In this thought-provoking episode, Vaughn and 18 year old son, Xavier delve into the profound significance of cultivating "quiet confidence" among young men. Quiet confidence involves letting go of the societal pressures to always appear right, strong, and tough, and instead, embracing vulnerability, kindness, and consideration for others. Through engaging discussions and real-life anecdotes, we explore how this shift can lead to happier, more authentic lives.
