Michael Meade - How To "Man Down": The Importance Of Myth And Descent For Men Nov 18, 2024

Talking points: masculinity, psychology, myth, Jung

Hot on the heels of the legendary John Lee, I interviewed another founding elder of men's work: Michael Meade. This is a powerful discussion focused on how essential "descent" is for men, and how it's almost completely disappeared from society in favor of endless, destructive growth and commodified "mastery". Powerful words from one of the wisest teachers out there, in my opinion.

(00:00:00) - The importance of descent in a man’s life

(00:11:51) - The signs of descent, and the role of technology

(00:22:28) - How the old worldview has collapsed, and the result is collective despair and grief

(00:29:39) - How do you deal with the feeling that things are ending?

(00:35:20) - The intersection of myth and AI; will they come together?

(00:41:29) - Where does the descent actually lead, and the symbolism of water and sword

(00:55:13) - How to “get the water”

Michael Meade, born and raised in New York City, is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He combines hypnotic and fiery storytelling, street-savvy perceptiveness, and spellbinding interpretations of ancient myths with a deep knowledge of cross-cultural rituals. His ability to tap into ancestral sources of wisdom to help people of today heal their communities has inspired thousands of people throughout the world. His unique translations of age-old myths and symbols into culturally relevant, everyday language earned him an honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Michael is also the founder of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation and author of The Genius Myth, The Water of Life, The World Behind the World, Fate and Destiny, and Why the World Doesn't End. He is co-editor of The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart, and editor of the cross-cultural anthology on rites of passage: Crossroads: A Quest for Contemporary Rites of Passage.

John Lee - Iron John's Legacy, Robert Bly, And Early Men's Work Nov 11, 2024

Talking points: masculinity, culture, mythopoetics, Robert Bly, Iron John

Maybe you've heard it said that there are lots of "olders", but barely any elders. John Lee is one of the latter, in my opinion. A critical player in men's movements of the 90s and close friends with Robert Bly, John is a wealth of knowledge, insight, and honest talk—and no stranger to deep work. Listen in, team.

(00:00:00) - Intro, and what brought John to where he is today

(00:06:23) - The impact Robert Bly had on the mythopoetic men’s movement, and what that was

(00:20:36) - Why Iron John is still relevant

(00:31:41) - Are men struggling with different things now compared to the start of the mythopoetic men’s movement?

(00:38:58) - The dark father archetype, and the difference between Robert Bly and Jordan Peterson

(00:43:20) - What can the study of myth do for the average man, and how the manosphere falls short

John Lee is a pioneer in the fields of self-help, anger, codependency, creativity, recovery, relationships, and men’s issues. In the mental health field, he is considered the therapist’s therapist and regularly trains and mentors therapists on how to work with clients and how to work on themselves. He has taught his techniques and theories to thousands of individuals, couples, families, groups, corporations, and therapists all over the world. After 35 years of touring nationally and internationally, John Lee calls Austin, Texas his home.

J.R. Martinez - Building A Life Full Of Heart From Hardship Nov 04, 2024

Talking points: mindset, purpose, military, masculinity

A sincere honor to chat with J.R., and I’m blown away by his perspective and honesty on the hardship he’s faced—and overcome. We cover a lot of ground: the importance of male friendship, the struggles veterans can go through, the importance of vulnerability AND accountability. Throughout it all, J.R.’s outlook shines through. Listen in, team.

(00:00:00) - JR’s defining moment

(00:11:45) - What happened to JR during his deployment

(00:23:58) - How men and veterans get stripped of purpose and identity, what contributes to that, and how we can do better

(00:38:04) - What JR would say to men who see the state of things and retreat into isolation, and the importance of building emotional for yourself

(00:55:50) - What JR would teach the next generation of men

J.R. Martinez’s life story is one of resilience and transformation. A Louisiana-born Army veteran and Iraq War survivor, Martinez faced tragedy early in his military service when a roadside bomb explosion left him with severe burns covering over a third of his body. His recovery included 34 months of treatment and 33 surgeries, a challenging journey that revealed his strength and inspired a new purpose.

Martinez began sharing his story, quickly becoming a sought-after speaker, captivating audiences at military bases and for major organizations like Delta and Wells Fargo. His personal mantra, “Adapt & Overcome,” resonated deeply, embodying his commitment to resilience and gratitude. He’s also become an advocate for organizations like the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors and Glasswing International, earning awards like the Ivy Award and the National Red Cross Spirit Award.

In 2008, Martinez ventured into acting with a role on All My Children, which opened doors in entertainment. He won the 2011 season of Dancing with the Stars, capturing audiences nationwide. His memoir, Full of Heart, became a New York Times bestseller, and he later pursued higher education, a milestone for his family. Today, Martinez continues to inspire through speaking engagements, acting, and advocacy, sharing his journey of strength and hope with audiences worldwide while balancing family life with his wife, Diana, and their children.

Shai Tubali - Is Enlightenment Worth It? Oct 28, 2024

Talking points: mindset, psychology, meditation, spirituality

Meditation and mindfulness get a lot of air time these days, especially on the more “crunchy” side of wellness spectrum. But is it all it’s cracked up to be? I sat down with Shai to really dig into this, from the wildly esoteric and spiritual side of the question to the more practical, tactical side. Because what’s the point of enlightenment if it doesn’t make things, well, a little lighter?

(00:00:00) - Shai’s feeling of being “outside” the usual human experience, the difference between detachment and dissociation, and using things like meditation to avoid life

(00:09:52) - What IS consciousness, and the West’s obsession with enlightenment

(00:25:45) - Why are humans even capable of self-reference? What’s the point?

(00:34:16) - Do these complex, philosophical ideas help with our day-to-day lives?

(00:43:20) - How can men develop greater mental flexibility and combat closed-mindedness?

(00:56:55) - What to do to get your calm back in a conflict

(01:02:07) - The ultimate test of mental flexibility: putting yourself in a loved one’s shoes

(01:09:41) - On reigniting imagination and using it for good

Shai Tubali is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, UK. He has a doctorate in philosophy of religion from the School of Philosophy, Religion, and History of Science at the University of Leeds. He’s the author of the monograph Cosmos and Camus: Science Fiction Film and the Absurd (Peter Lang) and a contributor to the Routledge Companion to Absurdist Literature, as well as a prolific published author, having written over twenty books, including award-winning and bestselling titles. Among his diverse publications, one can find prose, poetry, practical books on meditation and self-development, and philosophical treatises on South-Asian philosophy and classical Greek philosophy.

Andrew Bustamente - The Real CIA, Modern Conflict, And What It Means For You Oct 21, 2024

Talking points: culture, geopolitics

This interview is probably among the most unique I’ve had on the show. I don’t usually cover straight-up politics, but Andrew’s work has fascinated me for a while. And as the world seems to getting more up in arms (literally and figuratively), I find myself wanting to learn more about where all of this started and how we as men can respond.

