Most guys are willing to admit they’re stressed, overwhelmed, or dealing with stuff internally. But almost none of them actually go talk to someone about it. It shows up in subtle ways too. Coaching calls start drifting into deeper personal territory, and that’s usually where I have to draw a line. I’m not a therapist, and I don’t give psychological advice. But I’ve noticed my approach naturally pushes people to think a level deeper about what’s actually going on. When you slow down and really look at your decisions, patterns start to show up. Why you’re avoiding something, where the pressure is coming from, what’s actually driving certain choices. And a lot of times, what feels like a business problem… isn’t just a business problem. Which made me think, why is it still so hard for men to get that kind of support? I hear cost or time sometimes, but honestly it feels like it’s more about how we’ve been wired to think about it. For example how “needing help = weakness”. From what I’ve seen, it’s actually the opposite. Some of the most solid founders I’ve worked with take their mental health seriously. Therapy, reflection, taking time to understand themselves. Not as a “nice to have,” but because it directly impacts how they show up in their business. At a certain point, it stops being a strategy issue. It becomes a self-awareness issue. Curious, what do you all think… Do you think founders avoid this because of time, money, or just how we’ve been conditioned?

She didn’t start with a brewery. She started with a space. Carmen Velasco-Favela began with a small group—teaching women about craft beer. No big funding. No perfect plan. Just community. That turned into Mujeres Brew House—a space that now represents culture, ownership, and possibility. This is the lesson: 👉 Start small 👉 Build with people 👉 Let demand pull you forward We don’t wait for permission. We build what’s missing. That’s how movements start. 🚀
