Making A Man
Ep 15: Back Kicks, Mental Grit, and Building a Man
In this off-the-cuff episode of Making a Man, Axel and I flip a no-show into a deep and honest convo on everything from spinning back kicks and Fortnite to survival strategies and mental toughness.
We talk about how hard work, not talent, is the key to success, why it's important to get comfortable being uncomfortable, and share stories that inspire—like David Goggins and even Colonel Sanders.
It's unfiltered, fun, and full of lessons that matter. Tune in!
💡 Key Takeaways:
✅ Success often comes from hard work and persistence, not just natural talent.
✅ Discomfort is part of growth—developing tolerance for it builds mental toughness.
✅ Having a Plan B is essential when others don't follow through.
✅ Life is “front-loaded,” meaning early discipline and effort set up future success.
