066: Becoming a Man of Excellence with Jeff Higgins

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Jeff Higgins, an investor, trader, and Co-Owner of Fraternity of Excellence, an online community of real men seeking excellence in all areas of manhood. Listen in as Jeff and I talk about how to become a man of excellence and lean into the power of discomfort.

Jeff breaks down a few frameworks and tactics you can use to get out of your comfort zone and figure out where you want to move forward in life. He speaks on how to reach financial freedom, 3 things that are likely holding you back from excellence, and the key area of life you should focus on if you feel lost or rock bottom.

"If you believe you have control over your circumstances, over your well-being, over your happiness, you are now empowered to live the life you want to. If you're finger-pointing, you never have a chance to change that." – Jeff Higgins
