  Okay,
• 0:00
  so
• 0:01
  today
• 0:02
  we're
• 0:02
  going
• 0:03
  to
• 0:03
  talk
• 0:03
  about
• 0:03
  something
• 0:04
  a
• 0:04
  little
• 0:04
  bit
• 0:04
  deeper.
• 0:05
  And
• 0:06
  I
• 0:06
  want
• 0:06
  to
• 0:06
  say
• 0:06
  this
• 0:06
  from
• 0:07
  the
• 0:07
  start,
• 0:07
  this
• 0:08
  isn't
• 0:08
  about
• 0:08
  being
• 0:09
  controversial.
• 0:10
  It's
• 0:10
  not
• 0:10
  about
• 0:10
  attacking
• 0:11
  anyone.
• 0:11
  It's
• 0:12
  about
• 0:12
  awareness
• 0:13
  and
• 0:13
  more
• 0:13
  importantly,
• 0:14
  responsibility.
• 0:16
  Because
• 0:16
  if
• 0:17
  you
• 0:17
  are
• 0:17
  a
• 0:17
  founder
• 0:18
  today,
• 0:18
  in
• 0:19
  2026,
• 0:20
  you
• 0:21
  are
• 0:21
  not
• 0:21
  just
• 0:21
  building
• 0:21
  a
• 0:22
  business,
• 0:22
  you're
• 0:23
  influencing
• 0:23
  people.
• 0:24
  You
• 0:24
  are
• 0:24
  shaping
• 0:25
  beliefs.
• 0:26
  You
• 0:26
  are
• 0:27
  part
• 0:27
  of
• 0:27
  culture,
• 0:28
  whether
• 0:28
  you
• 0:28
  realize
• 0:29
  it
• 0:29
  or
• 0:29
  not.
• 0:30
  Now,
• 0:30
  there's
• 0:30
  a
• 0:31
  shift
• 0:31
  happening
• 0:31
  right
• 0:32
  now,
• 0:32
  and
• 0:33
  we
• 0:33
  can't
• 0:33
  ignore
• 0:33
  it.
• 0:34
  The
• 0:34
  rise
• 0:34
  of,
• 0:35
  what's
• 0:35
  it
• 0:36
  being
• 0:36
  called,
• 0:36
  the
• 0:37
  manosphere.
• 0:38
  And
• 0:38
  let's
• 0:38
  just
• 0:39
  be
• 0:39
  honest
• 0:39
  about
• 0:39
  this,
• 0:40
  not
• 0:40
  all
• 0:41
  of
• 0:41
  it
• 0:41
  is
• 0:41
  positive.
• 0:42
  Some
• 0:42
  of
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  messaging
• 0:43
  we're
• 0:43
  seeing
• 0:43
  is
• 0:44
  built
• 0:44
  on
• 0:45
  division,
• 0:46
  fear,
• 0:46
  control,
• 0:47
  and
• 0:47
  a
• 0:47
  very
• 0:48
  narrow
• 0:48
  definition
• 0:49
  of
• 0:49
  power.
• 0:49
  And
• 0:50
  that
• 0:50
  matters
• 0:50
  because
• 0:51
  people
• 0:51
  are
• 0:52
  watching,
• 0:52
  listening,
• 0:53
  absorbing,
• 0:54
  especially
• 0:54
  the
• 0:55
  next
• 0:55
  generation.
• 0:56
  And
• 0:56
  this
• 0:56
  is
• 0:57
  where
• 0:57
  I
• 0:57
  want
• 0:58
  to
• 0:58
  shift
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  conversation,
• 0:59
  because
• 0:59
  the
• 1:00
  question
• 1:00
  isn't
• 1:01
  just
• 1:02
  what
• 1:02
  does
• 1:02
  this
• 1:03
  mean
• 1:03
  for
• 1:03
  business?