(00:00:00) - Common misconceptions about the CIA

(00:11:47) - Why foreign secrets are such a big deal

(00:24:51) - Andrew’s perspective on current global unrest, Iran, and just how complex it is

(00:38:31) - What’s difficult to understand about geopolitics, and why there seems to be so much conflict

(00:48:19) - Is there any form of governance that truly permits any freedom, and where the balance could lie

(00:57:47) - The perspective shift that changed Andrew’s life

(01:08:51) - Andrew’s take on what’s going to happen next with Ukraine, Russian, and Iran

(01:16:33) - Is US global supremacy in jeopardy? If it is, what does that mean for the average citizen?

Andrew Bustamante is a former covert CIA intelligence officer, decorated military combat veteran, successful Fortune 10 corporate advisor, proud husband and father.

After 20 years running human and technical intelligence operations for private and government clients worldwide, Andrew founded EverydaySpy.com -- the first-ever digital spy training platform. Headlining both US and International media, Andrew’s training events have been praised for their innovative, authentic, and life-changing impact.

When he isn’t giving interviews, running spy exercises, or supporting private intelligence contracts, Andrew lives with his wife (also an ex-CIA Officer) and two children in Colorado.

Dr. Warren Farrell - What's Weighing Down Young Men? Oct 07, 2024

Talking points: culture, masculinity, relationships

Warren’s been a consistent and committed voice for men for decades now, an it’s been far too long since we’ve talked, so when I wanted to get some insight on how things have changed—or not—he was the obvious choice! We cover the complexity of what “makes” a man, get into politics, and some solid practical advice for couples. Enjoy and dig in.

(00:00:00) - What’s happening to young men in today’s culture

(00:09:47) - Warren’s take on why there seems to be negation or dismantling of biological underpinnings of maleness

(00:17:53) - Is there really a difference between men and women, and Warren on listening first, solving second

(00:26:08) - Why do we see a gender divide in politics?

(00:36:06) - What Warren would say to men in their 20s and 30s

(00:41:54) - On Warren’s book Role Mate To Soul Mate, and what makes falling in love easy but sustaining love difficult

(00:52:27) - Advice if you feel like you’re always walking on eggshells with your partner

Warren Farrell, PhD, has been chosen by the Financial Times of London as one of the world’s top 100 thought leaders. His books are published in 19 languages. They include The New York Times bestseller Why Men Are the Way They Are, and the international bestseller The Myth of Male Power. Dr. Farrell presented the findings of The Boy Crisis (2018) worldwide, from the White House to the Norwegian Parliament. It was a catalyst for bipartisan legislation for father involvement in Florida.

Dr. Farrell’s most recent book, Role Mate to Soul Mate: The Seven Secrets to Lifelong Love (2024), is based on his teaching couples’ communication for the past 30 years to more than a thousand couples and psychologists. Warren has been a pioneer in both the women’s movement (elected three times to the Board of the National Organization for Women in NYC) and the men’s movement (called by GQ “The Martin Luther King of the men’s movement”). He advocates for a “Gender Liberation Movement, freeing both sexes from the rigid roles of the past.” His life journey is the subject of a forthcoming documentary.

Talking points: isolation, culture, relationships, friendship, anger, connection

Every now and I then, my team and I like to compile some of the greatest insights from our guests and center them around a theme. This week, we’re going hard on connection. The importance and nuance of it, the consequences of being without it, and the ways connection manifests.

East Forest - Music As Mentor, Psychedelics, And Artists Versus AI Sep 09, 2024

Talking points: music, artistry, creativity, AI, culture, spirituality, psychedelics

Music has been around for thousands and thousands of years. There’s a reason for that: it’s a powerful, synchronizing force between peoples, places hearts, and minds. And when you add psychedelics, well, that’s a recipe for incredible journeys.

I’m honored to have had this convo with one of my favorite artists, and we dig into just how important music is not just for enjoyment but as a guide, mentor, and facilitator. We also cover his upcoming doc, Music For Mushrooms. Listen in, team.

(00:00:00) - What role does music play in our lives that we often overlook, and how East’s relationship to music has changed over the years

(00:08:25) - What’s worrisome about AI and music?

(00:16:47) - How artists can weather the storm

(00:23:05) - On initiation, and the threshold we’re crossing into a vast, uncharted era

(00:26:00 ) - What was it like making music with Ram Dass?

(00:32:49) - How do you make music for a psychedelic journey, and how the union of music and psychedelics leads to something more

(00:43:15) - How do you describe psychedelics to someone who’s never done them?

(00:48:21) - How music can be a mentor and a guide to turn to

(00:51:55) - What sparked East’s Music For Mushrooms documentary

Since 2008, East Forest has used music to guide listeners through modern journeys of deep introspection. The electro-acoustic project has remained primarily a solo effort (of Krishna-Trevor Oswalt), straddling the worlds of ambient, neoclassical, electronic and indie-pop.

Whether via his Music For Mushrooms: A Soundtrack For The Psychedelic Practitioner album series, his collaborative spoken word album with Ram Dass, or one of his communal “Ceremony Concerts,” East Forest’s goal has always been “building bridges and creating an approach that’s grounded, embodied, and unarguable.”

(00:07:55) - The idea that what women bring to a relationship is automatically more valuable isn’t always true

(00:13:11 ) - Men, you’ve bought into the BS notion that something is automatically wrong with women

Francis Weller - Collapse, The Psyche, And The Role Of Soul Aug 19, 2024

Talking points: collapse, culture, masculinity, psychology, Jung

There are very few people out there I consider genuine, authentic elders. Francis Weller is one of them. With a perfect marriage of gentle compassion and firm sincerity, Francis is the man you want to share a campfire with when times are tough. He lays out what we’re facing collectively from the perspective of someone deeply in tune with the natural world, and how we need to respond.

(00:00:00) - Why we’re in “the long dark”, and what needs to dissolve collectively

(00:09:04) - Navigating the things that are negatively affecting the psyche, and “death cafes”

(00:14:40) - What Francis has been noticing and gathering from our current times

(00:21:03) - The balance between being aware of what’s going on and catastrophizing

(00:27:31) - Is talking about collapse and degrowth inherently anti-American?

(00:34:49) - How does someone stay present and grounded in the face of a collapse, and how people normally navigate

(00:44:09) - How do you find satisfaction without relentless pursuit? How do you get okay with “adequate”?

(00:50:30) - Francis on the nuance and variance of masculinity and masculine culture

(00:56:31) - How to be the medicine, and how to develop a deeper relationship with nature

Francis Weller, MFT, is a psychotherapist, writer, and soul activist. He is a master of synthesizing diverse streams of thought from psychology, anthropology, mythology, alchemy, indigenous cultures, and poetic traditions. Author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow, The Threshold Between Loss and Revelation, (with Rashani Réa), and In the Absence of the Ordinary, he has introduced the healing work of ritual to thousands of people. He founded and directs WisdomBridge, an organization that offers educational programs that seek to integrate the wisdom from indigenous cultures with the insights and knowledge gathered from Western poetic, psychological, and spiritual traditions.

