EP 194: Men Over 40: Why the Strongest Men ServeWhat does real strength look like for a man over 40?
Real strength after 40 isn't only about physical strength, money, status, or accomplishments. It's having the physical, mental, and emotional capacity to show up when someone you love needs you.
Service means using your strength, time, experience, resources, and leadership to help carry someone else's burden without needing recognition, praise, or anything in return.
And sometimes the most powerful question you can ask yourself is:
Who needs me today?
