The Therapy Trapdoor—Your Secret Weapon to Wealth & Self-Worth | 1PM: 136 Episode Summary: Yo, what's up, everyone—Bertrand here. I know we just wrapped the Money Series, but I had to drop this bonus episode because this message is too real and too important to wait. I’m talking about a secret weapon that changed my life and helped me level up as a man, husband, father, and CEO: therapy. In this raw conversation, I share how therapy (twice a week!) has helped me: Separate personal pain from business pressure Overcome people-pleasing Charge what I’m worth Stop undervaluing the knowledge I’ve bled for And most importantly—become a better version of myself Whether you're drowning in debt, trying to lead a business, or just trying to lead yourself—you need a mirror. And that mirror is therapy. I'm not talking fluffy feel-good sessions. I'm talking real accountability, deep introspection, and honest work. Real Gems Inside: Why CEOs and high-performers should do therapy twice a week How my self-worth issues kept me from charging for my value The truth about free game vs. paid coaching How to structure therapy: personal vs. business focus Where to find a therapist TODAY (PsychologyToday, insurance or cash-based options) Your Action Item: Go to PsychologyToday.com and book your first therapy session this week. One session for personal. One session for business. Watch how your clarity, confidence, and income shift. My Final Word: Therapy isn’t weakness—it’s emotional armor. Don’t let pride, ego, or culture keep you stuck. You’re already a CEO—now it’s time to become a better one.
