episode 17: Amplifying Those In the Spotlight: How Men Can Find Joy & Fulfillment in Supporting Strong Women with Former Google+ Producer, Tyler Stevens (Mother’s Day Special)
For those of you who find yourselves in competition with your partner because you feel overshadowed or underappreciated by them, know that your value is determined not by your role but by the relationship you have with your desired outcomes. Today, with the help of my guest, Content Creator & Communications Expert Tyler Stevens, I’ll be showcasing the attitude shift that will help you become empowered no matter your position. And I’ll tell you right now, it’s very redeeming. Our conversation unpacks the “secret sauce” behind Tyler’s relentless commitment of service to others, how true leadership is ultimately about uplifting those around you, and why this standard breeds true fulfillment from within. Join us as we sip ANGEL’S ENVY BOURBON NEAT and dig into the insights you need to know to find satisfaction whether you’re currently in the shadows or out in the spotlight.
Wise Words from this episode:
- Strength comes in many different forms; the more open you are to deciphering which kind is needed in a given moment, the more successful you’ll be. In other words, the deciding mark of an accomplished man is his ability to surrender the need for control and release rigid definitions of personal strength to achieve the goal at hand.
- Men are meant to help facilitate goals for their partners, their families, and their businesses. Are you operating in this kind of facilitation mode or are you coming at it from a direction mainly meant to boost your ego?
- Men have a habit of considering themselves lesser-than if what they say isn’t listened to or respected; don’t fall for this yourself! It’s a false belief that only serves to break men away from intimacy and connection, leaving them constantly seeking validation while fearing failure. If ever in doubt, ask yourself: are you really being helpful or are you simply trying to be right?
- If you think serving is beneath you, then leadership is far beyond you
- It can be a hard truth to swallow but you need to know that it’s not always about you. It’s only once a man accepts this that he can truly find freedom with the powerful women and people in his life.
- Ambitious people crave an impact so large, they often get lost in the vastness of their goal. But Tyler declares the importance of “shrinking your world and thinking smaller" － meaning, be the best you can be in each small moment and your power/impact will actually greatly benefit.
