About this episode
Mike Campbell discusses the Nice Guy trap and how high-performing men can break free from it.
I see this same pattern in almost every guy I coach. It's the Nice Guy trap, the 'Covert Contract', the belief that if you just do everything for everyone else, eventually you'll get what you want. Spoiler: You won't. You'll just get resentful.In this micro episode, I expose the most common trap high-performing men fall into and how to break the cycle before it breaks you.
