What followed was a painful season of counseling, self-discovery, and confronting the realities of how his lack of emotional intelligence was impacting every area of his life.This isn’t a conversation about becoming more emotional.It’s a conversation about becoming more aware.Russ shares how hidden wounds, fear of failure, insecurity, and the need for validation often drive the reactions, decisions, and relationships of men without them even realizing it. We discuss why so many men misdiagnose their problems, how emotional intelligence affects leadership, marriage, fatherhood, and work, and why growth begins when a man takes ownership of what’s happening beneath the surface.We discuss:• The moment that changed the course of Russ’s life• How counseling introduced him to emotional intelligence• Why men often overreact without understanding why• The hidden wound of inadequacy many men carry• Why capability and integrity are such powerful triggers• The connection between emotional intelligence and leadership• Understanding emotional flooding, Tigers, and Turtles• How past wounds shape present reactions• Practical ways men can grow in self-awareness• Why emotional intelligence impacts every area of lifeOne of the questions we kept coming back to was this:What if the problem isn’t what’s happening around you… but what’s happening inside you?Most men spend years trying to fix circumstances, relationships, careers, or frustrations without realizing that the deeper issue may be something they’ve never stopped long enough to examine.Pull up a seat.Welcome to The Outpost.
