There was this moment in my conversation on the Just INwords podcast when I realized I was describing something that hits closer to home than I'd like to admit. I was talking about the loneliness epidemic affecting men, sharing research that shows isolation is literally as dangerous as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day,...
Most men today are walking around completely disconnected from their own bodies, and it's destroying their relationships. I recently sat down with Maria for the Love And Legacy podcast, and this counterintuitive truth kept coming up throughout our conversation. We talked about my own journey, how I went from being that anxious teenager who could...
All right, so I had a great conversation on the Learn or Be Learned podcast recently that I want to share with you. We covered a lot of ground, but a few key themes really stood out. First, we dove deep into the difference between isolation and loneliness. You can be totally alone and feel...
There's a moment in every man's life where he realizes he's been living like a ghost in his own body, walking through the world completely disconnected from what he's actually feeling. I just had this raw, honest conversation with Toby on Mirror Talk where we unpacked exactly this. We dove into how so many of...
I just had the pleasure of joining Richard on The Men of the House Podcast to talk about something I'm deeply passionate about: men's groups and why they matter so much right now. We dove into my own journey, how I ended up in this work. Growing up, I had a lot of privilege in...
What happens when an entire generation of men grows up emotionally starved, learning to perform connection rather than actually feel it? That's the question Sue and I explored when I joined her on the Blossom Your Awesome podcast, diving deep into men's work, men's groups, and the epidemic of disconnection that's leaving so many of...
I showed up on The Be Better Broadcast to talk about what healthy masculinity actually looks like and how we can cultivate it. We covered a lot of ground, starting with how the men's movement has evolved over the past few decades and why it's more needed than ever. Brandon and I dug into what...
I had one of those conversations with Melanie that I keep thinking about weeks later, the kind where you're discussing something most people whisper about behind closed doors: when do you actually know it's time to get a divorce? This conversation hit close to home because I work with so many guys wrestling with this...
There's a moment in every man's life where he stares at the ceiling at 2 AM, feeling the space between him and his partner like an ocean, wondering if staying for the kids is noble sacrifice or slow suffocation. I got to explore this agonizing territory on Melanie Curtin's show, diving into one of the...
The idea that men are supposed to go it alone isn't just outdated, it's literally deadly. I had this realization hit me hard during my conversation with Mark on Relatively Normal, where we unpacked why the cultural myth of the rugged individual is one of the most dangerous stories we tell ourselves as men. We...
I had a fascinating conversation with Melanie Curtin that sits right in this impossible paradox: men are supposedly obsessed with their penises, yet carry profound shame about the most basic thing penises do. We live in a culture that simultaneously expects men to be sexual beings while making them feel fundamentally broken when their bodies...
All right, well, this was a fun one. My wife Violet and I got to sit down with Ray and Jean on Couples Synergy, and we went deep pretty quickly. We talked about how we met (including Violet's dream where I apparently showed up before ...
