Men, it's time we have the conversation you've been avoiding. The one about your ego. More specifically, why your ego is holding you back from having a successful career, a thriving relationship, and quality friendships with people who actually matter to you.

My good friend Scott Holliday joins us today to talk about his struggles overcoming his ego and his journey of learning to communicate his thoughts and emotions more clearly and effectively. If you know Scott, you know this guy is huge. I (Sean) am 6'2 215 and Scott puts me to shame.

Scott's natural skill for bodybuilding became a blessing and a curse in his life and it wasn't until recently that he started to address his communication issues, primarily due to his girlfriend Megan Davis, who you all are very familiar with by now! Scott's determination to have a thriving relationship with Megan led him down a path where he reached out for coaching, did the hard internal work addressing his past, and has come out on the other side a better man, friend, and boyfriend.

Whether you are a man or have a special man in your life you want the best for, this episode is an absolute eye opener when it comes to the male ego, how men typically display and communicate emotions, and the detriment those actions lead to if action isn't taken like Scott wisely did.
