In this episode, Byron opens up about his evolving understanding of masculinity—from his post-divorce years chasing external markers of success (the Porsche, multiple partners, the best table at restaurants) to his current view that true masculinity means being comfortable with who you are.
Byron reflects on how his definition has shifted from externally focused to internally focused, emphasizing that vulnerability is actually strength. The conversation explores how mental models from our past shape us, the importance of unlearning limiting beliefs, and why life is ultimately a \"single player game.\"
Paul and Byron also discuss role models, the value of reading biographies, and the difference between being a good human being versus conforming to societal expectations of what it means to \"be a man.\"
