What if real strength isn’t about power or control, but about how safe other people feel in your presence?

In this solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius introduces the first part of a new series on what it truly means to be a strong person. Reflecting on conversations with family and insights from his upcoming work, he explores why strength starts with making others feel safe and giving more than you take. Darius shares a powerful excerpt from George Bernard Shaw’s “A Splendid Torch,” emphasizing service, purpose, and living for something greater than yourself. He challenges listeners to examine how they show up in their relationships, the energy they contribute to their communities, and whether they are living in a way that builds others up rather than breaking them down. 

In this episode, Darius will discuss:

• (00:00) Introduction to Strength and Relationships
• (06:28) Creating Safety in Relationships
• (08:44) The Importance of Giving More Than Taking
• (16:13) Living a Life of Purpose and Contribution
