Most men are taught how to be strong, disciplined, and productive. Very few are taught how to feel. In this conversation, we unpack what really happens when men suppress their emotions, why so many high-performing men feel numb, and whether “not feeling” is actually strength or just survival. If you’re a man striving for success and wondering why things still feel off, this might sound uncomfortably familiar. If you love, work with, or are trying to understand a driven man, this conversation will help you see what’s really going on beneath the surface. This episode isn’t about being soft. It’s about capacity, leadership, and the cost of emotional suppression. 📩 Business inquiries: billing@realsocialproof.com 🔥 Subscribe for more episodes. 👥 Join The Social Proof Community: 🚀 The Morning Meetup: http://themorningmeetup.com 🔥 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more real conversations Follow David on IG https://www.instagram.com/dshands/ 👇 Comment your biggest takeaway 📤 Share this with someone who’s going through a storm 📌 Subscribe for more real, unfiltered conversations

You can do everything right and still get nothing back at first. No applause. No deposits. Just pressure. That’s not failure, that’s the test. Most people quit right there. If you keep going anyway, the season eventually changes. That’s when the rewards stop making sense. #FYP #EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessTruth #RiskAndReward #SocialProofPodcast
