Rebuilding the Modern Man: Strength, Discipline & Purpose | Eliot Hulse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The modern man is lost.
Weak physically. Distracted mentally. Disconnected spiritually.
In this episode, I sit down with Eliot Hulse to break down what’s really happening to men today—and more importantly, how to fix it.
We talk about: • Why masculinity is under attack • The real reason men feel lost and directionless • Discipline, strength, and reclaiming your purpose • The dangers of comfort, distraction, and weak leadership • How to rebuild yourself as a man in today’s world
This isn’t about politics. This is about responsibility.
If you’re a man trying to lead your life, your family, and yourself better—this conversation will hit.
