In this episode of Silent Service, Matt DiMauro and Will Diesel are joined by friend and first-time guest, Kolbe Trovinger, for a vulnerable conversation on what it means to be your own toughest critic. Together, they explore why so many of us wrestle with unrealistic expectations, self-guilt, and the constant pressure to do more.From gratitude journals and the lessons hidden in past struggles, to fatherhood, faith, and even the wisdom of an old YouTube video, the three reflect on how to balance ambition without letting self-criticism take over. Along the way, they share personal stories of journaling, seasons of “suck,” giving yourself grace as a parent, and why attitude and effort remain the only two things you can truly control.Whether you’re chasing big goals, carrying baggage from the past, or just learning to slow down and laugh a little—this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to be so hard on yourself to grow.0:00 – Welcome & Introductions3:00 – MEPS Check-In6:00 – Hard on Yourself9:00 – Guilt and Fatherhood12:00 – Doing More & Pressure15:00 – Judgment and Letting Go18:00 – The Third Door Lessons 21:00 – Learning Without Self-Criticism 24:00 – AI and the Next Generation 27:00 – Seasons of Life 30:00 – Gratitude & Prayer 33:00 – Journaling & Goals 36:00 – Success & Skepticism 39:00 – Family Gratitude Practice 42:00 – Baggage & Energy Vampires 45:00 – Perspective & ClosingFollow us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartRadio, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
