In this episode, Jonnie calls out one of the biggest traps men fall into — the relentless self-talk that chips away at confidence and momentum. He reminds us that most of what we label as failure is actually progress in disguise. Through a raw story of a coaching call with a dad rebuilding his life, Jonnie shows how easy it is to focus on what’s missing instead of what’s working.
This one’s a wake-up call to stop beating yourself up and start seeing the man you’re becoming. Because self-respect isn’t found in perfection — it’s built in the rebuild.
The voice inside your head is either building you up or tearing you down. Most men spend years running a negative highlight reel — seeing only the misses and ignoring the micro-wins that prove they’re already rising. Jonnie breaks down why reframing that story changes everything: from your mood to your results to your relationships.
“When you start to tell yourself ‘I’m an incredible dad, friend, lover, man,’ you’re not lying — you’re training your mind to see the truth.”
This episode is a reminder that you are not behind. You’re in process. You’re exactly where you need to be to become the man you’re meant to be.
