Tripp Lanier is the author of "This Book Will Make You Dangerous" and host of The New Man podcast, which has garnered millions of downloads. He coaches high-achieving men—from small business owners to startup founders to Navy SEALs—helping them escape the rat race and build meaningful careers aligned with their authentic selves. Tripp lives a quiet, simple life with his wife and daughter near the beach in North Carolina.
In this episode, we explore:
- The "finish line" trap - Why successful men often feel empty despite achieving their goals and how the "religion of careers" keeps them stuck in unfulfilling patterns
- Moving from performance to essence - The critical shift from asking "who am I?" to "who am I really?" and how to shed the false identities that no longer serve you
- Fear, integrity, and taking up space - How catastrophic thinking paralyzes high achievers, the importance of developing relationship skills, and what it means to live with true integrity
- From purpose to meaning - The evolution from self-focused achievement to generative contribution, and why meaning trumps purpose in the second half of life
