Inherent Self Episode 3 - Trauma & Leadership: How Your Past Shapes the Way You Lead25 nov. 202500:45:07

In Episode 3 of the Inherent Self Podcast, Taylor Draper, Jonathan Liebert, and Mike Regennitter go deep into a topic that every entrepreneur deals with but few ever talk about openly: how trauma shapes leadership.


This conversation is raw, honest, and direct. Each of the hosts shares their own experiences with depression, childhood wounds, ego, survival mode, and the moments in leadership where trauma shows up without warning. They explore:


  • Why trauma is a universal part of the human experience
  • How trauma leaks into leadership through avoidance, anger, perfectionism, or hyper-critique
  • How Taylor navigated a depressive episode while leading a company
  • Why vulnerability, transparency, and asking for help are essential leadership traits
  • The difference between ā€œsurvivingā€ and ā€œthrivingā€ as a leader
  • How ego forms, why it shows up, and how to keep it from driving your decisions
  • Why men often live in the future instead of the present—and how it harms mental wellness
  • How to embrace discomfort, make mistakes, and grow without letting trauma debilitate you
  • What it looks like to build a trauma-informed business and leadership style


From Iron Man analogies to personal stories, this episode gives entrepreneurs—and anyone in a leadership role—permission to be human while still building something meaningful.


If you’ve ever wondered why you lead the way you do, or why you get triggered in certain moments, this episode will give you clarity, tools, and real hope.

Inherent Self Podcast Episode 2: Happiness VS Purpose14 nov. 202500:35:37

What if your purpose isn’t something you ā€œfindā€ — but something you grow into?

In Episode 2 of the Inherent Self Podcast, hosts Taylor Draper, Mike Regennitter and Jonathan Liebert unpack one of the biggest questions men struggle with today:

ā€œWhat is my purpose… and why don’t I feel fulfilled even when I’m ā€˜successful’?ā€

This episode gets real about:

  • The difference between happiness and fulfillment
  • Why so many men feel empty even when they’re achieving and performing
  • How survival mode, upbringing, and generational trauma shape who we think we’re supposed to be
  • Why purpose is a moving target, not a final destination
  • Why men need brotherhood and community to discover who they really are
  • How to begin finding purpose when you genuinely have no idea where to start
  • Why ā€œdoing the workā€ doesn’t mean doing it alone
  • The truth about growth: it’s not linear, and it’s not easy
  • The myth of work-life balance — and what actually replaces it


One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode:


If you don’t know your purpose yet, you can borrow someone else’s mission until yours reveals itself.You don’t have to have it all figured out — you just have to start.


This episode is for:

  • Men who feel stuck, burnt out, or directionless
  • Entrepreneurs questioning their ā€œwhyā€
  • Anyone trying to untangle purpose, survival, fulfillment, and identity
  • Men who have no community and want one
  • Anyone who wants to grow — not for the sake of growth, but for meaning


Join the movement, join the community, and join the conversation.

You are not alone, and you were never meant to do this alone.

Ep. 1 — Why It’s So Hard for Men to Talk About Mental Health16 oct. 202500:39:53

In the debut episode of The Inherent Self Podcast, host Taylor Draper sits down with co-hosts Mike Regennitter and Jonathan Liebert to ask one of the hardest—and most important—questions:


Why is it still so hard for men to talk about what they’re really feeling?


Together, they break down generational programming, societal stigma, and the silent expectations that keep men from opening up. This honest, grounded conversation explores what mental health truly means, how to recognize your own signals, and the power of simply saying, ā€œI’m not okay today.ā€


If you’ve ever struggled to find the words, this episode is for you.
