What Kind of Man Are You, Really? ft. Sim Chhabra
The alpha-male myth is limiting men more than helping them.
This episode reframes masculinity through self-awareness, emotion, action, and connection.
In this episode, we break down:
- why “alpha male” culture oversimplifies masculinity
- the difference between alpha, beta, omega, and sigma archetypes
- how male identity changes across work, relationships, parenting, and leadership
- a practical 4x4 self-awareness framework for emotional intelligence and personal growth
- how men can better understand themselves without forcing rigid labels
- Hosts: Bradie Whetham
- Guests: Sim Chhabra
This conversation also introduces a practical questionnaire listeners can use to reflect on their traits, tendencies, and areas for growth, along with a complimentary consult option through Horizon Within.
