In this week’s episode of Man: A Quest to Find Meaning, I sit down with Stefan Hines, a former British Army veteran turned business and life coach, to discuss how embracing vulnerability can be a powerful strength—especially in leadership and personal growth.
We explore the difference between vulnerability and weakness, and why being open about our struggles actually makes us stronger. Stefan shares his life audit exercise, a practical tool to help you reflect on your life and identify what truly brings you joy and purpose. He also introduces the Hero’s Journey method, a unique way to reframe your past experiences and intentionally design the next phase of your life.

Additionally, we dive into daily mindset practices for improving mental well-being, managing stress, and aligning your actions with your purpose. From the power of breathwork to focusing only on what you can control and influence, Stefan shares powerful strategies to help you gain clarity and confidence in your journey.
