RMP 219 - The World Needs More Of Your Heart with Quentin “Q” Williams

Aug 18, 2022

“How can you expect others to be there for you if you don’t tell them what you need?”

A lack of assertiveness among men has led to a gluttony of unexpressed men. Today’s guest Quentin “Q” Williams shares the forgotten communication skills needed for whole-hearted, steadfast, and satisfying relationships. As a men’s coach specializing in serving current and retired athletes, Q frequently sees this twisted dynamic, where men put off their own mental and emotional health to help the collective. Jeddy and Q break down this dilemma, and expand on how men can serve with clear boundaries, why hyper-masculinity isn’t sustainable, and how healthy competition is essential to masculine growth. 

Highlights:

  • [04:02] Why a full range of polarity is part of manhood. 
  • [10:27] How assertiveness allows for proper communication of our needs and desires.
  • [14:01] Why it's tough for athletes to put their own mental health FIRST, before the team.
  • [18:38] Is watching sports a waste of time or an opportunity for connection?
  • [21:20] Are there benefits to non-lethal competition?
  • [27:40] What does the hyper-masculine approach miss when it comes to emotions and mental health?
  • [31:40] Can you describe yourself beyond the work you do?
  • [36:25] Does focusing too deeply on your preferred outcome actually hamper your efforts?
  • [40:45] Why getting CRYSTAL CLEAR on the value we bring is key to a joyous life of service.