Francis received a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin Green Bay and two Master’s Degrees from John F. Kennedy University in Clinical Psychology and Transpersonal Psychology. His writings have appeared in anthologies and journals exploring the confluence between psyche, nature, and culture. He is currently completing his third book, A Trail on the Ground: The Geography of Soul.

He has created three CD sets, two focusing on healing shame and one on “Restoring the Soul of the World.” His latest offerings are a 10-session audio series on "Living a Soulful Life and Why It Matters." and "The Alchemy of Initiation: Soul Work and the Art of Ripening."

Todd Baratz - Love Can (And Should) Be A Little Challenging Aug 12, 2024

Talking points: relationships, sex, social media, non-monogamy

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I think the current dating scene is, in a word, messy. So I’m grateful to have sat with Todd Baratz on why that’s the case. I love Todd’s practical, honest yet understanding perspective on the issues, because it allows for all the complexity and nuance relationships can bring. To sum it up: communicate, communicate, communicate.

(00:00:00) - Todd on why modern relationships seem like a mess, new social values, and social media’s effect

(00:13:54) - What causes us to sometimes lose a deep sense of self in relationships, and how our original attachment contributes

(00:18:30) - How all this influences sexual expression, and bridging the gap between different preferences

(00:25:47) - What you need to open a dialogue about what you want sexually, and where couples go wrong

(00:32:41) - “Too good to leave, too bad to stay”, and are relationships starving for lack of community?

(00:37:02) - Do straight and queer couples deal with similar issues? And navigating non-monogamy

(00:44:26) - Dealing with relationship power struggles

(00:47:28) - When your partner asks for something, just do it

Todd Baratz is a renowned psychotherapist and sex therapist whose innovative approach to mental health and relationships has established him as a leading figure in his field.

Why Women Avoid Accountability (And How To Make It Happen) Aug 08, 2024

Talking points: accountability, relationships

Before anything else, not all women struggle with this. But some who do (and the men who love them) have asked me to speak on this. You’ve probably seen the memes or heard a story or two, but it’s always better to actually do some thinking. Here are my thoughts on why some women admit to struggling with accountability—and how to hold a partner accountable in a healthy way.

(00:00:00) - Intro and reason 1: different tools for social status

(00:05:41) - Reason 2: women are disincentivized by the “patriarchy virus”

(00:07:52) - Women are socialized to be more dependent on men

(00:10:05) - How to hold a partner accountable in a healthy way, and what NOT to do

David Kessler - Finding Meaning In Grief And Loss Jul 22, 2024

Talking points: grief, loss, relationships, masculinity, anger

I met David at a psychotherapy symposium a while back, and it wasn’t long before we were sharing some of the things we’ve grieved. He just has that calm yet strong presence. He’s also, of course, an absolute expert therapist. We dig into everything loss in this episode; how the 5 stages actually work, what death does both for and to us, and much, much more. This is absolutely an episode to share with someone you feel could use it.

(00:00:00) - Intro, do men and women grieve differently, and the toll of not grieving

(00:06:34) - Why unprocessed grief manifests as anger, anxiety, and more

(00:11:10) - What brought David into grief work, the five stages, and where people get stuck

(00:24:43) - On the loss of David’s son

(00:32:12) - Does grief reshape identity, and the different ways of moving through it

(00:35:50) - How to move through grief, and discerning when to “live again”

(00:42:51) - David’s take on death denial, living currently, and how death challenges our assumptions

(00:50:43) - The sixth stage of grief, and the nuances of meaning after loss

David Kessler is one of the world’s foremost experts on grief and loss. His experience with thousands of people on the edge of life and death has taught him the secrets to living a happy and fulfilled life, even after life’s tragedies. He is the author of six books, including the new bestselling book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. He co-authored two books with Elisabeth Kubler Ross, including On Grief and Grieving updated her 5 stages for grief. His first book, The Needs of The Dying received praise from Saint (Mother) Teresa.

David’s personal experience as a child witnessing a mass shooting while his mother was dying in a hospital helped him begin his journey. For most of his life, David has taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about the end of life, trauma, and grief. He facilitates talks, workshops and retreats for those experiencing grief. However, despite his vast knowledge on grief, his life was turned upside down by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. It inspired him to write his newest book, Finding Meaning.

David’s volunteer work includes being an LAPD Specialist Reserve for traumatic events as well as having served on the Red Cross’s disaster services team. He worked for over a decade in a three-hospital system, and was even trained for bio-terrorism events and epidemics/pandemics.

Can Men Be Monogamous? Should They Be? Jul 04, 2024

Talking points: monogamy, relationships, culture

Well, can they? This started with me wondering why certain men who are notorious for sleeping around are suddenly hopping on the monogamy train, and ended with me hitting the record button and getting curious.

And honestly, this is way more complicated than a binary "men must/can or must not/can't be faithful partners". Listen in and let me know your thoughts.

(00:00:00) - Intro and why I’m diving into this

(00:05:41) - Where does the idea that men CAN’T be monogamous come from?

(00:14:59) - Monogamous cultures can have benefits, even though modernity seems to disincentivize it

(00:16:22) - Most men ultimately prefer monogamy, but there are underlying issues

Mastin Kipp - Reclaiming Your Nervous System Jun 24, 2024

Talking points: neurology, biology, trauma, mindset

This was one of the most informative episodes I've ever recorded. As expected of Mastin Kipp, an old friend and incredible coach. We covered everything nervous system—and how there may be what you might call a "unified theory of trauma". Wildly grateful for this one! Note: we had some audio trouble for the first bit, but it cleans up after minute 12!

(00:00:00) - Intro, and the fragmentation problem in therapy and coaching

(00:08:47) - Mastin’s take on trauma, and the role of the nervous system

(00:29:44) - Do men relate, store, and deal with trauma differently?

(00:37:11) - Where do you as a man begin working with trauma—and where you don’t

(00:49:13) - What if you’re worried it’ll mess with your productivity/relationship/abilities?

(00:56:11) - How to simply improve your baseline wellbeing

Mastin Kipp, life coach, entrepreneur, author and self-taught expert on the human mind who bridges the gap between therapy, coaching, and personal development. With over two decades of experience, he combines psychological research, neuroscience, evidence-backed concepts and practical tools to guide individuals in unlocking their full potential to live a life with passion and purpose.

5 Lessons From Fatherhood Jun 20, 2024

Talking points: fatherhood, mindset, perfectionism

To many of you, I'm still pretty new to the dad game, but it's honestly boggled my mind how much being one has changed my life and perspective on things. These are just a few of the things I've learned—or you could say my son has taught me.

00:00:00) - Intro, and number one: masculinity is modeled

(00:07:51) - “I would die for my kids, but I won’t live my life for them”

(00:10:21) - Your anger as a man is necessary. Your aggression is not.

