutal truth: if you don't trust yourself, nobody else will either. Not your partner, not your kids, not your team.

We break down:

Why nice guys outsource their decisions and avoid conflict at all costs

How childhood programming taught us that being "good" is more important than being honest

The shame spiral that keeps men stuck in analysis paralysis

Why women can sense when you don't trust yourself (and why it's such a turn-off)

Practical steps to rebuild self-trust through consistency and accountability
How to stop looking for validation and start validating your own decisions
The power of leaning into tension instead of always taking the easy way out
This isn't just about making better decisions — it's about reclaiming your masculine core and becoming the kind of man who knows what he thinks, what he wants, and where he's going.

If you've been living someone else's blueprint instead of your own, this conversation will wake you up. Time to stop asking for permission and start trusting yourself.
