Fatherhood & Mindset | Breaking Norms to Build Determination

Men's mental health through authentic conversations. Shawn French sits down with entrepreneur David Waldy to explore fatherhood, identity, and the discipline required to break norms. They unpack how vulnerability—not stoicism—builds determination, and why honest dialogue is the missing piece in modern masculine culture. A powerful deep-dive on overcoming obstacles through real connection. Key Takeaways -Many men struggle because they lack vulnerable conversations with other men. -Real strength comes from honesty, emotional awareness, and accountability. -Success often requires subtracting distractions rather than adding more tasks. -Self-trust is built by consistently keeping the promises you make to yourself. -Your potential may be huge, but your capacity must grow over time to sustain it. -Comparison destroys progress because everyone is moving toward different destinations.   Connect with me : https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGA David Waldy https://www.instagram.com/davidwaldy/ The Determined Society is hosted by Shawn French — a show for people who refuse to quit.
