Ep 21 Use Addiction to Your Advantage

Chasing Masculinity

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores Rule 19: Use Addiction to Your Advantage, challenging the common belief that addiction is inherently destructive. Instead of viewing addiction as something to avoid, this episode redefines it as a powerful tool that, when harnessed correctly, can drive discipline, growth, and achievement.
This conversation breaks down the concept of spiraling, explaining how addiction can either lead to a downward cycle of destruction or an upward cycle of success. By identifying positive addictions - such as fitness, learning, and self-improvement - men can create habits that reinforce strength and resilience. The key is diligence: pushing through discomfort until discipline turns into compulsion and success becomes inevitable.
The episode provides practical strategies for building beneficial addictions, including setting milestones, seeking accountability, and tracking progress. Listeners are challenged to choose one area of life to develop a positive addiction and commit to pushing through the early resistance phase to create lasting change.
Tune in to discover how controlling addiction, rather than being controlled by it, can be one of the greatest assets in a man’s life.
