There's something most men don't realize until it's almost too late: the very traits our culture celebrated in us as boys—toughness, stoicism, self-reliance—are the same ones quietly destroying our relationships and mental health as adults. I spent a recent half hour on Straight from the Source's Mouth diving into why so many men are stuck...
I sat down with Robert B. Foster on Shut Up And GRIND and we got into something that's been on my mind for years: what the hell does it actually mean to be a man right now? Because the old models aren't working, and the vacuum left behind has a lot of guys feeling lost....
In this episode, Melanie and I dig into something that quietly haunts a lot of men in long-term relationships: What happens to the marriage when the kids leave? We talk about the slow drift from soul connection to role management, why "good enough" isn't enough, ...
Most fathers never learn this until it's too late: the same isolation that's supposed to make you "strong" is actually what's destroying your capacity to show up for your kids. I sat down with Andrew and Paul on the Why, Dad? podcast to talk about what shifts when men stop white-knuckling life alone. We went...
I had a great conversation with Reignited Marriage about something that shows up in almost every marriage I work with: nice guy syndrome. This isn't about being kind or considerate. Nice guy syndrome is about trying to earn love and approval through performing, pleasing, and ...
I sat down with the Elsplend Realities podcast to talk about something that's been at the core of my work for two decades: why so many men are walking around disconnected from themselves, and what actually changes that. We covered a lot of ground. The cultural programming that teaches boys from a young age to...
I spent almost two hours on this podcast diving into something I don't talk about enough: why so many men are walking through life feeling fundamentally alone, even when they're surrounded by people. Brian and I went deep into the nervous system piece. How most of us as men were taught from a young age...
What if the biggest barrier to men's thriving isn't external, but the stories we've inherited about what it means to be a man? I sat down with the Observeday podcast to talk about International Men's Day and what it actually represents. Not a day of celebration or defensive posturing, but an invitation to look at...
Here's the paradox that keeps me up at night: we men can develop incredible precision with our bodies, mastering complex athletic movements and physical skills, yet we remain completely illiterate when it comes to reading the most basic signals our bodies are constantly sending us about our emotional state. In my conversation with Dr. Dan,...
All right, and welcome back. I just did an episode with Melanie Curtin on her podcast Dear Men, and we broke down the real reasons your wife might not want to have sex with you anymore. Not the surface stuff, the actual underlying patterns that kill sexual connection in long-term relationships. We walked through five...
If you're tired of intellectual concepts about masculine presence that sound great in theory but fall apart when you're actually with a woman, this conversation with Melanie Curtin is exactly what you need to hear. I brought her on because I know most men in our community have read about polarity, maybe even studied David...
All right, well first off, I'll say this was such a fun conversation to have with Dr. Stephanie. We covered a lot of ground around male sexuality, relationships, and what it actually takes for men to show up more fully in their intimate lives. One of the things we dug into was how so many...
