If you have ever had problems with being and building confidence in others, I am envious. Confidence is one of those things that you will need throughout life. Whether you are pitching a meeting or lying through your teeth. In addition, as you step into a leadership role, you must instill confidence in your team. […]
Friendships are a cornerstone of a fulfilling life, yet many men find making and maintaining close friends particularly challenging as they age. The “friendship recession” is real, and it’s not just about having fewer friends; it’s about the quality and depth of those relationships. Whether you’re fresh out of college or noticing your circle has […]
Years of employment have exposed me to a lot of things. I like to dwell on the good stuff, or at least I try to. But it’s hard to forget all the bad, too. In fact, more than 50% of people lose jobs because of bad bosses, not bad employment. Another 37% think about leaving […]
There came a time when I stopped being an employee—at least, that’s what it felt like when I was promoted to management. My plan was to be a good manager; nobody really plans for less. My goal was to help the team I managed with no problems. I had never considered dealing with a different […]
What is happiness and joy? Are these actual concepts we can truly understand, and if so what would be the importance of understanding them?

It wasn’t an event I anticipated, nor something I thought would shape my understanding of life and relationships as deeply as it has. But, life teaches us the most through unexpected experiences. You see, my parents got a divorce after 30+ years of marriage! My brothers and I were all in our late twenties and […]
One thing I have noticed is that men love to talk about fitness. They share gym routines, food calendars, protein intake and recipes, and more. Bros always try to get their fellow bros fit and healthy. The only fitness guys rarely pay attention to is social fitness for men. But I get it. Social fitness […]
It seems that the world never stops changing, especially in employment. In less than five years, we went from office setups to remote working and then found balance in a hybrid setup. And the dust is yet to settle on a lot more things. In the middle of all these changes, I could not help […]
One of the few things I have learned about freelancing is that I am a job seeker for as long as I’m working. Yes, there are benefits like working your own hours and having free time beyond the weekday. But you are always hunting for a job—which is what most people are doing right now. […]
