#67: Why You Should Be Self-Inflicting Challenge… | Chris Griffin Q&A
Welcome to another solo Q&A episode! A very raw and unfiltered chat. I opened up about everything from navigating confusion and anxiety to the lonely season of life I am in, the importance of pain, what it means to be a strong man today and much, much more.
If you’re in the thick of it right now - building, doubting, or questioning what’s next - this one’s for you.
Key Discussion Points:
- Why pain is necessary for growth
- The lonely chapter and what it really means
- Navigating anxiety without letting it define you
- Masculinity, challenge, and modern relationships
- Plate spinning vs. laser focus
- Regaining momentum when you feel off track
