Episode Synopsis

Michael and Russell are jumping straight into the reality behind modern workaholism and its impact on men’s lives, exploring how the relentless pursuit of success often masks deeper wounds. Michael and Russell break down the difference between a workaholic’s obsession with status and a true warrior’s mission to give, rather than just get. They examine the ways men justify their exhaustion, using “family” and “provision” as rationales for self-sacrifice, while overlooking the cost to their relationships and purpose. The conversation cuts to the core of what drives men toward burnout, asking listeners to confront whether they’re aligned with a mission or simply chasing the next promotion. Michael and Russell challenge men to reconsider their motives, pointing the way to reconnecting with a deeper, more heart-centered path.Chapters00:00:00 – The Silent Cost of the Money Chase00:01:03 – Welcome to IgKnight the King00:01:08 – Why Workaholics Miss the Real Mission00:01:35 – Facing the Warrior’s Shadow00:02:15 – Is Your Life About Conquest or Contribution?00:05:34 – How Society Programs Men to Burn Out00:09:15 – The Unseen Weight of Providing00:10:04 – Escaping the Corporate Trap00:12:00 – Workaholism: A Costly Addiction00:17:28 – The Boundaries Every Man Needs00:20:45 – The Work-Life Balance Myth00:26:00 – Rediscovering the Mission of the Heart00:27:00 – Final Words and Steps ForwardLinks And Resources:IgKnight the KingBook a Call with Dr. Michael DiamondIgKnight the King on FacebookDr. Michael Diamond on InstagramG.
