📅 Episode 175 | The Shadows Podcast
🧠 PERSONa Month Series
Who has higher emotional intelligence: Tony Stark or Iron Man? 🤔 Suit up for an in-depth emotional intelligence breakdown of one of the most complex heroes in the Marvel Universe.
In this episode, host Tripp Bodenheimer takes you on a journey from the cave to the gauntlet—exploring how Tony Stark transforms from a narcissistic billionaire to the ultimate sacrificial hero, all through the lens of Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence framework.
💥 This episode breaks down 4 key EQ pillars:
Self-Awareness – “I built this chaos… now what?”
Self-Regulation – The emotional armor of perfectionism, avoidance, and over-functioning
Social Skills & Empathy – Ultron, trust issues, and the messy art of collaboration
Emotional Growth & Sacrifice – From ego to empathy, from “I am Iron Man” to “You can rest now.”
🧠 Whether you’re leading a team, parenting through burnout, or questioning your own identity, this episode is for you. Don’t miss this Marvel-sized deep dive into what real transformation looks like when we take the mask off.

You don’t become Iron Man when you build the suit.
