Adisa shares his transformative journey from an 18-year-old male facing personal crises to achieving mature manhood through rigorous self-study, discipline, and the mentorship of seasoned men.Together, they explore what it means to transition from being a male to embodying true manhood. They discuss the importance of maturity, emotional stability, and accountability, components essential to developing into a genuine man who can impact generations positively.Also in this episode: A man takes responsibility, seeks accountability, and humbles himself, whereas a male often makes excuses and avoids personal growth. Successful relationships are grounded in self-awareness and understanding, requiring both parties to be accountable for their roles. Growth often requires challenging and questioning one's beliefs and being open to new perspectives. It takes a village to turn a male into a man; surrounding oneself with authentic men is crucial for this growth.Shop IYLA: https://iylia.com/Use promo code EB20 for IYLIA champagne, offering 20% off on orders up to $200Check out Miracle Season’s collection: https://itsmiracleseason.co/collections/frontpageWork with me: https://www.ericbigger.com/workwithme?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=work_with_m...Connect with Simplified Impact: https://hubs.ly/Q02vvMJ90
