IF 125 - Why Most Men Are Losing (And Don’t Even Know It) w Kenny Johnson

Most men think they’re doing what it takes to win. They’re working hard. Providing for their families. Checking the boxes. But what if that’s not actually winning? In this episode, we break down a powerful leadership principle called the Law of Victory—and why it exposes the gap between trying and actually leading outcomes. You’ll start to see how this shows up in three critical areas of your life: * At home with your family * In how you approach investing * And in the way you run your business Because the reality is you don’t drift into winning. And you don’t lead by accident. If you’ve ever felt like you’re busy but not fully aligned—or successful but still missing something—this episode will challenge the way you think about leadership, responsibility, and what it really means to win where it matters most.