(00:13:48) - Structure and limitation actually give you freedom

(00:16:27) - The aim is not perfection, the aim is progress

Sometimes in life, we feel stuck, and that can happen even after you've done "the work" and developed a deeper understanding of how your past shaped your present. My anon guest this week (like many of us) has trouble feeling feelings. Together, we dig a little into where that comes from and why.

Mark Groves - The Elusive Relationship To Truth Jun 13, 2024

Talking points: truth, social media, relationships, men, culture

Phew! Mark and I covered about a million things this episode, but that's what happens when you've been friends for over a decade. There's an overarching theme though: getting caught up in narratives, and how that actually fractures our ability to stay relational and kind to people. Dig in for this very wide-ranging conversation.

Editor's note: while Adderall (dextroamphetamine) has some molecular similarity with methamphetamine, they are not the same. The attached methyl group—the "meth" part—lets the compound cross the blood-brain barrier very easily, last longer, and amps up how addictive it is. The "dextro" means the compound is arranged in a specific way so much lower doses can be used.

(00:00:00) - Why men a seen as the problem in our current society, and how social media plays into that narrative

(00:14:42) - Balancing our perception of what men and women each bring to the table

(00:27:59) - How Mark approaches charged topics and binary thinking

(00:43:07) - Dehumanizing is easier thanks to social media, and how to stay relational

(00:58:06) - Acknowledging complexity, and intersubjective reality

Mark Groves is the founder of Create The Love. His own rock bottom – a relationship ending – sparked his lifelong journey to turn his mess into his message. Today, Mark is a human connection specialist, speaker, writer, motivator, creator, connector and collaborator. All. The. Things. As a bridge between the academic and the human, Mark invites people to explore the good, bad, downright ugly, and beautiful sides of connection.

To De-Sexualize Your Brain, Do This ONE Thing Jun 13, 2024

Talking points: mindset, social media, sex

Out of everything I've done, this is one of the simplest and most effective. To be clear, it's not about going abstinence-only or becoming a prude. It's about freeing mental bandwidth and take, taking ownership of my desires, and creating direction in my life. Dig in.

(00:00:00) - Intro, and why this isn’t about being a prude

(00:02:14) - The DBC: Digital Brain Cleanse. Step one, content

(00:06:17) - Step two: contacts

Peter Levine - The Many Sides Of Trauma Jun 10, 2024

Talking points: trauma

This was an honor. The word trauma gets thrown around a lot these days, so it's important to get back to basics and really sink into what's going on and why. After all, this is humanity we're talking about, and we're nothing if not complex. Peter is a legend in therapy circles for his groundbreaking work in somatic education and trauma work, so we dug into many of the different (and unusual) things something like trauma brings to the table. Both Peter and I encourage you to listen WITH someone!

(00:00:00) - Peter’s definition of trauma and how it affects the body

(00:07:27) - Peter demonstrates a somatic exercise to help release trauma

(00:13:14) - Do men and women experience and handle trauma differently?

(00:21:40) - On how trauma needs witnessing to heal, and Peter’s experience with active imagination

(00:34:14) - Navigating the almost mystical side of healing

(00:39:45) - Why the tiger?

(00:43:27) - How can men work in a healthy way with anger, and how betrayal can impact how someone expresses themselves

(00:49:08) - The main tool to help process trauma

Peter A Levine, Ph.D., is the developer of Somatic Experiencing®, a naturalistic and neurobiological approach to healing trauma, which he has developed over the past 50 years. He holds a doctorate in Biophysics from UC Berkeley and a doctorate in Psychology from International University. He is the Founder and President of the Ergos Institute for Somatic Education, dedicated to Community Outreach and Post-Advanced Somatic Experiencing® Training, and the Founder and Advisor for Somatic Experiencing International. He has taught at the University of California, Berkeley; Mills College; Antioch University; the California Institute of Integral Studies; and the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute. His work has been taught to over 30,000 therapists in over 42 countries.

Dr. Levine is the author of several best-selling books on trauma, including Waking the Tiger, Healing Trauma (published in over 29 languages); In an Unspoken Voice, How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness; and Trauma and Memory, Brain and Body in a Search for the Living Past.

10 Things Men Have To Stop Doing Jun 06, 2024

(00:19:07) - Learn how to stop pursuing short-term gratification, and kill the lottery mindset

The Rise Of Angry Male Internet Gurus May 23, 2024

Talking points: social media, masculinity, culture, the manosphere

You know the type. The conflict-focused, disrespectful bastions of non-matured masculinity. All loudly promising—if only you follow their framework—the secret to making millions and having your own harem.

I get a lot of asks to weigh on this. Specifically, what makes these guys so popular. Here are my thoughts.

(00:00:00) - Intro and what I grew up with

(00:03:39) - The feeling of virility and reckless certainty is understandable, but it has a cost.

(00:07:49) - If I were 19, I’d get the appeal

(00:10:05) - Men with actual status aren’t out there selling you status, and the formula these guys use

(00:14:55) - We need to pull back and ask who we’re actually listening to

(00:17:54) - It’s hard to find real elders; harder to listen

What is it men are actually looking for? We know how media tends to define "masculinity", but what is it men are wanting to define? I sat down with MELD founder and fellow coach Owen Marcus to dig into some of this, because we've both found that what men really want and what mainstream narratives say they want are often two different things. Dig in, team.

(00:00:00) - Why do you think “masculinity” gets so much attention in our culture?

(00:05:44) - When are where do men feel most aligned, and why getting out of your head is important

(00:12:07) - Where did mature masculinity go, and the balance of biology and culture

(00:19:25) - What happens when men miss moments of maturation

(00:27:03) - The value of being able to share what you’re going through with others, and what gets in the way

(00:33:27) - What is emotional physiology?

(00:39:24) - Tools to get back into the body, and what about men who avoid the work for fear it’ll make things worse?

Owen Marcus resisted getting into men's work, and it was only because his pain exceeded his fear that he started his first men’s group in 1995 in his clinic in Scottsdale, AZ.

The conventional approach to men’s groups began to feel inadequate for Owen and the deep, transformative work he sought. After completing his straw bale home in the forests of Idaho, he decided to take everything he had developed in his practice and worked to create a new model. By the middle of 2005, he had a thriving men's group group.

What began as the Sandpoint Men’s Group (SMG) grew beyond Marcus's wildest expectations. Nineteen years later, it boasts over 400 alumni and more than 50 active members. This journey led to the birth of EVRYMAN and now MELD, each step an evolution of his initial vision.

(00:12:58) - “Is this something I can influence, or is it out of my control?”

(00:16:10) - “What really hard thing can I do that will make my life better?”

Jason Wilson - Breaking Free From Emotional Incarceration (Re-release) Apr 23, 2024

Talking points: masculinity, culture, mindset

We've had a lot of new listeners recently, and this interview deserves a ton of attention. Jason's words and work are powerful examples of how important men's work can be. This is a re-release of one of my favorite interviews, one of the most impactful stories, and worth every minute. Dig in for thoughts on comprehensive masculinity, the dangers of "grindset", and so much more.

