  How to Be More Confident: Deposits, Withdrawals & the Trust Bank (Pt. 2)

  Jul 17, 202655 minS1

  What is confidence, really? Most people think confidence means believing in yourself no matter what. We disagree. In this episode of Good Men Trying , we explore why real confidence isn’t blind optimism or bravado. It’s earned trust in your ability to face reality, adapt, and keep moving forward. We discuss the four pillars that build lasting confidence: • Competency • Integrity • Resilience • Self-awareness Along the way, we talk about parenting, marriage, friendship, leadership, sports, Simone Biles, Odysseus, and why the strongest people are often the ones willing to admit they don’t have it all figured out. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, questioned your abilities, or wondered how to become the kind of person others can rely on, this conversation is for you. At Good Men Trying, we’re helping men show up better in the relationships that matter most.

  The Trust Account: What Confidence Actually Is (Part 1)

  Jun 26, 202654 minS1

  What does confidence actually look like for a man in real life — in his marriage, his friendships, his purpose? Not the surface-level stuff. The kind that holds when someone approaches your wife, when your career shakes you, when your inner child starts pulling the strings. In this episode, Marlon, Brett, and Cody sit down (fresh off a basketball run) to unpack one of the most misunderstood words in a man's vocabulary. We challenge the idea that confidence is something you either have or you don't — and offer a definition that actually holds up: confidence is earned trust in your ability to face reality. What we get into: Why confidence is a trust account — and how fast one withdrawal can wipe out years of deposits The difference between innate confidence and manufactured confidence (and why both show up in the same man) Confidence as a husband, a friend, a father, and a creative A deeply personal piece of writing shared live — about a childhood wound, a daughter's answer, and the question every driven man asks himself The four components of confidence (previewed heading into Part 2) Part 2 drops next. We break down the components and the tools. 🎙️ Good Men Trying | Helping men show up in the relationships that matter most. Trying is the point.
