Let’s be honest—most men don’t need more motivation.What we need is a real map. A battle-tested framework that’ll wake us the hell up and walk us out of the fog of comfort, distraction, and passive living.That’s what this episode is all about.I sat down with Rick Walker—entrepreneur, leader, and author of the new book 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning. Rick isn’t just some mindset guru tossing around buzzwords. He’s built companies with hundreds of employees, raised billions in capital, and helped create thousands of jobs. But what really makes him dangerous—in the best way—is what he’s chosen to do with all that wisdom.This conversation is a straight-up call to arms. Rick breaks down the 9 essential steps that every man must walk if he wants to reclaim his mind, unlock his power, and finally live a life that means something. We talk generational pain, sacrifice, building legacy, and how to fight back against a world that wants men to stay weak, distracted, and small.This is one of those episodes you’ll want to come back to again and again, especially when life hits.
