In this episode of The Brotherhood Podcast, Raul Peguero shares a raw, unsettling dream that exposes something many men are living but rarely question.

This is not a conversation about sex.It’s not men versus women.And it’s not about blame.

It’s about a system.

A system that teaches men to measure their worth by attention, validation, performance, and approval and how that system quietly convinces men to break themselves just to feel enough.

Through the lens of this dream, Raul explores how men are pulled away from growth, purpose, and integrity by the endless chase for validation, how power without purpose leaves men hollow, and why so many men sacrifice their values, families, and inner peace in the name of being “chosen.”

This episode is an invitation to wake up.

To question the rules you’ve been living by.To recognize where you’re performing instead of being true and to remember that you don’t have to destroy yourself to be worthy.

Because real strength isn’t found in attention.It’s found in integrity.

Come for the truth.Stay for the brotherhood.

Season Two opens with a grounded conversation about ownership, identity, and becoming.

As the first month of the year comes to a close, Raul reflects on what real growth actually requires not motivation, not resolutions, and not starting over, but continuing the work with honesty and responsibility.

This episode explores what it means to take ownership of your life, release old identities, outgrow certain relationships, and lead from a place of maturity especially as a man, a father, and a leader. Raul shares the truth that while the storms in our lives may not be our fault, repairing the damage is still our responsibility.

This is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself where you really are right now and who you’re ready to become moving forward.

Come for the truth. Stay for the brotherhood.
