Episode Details

I break down the Great Man Theory and what it actually means for modern men. I explore why the individuals we study quietly shape our standards, our ambition, and ultimately our identity. This isn’t about idol worship. It’s about consciously choosing the models that influence how we think and act. If you’re going to study someone, make sure they elevate you.
