this episode is about momentum, restraint, and what actually builds trust — in work, relationships, and yourself.
author opens with a brief update on cuffed’s growth, the upcoming subscription change, and why every subscriber has been earned the hard way. no shortcuts. no borrowed audiences.
from there, we break down the top-performing social posts of the week and why they resonated — especially the difference between conflict and avoidance, calm versus adrenaline, and why safety matters more than intensity.
the second half of the episode connects those ideas to recent musings:
- fatherhood as vigilance, not fear
- projected presence and emotional gravity
- oversharing + the cost of giving access too early
we close with a preview of m.62, a sharp look at why men often become who they’re rewarded for being — and why that conversation makes people uncomfortable on both sides.
this isn’t commentary. it’s pattern recognition.
mentioned in this episode
- m.59 — fatherhood as vigilance
