Most men don’t quit on their dreams because they failed.
They quit because life got comfortable… and the people around them meant well.

In this episode of Failures, Rich and Justin break down the idea of well-intended dream killers — the family, friends, and voices that slowly push you toward safety, stability, and “being realistic.”

We talk about:

• Why dreams rarely die from failure — and almost always die from comfort
• How quiet quitting happens without you even noticing
• The danger of “be realistic” advice
• Why most men dread their commute but never talk about it
• How adult responsibilities, fear, and outside opinions slowly erase ambition
• When realism is necessary — and when it’s just settling

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, unmotivated, or haunted by the thought that they were meant for more — but life got in the way.

You didn’t give up.
You slowly let go.

🎙 Failures is a raw, no-fluff podcast about the mistakes, setbacks, and uncomfortable truths that shape strong men.

A lot of young men aren’t being themselves anymore... They’re performing.

In this episode of Failures, Rich and Justin break down the performative male problem. The quiet identity crisis where men shape-shift personalities, opinions, and behaviors just to be liked, accepted, or validated.

From being the “smartest guy in the room,” to the loud overcompensator, to the guy who tries too hard to impress women, this episode explores how approval-seeking slowly destroys confidence, respect, and self-identity.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted pretending to be someone you’re not, this episode is for you.

Most men don’t hate other men.
They hate the version of themselves they haven’t become yet.

In this episode of Failures, Rich and Justin break down the silent crisis of male jealousy — the kind that shows up when another man has more money, more confidence, better relationships, a stronger physique, or a life that feels further ahead.

Instead of calling jealousy “toxic,” we reframe it for what it really is:
information, pressure, and unrealized potential.

You’ll learn:

• Why men are wired to compete (and why denying it makes things worse)
• The difference between resentful jealousy and healthy competition
• How comparison turns dangerous when you don’t pick a lane
• Why social media amplifies envy and kills motivation
• How to build an internal scorecard instead of living off external validation
• Why the most dangerous man isn’t the competitor — it’s the observer who never acts

This episode is for the man who feels behind, frustrated, or quietly angry — and wants to turn that feeling into momentum instead of resentment.

If you’ve ever felt jealous of another man, this episode isn’t here to shame you.
It’s here to show you what to do next.

Men today are giving more than ever—working long hours, carrying the load at home, fixing every problem… yet still feeling overlooked, dismissed, or outright disrespected.

In this episode, Rich & Justin break down The Respect Gap — the growing divide between what men give and what they get back. From relationships, to workplaces, to society at large, millions of men are quietly struggling with feeling unseen and undervalued.

We get into:

• Why men are exhausted from giving with no acknowledgment
• How “bare minimum” culture undermines male effort
• The rise of contempt in relationships
• Why boundaries are the first step to gaining respect
• How men accidentally signal they can be disrespected
• Self-respect as the foundation of every other respect you receive
• Real stories: disrespect at work, at home, in public
• What healthy masculine boundaries look like
• Actionable steps every man can take today to regain respect
