Your Pain Isn't Everyone Else's Responsibility

from Battle Harder| Pain Into Progress Hosted by Rob Wheeler

Everyone has bad days. What's one interaction you've had recently that reminded you how powerful kindness can be? The problem starts when we make everyone else pay for them. After a frustrating trip to the DMV with my wife, I found myself asking a question that had nothing to do with government offices—and everything to do with leadership, emotional maturity, and personal responsibility. In this Battle Ready Solo episode, I share a personal story, reflect on my own struggles with PTSD, anger, and emotional regulation, and explain why your pain may explain your behavior—but it should never excuse it. If you're trying to become a better husband, father, leader, or man, this conversation is for you.
