The Honesty Experiment9 Apr 2025

HIT with Dallas (childhood trauma, cancer, alcoholism, divorce)

Feel like your past keeps showing up in your relationships, your work, or the way you talk to yourself?

In this raw and real episode, Eric sits down with Dallas Collis, a man who faced down childhood trauma, addiction, the loss of his marriage, and cancer all in one year; only to come out the other side sharper, stronger, and finally free.

They unpack the hidden trauma most men carry, how it leads to burnout, and why “just trying harder” isn’t enough. Dallas shares the hard truth: if you don’t take ownership of your life, your story will run you, and ruin you.

If you’re ready to stop blaming others and start leading your life with purpose and presence, this conversation is your wake-up call.

Listen in to learn:

Why trauma affects high-performing men more than they think
How blame and addiction show up as “normal”
Why Stoicism alone won’t save you, and what will
The difference between the mind and the “story mind”
Daily habits to rebuild discipline, clarity, and control
What to do when you feel like giving up

This is for those ready to level up their mental game, rebuild their focus, and get honest about what’s not working.

If you want to learn how to own your story instead of being owned by it, this is your episode.
