Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where identity, awareness, and leadership collide.

Today’s topic?
The real reason men lose themselves chasing the wrong version of success.

There’s a performance being sold as power.

Shout louder
Lift heavier
Push harder

All while losing the people who mattered most in the first place.

This week’s podcast is raw. It’s not about six-pack abs or mansions. It’s about purpose.

Why are you doing all this?
And what is it costing you?

Listen to the full episode
This might ruffle some feathers. That’s the point.

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. The loudest man in the room is usually performing
   Real power moves in silence

2. You can be fit and still broken
   Wealthy and still empty

3. You don’t need to impress the world
   You need to lead the people you love

4. Success without family, peace, and purpose
   Is not success

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. Chasing other people’s version of success will leave you lost
   Figure out what really matters to you

2. A strong life starts with strong priorities
   And Instagram isn’t one of them

3. You don’t need to burn it all down to build something new
   You just need to build with intention

4. Masculinity is not volume
   It’s consistency, presence, and purpose

4 Challenges for You This Week

1. Ask yourself what success looks like to you
   Write it down. Don’t copy anyone else

2. Audit what you’re chasing
   Do you even want it?

3. Tell the truth about what’s working in your life
   And what’s not

4. Listen to the podcast
   This one is different. It’s not hype. It’s real

You don’t have to scream to be strong
You just have to lead

To building with purpose,
