Show Notes

Episode Summary (Show Notes):

In this raw solo episode, Bertrand delivers a truth most men won’t say out loud — you can’t win this life battle alone.

As a man trying to break generational curses, regulate emotions, build wealth, love deeply, and not lose your mind in the process... the weight is real. And in a world that doesn't give you a blueprint, you need one thing above all: a brother in the fight.

Bertrand unpacks the real-life mental load of being a modern man with ambition — navigating emotions, therapy, trauma, fatherhood, business, spiritual conflict, and the dangerous pull of isolation. He breaks down how to build your support squad: from therapists to business coaches to that one homie who gets it — someone you can vent to without being judged or misunderstood.

He ends with a message to every man still doing it solo:
"If you don’t have a brother right now—write to your Ascension Journal until that man shows up."


Highlights:


Affirmation of the Day:

"One true brother is better than a hundred false ones."

Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Welcome back to the one percent man podcast. My brother, I'm going to tell you something. Get yourself at least one man that's in your corner that's running the similar race than you. Similar race, like you. Because at the end of the day, this life gets hard. This life is hectic, this life is crazy. And I'll tell you this, you're. I don't care if you're married, I don't care if you have a girlfriend. They will not understand some of the reasons why you are going after what you're going after, right? They are not wired like you. They don't understand sometimes, and a lot of times you need another brother in the fight that's going to help you. That's why I created the 1% man community. Because as a man that's going. That's doing a lot of great things. Trying to break generational curses, trying to become a billionaire, trying to build businesses, trying to regulate my emotions, trying to be more emotionally available, trying to understand my past issues so that way my kids don't have to deal with this. These issues. Trying to be a great father, be a great lover, be a great husband, be a great warrior, be great tactician, right? And also not trying to spaz out and go hurt somebody because of emotions that I'm dealing with, right? [00:01:07] And all the stuff that I see for coming in my life, right, That's a lot. It's a lot. I understand. You are trying to do a lot. A lot of lot. And the thing is, you have no blueprint. You've been given no blueprint, and they're saying, okay, hey, here you are. Make it happen. And then along the way, right, you probably got the same speech. Go to college, you're gonna get a job. It's all gonna work out. Then you got to college, you got the job and it didn't work out. [00:01:35] You found out that there was more to life, right? Than all the. Yes. No morals that we've been giving. All the black and white morals that we've been given. Life is gray. And if you don't learn how to function in that gray, you're lost. [00:01:48] It starts to hit you. Reality hits you hard when you understand that, wow, all the. All the. It's delusional. [00:01:56] There's a whole bunch of delusion in society about how things should actually function, how things should actually work, what you should actually care about, right? Because one hand, for example, for myself, my mom is. It's like, Jesus, out. She's like, oh, no, just focus on God. Everything is Going to work out bs. I did the whole. I did that did not work out for me. What you need to focus on though is, is your financial aspects, your financial skills and ability, how much money you can produce and keep. [00:02:28] Because if you can't do that and you live in America and you live in a very economic driven world, which is us, we do, right? If you're listening to this, probably right at the end of the day, but without that money, you can't truly be happy in America, right? Because if you can't pay your rent, you can't pay it with hugs, you can't pay with love, you can't pay it with kisses. Yeah, you could be behind a little bit on payments, but after a while you're going to have to pay the piper. And it is hard for one brother to just deal with that alone. For one man to sit with all that, to have all your aspirations, dreams and goals and everything that you want to do, to just sit there on you and to just think about what you need to do, what you want to accomplish. [00:03:11] Have a brother in the fight, have somebody that's gonna, that's gonna be there when the days get cloudy and hard. You need it, right? You need help. I, I gladly. I was a dude. I was a lone freaking wolf. Lone wolf all the time, lone wolf. Want to do everything myself. Wanted. Didn't want any help, but I needed help. [00:03:30] Even now I got a therapist that I see twice a week that helps me mentally so I can stay sharp, right? I go there, I get to divulge all that darkness. And then I come back into the world and be a little more lighter and learn and get and learn tools and strategies to really deal with the mental aspect of life. Life after the military, right? Second thing, I got a tax person, helps me with tax strategies, how to do that. I got a business coach, helps me how to grow my businesses, right? I have a friend that's an E Comm. He helps me with manufacturing and understanding how it all works, how the econ game works. I have a VA company that hires VA for me, goes and trains them, hires them so that way I can buy back more of my time so I can focus on the bigger grand vision, right? And I also have a friend that I can call if I need to just talk, invent and just share whatever is on my mind and he understands whatever I'm sharing is not, it's not an absolutely who I am, it's just how I'm feeling in the moment. I may just need to get it out because I may not have the ability to go to therapy that day or I may not have the ability to talk to somebody else. But I found some one brother I can trust and I get to share with him. And I'm going to tell you, just find one person you can trust. [00:04:40] And right now, if you don't have brother you can trust, get yourself the Ascension journal and make that your brother that you trust that you able to divulge all that stuff until you can find a physical manifestation of somebody in reality you can talk to and really divulge yourself and really just share the darkest parts of you or if you're angry, if you're a step and even not even just the darkest, the dark side, but the light to the positive your wins someone that isn't going to be envious of you. That's why I say find someone on a similar journey than you. I'm not going to find one of my friends that makes 60k a year. That's happy and that's okay. [00:05:11] I make almost 2, $300,000 a year and I'm still not okay. I'm still not happy. I want more. [00:05:19] Some people tell me, oh no, settle, it's okay. I don't want to settle. I want more. I want billions of dollars. I don't want thousands. I don't want six figures. I want eight figures. I want nine. [00:05:32] That's what I want for my life. What do you want for your life? Find someone that's similar in that process so that way they don't hold you back. [00:05:40] All right. I hope you get the message. Hey, affirmation of the day. One true brother is better than 100 false ones.
