Summary
In today’s episode, I sit down with high performance coach and Edge founder Raul Villacis to talk about why so many successful men still struggle with purpose, fulfillment, and identity. We discuss the difference between a midlife crisis and what Raul calls a purpose crisis, why achievement alone can leave people feeling empty, and how community, accountability, and asking for help can change everything. Alongside insights from Forrest Griffin, Bill Walsh, and Dr. Stefano Sinicropi, we also explore the connection between mindset, physical health, hormones, and leadership, along with why living by a personal code creates lasting strength, resilience, and meaningful success.
