I Asked Men When They Felt Most Alive. Their Answers Had a Pattern. | Episode 113
from Old Man Energy · host Old Man Energy
Episode 113: Do Men Even Matter?I asked a group of men three questions:When have you felt most alive?When have you been at your lowest?What does society get wrong about men's mental health?Their stories were different, but the patterns underneath them weren't.Again and again, feeling alive was connected to capability, accomplishment, responsibility, connection, purpose and knowing where they were going.Some of their lowest moments came when those same things disappeared.That raises a harder question:What happens when a man's sense of worth becomes tied to being useful, capable and needed, then suddenly he can't perform?In Episode 113 of Old Man Energy, I explore what these men's answers reveal about men's mental health, the difference between comfort and aliveness, why providing is about more than money, why functioning can hide a man who's falling apart, and why the same responsibilities that give men tremendous meaning can also become points of vulnerability.Maybe men don't simply need less responsibility.Maybe they need responsibility that matters, people worth carrying it for, a direction worth moving toward and an identity strong enough to survive failure.Maybe the question isn't only whether a man is happy.Maybe we need to ask:Who is better because you're here?And perhaps the harder question underneath all of it:Do men even matter?👉 Like, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs it📥 Links below for merch and current programs📲 Follow Flint for daily execution, discipline, and leadershipFree guides:https://www.anyidiotwithahammer.flintanderson.com/https://www.momentummatters.flintanderson.com/Old Man Energy Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/theoldmanenergyEntrepreneur Growth | https://750kmastermind.comWebsite | https://flintanderson.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/phlintrock/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/PhlintRock/TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@phlint_rockTwitter | https://twitter.com/PhlintRockOfficial Merchandise | https://shop.flintanderson.com/
