#67: Why You Should Be Self-Inflicting Challenge… | Chris Griffin Q&A
About this episode
Welcome to another solo Q&A episode! A very raw and unfiltered chat. I opened up about everything from navigating confusion and anxiety to the lonely season of life I am in, the importance of pain, what it means to be a strong man today and much, much more.
If you’re in the thick of it right now - building, doubting, or questioning what’s next - this one’s for you.
Key Discussion Points:
Why pain is necessary for growth
The lonely chapter and what it really means
Navigating anxiety without letting it define you
Masculinity, challenge, and modern relationships
Plate spinning vs. laser focus
Regaining momentum when you feel off track
