Why You’re Stuck Making Excuses (And How to Stop) - Ep #180
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Too many men are living small and don’t even know it. They’ve convinced themselves they’re stuck because they don’t have the time, money, or opportunity. The truth? Those excuses are just fear in disguise, keeping you from the life you say you want.
In this episode of the RISING KINGS Podcast, Ben is pulling back the curtain on the scarcity mindset and calling it what it really is - fear.
You’ll learn:
- How to recognise the stories you tell yourself to avoid discomfort.
- Why scarcity isn’t about resources—it’s about mindset.
- The role courage plays in crushing mediocrity and achieving growth.
- How to take bold, uncomfortable steps toward the life you’re capable of living.
Ben shares his own wake-up call - how fear held him back even when we thought he was "being strategic" - and the powerful shift that happened when he stopped waiting for the perfect moment and started stepping into the unknown.
If you’re ready to call yourself out, stop playing small, and lean into courage, this episode is your starting point.
