"The authenticity and that movement towards it comes from the ability to just tell the truth all the time. I think guys are lying to themselves a lot and then, as a result, they end up lying to others." - Joe Whisney
This conversation with trainer and coach Joe Whisney left me with that electric feeling of perspective-shifting insight I've come to expect from our talks. We dove deep into what transformation really means—beyond the physical changes that so many of us focus on. Joe shared this compelling perspective on how listening to those inexplicable inner pulls (even when terrifying) has guided his major life decisions, from joining the military to moving across the country. What struck me most was how he framed masculine leadership through the lens of truth-telling, first to ourselves, then to others. There's something powerful about a man who embraces both strength and emotional honesty—creating a container that allows feminine energy to flow freely within it. This conversation bridges strategy and intuition in ways that might just transform how you think about personal growth.
