Why do so many men who “do everything right” in personal development—reading books, mastering hacks, hitting big goals—still feel restless, lonely, and purposeless? In this episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Mario Lanzarotti, founder of Aligned Founders and global men’s coach, about the hidden trap of endless self-improvement. Together, they uncover why achievement without alignment leads to burnout, the role of brotherhood in healing, and how faith and trust can reshape a man’s inner and outer world. This conversation is raw, direct, and a reminder that masculinity is not about carrying the weight alone. About the Guest  : Mario Lanzarotti is the founder of Aligned Founders, a global movement helping male entrepreneurs grow their businesses without losing themselves in the process. He has coached over 2,000 men worldwide, delivered a TEDx talk with nearly 3 million views, and built a coaching practice rooted in alignment, trust, and brotherhood over hustle. Key Takeaways:   Personal development can be powerful, but for many men it begins from dissatisfaction and the belief that they are “not enough.” Self-improvement often becomes a mask for pain—achievements bring temporary highs but not lasting peace. Warning signs of hidden struggle include nervous system overload, reliance on stimulants or suppressants, burnout, and disconnection in relationships. Brotherhood is not about fixing each other but about not carrying the weight alone—opening up allows men to unlock healing and clarity. Faith and trust, whether in God, Source, or inner wisdom, create alignment and more conscious action. Service to others shifts focus away from self-obsession and opens the door to resilience and purpose. First step for men feeling stuck: ask, “What is it costing me to live this way?” and recognize how self-doubt keeps you trapped. Liberation starts with slowing down, listening inwardly, and allowing guidance to shape aligned action.