• 1:04
  It's
• 1:05
  what
• 1:06
  are
• 1:06
  we
• 1:06
  modeling,
• 1:07
  what
• 1:07
  are
• 1:07
  we
• 1:07
  normalizing,
• 1:08
  and
• 1:08
  what
• 1:09
  are
• 1:09
  we
• 1:09
  reinforcing
• 1:10
  without
• 1:10
  even
• 1:10
  realizing
• 1:11
  it?
• 1:11
  Because
• 1:12
  here's
• 1:12
  what
• 1:12
  I
• 1:13
  believe
• 1:13
  deeply.
• 1:14
  Power
• 1:14
  is
• 1:15
  not
• 1:15
  dominance.
• 1:16
  Power
• 1:16
  is
• 1:16
  self
• 1:17
  mastery.
• 1:17
  It's
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  emotional
• 1:18
  regulations.
• 1:19
  It's
• 1:19
  clarity,
• 1:20
  and
• 1:20
  it's
• 1:20
  discipline.
• 1:21
  It's
• 1:21
  the
• 1:21
  ability
• 1:22
  to
• 1:23
  lead
• 1:23
  yourself
• 1:24
  before
• 1:25
  you
• 1:26
  try
• 1:26
  to
• 1:26
  lead
• 1:26
  anyone
• 1:26
  else.
• 1:27
  And
• 1:27
  if
• 1:27
  we
• 1:27
  want
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  reposition
• 1:28
  what
• 1:29
  success
• 1:29
  looks
• 1:29
  like,
• 1:31
  we
• 1:31
  don't
• 1:31
  do
• 1:31
  it
• 1:31
  by
• 1:31
  shouting
• 1:32
  louder.
• 1:32
  We
• 1:32
  don't
• 1:33
  do
• 1:33
  it
• 1:33
  by
• 1:33
  fighting
• 1:34
  noise
• 1:34
  with
• 1:34
  more
• 1:35
  noise.
• 1:35
  We
• 1:36
  do
• 1:36
  it
• 1:36
  by
• 1:36
  becoming
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  example.
• 1:37
  And
• 1:38
  I'll
• 1:38
  be
• 1:38
  honest
• 1:38
  with
• 1:38
  you,
• 1:39
  there
• 1:39
  have
• 1:40
  been
• 1:40
  moments
• 1:40
  where
• 1:40
  I've
• 1:41
  looked
• 1:41
  at
• 1:41
  what's
• 1:41
  cutting
• 1:42
  through
• 1:42
  online
• 1:42
  and
• 1:43
  thought,
• 1:43
  do
• 1:44
  I
• 1:44
  need
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  be
• 1:44
  louder?
• 1:45
  Do
• 1:46
  I
• 1:46
  need
• 1:46
  to
• 1:46
  be
• 1:46
  more
• 1:47
  extreme?
• 1:48
  Do
• 1:48
  I
• 1:49
  need
• 1:49
  to
• 1:49
  push
• 1:49
  harder
• 1:50
  just
• 1:50
  to
• 1:51
  be
• 1:51
  heard?
• 1:52
  But
• 1:52
  every
• 1:53
  time
• 1:53
  I've
• 1:53
  come
• 1:53
  back
• 1:53
  to
• 1:54
  the
• 1:54
  same
• 1:54
  place,
• 1:55
  no.
• 1:56
  I
• 1:56
  just
• 1:56
  need
• 1:56
  to
• 1:56
  be
• 1:57
  clearer.
• 1:58
  Clearer
• 1:59
  in
• 1:59
  what
• 1:59
  I
• 1:59
  stand
• 1:59
  for,
• 2:00
  clearer
• 2:01
  in
• 2:01
  how
• 2:01
  I
• 2:01
  lead,
• 2:02
  clearer
• 2:02
  in
• 2:02
  how
• 2:02
  I
• 2:03
  show
• 2:03
  up.
• 2:03
  Because
• 2:04
  clarity
• 2:05
  with
• 2:05
  conviction
• 2:06
  always
• 2:07
  wins
• 2:07
  long
• 2:07
  term.
