A major curveball. Real consequences. And his first instinct \u2014 like most men \u2014 was to catastrophise, panic, and spiral into worst-case thinking. This episode is built around that conversation. Because how you respond when things go wrong is one of the most important skills you will ever develop as a man. Inside this episode: \u2022What a microtrauma is \u2014 and why high-performing men are more vulnerable to them than they think \u2022Why your brain is hardwired to scan for threats and worst-case scenarios \u2014 and how to override it \u2022The difference between responding and reacting when you are highly emotional \u2022How I helped my client shift from seeing a threat to seeing an opportunity in the same situation \u2022Why "it doesn't happen to you, it happens for you" is not just a quote \u2014 it is a way of operating \u2022How COVID closing my bootcamp overnight became the best thing that ever happened to my business \u2022Why men fall into the pity cycle \u2014 and how to break out of it \u2022The boiler story: why perspective is everything when life throws a speed bump \u2022Why having a mentor in your corner changes the way you handle pressure Life is full of speed bumps.