(00:00:00) - Intro and Jason’s defining moment

(00:07:45) - The video that got Jason global attention

(00:13:22) - Defining “emotional incarceration” and its devastating effect on men

(00:18:58) - Why do some men have such an aversion to rest and replenishment?

(00:24:52) - How Jason got into martial arts, and how he uses it to support young men

(00:33:54) - On the importance and teaching of defeat

Jason Wilson is the founder and CEO of the Yunion (pronounced union), a non-profit youth development organization in Detroit Michigan. Since 2003, the Yunion has effectively reached more than 15,000 youth and young adults through innovative prevention programming, trauma-informed care, parental engagement, and counseling. In 2008, Mr. Wilson’s heart for fatherless and misguided black boys inspired him to create and direct the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy (CATTA).

As an expert in Emotional Stability Training®, Wilson’s leadership has garnered the CATTA numerous acknowledgments and awards for his work teaching males how to introspectively confront and conquer their negative emotions with composure. In 2016, one of the CATTA’s videos went viral with over 80 million views worldwide. As a result, Mr. Wilson was invited to be a guest on the Dr. Oz Show and to present the CATTA at President Obama’s ‘My Brother’s Keeper’ Showcase at the White House. Later that year, NBC’s hit TV show ‘This Is Us’ was so inspired by Wilson’s work, that they featured the CATTA’s initiation ceremony in one of their most viewed and award winning episodes. In 2018, Mr. Wilson signed with actor/producer Laurence Fishburne’s film company Cinema Gypsy to produce a documentary film on Jason’s work with the CATTA. It is scheduled to be released in 2021.

Mr. Wilson has over 25 years of martial arts experience, in addition to over 16 years of training and developing young black males. Mr. Wilson is a man of the Most High, a faithful husband of over 22 years and a proud father of two beautiful children.

A Man's Guide To Avoidant Attachment Feb 15, 2024

The last “A Man’s Guide” was a big hit. I had a feeling it would be, but the response still surprised me! Next up, a serious breakdown of avoidant attachment. Here's the definition, where it comes from, the signs, and tips for moving away from it in a relationship.

This is a great episode to listen to with your partner. Take notes, discuss, and see what comes up! Lastly, thank you to everyone who reached out with comments, questions, ideas, and gratitude. I love doing these longer-form presentations; it means I get to nerd out and really lay things down.

Rob Henderson - Building Resiliency From A Troubled Childhood Feb 12, 2024

Talking points: childhood, trauma, foster care, relationships

We all know that poverty can have a massive impact on a child's future well-being, sense of self, attachment style, and more. Foster children face equally (if not more) significant challenges. Rob Henderson, author of the incredibly powerful book, "Troubled", explains some of what happens. Team, I strongly recommend this one if you're interested at all in childhood trauma, how attachment develops, the apparent demonization of young men, absent fathers, and of course, Rob's book. Seriously could NOT stop reading it.

(00:00:00) - Intro

(00:06:54)- How Rob approached writing such a profound book—and why

(00:14:27) - What’s the foster-care system like in America?

(00:23:01) - How does the foster-care system shape a child’s perspective on relationships?

(00:36:01) - How Rob found a sense of belonging

(00:39:23) - How did Rob repair or build relationships with men?

(00:46:06) - Rob’s take on how absent fathers impact children

(00:51:33) - On “Young Male Syndrome” and the limits of attachment

(01:03:40) - How do dating apps impact attachment, and how Rob worked on healing his own attachment style

Rob Henderson grew up in foster homes across California, and is a writer on human nature, psychology, social class, TV shows, movies, political and social divisions, and more. He's perhaps most known for pioneering the concept of "luxury beliefs," a term he coined to describe a new way of understanding the American status system. After working as a busboy, a dishwasher, and supermarket bagger, he joined the Air Force at the age of 17, stationed mostly in Europe and deployed in the Middle East.

Once described as “self-made” by the New York Times, Henderson obtained a B.S. in Psychology from Yale (thanks to the G.I. Bill) and a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Cambridge (St. Catharine’s College), where I studied as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. He is a founding faculty fellow at UATX and a columnist at The Free Press, and have written for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Boston Globe, among other outlets.

Henry Shukman - A Path To True Mindfulness Feb 05, 2024

Talking points: zen, meditation, mindfulness, psychedelics, mindset

I'm one of those people who hated sitting down and meditating, even after a few years of trying to practice. It's now something I do nearly every day, and it grounds me in ways I can't explain. This is a pretty common story, especially among men I've worked with, so I brought Henry Shukman back on the show to dig into what novice meditators get wrong, what some good starter methods are, and really: what IS thought, anyway?

Listen in for a great look at the start and "end" goal of mindfulness, and Henry's infectious enthusiasm for this powerful practice.

(00:00:00) - Intro

(00:03:47)- Do men and women have different struggles with meditation?

(00:08:35) - Why do meditation and mindfulness draw more women than men?

(00:18:45) - What are the initial resistance points when people start a meditation practice?

(00:25:03) - What IS thinking?

(00:31:57) - But what’s the actual goal of mindfulness, and how do you get there?

(00:38:56) - The power of allowing, and what it actually means

(00:49:29) - What is “original nature”?

(00:56:16) - Do psychedelics offer the same glimpse into reality as meditation does?

(01:04:24) - Henry’s upcoming app

Henry Shukman is a mindfulness teacher and the spiritual Director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center. He has been trained by several Zen teachers, particularly the roshis Joan Rieck, John Gaynor, Ruben Habito, and Yamada Ryoun Roshi, as well as by teachers and mentors in other traditions. Henry has an MA from Cambridge and an MLitt from St. Andrews, and has written several award-winning books of poetry and fiction.

He currently guides a wide range of students from all walks of life. He received dharma transmission (inka shomei) from Yamada Ryoun Roshi, the abbot of Sanbo Zen, and is a Zen Master of the Sanbo Zen lineage of Kamakura, Japan.

David C. Geary - The Evolution Of Sex Differences In The Brain & Vulnerability Jan 15, 2024

Talking points: evolution, psychology, relationships, sexuality

The field of evolutionary psychology has been on my mind a lot lately, but it can be hard to separate the real science from the stuff with an agenda. To that end, I sat down with David C. Geary to dig into the basics, and how even a little knowledge about things like sexual dimorphism and intrasexual aggression can bring a better understanding to modern relationships.

Listen to this one if you want a solid intro to the existence and effects evolution might have on selecting a partner, friendships, overall culture, and more.

(00:00:00) - Intro, defining evolutionary psychology, and what it has to offer in the context of modern relationships

(00:04:59) - The main pillars of sexual selection

(00:09:01) - Describing human sexual dimorphism, brain differences, and possible evolutionary benefits

(00:21:07) - Why boys tend to be more interested in how objects work in space

(00:28:22) - Why would men have evolved a larger lung capacity?

