[#252] Ask Dan Anything! Your Confidence Building Questions Answered

Dan Munro outlines his Philosophy of Integrity in full for the first time.

This philosophy emphasizes individual self-discovery and the absence of rigid rules. Integrity is defined as consistency and honesty, while confidence is described as a deep-seated belief in oneself. The philosophy posits that increasing integrity leads to greater confidence and a better life.

Munro identifies core values as subjective principles guiding your behavior in a way that will improve your confidence and the lives of those around you, such as honesty, courage, and responsibility. He stresses the importance of aligning your everyday actions with your values, continuous adaptation of your values, and the rejection of instant gratification for long-term benefits.

Munro also highlights the influence of various philosophers and thinkers on this philosophy.

At the end, you will get a step by step practical guide for living by with integrity:

Action Items
[ ] Identify your core values.
[ ] Create a guiding principle or definition for each value.
[ ] Test and measure how well you are living by your values, and refine them as needed.
[ ] Treat each day as an opportunity to experiment with living more by your values.
[ ] Use the 3x model of curiosity, honesty, and respect to continuously enhance your wisdom about living with integrity.

In this episode, we discuss manipulation, defining it as controlling or influencing someone, which can be neutral or malicious depending on intent and outcome.

Manipulation is constant and subjective, occurring when someone changes behavior in response to emotional discomfort. It's vital to start recognizing manipulation by its impact on quality of life and engage in strategies like maintaining original plans, questioning intentions, and being assertive.

We'll look at the importance of endurance and making manipulation uncomfortable for the manipulator.

[#255] On Manipulation: How People Influence and Control You

Emotional pain is unavoidable—but how you handle it determines your confidence, resilience, and overall well-being. Most “Nice Guys” have been taught to suppress their emotions, thinking that sadness, anger, or anxiety make them weak. But real strength comes from facing these feelings head-on without letting them control you.

In this video, I break down how to stop fearing emotional pain and start using it as a tool for personal growth. You’ll learn:

Why suppressing emotions creates suffering (and how to stop)
A simple technique to process feelings without overthinking them
How to turn emotions like anger, sadness, and fear into productive action
Why labeling emotions can make them worse—and what to do instead
By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap for handling emotional pain in a way that builds confidence and self-respect, rather than keeping you stuck in Nice Guy habits.

[#256] How to Handle Emotional Pain Like a Man (Without Suppressing It)

Most Nice Guys think anger is a problem—something to suppress or feel ashamed of. But what if anger is actually the key to confidence, assertiveness, and a meaningful life? In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden power of anger and why suppressing it leads to depression, resentment, and passive aggression.

You’ll learn:
🔥 Why Nice Guys struggle with anger and how it sabotages their self-respect
🔥 The real reason you feel stuck, frustrated, or unmotivated
🔥 How to channel anger into confidence, courage, and boundary-setting
🔥 The difference between healthy anger and destructive rage

If you've ever felt like a pushover, struggled to stand up for yourself, or exploded after holding things in too long, this video is for you. Anger isn’t the enemy—it’s your greatest untapped resource. Watch until the end to learn how to express it in a powerful, constructive way.

👉 Comment below: What’s your relationship with anger? Do you suppress it, explode, or use it effectively? Let’s talk.

[#257] You’ve Been Lied to About Anger—How to Use It to Build Confidence

If you constantly feel anxious at work, overloaded with tasks, or stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing—this video is for you. Many Nice Guys struggle with setting boundaries, both in the workplace and with family. The result? They get walked all over, burned out, and feel like they’re never good enough.

In this episode, we break down:
✔️ The real reason your boss keeps piling work on you (and why you can’t say no)
✔️ Why people-pleasing makes you less respected, not more
✔️ How manipulative or critical parents keep you stuck in self-doubt
✔️ Practical strategies to set boundaries and regain control of your life

The hard truth? If you don’t change your approach, people will keep taking advantage of you—because they can. But once you start prioritizing yourself, everything shifts. You’ll gain respect, reduce stress, and finally start living life on your own terms.

In this powerful episode of the Brojo podcast, Dan Munro sits down with Kijuan Amey, a U.S. Air Force veteran whose life took a dramatic turn on May 5, 2017. At just 25 years old, Kijuan was thriving—building a career he loved, starting a business, and chasing his dream of becoming a pilot. But one tragic motorcycle accident changed everything, leaving him blind and with life-altering injuries.

Rather than giving in to despair, Kijuan chose a different path: resilience.

In this candid and inspiring conversation, he opens up about waking from a coma, discovering the truth about his condition, and facing the emotional and physical toll of starting over. From rock climbing and downhill skiing to public speaking and writing a book, Kijuan proves that limits are often self-imposed—and meant to be broken.

His message is clear: don’t focus on what you’ve lost—focus on what you can still do, and do it with everything you’ve got.

👉 Kijuan’s story will challenge your excuses and light a fire under your goals.
