In Episode 88, Bertrand delivers a raw, soul-checking wake-up call for men who are still waiting on a breakthrough without putting in the work. He breaks down why prayer alone is not a success strategy—and how sitting around “waiting on God” is keeping too many men broke, soft, and stuck.
Bertrand shares the hard lessons he learned walking to work, holding down multiple jobs, helping family, and rebuilding from debt—not by divine rescue, but by relentless execution. This episode challenges every man to stop using faith as an excuse, and start using it as fuel.