(00:30:38) - We don’t compete for mates in the same ways anymore, but are attraction cues the same?

(00:35:06) - Defining intrasexual aggression

(00:44:28) - The evolutionary case for vulnerability

(00:49:28) - David’s take on modern dating

(00:56:29) - What an evolutionary vulnerability really means

(01:02:25) - How are dating and relationships going to shift in the future?

David C. Geary is a cognitive scientist and evolutionary psychologist with interests in mathematical cognition and learning as well as the biological bases of sex differences. After receiving his Ph.D. in 1986 from the University of California at Riverside, he held faculty positions at the University of Texas at El Paso and the University of Missouri, first at the Rolla campus and then in Columbia. Dr. Geary is currently a Curators' Distinguished Professor and a Thomas Jefferson Fellow in the Department of Psychological Sciences and Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program.

Dr. Geary has written four sole-authored books; Children's mathematical development (1994), Male, female: The evolution of human sex differences (1998, second edition, 2010, third edition 2021), The origin of mind: Evolution of brain, cognition, and general intelligence (2005), and Evolution of vulnerability: Implications for sex differences in health and development (2015), as well as one co-authored book, Sex differences: Summarizing more than a century of scientific research (Ellis et al., 2008).

The science behind it all is complicated, but fertility markers across the board are dropping. Why? I sat down with Layne Kilpatrick to get some info.

He has developed several original formulations made exclusively at MOC. He has treated thousands of patients for hormone-related issues. He acts as a consultant to medical practitioners and other pharmacists both in and outside of Utah, advising on the interpretation of hormone labs, clinical signs, and symptoms, and effective prescribing practices for ‘native’ hormone therapy, as he prefers to call it.

The One Question Every Man Should Answer (And Every Woman Should Ask) Nov 23, 2023

Talking points: mindset, goals, direction

If there's anything you should be prepared to talk about with a partner, this is it. I think men underestimate how potent it is, how attractive it is, and how beneficial it is for themselves and for everyone else...

(00:02:43) - Your vision helps women understand you better—and it’s attractive
(00:03:29) - Purpose comes FROM vision
(00:05:47) - There’s aliveness when working on your vision, but it’s easy to get stuck on what’s not going well
(00:09:35) - Why depth is my direction

Men's Work Session - Recovering And Healing Old Grief, Part Two Nov 20, 2023

Talking points: fatherhood, attachment, communication

Back in August, I had this gentleman on, and we covered some deep ground. In part two, we end up looking at a present struggle, fatherhood, and how it both connects and is separate from old patterns.

This is an excellent episode to check out if you’ve been curious about what shape repeat sessions can take, and how we can use what we’ve learned about ourselves not just to overcome our own obstacles, but help others too.

(00:00:00) - Intro, recap, and an update
(00:05:49) - We tend to overlook the healing and focus on what’s still going wrong
(00:09:56) - The challenges helping and managing an adopted son, and the fear of being unable to help
(00:18:21) - Similarities between what’s being experienced now and what was experienced as a child
(00:20:29) - What it’s like trying to connect with a son and not feeling like it’s happening
(00:28:24) - “What feels familiar between the relationship you have with your son and the relationship that you as a boy had with your father?”
(00:30:04) - You might be more alike than you think
(00:34:36) - How might the work of grieving a mother’s passing and relating to your son be connected?

Paul F Austin - Are Psychedelics The Catalyst For A New World? Nov 06, 2023

Talking points: psychedelics, therapy, culture, interdependence, history, materialism

It's been several years since I last talked with Paul, and he's been busy. We branch out into a number of ideas, all centered around what psychedelics have done, are doing, and COULD do for humanity.

If you're looking for thoughts from an expert on where the therapeutic industry might be headed—and what's needed from all of us—this is the conversation for you. Listen in.

(00:00:00) - Intro and Paul’s defining moment
(00:06:02) - Why do you think psychedelics were so villainized back in the day?
(00:11:29) - Would you say that part of the psychedelic experience is interaction with the unconscious?
(00:15:16) - Did psychedelics influence Jung’s “Red Book”, and how can psychedelic use actually improve mental health?
(00:24:11) - Psychedelic use should also assist collective mental health, not just individualistic goals
(00:29:42) - What is the recipe for a bad trip, and the importance of preparation and post-trip integration
(00:39:20) - Paul’s thoughts on the future, and possible concerns culturally and for teenagers
(00:46:43) - How can psychedelics impact our capacity to lead ourselves and others?
(00:56:10) - What would individuals and leaders do to deepen their understanding of interdependence?

Paul F. Austin is one of the most prominent voices in the world of psychedelics. As the founder of Third Wave, he has educated millions on the importance of safe and effective psychedelic experiences. A pioneer at the intersection of microdosing, personal transformation, and professional success, he has been featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife. Paul helps others use microdosing as a tool for professional development and increased self-awareness by treating the use of psychedelics as a skill refined through mentorship and courageous exploration.

The Simpification Of Modern Men Nov 02, 2023

Talking points: domestication, culture, biology

To be clear straight out the gates, I don't think there's some vast conspiracy to weaken all men. But there are certain aspects of our culture, our food, and more that have a synergistic effect. One that's messing with men on multiple levels. Listen in.

(00:00:00) - Intro and the ways men are becoming domesticated
(00:03:18) - Masculinity and what it means to be a good man is now almost entirely defined by women
(00:05:40) - A narrative that men are essentially defective women, or unwanted, or automatically at fault
(00:10:42) - The simplification is also biological, through microplastics, additives, and more
(00:13:59) - Stress and distraction levels are through the roof
(00:17:03) - So…what do we do?
(00:20:04) - Life isn’t supposed to be easy all the time

Figs O'Sullivan - On Diagnosing Your Partner, Blame Games, And Emotional Pursuers Oct 23, 2023

Talking points: couples therapy, emotions, modern culture, empathy

Delighted to have the wit and wisdom of Figs O'Sullivan to content with once again. It's been too long! We cover a lot of ground, specifically around couples therapy, so I encourage you to check the timestamps and listen in.

(00:00:00) - As people learn more “therapy-speak” and watch more TikTok “experts”, how is that filtering down into relationships?

(00:06:50) - Why do some people default to blaming their partner when things don’t go well?

(00:22:49) - Is modern therapy set up well enough to truly help men?

Tom Nash - Redefining Problems, Post-Traumatic Growth, And Exploiting Adversity Oct 16, 2023

Talking points: adversity, disability, resiliency vs anti-fragility, growth, mindset

Everything about this convo was enjoyable, but I think what I appreciate most is how pragmatic and straight-up grounded Tom's insights are. It makes for highly effective advice you can work on right away. Bonus: he's a great storyteller.

This is a great episode to dig into if you're looking for inspiration towards a different approach to things, especially hardship.

