In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores the truth behind happiness and why it isn’t something to be achieved but something to be cultivated.

This episode challenges the fallacy of destination happiness and explains how true fulfillment comes from the process of growth, discipline, and pursuit rather than the final outcome. The discussion covers how to break free from the "I’ll be happy when…" mentality, the dangers of tying happiness to external success, and how to shift focus toward finding joy in the journey itself.

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores Rule 19: Use Addiction to Your Advantage, challenging the common belief that addiction is inherently destructive.
