You can have a great job a beautiful girlfriend or wife a few impressive wins under your belt But if you don’t have a strong social circle of other men men who respect you who challenge you who truly see you You’re walking a tightrope with no safety net Because here’s what happens when life hits no one’s got your back The success stops feeling good because no one’s around to recognize it Your wins feel invisible and your losses hit ten times harder Without the right circle you have no social insurance no leverage no grounding You’re not rising together you’re just surviving alone And eventually you hit ground zero with no one to catch you That’s the part most men don’t talk about Till next time, Brian
