076: "It's Not My Task" and Having the Courage to be Disliked

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew dive into the powerful lessons from The Courage to Be Disliked and why so many men hold themselves back because of fear—fear of judgment, fear of failure, and fear of not being ‘ready’. We unpack why waiting for the perfect conditions is just another excuse, how self-sabotage often hides behind good intentions, and why caring less about what others think is a game-changer for growth.
