RMP 150 - Passion Sparks, But Habits Sustain with Johnny Elsasser

Nov 26, 2020

Motivation and passion can give you a jumpstart, but they are fleeting. As a men’s work leader, podcast host, and former US Army Ranger, Johnny Elsasser helps men build practices to SUSTAIN excellence. In the 150th episode of the Rising Man Podcast, we hit the major issues plaguing men today - emotional suppression, limiting beliefs, and avoidant behavior. We also talk about why looking inside can be terrifying, how to overcome societal expectations, and why living from a higher purpose is critical.
