The First or The Last | Hosted by Jay Awal

Marriage isn’t a weakness problem.

It’s not a distraction problem.

And it’s definitely not a liability problem.

Marriage is a growth problem.

In this episode of the First in Manhood series, Jay Awal breaks down why the modern “alpha” narrative rejects marriage and how that rejection is producing distracted men, unstable relationships, and shallow versions of success.

Grounded in biblical principle, real-world observation, and behavioral science (not hype or internet masculinity), this episode explores why commitment forces growth, why endless options fracture focus, and why avoidance of marriage often reveals fear of refinement... not strength.

Marriage removes places to hide. It exposes patterns.

It demands consistency. And it forces alignment.

That’s why many avoid it.

This episode explains why avoiding commitment doesn’t make men powerful; it keeps them unexamined and why marriage, when done with purpose, sharpens discipline, stabilizes vision, and builds long-term strength.

This episode isn’t about romance.

It’s about refinement.

Because the hardest path is usually the one that builds the strongest men.

The world isn’t confused about men and women.

It’s confused about purpose.

It’s about responsibility.

Talent gets attention.

Discipline keeps everything standing.

In this episode of First in Manhood, Jay Awal breaks down why self-control isn’t about restriction, it’s about protecting the promise.

Using the story of Samson and real-world examples, this episode explains:

• how small, undisciplined habits quietly sabotage strong men
• why lack of self-control creates stress, instability, and broken trust
• how discipline builds consistency, peace, and emotional safety
• why women often feel the impact of undisciplined men before men do
• how discipline protects families, relationships, and futures

Drive without direction doesn’t lead anywhere.

It just burns energy.

In this episode of First in Manhood, Jay Awal breaks down why strength, hustle, and intensity mean nothing without clear aim and why men who lack direction often create chaos instead of progress.

This episode covers:

• what strength without aim looks like in real life
• why being busy isn’t the same as building
• how direction creates stability, trust, and momentum
• why women instinctively trust men who know where they’re going
• how clarity turns effort into progress

This isn’t about having everything figured out.

It’s about knowing what you’re responsible for — and acting accordingly.

Most men don’t struggle because they’re weak.

They struggle because no one ever taught them what the pressure means.

In this opening episode of First in Manhood, Jay Awal breaks down why responsibility feels heavy and why that weight is not a curse, but a calling.

This episode reframes pressure as preparation and explains:

• why avoiding responsibility weakens men and destabilizes families
• how strength is formed under load, not in comfort
• the biblical foundation for perseverance and maturity
• what dependable leadership actually looks like in real life
• why women and families feel the difference when men carry weight well

If you’ve been feeling pressure without clarity…

if leadership feels heavier than expected…

or if you know you’re capable of more but haven’t stepped fully into it yet this episode is for you.

This isn’t hype.

It’s alignment.

If you’ve listened to this series and thought, “This finally makes sense… but what do I do now?” ... this episode is for you.

In the final episode of First in Market, Jay Awal brings everything together and strips business down to what actually matters. No trends. No noise. No overcomplication.

This episode explains:

• What a business really is (in simple terms)
• Why most people stay stuck chasing “scale” too early
• The one goal every business owner must hit before anything else
• How mindset, money, ownership, personal brand, and systems actually connect
• The question that reveals whether you’re building a business or a job

This isn’t about hustling harder.

It’s about building something that works without constant explanation or burnout.

Jay also introduces the next series, First in Manhood, and explains why leadership, discipline, and responsibility matter not just for men but for women, families, and businesses as a whole.

Because markets reward systems.

But systems only last when the person leading them is strong.

You can be talented.

You can work hard.

You can have the right intentions.

But if people don’t know who you help or why you matter, your business will always struggle.

In this episode of The First or The Last, Jay Awal breaks down why personal branding isn’t about followers or fame... it’s about clarity, trust, and positioning.

Using a simple real-world comparison between two builders with the same skills but very different outcomes, Jay explains why one person is always chasing opportunities while the other attracts them.

This episode covers:

• What a personal brand actually is (in plain language)
• Why being “good at a lot of things” keeps you invisible
• How StoryBrand principles explain why people buy from guides, not heroes
• The difference between working hard and being recognized
• Three simple steps to build a personal brand that compounds

Grounded in Proverbs 22:1 — “A good name is more desirable than great riches” — this episode reframes your name as an asset, not an accessory.

If you’re building a business, offering a service, or trying to create income this episode will show you why clarity pays faster than talent.

If you’re working hard, earning decent money, and still feel one step away from stress then this episode is for you.

In this episode of The First or The Last, Jay Awal breaks down a truth most people learn too late: freedom isn’t determined by how much money you make, but by how your money is made.

Through personal reflection and storytelling inspired by Rich Dad Poor Dad, Jay explains why trading time for money creates fragile income and why residual income changes the entire equation.

This episode explores:

• Why high earners still feel trapped and anxious
• The difference between income that pays bills and income that builds a life
• How the Cashflow Quadrant reframes work, ownership, and freedom
• Why residual income is about design, not laziness
• How many people are under-positioned, not underpaid

Scripture reinforces the principle in Proverbs 13:22:

“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.”

Inheritance isn’t just money... it’s structure, systems, and income that outlives effort.

This episode isn’t telling you to quit your job.

It’s helping you see why your current income model may be keeping you stressed — and what to start building instead.

Because money that depends entirely on your presence isn’t freedom.

It’s dependence.