• 2:08
  And
• 2:08
  this
• 2:09
  is
• 2:09
  where
• 2:09
  founders
• 2:10
  have
• 2:10
  such
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  powerful
• 2:11
  role
• 2:11
  to
• 2:11
  play.
• 2:11
  Because
• 2:12
  your
• 2:12
  business
• 2:12
  is
• 2:13
  not
• 2:13
  just
• 2:13
  a
• 2:13
  revenue
• 2:14
  stream,
• 2:14
  it's
• 2:15
  a
• 2:15
  platform.
• 2:16
  Your
• 2:16
  content
• 2:16
  is
• 2:17
  not
• 2:17
  just
• 2:17
  marketing,
• 2:18
  it's
• 2:18
  messaging
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  your
• 2:19
  leadership.
• 2:20
  That's
• 2:21
  what
• 2:21
  people
• 2:21
  model.
• 2:22
  So
• 2:22
  what
• 2:22
  does
• 2:23
  this
• 2:23
  actually
• 2:23
  look
• 2:23
  like
• 2:24
  in
• 2:24
  practice?
• 2:25
  It
• 2:25
  looks
• 2:25
  like
• 2:25
  showing
• 2:26
  that
• 2:26
  success
• 2:27
  doesn't
• 2:27
  require.
• 2:28
  Require
• 2:28
  you
• 2:28
  to
• 2:29
  lose
• 2:29
  yourself,
• 2:30
  that
• 2:30
  you
• 2:31
  don't
• 2:31
  have
• 2:31
  to
• 2:32
  sacrifice
• 2:33
  your
• 2:33
  values
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  build
• 2:34
  wealth.
• 2:34
  That
• 2:35
  leadership
• 2:35
  doesn't
• 2:35
  mean
• 2:36
  control,
• 2:36
  and
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  strength
• 2:38
  includes
• 2:39
  empathy.
• 2:40
  Because
• 2:40
  right
• 2:41
  now,
• 2:41
  there's
• 2:42
  a
• 2:42
  lot
• 2:42
  of
• 2:42
  content
• 2:43
  being
• 2:43
  rewarded.
• 2:44
  That
• 2:44
  leans
• 2:44
  into
• 2:45
  ego,
• 2:46
  extremes,
• 2:47
  outrage.
• 2:48
  But
• 2:48
  what
• 2:48
  actually
• 2:49
  builds
• 2:49
  sustainable
• 2:50
  success
• 2:50
  is
• 2:51
  very
• 2:51
  different.
• 2:52
  It's
• 2:52
  Consistency,
• 2:53
  self
• 2:54
  awareness
• 2:54
  and
• 2:55
  responsibility
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  emotional
• 2:57
  intelligence.
• 2:58
  And
• 2:58
  this
• 2:58
  starts
• 2:59
  closer
• 2:59
  to
• 2:59
  home,
• 3:00
  home
• 3:00
  than
• 3:00
  people
• 3:01
  think.
• 3:01
  It's
• 3:02
  in
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  conversations
• 3:03
  we
• 3:03
  have,
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04
  behaviors
• 3:04
  we
• 3:05
  reward,
• 3:05
  the
• 3:06
  standards
• 3:06
  we
• 3:06
  set.
• 3:07
  Whether
• 3:07
  you
• 3:07
  have
• 3:07
  children
• 3:08
  or
• 3:08
  not,
• 3:09
  you
• 3:09
  are
• 3:10
  influencing
• 3:11
  someone
• 3:12
  through
• 3:12
  your
• 3:13
  business,
• 3:13
  through
• 3:14
  your
• 3:14
  content,
• 3:15
  through
• 3:15
  your
• 3:15
  energy.
• 3:16
  So
• 3:16
  instead
• 3:17
  of
• 3:17
  asking,
• 3:18
  how
• 3:18
  do
• 3:18
  I
• 3:18
  compete
• 3:19
  with
• 3:19
  what's
• 3:19
  happening?
