EP 11 - Facing Reality Early: Ego, Rejection & Knowing Your Superpower
Man Like You with Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aléshé & Eddie KadiShow Notes
Stand up comedians Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aléshé and Eddie Kadi chill, eat and chat through EVERYTHING and invite you into their world.
In this episode, the guys dive into what it really means to face reality early as a man — from rejection, ego and self-awareness to finding confidence in who you truly are.
They talk candidly about growing up knowing where you stand, learning your lane, and realising that what feels like a weakness can actually be your superpower. From comedy and masculinity to culture, travel, childhood influences and navigating life without pretending to be someone you’re not, this episode balances deep reflection with classic laugh-out-loud moments.
Real conversations. Real growth. Man like you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
