In this episode of Mindfully Masculine, Charles and Dan continue their exploration of The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, turning a critical eye toward two major ideas: fairness and comparison.
First, they take on the statement “life isn’t fair”—not to reject it outright, but to unpack its usefulness. Is declaring unfairness a helpful truth, or a dead-end framing? The conversation pushes beyond the cliché to explore what men are actually supposed to do with that idea.
Then, they dive into the difference between comparison that inspires and comparison that corrodes. Drawing from their own experiences, Charles and Dan discuss how jealousy can reveal what you value—and how to use that information for growth, not shame.
Listeners will walk away with a clearer sense of how to redirect energy from external frustration to internal clarity—while staying grounded in reality, not just motivational slogans.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling behind, envious, or like effort doesn’t matter because “life’s just unfair,” this episode offers a more honest, masculine path forward.
