Great Men Go Through Great Struggles | Stop Running From the Refinement : 1PM #078Description
Episode Summary (Show Notes):
In this solo episode, Bertrand goes all in on the real price of becoming a great man. From post-workout clarity to late-night therapy insights, he opens up about the emotional weight of building legacy, breaking generational curses, and carrying pressure most men never survive.
After a heartfelt conversation with viral freestyle artist Ray Wimley, one quote stuck:
"Great men go through great struggles."
And Bertrand breaks down exactly why that’s true.
This isn’t just another motivational pep talk. This is a real, raw transmission from a man walking through the fire—processing generational trauma, carrying business goals, fatherhood, past pain, and future vision—all without a blueprint.
Highlights:
Why every man needs to be fit and functionally dangerous, not just for looks but for life
The truth about chasing greatness: the stress isn’t optional—it’s built into the call
Why most lottery winners lose it all (and what that teaches us about pressure)
The "ether test": why life turns up the heat after you declare who you want to become
Why your current struggles are the battles your father or grandfather ran from
Understanding the difference between being a victim of the past and a builder of the future
One key mindset shift that instantly helps you stop drowning in stress
Affirmation of the Day:
“I am going through great struggles so I can become a great man.”
