## Resource

Connor Beaton is a men’s life and relationship coach, the founder of ManTalks and is one of the leading voices regarding helping men become the healthiest and best version of themselves. Today on the show we discuss why so many men feel lost right now, how the pressure to provide can distort a man’s sense of worth, why self-leadership is the real foundation of confidence, how porn, weed, alcohol, and impulse-chasing become substitutes for deeper pain and connection, why men need challenge, fitness, and depth-oriented friendships to grow, and how to stop living in the golden handcuffs of comfort and start moving toward what you’re actually capable of and much more.
