MIDMEN - Episode 20: Authenticity - What Is Our True Self & The Power Of Saying No

from MidMen · host Paul Shirey, Sean Coyle

What does it really mean to be authentic? In this episode, the MidMen dive deep into the idea of the “true self”—how much of who we are is genuine, and how much is shaped by others? From changing ourselves to fit in, to the philosophical puzzle of whether a single “authentic self” even exists, we ask the big questions about identity, honesty, and self-perception.We balance the heavy stuff with our Get Off My Lawn rant about bad design (“Who the hell built this?!”), a Brian Hall Shout-Out (of course), and a fun authenticity quiz where we force each other to make impossible Either/Or choices—sometimes hilarious, sometimes revealing.🎙️ Can you ever really know your true self? Let’s find out together.👉 Don’t forget to rate, review, and share if you enjoy the show—it means the world to us.
