  • Patience is a Skill, Not a Personality Trait
    Jan 27 2026

    For a long time, I thought impatience was just part of who I was. That some people were naturally disciplined, calm, and patient, but others weren’t. But over time, I started to see a pattern. The moments where I rushed, reacted, or forced action were usually the moments that cost me the most.


    In this episode of Man-Kind, I talk about patience as a learned skill rather than a fixed trait. I reflect on how acting from anger or urgency has derailed ideas, decisions, and progress in my life, and how learning to sit with boredom, uncertainty, and stillness has led to clearer choices in trading, relationships, and everyday life.


    This episode is about emotional regulation, timing, and choosing response over reaction. Not perfection. Just better decisions made from a steadier place.

  • When Pride Stops Working
    Jan 20 2026

    For a long time, pride felt like strength. It kept me moving forward, kept me independent, and kept me from asking for help. But eventually, that same pride became the thing that was holding me back.


    In this episode of Man-Kind, I talk about what happened when anger became my default emotion, why I resisted accepting help for so long, and the moment I finally admitted that doing everything on my own wasn’t working anymore. I share how dropping my pride didn’t make me weaker — it gave me clarity, space, and the ability to take responsibility for my reactions instead of being controlled by them.


    This episode isn’t about labels or solutions. It’s about honesty, humility, and what can happen when you stop fighting yourself long enough to let something change.

  • Learning Didn’t Fail Me…School Did
    Jan 13 2026

    For a long time, learning felt out of reach — not because I wasn’t capable, but because the way information was taught never worked for me. Memorization without context, rigid pacing, and constant distraction quietly shaped the belief that learning just wasn’t something I was good at.


    In this episode of Man-Kind, I reflect on how that belief followed me into adulthood, how it limited what I thought I was capable of, and what changed once learning became interactive, adaptive, and grounded in feedback rather than shame. I talk about rebuilding confidence through skill-building later in life, understanding the why behind structure, and realizing that growth doesn’t have an expiration date.


    This episode isn’t about rejecting education. It’s about reclaiming learning — on my own terms — and recognizing that learning didn’t fail me.

    School did.
