What does it actually take for a modern man to not just survive, but truly thrive in a world where all the old playbooks have been thrown out the window? I had a great conversation on Dead America with Ed recently exploring this exact question, diving deep into what modern men are up against and...
All right, I had a great conversation on A Joyful Rebellion recently that really got into what men's groups are actually about and why they matter so much right now. We covered a lot of ground, starting with my own journey into this work. Like many guys, I got started because I was struggling with...
What if the very thing we think makes us weak as men is actually what could make us the strongest fathers our kids will ever know? I got to sit down with Claire from Strong Single and Human right before Christmas, and we dug deep into this question, exploring what it actually means for men...
I got the chance to sit down with Neelu Gurung recently to talk about something I'm deeply passionate about: men's groups and why they matter so much for men's mental health. We covered a lot of ground in this conversation. I shared my own journey ...
Melanie Curtin and I had one of those conversations where we kept looking at each other going, "Oh, that's exactly it." We were mapping out the top three traits that separate the Nice Guys who stay stuck from the ones who actually start getting what they want in relationships, sex, and life, and these patterns...
I got to sit down with Dan Storey on The Personal Transformation Podcast, and we found ourselves wrestling with one of the deepest paradoxes facing conscious men today: how to be both powerfully grounded and emotionally open without collapsing into either old school machismo or people-pleasing weakness. It's this tension between holding your center and...
There's a moment about twenty minutes into my conversation on The Life Affairs Podcast where I found myself describing something I see in my office almost daily: a successful man sitting across from me, realizing for the first time that all the strategies that got him to where he is professionally have left him completely...
All right, I was on The Derelict Podcast with Josh, and we went deep on why so many men are walking around emotionally constipated and what that costs us. We covered a lot of ground. I shared my own journey, growing up with emotional neglect and having no clue how to connect with women or...
There's a moment in every man's relationship where he feels that familiar tightness in his chest, that instant defensive response when his partner's energy shifts toward him with what I call "the poke." I was on Melanie Curtin's podcast recently talking about this exact phenomenon that so many guys have experienced but maybe haven't named....
I got pulled into a conversation on Yollab Central that honestly caught me off guard with how deep we went. What started as a chat around International Men's Day turned into this raw exploration of what's really eating away at men today, and more importantly, ...
What if the very thing you think makes you weak as a man is actually pointing you toward your greatest strength? I had a great conversation with Melanie Curtin about something I see come up constantly with the men I work with: the difference between neediness and having needs. And honestly, this distinction has been...
The lone wolf mentality isn't just failing men, it's literally killing us. I had a great conversation on the Pleasure Principles podcast about what healthy masculinity actually looks like, and the most counterintuitive truth we explored is that vulnerability isn't the opposite of strength, it's the foundation of it. We dug into why so many...
