A-Game Unfiltered

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew dive into some of the big questions you’ve sent in, covering everything from why practicing gratitude feels awkward at first, to how to stop letting external events—like your football team losing—ruin your weekend.
They also discuss when it’s time to step back from toxic people (or just people who aren’t aligned with your goals anymore) and why making small shifts in mindset can have a huge impact on your daily life.

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew dive into the powerful lessons from The Courage to Be Disliked and why so many men hold themselves back because of fear—fear of judgment, fear of failure, and fear of not being ‘ready’. We unpack why waiting for the perfect conditions is just another excuse, how self-sabotage often hides behind good intentions, and why caring less about what others think is a game-changer for growth.
