Les Brown: From Humble Beginnings to Big Impact

How to Master Your Emotions and Unlock Unstoppable Power

What if the real strength you’ve been searching for isn’t about control, it’s about release? In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together some of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever had about emotional mastery, healing, and the kind of resilience that transforms pain into power. You’re going to hear from men who’ve walked through darkness, faced loss, battled their inner demons, and came out stronger, not by suppressing emotion, but by finally learning how to feel.

Jason Wilson opens up about the true cost of hyper-masculinity and why the most courageous thing a man can do is cry, heal, and lead from his heart. Lewis Howes shares how facing childhood trauma set him free and how vulnerability became the gateway to real strength. Sean Casey reveals how mastering his emotional state, pitch by pitch, created longevity and excellence in the game of life. Les Brown walks us through the power of forgiveness, reminding us that anger is a wind that blows out the lamp of the mind. Brian Dawkins shares how he channeled emotion into focused energy, becoming one of the fiercest competitors and most grounded men I’ve ever met. And James Lawrence, the Iron Cowboy, shows what happens when the mind adapts and the heart refuses to quit, even when the body breaks down.

Every one of these conversations points back to one truth I’ve learned over and over again: mastering your emotions doesn’t mean controlling them, it means owning them. It’s learning when to fight, when to cry, and when to let go. It’s realizing that emotional intelligence is the foundation of every championship performance, every strong relationship, and every fulfilled life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in anger, fear, or shame, this episode will help you see that your emotions aren’t your enemy, they’re your greatest teachers. Healing begins when you stop pretending you’re fine and start getting real about what’s inside. Because the moment you master your emotions, you unlock your next level of peace, clarity, and power.