(00:00:00) - Intro, and the importance of living in a place you don’t always like
(00:07:00) - Tom’s defining moment
(00:09:43) - What Tom gained from intense physical hardship
(00:15:52) - Reorienting yourself instead of the problem, and post-traumatic growth
(00:20:05) - Is resiliency born or revealed by hardship, and have people treated you differently?
(00:23:25) - How do you approach problem-solving itself, and how Tom became a DJ
(00:34:10) - Tom’s definition of anti-fragile and resiliency
(00:50:06) - Did therapy help?

Quadruple amputee and DJ, Tom Nash exercises his unique knack for storytelling alongside his often dark and dry sense of humour, to lead audiences down a path of self-discovery, encouraging them to inspect their lives from a different angle. Tom’s grounded approach to working out what’s important and setting aside the noise of life, resonates with listeners.

Tom explains how harnessing the power of adversity helped him to build a more pragmatic, productive and self-reflective mindset. Applying the lateral thinking methods imbued upon him to circumnavigate physical issues into his vocational endeavours carved out a new line of thinking.

Talking points: fatherhood, abandonment, depression, coping

Every so often, I'll have an anonymous guest on the show to give listeners a glimpse into what the men's work at ManTalks is actually like.

Together, we uncover some of what's been keeping his progress in what feels like stasis. Listen in.

(00:04:26) - What’s disruptive for you about being rejected?

Sara Kuburic - It's On Me: Existential Psychology 101 Sep 18, 2023

Talking points: existentialism, self-loss, therapy, Kierkegaard, culture, responsibility, anxiety

Just before (like, literally just before) six days of solitude in Scotland, I had the immense privilege of chatting with Sara Kuburic, the brilliant existential therapist and new author of It’s On Me: Accept Hard Truths, Discover Yourself, And Change Your Life, coming out tomorrow.

Not sure what existential therapy is? Well we get into here, plus a multitude of other things, like facing what YOU are responsible for, losing the sene of self, and how some of this plays out in modern culture. Do not miss this one, team.

(00:00:00) - Intro and Sara’s defining moment
(00:06:52) - What Sara was in denial of
(00:10:57) - Why we fall apart when things are going well
(00:18:58) - The importance of looking at the darker stuff
(00:21:11) - Pillars of existential psychology
(00:29:19) - Have we, as a collective, lost our sense of self?
(00:36:01) - What’s Sara’s “existential psychology take” on American culture?
(00:41:18) - “Our degree of freedom dictates our degree of responsibility”
(00:44:17) - Defining “self-loss” and the role grief plays
(00:54:52) - Can responsibility-free time help define the self?
(01:01:05) - How does one develop a relationship with the body that helps orient the self?

Sara Kuburic is an existential psychotherapist, consultant, writer, and columnist for USA Today. She was born in Yugoslavia and raised in Canada. She is passionate about helping people seek change and live authentic, free, and meaningful lives. Her interest in psychology stems from her personal experience living through wars, navigating complex relationships, and continually learning what it means to be human.

Talking points: grief, loss, anxiety, helplessness

Every so often, I'll have an anonymous guest on the show to give listeners a glimpse into what men's work at ManTalks is really like. This is going to be a three-parter, so stay tuned for more.

This man is someone I've known for a while through his participation in ManTalks, and he's come to me looking wanting to feel more in charge of his life, and more able to handle when life, business, or relationships take a hit. Behind much of it is ungrieved childhood loss.

This is a great episode to dig into if you feel like you manage fine when life is good, but fall apart when it doesn't. There's insight on some of the consequences of not having the chance to properly grieve.

(00:00:00) - Intro and what our guest would like to work on
(00:10:07) - A pervasive feeling of inadequacy, and how it relates to making money

Does Modern Therapy Understand Men And Their Suffering? Aug 24, 2023

Fair warning, a focal point of this episode is suicide.

Talking points: therapy, self-help, masculinity

More men than ever are actively seeking help. They're going to therapy, they're working on themselves, they're doing "the work". I know because they come to me and people I know—either in the coaching or the therapeutic industry—by the thousands.

And yet a significant percentage of them don't come out it "helped". Many don't come out at all. To be clear, I am NOT saying therapy as an industry is totally broken or something to ignore. But there ARE some things I think it could do better.

(00:00:00) - Intro and some statistics
(00:04:47) - What I’ve seen and heard from men who come to ManTalks live events
(00:05:40) - I’m not saying the therapeutic industry is broken
(00:07:06) - We have to acknowledge that there are differences in men’s and women’s experiences
(00:09:25) - The three things the industry underestimates or misses with men
(00:11:43) - I’ve known a lot of men who looked great on the surface
(00:13:27) - Many of us don’t know how to help men get their direction back

Talking points: success, achievement, addiction, cycling, athleticism, personal development

Kevin Miller is a powerhouse. More than that, he's deeply humble and intentional in what he does after a lifetime of hard work and the pursuit of excellence. I sat down with him last week to dig deeper: what makes drive "drive"? What's the meaning of really going beyond your limits? What really, truly drives you, and where are you going with that?

You know, just light conversation.

(00:00:00) - Intro and Kevin’s defining moment
(00:06:04) - What it takes to be a professional cyclist, and what drove Kevin to pursue it
(00:11:10) - What might be underneath a valiant can’t-quit-won’t-quit attitude, and what’s the difference between pursuit of excellence and addiction?
(00:19:11) - When it comes to the pursuit of excellence, what’s actually rewarding about it?
(00:26:26) - How did the pursuit of excellence filter its way into your parenting?
(00:31:49) - Intentionality versus pursuit, and where the addiction to pursuit might come from
(00:47:35) - Do you think it’s healthy and meaningful for men to pursue some kind of physical excellence?
(00:51:39) - How the self-help industrial complex has shifted over the last few decades
(01:04:45) - Is AI going to help or harm people and the self-help industry?

Kevin is a former pro athlete, respected personal development guide, top-ranking podcast host, published author, and father of nine who has devoted himself to helping people elevate their personal experience and improve the way they show up for others.

Kevin hosts the Self-Helpful podcast, which has over 60 million downloads and is routinely visited by today’s most influential changemakers. His book, What Drives You challenges today’s myths on “driven people” and serves as a guide to clarity and conviction in what you authentically value and what truly motivates you.

Has Society Failed Men? Aug 17, 2023

Talking points: masculinity, culture, misandry Look, this is a charged topic. It’s also deeply complex, and it deserves serious attention MINUS the immediate rush towards dismissals, name calling, and blame games.

Experts On: Addiction and Enlightenment Aug 14, 2023

Talking points: addiction, culture, history, enlightenment, Zen, purpose, non-duality

The ManTalks Podcast has grown exponentially over the last couple years, so for all you newcomers, I like to release a sort of cross-section or "best of" episode to showcase what the podcast is all about—after all, I have talked to some brilliant and varied experts over the years!

