🎙️ Iron Man and Emotional Intelligence
📅 Episode 175 | The Shadows Podcast
🧠 PERSONa Month Series

Who has higher emotional intelligence: Tony Stark or Iron Man? 🤔 Suit up for an in-depth emotional intelligence breakdown of one of the most complex heroes in the Marvel Universe.

In this episode, host Tripp Bodenheimer takes you on a journey from the cave to the gauntlet—exploring how Tony Stark transforms from a narcissistic billionaire to the ultimate sacrificial hero, all through the lens of Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence framework.

💥 This episode breaks down 4 key EQ pillars:

  1. Self-Awareness – “I built this chaos… now what?”

  2. Self-Regulation – The emotional armor of perfectionism, avoidance, and over-functioning

  3. Social Skills & Empathy – Ultron, trust issues, and the messy art of collaboration

  4. Emotional Growth & Sacrifice – From ego to empathy, from “I am Iron Man” to “You can rest now.”

🧠 Whether you’re leading a team, parenting through burnout, or questioning your own identity, this episode is for you. Don’t miss this Marvel-sized deep dive into what real transformation looks like when we take the mask off.

We shift from armor to auto-tune — as we unpack the public downfall of Milli Vanilli and ask: what happens when the persona becomes more real than the person?

You don’t become Iron Man when you build the suit.
You become him when you realize Tony Stark isn’t who you want to be anymore.
