Trust, Credibility and the Power of Checklists

In this episode of the Man of War Podcast, Ben Reinberg shares what most men overlook—the silent killers of potential: comfort, avoidance, and fear of failure.

We dive into why so many men hide behind a version of success that isn't real, why playing it safe leads to a slow death of purpose, and how true growth requires discomfort, intention, and powerful male guidance.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like you’re not living at your full capacity, this conversation offers clarity and direction. The truth is, resilience starts with facing what’s hard, not running from it. Strength begins when you stop negotiating with your weaknesses and start demanding more from yourself.