• 3:20
  Ask
• 3:21
  how
• 3:21
  do
• 3:21
  I
• 3:21
  lead
• 3:22
  differently?
• 3:23
  Communicate
• 3:24
  strength
• 3:25
  without
• 3:25
  aggression,
• 3:26
  build
• 3:26
  success
• 3:27
  without
• 3:27
  creating
• 3:28
  division,
• 3:28
  create
• 3:29
  impact
• 3:29
  without
• 3:30
  compromising
• 3:30
  who
• 3:31
  I
• 3:31
  am.
• 3:31
  Because
• 3:32
  next
• 3:32
  generation
• 3:32
  doesn't
• 3:33
  need
• 3:33
  more
• 3:34
  noise.
• 3:34
  They
• 3:34
  need
• 3:35
  better
• 3:35
  examples.
• 3:36
  They
• 3:37
  need
• 3:37
  to
• 3:37
  see
• 3:38
  that
• 3:38
  you
• 3:38
  can
• 3:38
  be
• 3:38
  powerful
• 3:39
  and
• 3:39
  grounded,
• 3:40
  ambitious
• 3:41
  and
• 3:41
  self
• 3:41
  aware,
• 3:42
  successful
• 3:43
  and
• 3:43
  kind.
• 3:44
  And
• 3:44
  I
• 3:44
  truly
• 3:45
  believe
• 3:45
  this.
• 3:46
  The
• 3:47
  future
• 3:47
  of
• 3:47
  business
• 3:48
  doesn't
• 3:48
  belong
• 3:48
  to
• 3:48
  the
• 3:49
  loudest
• 3:49
  voices.
• 3:49
  It
• 3:50
  belongs
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  most
• 3:51
  aligned
• 3:51
  ones.
• 3:52
  The
• 3:52
  ones
• 3:53
  who
• 3:53
  know
• 3:54
  who
• 3:54
  they
• 3:54
  are,
• 3:54
  what
• 3:55
  they
• 3:55
  stand
• 3:55
  for,
• 3:56
  and
• 3:56
  how
• 3:56
  they
• 3:56
  want
• 3:56
  to
• 3:57
  lead.
• 3:58
  So
• 3:58
  let
• 3:58
  me
• 3:58
  ask
• 3:58
  you
• 3:59
  something.
• 3:59
  Where
• 4:00
  might
• 4:00
  you
• 4:00
  be
• 4:01
  holding
• 4:01
  back
• 4:01
  your
• 4:02
  voice
• 4:02
  right
• 4:02
  now?
• 4:02
  Where
• 4:03
  are
• 4:03
  you
• 4:03
  diluting
• 4:04
  your
• 4:04
  message?
• 4:05
  Softening
• 4:06
  your
• 4:06
  truth?
• 4:07
  Staying
• 4:07
  quiet
• 4:07
  to
• 4:08
  avoid
• 4:08
  judgment?
• 4:09
  And
• 4:09
  what
• 4:09
  would
• 4:09
  happen
• 4:10
  if
• 4:10
  you
• 4:10
  just
• 4:11
  owned
• 4:12
  it
• 4:12
  fully?
• 4:13
  Because
• 4:13
  your
• 4:13
  voice,
• 4:15
  that's
• 4:15
  your
• 4:15
  influence,
• 4:16
  your
• 4:17
  standards,
• 4:17
  that's
• 4:18
  your
• 4:18
  legacy.
• 4:19
  And
• 4:19
  if
• 4:19
  you're
• 4:19
  ready
• 4:20
  to
• 4:20
  build
• 4:20
  a
• 4:20
  business
• 4:21
  that
• 4:21
  reflects
• 4:21
  that
• 4:22
  level
• 4:22
  of
• 4:22
  leadership,
• 4:23
  where
• 4:23

  a
