and check out the cuffed toolkit — the gear i actually use and stand by.

as always — if something ever disappoints, i’ll quietly remove it.

in episode 2, we start with the real numbers — the top five social media posts across every platform, ranked directly from metricool analytics. no opinions. no vibes. just performance.

from there, we open the vault. the substack data. the platform’s own internal top-five list based on how the algorithm itself values each piece. then we compare it to the top-five based purely on reader behavior.

after that, we break down the week’s musings — 51 + 52 — what they meant, why they landed, + the emotional fallout around them. then we look ahead at what’s coming next with musings 53 + 54.

we close with subscriber q+a:

— when did i first know i was different?

— how did that realization evolve over time?

— what does my writing process actually look like?

clean. honest. execution-focused. cuffed.

episode 1 — the intro

this is where cuffed starts.

in this episode, author breaks down the architecture of the entire project — the long-form writing, the visuals, the socials, and now, the podcast. each one is a layer with a purpose. each one reveals a different angle of modern masculinity, trust, + emotional confrontation.

you’ll hear why cuffed was built the way it was, why the longform comes first, why the social content hits as hard as it does, and how this podcast fits into the bigger system.

This wasn’t made for everyone. It’s not safe. It’s not polished. It’s not trying to be neutral.

It’s one man speaking the truth he was never allowed to say — about women, sex, marriage, betrayal, and the war inside every man who’s been told to stay quiet.

If you’ve ever felt like no one gets what it’s like to be loyal and alone… this is for you.

Start here.

Just don’t say you weren’t warned.
