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
