  From Self-Made Prison to True Purpose On this episode of Manifestly Good , I sit down with Nick Mair , founder of Pack Mentality Group , career transition coach, and Mental Health First Aid instructor, to explore what it really means to live as a good man today. Nick shares his journey from chasing external validation - first as a pilot to make his father and grandfather proud, and later in the corporate world - to hitting a breaking point in a 'self-made prison' of anxiety and depression. Through this experience, he discovered the importance of living intentionally, questioning expectations, and building authentic connection. In this conversation, we discuss: How unexamined expectations can derail your life and purpose The role of self-awareness in living true to your values Why building community and checking in on each other is vital, especially for men Lessons on masculinity, mental health, and personal resilience Nick’s story is a powerful reminder that real strength comes from honesty, authenticity, and the courage to walk your own path.
