WHY THE SPARK WITH HER DIED You feel lit up by a new idea... clear, alive, inspired. But when you share it? She hits you with questions. Wants the plan...the timeline. She doesn't understand. You feel attacked. She feels anxious. You shut down. And the fire? Gone. 👇 This is how it happens: LBE — Little Bitch Energy The scared part of you that folds to keep the peace. You seek permission instead of standing in clarity. LCE — Little Cunt Energy The scared part of her that grabs control to avoid being left. Two scared kids, managing each other’s fear. No polarity. No fire. Just logistics. You’re not lovers anymore. You’re business partners with benefits. Want to change that? Stop managing her emotions. Start mastering your own. Lead you. Then lead her. The spark comes back after you reconnect with your own fire. Comment “LBE” or “LCE” if this hit. Let’s reclaim something real.

“If you’re a man, with weight on your shoulders…” Let’s break the stigma

Here's what one of the guys had to say about experiencing the Proof of Heart process. "A few months did more for me than twenty years of therapy. Brandon cuts through the bullshit, gets right to the heart of it, and somehow brings out this raw fucking version of yourself that felt buried. ​ And from that new place, you just do what needs to be done. It's powerful. You leave changed."

"He wore stoicism like armor, believing it made him invincible. But inside, he was a storm yearning to be acknowledged. They told him to "man up," so he built walls. But within those walls, he lost touch with himself." Most men are taught to suppress emotions. But suppressed emotions don't disappear. they control you from the shadows. You can’t lead others if you’re hiding from your own emotions. Face them. Own them. Because emotional numbness isn't strength. It's a barrier to connection and purpose

Anger isn't the problem. Burying it is. When you feel it and face it, on your terms, it becomes your fuel ⛽️ Not chaos. Not destruction. Instead, it becomes your Power! Your emotions aren't your weakness. They are the ignition switch. 🚀🎇

You’ve secured your wealth on the outside. But you’re bankrupt on the inside. You know how to hodl through volatility, but not how to feel through your isolation or pain. You’ve locked away your stack… …but in the process, you locked away your heart as well, and with it, your ability to connect deeply. So you self-medicate. With work. With beer. With porn. With some dopamine drip to keep you grinding while pretending it’s all “part of the plan.” You say you’re building toward freedom. But deep down, you still feel owned. By her unmet expectations. By the tension in your life you haven’t confronted. By the part of you that’s terrified to feel anything real. This is fiat masculinity: > responsibility without nurture, > discipline without connection, > performance without peace. It’s time to upgrade the OS. From the inside out. Proof of Heart begins here

This right here!! Dr. Gabor Mate spells out the four things the body and mind need to prevent it from attacking itself, literally. It’s not what you think. View quoted note →

Can gratitude and positivity be hurting you? They can, if it prevents you from feeling what’s Really there… Because you can’t selectively numb. Shut down sadness, you lose access to joy. Suppress your frustration, and you kill your creativity. Deny your anger, and peace stays out of reach. Brandon helped me see this. It changed everything. Embrace the FEELS. They are your FUEL.

Clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder. It comes from feeling what you’ve been avoiding. Recently, Ive realized how I use logic to avoid pain. All this time I thought I was being so ‘strategic’….always thinking my way out of situations. Instead of feeling it…the fear, the uncertainty. My mentor calls all the excessive thinking “mental masturbation” What problem in your life are you mentally jacking off too? Bitcoin rewards Proof of Work. I’m rewarding #ProofOfHeart. 500 sats to the man who says what he usually hides.

My mentor Brandon has uncovered an unfortunate truth through his work work with men over two decades: “The price of neglecting our emotions is often much higher than we anticipate." Testing @buzzbot 5000 LFG!

The Ben Tribe is growing! Nothing stops this train. POLL: Will there be more Ben’s or women at the Bitcoin conference? @₿en Wehrman @Ben Justman🍷

Proof of WORK secures your WEALTH Proof of HEART secures your WORTH. Without wealth, you’re dependent. Without worth, you’re hollow. Sovereignty demands both.

You’re not burned out. You’re just tired of pretending. There’s a difference. Jim Carrey said that Anger and Sadness are your body saying ‘I don’t want to hold up this avatar you’ve created in the world any longer.’ What avatar of yours is asking for a break? The grinder? The hustler? The over-giver? The nice guy? The fixer? The Stoic Leader? 1K sats to the most honest and vulnerable reply. Say the thing you usually avoid saying.
