what if people actually knew that I had
tons of flaws would they still accept me
when they still love me would they still
listen to me and be my friend so let me
break it down for more men so they can
understand what’s holding them back from
their truest self and their greatest
dreams when men in general don’t feel
like they can communicate internal
challenges arise and then it comes into
physical and outward challenges as well
and that’s when I started realized wow
I’ve been wearing a mask throughout my
entire life I’ve been wearing different
types of masks we know when to use it
when it can drive and fuel us to help us
achieve our dreams and help create
better relationships so if it fuels us
into achieving our dreams and creating
better relationships put it on as much
as you want when should we take it off
when it’s hurting yourself and it’s
hurting other people if you’re wearing
it and it’s not benefiting yourself and
everyone else around you it’s time to
take it off it’s time to be aware of a
different mass to put on or complete
take it off completely and be you’re
vulnerable real self
people are going to constantly judge us
whether we go after big dreams or do
nothing we’re gonna be judged either way
if we sit on a couch all day our parents
and our friends gonna be you’re lazy
do something with your life if we go
chase after the most audacious dreams we
have a lot of people are gonna attack us
and try to bring us down so we might as
well go do something with our lives and
say thank you for the feedback and move
on some things will land other things
will just bounce right off and it’s our
duty and responsibility to be able to
move forward and and be discerning of
the information we receive have a close
group of people that we really trust who
can cipher some of the information and
give the feedback that is worthy and
then try to learn apologize move on
that’s all we can do if you have an
opinion and you just shout your opinion
and say you’re wrong I’m right and this
is the way it should be most people
aren’t gonna listen to that unless those
unless of us you’re speaking to the
choir yes you’re gonna rally the troops
who believe in that but if you want to
make real change listen to everyone else
who doesn’t believe in that the reason
why you know I believe that Democrats
didn’t win it’s because they weren’t
willing to listen now I’m not saying
there’s one party right or wrong or
whatever like I’m not it’s not even
about that for me it’s like just be open
to listening to someone else was a
completely different point of view and
see where they’re coming from I believe
the greatest leaders in the world know
how to understand where any person is
coming from and can connect and
communicate on their level as opposed to
expecting that person to connect and
communicate on the leaders level and
when they can connect to someone on any
level that they’re at that’s when you
can create change in my opinion that’s
when you can come together that’s when
you can have some meaningful
conversation and see how you can work
together as opposed to working apart and
that’s where I think as as men and human
beings in general it’s our mission to
learn how to be an effective leader in
life
a leader with our families with our
communities and with ourselves and if we
don’t understand how to communicate
properly and listen listen that is the
key to creating real change creating
impact getting people to take action
the definition of masculinity is living
in service being in service to others
and to humanity
we’ve been given so much just to be on
this earth that’s the way I choose to
look at life is I’ve been given so much
even if I went through so many
challenges I’ve been given a lot I feel
like it’s my responsibility to leave a
legacy by making humanity better and
making the world better in any way that
I possibly can because I was given so
much by just entering the world and
that’s the way I choose to look at it so
a masculine man is someone who lives in
service who comes from a place of
win-win of we’re all in this together
and someone who lifts others up around
them and you need to have a group of
boys who are educated we’re educated by
in my opinion loving powerful women and
I was so grateful that I had two older
sisters and an amazing mother who
constantly would like come back from
these dates like my sisters would come
back from dates and be like never do
this Lewis you know they would like tell
me like never do this and so I learned
early on like oh you don’t treat women
this way and there’s a certain way to be
in the world and so I think I was
blessed enough to have kind of that
experience in that relationship with
women early on that taught me how to
treat just humans with respect not women
in general but I mean human beings all
humans and that’s what it is I think
it’s first education and I think women
are the most incredible humans in the
world
I feel like women are just more wired
that way in general obviously a lot of
men are as well but I feel like that
love that support that softness that
sweetness if the world had more of that
support there would be so much less wars
less fighting less conflict less arguing
just with that way of being in general
from you know just the love that women
bring
and I interviewed everyone and said what
does it mean to be a man in your mind I
just wanted to get opinions and feedback
and hear people because my way is not
the right wing’s
and I just want to make it simple and
easy for men to understand maybe why
they’ve become who they are how it
supported them how it doesn’t support
them and then also there’s a section the
end of every chapter for women on how
they can understand the men in their
lives a little bit better and how to get
them the steps they can take to get the
man to take the mask off without making
them wrong which is the most important
thing when a man feels like we’re wrong
for who we are it doesn’t feel good so
how can you come from a place of such
understanding and love where they just
like oh I don’t need this on anymore
like you’re not gonna leave me you
accept me you love me cool I don’t need
it and that’s what it comes down to most
people don’t feel like they’re gonna be
accepted
if you’re a young entrepreneur who’s got
a startup idea a product idea you’re
gonna be very driven to getting the
press good accomplishments get hit
certain marks hit certain financial
goals so that you can you know live
another month and pay your team and do
those do these things so you’re gonna be
driven pretty much at all costs to
generate revenue to get attention to get
your product out there maybe burning
some relationships and trying to
leverage too much that’s gonna help ask
for too much promotion two things if
it’s hurting relationships and it’s
hurting your dream it’s time to take it
off if it’s not for the betterment of
all and it’s hurting your health I feel
like it’s time to take it off when
you’re wearing a mask you don’t want
feedback you want to know that your
rights but your way is the right way
because it’s been working for you so
asking someone hey how I show up for you
you know if you can’t have an open
conversation if you don’t feel good
about that email someone and say hey I
just want to get some feedback you know
I’m not gonna get upset I want you to uh
speak openly to me but could you write a
list of like five things that I do
really well five things that you feel
like are holding me back and from our
relationship from my relationship with
other people and from my dreams start
there you’re gonna get so much and say I
want you to be completely honest again
it’s just one person’s opinion but it’s
their perception and perception is
reality to that person it’s never going
to be perfect but I like to scale things
and just rate and evaluate give me
feedback I welcome feedback how can I
make it better how can I improve how can
I grow because I don’t feel like if
we’re just not getting feedback then we
think we know it all we think we’re like
already smart as we need to be and I
know I’m never the smartest person in
the room and I just welcome information
and feedback some things land some
things go right behind me but I’m
constantly a demand for feedback in my
life
[Music]
follow and pursue your dreams what’s the
point of life if we don’t have a dream
and if we’re not in pursuit I don’t care
if I ever achieve my dream but I’ve got
to be in that pursuit because that’s
where I learn the most that’s where I
have the most amazing times that’s where
I explored and venture and travel and
connect with people that I’d never meet
because I’m following my dreams live in
service and give back we entered this
world for some reason most of us will
never be able to fully understand what
that reason is
maybe we think we know but who knows if
it’s the actual truth we’re here for a
reason for us to it’s a big playground
and if we don’t give back to the world
and live a life of service to so many
thousands of people who have supported
us and getting to where we’re at before
us then I feel like we’re doing a
disservice to the world so follow your
dreams master your health and live a
life to service
you
