When’s the last time you gave yourself permission to slow down? For Emmett Kilduff, founder of Pitstop, it was a major health scare that inspired him to leave behind a demanding career and build a life rooted in purpose and well-being. In this episode, we explore how Pitstop harnesses the power of intentional pauses to help men break free from societal expectations and focus on what really matters.
Our discussion highlights the cultural barriers that make it difficult for men to be vulnerable, the importance of adopting a growth mindset, and the vital role of community support in fostering emotional growth and connection. If you’ve been feeling stuck or in need of a reset, this episode is for you!
