E31: The Lie Men Chase About Happiness

Most men are chasing something. More money. More success. More status. That feeling of finally “getting there.” However, what happens when you get there… and it still doesn’t feel like enough?In this episode, Derek and Jason unpack the lie a lot of men don’t even realize they’re living - the belief that the next level will finally bring peace, confidence, or fulfillment. They get into the pressure to perform, chasing validation, and how early experiences shape what we think happiness is supposed to look like in the first place. The conversation goes deeper into what men actually want underneath it all - respect, connection, being chosen - and why those things often get buried under the constant drive to achieve.This one isn’t about doing more. It’s about asking a better question: Is what you’re chasing even yours?
