This episode isn't polished. It’s not what I planned. It’s what needed to be said.

Today, I’m getting brutally honest about:

- Why I’ve been inconsistent

- How excuses dress up as "reasons"

- The real reason I quit drinking

- What it *really* takes to pursue what you say you want

- Why being aggressive might be your superpower, not your flaw

This is a raw reflection on personal change, identity, and the grind no one wants to talk about — the boring, painful, daily truth of self-reinvention.

Key Takeaways

- If you’re not willing to *work* for it, stop pretending you *want* it.

- Clarity doesn’t come from goals, it comes from honesty.

- Cutting out what *doesn’t* serve you may be the hardest part.

- True freedom means radical ownership of your time, body, and choices.

- You will offend people when you stop making excuses, and that’s okay.

Ready to stop lying to yourself and start showing up? This is the episode you needed to hear.

In this raw and emotional episode of Old Man Energy, Flint Anderson breaks from the usual format to confront a wave of national tragedy—from the assassination of Charlie Kirk to senseless murders ignored by passive bystanders.

Flint asks the hard questions: Where are the men? Why are we so afraid to speak truth? What happens when good men do nothing?

He shares deeply personal stories—from conversations with his son Ashton, to the heartbreaking footage of murder victims dying alone while others stand by. This is a message of anger, sorrow, love, and a call to arms—not to violence, but to strength, responsibility, and action.

🔥 It's time to become the monster who chooses kindness.💪 Be strong enough to protect, loud enough to speak truth, and wise enough to lead.
