Navigating Manhood: Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Responsibility w/ Mike Yarbrough

Being a man is a difficult task. A lot of responsibilities are put upon their shoulder, which they must perform right, whether it is in business or family. But if a boy grew up without people that could show him how to be a man, how could he be a proper man in the future? Often, men who lack manliness cannot properly perform their duty as a man, so they must learn how to become one from men who do it correctly.

Mike Yarbrough founded Wolf and Iron, helping men grow and increase manliness. Mike’s parents divorced when he was a child. Thus, he has no father figure as he grows up. Fortunately, he has grandparents that take care of him. But as he goes through life, Mike finds it hard to be a man and realized that he lacks some manhood, allowing him to start his journey in having manliness. Tune in as Mike shares his path towards manliness, becoming an entrepreneur, being the best you and more!

Quotes:

• “You just have to recognize that pain cannot be avoided. That pain really just means there's something that I don't know. And there's something that told me I'm uncomfortable with that. I need to go figure it out. Because it's always going to be painful if you don’t.” – Mike Yarbrough
• “If you really want to be the best you could be, go see other people who are doing awesome things and be like them.” – Mike Yarbrough
• “The reality is, not only do we have the power to create it, we have an obligation to do so.” – Matt Beaudreau

Takeaways:

• If you feel pain, it just means there is something wrong you are unaware of. Thus, finding the root of the pain and taking action to remove it is what you need to do.
• You'll have a moment when you notice the guys ahead of you. And there are two kinds of them: men who do things right and men who do things wrong. To learn how to manage a family or a business, you must surround yourself with men who do things right no matter what.
• Most people believe that everyone should be themselves. But it is this belief that leads people astray. Be like the person who is achieving fantastic things, and that is when you can be the finest version of yourself.

Conclusion:

If you want to improve your manliness, don’t hesitate to learn from those men who can show you how. Do what is needed to surround yourself with men who can do things right. And be like them so you can be the best version of yourself.