This time, the themes are the widest ever: addiction and enlightenment. I chose this to demonstrate my love of the scientific and the spiritual—and my constant goal to balance the two. As Albert Einstein said, science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind. I hope you enjoy.

(00:00:00) - Dr. Anne Lembke on defining addiction and the addictive aspects of our modern world
(00:17:19) - Dr. Carl Erik Fisher on addiction through history and across cultures, and how society divides addicted people
(00:36:53) - Zen Henry Shukman on enlightenment as defined by Zen, his childhood, and his own story of kenshō
(00:58:45) - The acclaimed non-duality teacher Rupert Spira discusses the necessity of moving past the myth of separation

Get Used To Her Being Disappointed Aug 10, 2023

Talking points: boundaries, independence, relationships, nice guys

Yeah, it's a somewhat controversial title. It's also a challenge. Many, many men bend over backwards to prevent a partner from ever feeling disappointed, and when they inevitably do feel disappointed (because that's life sometimes), they spiral. Listen in.

(01:15) - Intro and why I'm talking about this
(03:05) - Caveats
(04:42) - Why this is important
(07:09) - I'm not saying don't have wiggle room!

Dr. Russell Kennedy - The True Origins Of Anxiety Aug 07, 2023

Talking points: anxiety, suicide, mental illness, neurology, culture, psychology

This was SUCH a thorough and enjoyable interview. Always a pleasure to get the practical yet caring advice from Dr. Kennedy, someone I’ve known for a long time.

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed or deals with anxiety, this is THE episode for you. We cover all the ways anxiety, the body, and the mind are connected, where to begin helping yourself (or others) with those anxious feelings, what the therapy and personal development industries often miss out, and way way more.

(00:00:00) - Intro and Russell’s defining moment
(00:04:03) - How Russell dealt with the complexities of a schizophrenic father
(00:11:33) - How anxiety is a manifestation of something much deeper
(00:15:38) - What are some of the most common anxiety myths?
(00:18:35) - What is the actual purpose of anxiety?
(00:21:54) - How do you talk to people who dismiss anxiety and trauma?
(00:33:37) - Do you think kids are more anxious than ever before?
(00:40:10) - What do we do for kids knowing that distraction culture will likely worsen?
(00:47:30) - What do you mean by “anxiety isn’t a feeling”?
(00:51:11) - Anxiety vs Alarm
(00:58:26) - Where do you begin helping someone with anxiety?
(01:08:17) - Is there a difference between anxiety and stress within the brain?
(01:12:36) - Russell’s final thoughts on anxiety

Dr. Russell Kennedy, aka “The Anxiety MD” specializes in the art and neuroscience of helping people recover from anxiety disorders. He knows anxiety from the inside out, as he developed his own anxiety disorder as a result of growing up with a dad with severe schizophrenia. Dr. Kennedy has degrees and advanced training in medicine, neuroscience, and developmental psychology—but it’s not all science, as he is also a certified yoga and meditation teacher and was a professional stand-up comedian for over a decade (no joke!)

In his award-winning book and audiobook, ANXIETY RX, he shows a practical, actionable program for anxiety relief that incorporates a combination of the latest in neuroscience with the grounding wisdom of the body with the ultimate goal of relieving the anxious thoughts of the mind. Using neuroscience (think "The Body Keeps the Score") and blending that science with a more artistic approach he learned through living at a temple in India, taking psychedelics, and being a natural and gifted intuitive, Dr. Kennedy gives a unique and never before seen understanding of what anxiety truly is, and further, exactly how it can be successfully treated. Dr Russ wants to make sure that nobody has to suffer with anxiety as he did.

Talking points: motivation, resiliency, transformation, Mt Kilimanjaro, Kona marathon, family secrets, doubt, shame

I'm proud to have known Bonner for some time now, thanks to him being a member of the Alliance, my private men's group. But the reason I wanted him on the show is to share his powerful story and how he's alchemized his life and his troubles into something that serves others. Many others, as you'll find out when you hit play.

I strongly recommend checking this one out if you or someone you know has any form of disability. It's important not just to help each other along, but to gather perspective on the extra hurdles many of us face, how they're managed or overcome, and the radical change that can stem from all of the above.

(00:10:21) - Growing up with cerebral palsy

(00:14:31) - The different kinds of family rules, and how came to hide his CP

Talking points: addiction, sex, porn, narcissism, relationships, therapy

I've yet to meet a man who hasn't struggled at some point in his life with porn addiction. I was one of them. But is sex addiction any different, and is it more or less complex? I sat down with Dr. Doug Weiss, himself a recovered sex addict (37 years and counting!) to get some insight.

This is an ep to listen to if you're looking for more insight on a pervasive problem for many, many people. One that can heavily impact relationships, work ethic, and even overall success.

[00:01:11] - Dougs defining moment
[00:03:27] - Defining sexual addiction
[00:19:41] - What is intimacy anorexia, and what’s contributing to it?
[00:30:37] - Reinforcing yours AND your partner’s experiences, and matching types of expression in sex
[00:39:28] - Partner betrayal trauma
[00:44:08] - What makes intimate relationships unique
[00:46:19] - More on sex and porn addiction
[00:50:45] - Sex addiction and ADHD
[00:54:11] - Can you be addicted to validation?
[00:57:58] - Can sex addiction escalate into something darker?
[01:00:51] - On narcissism

Dr. Doug Weiss is the Executive Director of Heart to Heart Counseling Center and has been helping couples and individuals for over thirty years. He is the President of the American Association for Sexual Addiction Therapy where his treatment model for sex addiction, partner betrayal trauma, and intimacy anorexia is used in counseling practices all over the world.

His direct and charismatic approach to handling tough issues has made him sought after for professional appearances on television shows such as The Oprah Winfrey show, Dr. Phil, Good Morning America, 20/20, The Doctors, Daystar, FoxNews, CNN, Montel, and more.

Dr. Doug Weiss has written and filmed over 40 books and therapeutic teachings that directly address specific issues in relationships regarding intimacy, sex, partner betrayal trauma, sex addiction, parenting, and more. He has had more than one Lifetime movie made about his counseling practice (Heart to Heart Counseling Center) in Colorado Springs.

Men's Work Session - Healing The Relationship To Anger Jun 19, 2023

Talking points: anger, inner critic, passive aggressiveness, shame

Haven't done one of these in a while! Every so often I'll have an anonymous guest on the show to give listeners a glimpse into what men's work at ManTalks is actually like. This time, my guest is already familiar with what we do, so I dive right in.

If you're the kind of person who has difficulty standing up for themselves, or can't seem to control negative self-talk, this may be a helpful episode to dig into. We talk a lot about something I call "implosive anger", aka when instead of having a healthy relationship with the anger you feel, you suppress and direct it back at yourself.

Josh Radnor - On Addiction, Ayahuasca, Success, And Everything In Between Jun 12, 2023

Talking points: addiction, psychedelics, the trouble with success, death, grief, masculinity, How I Met Your Mother

Honestly, there's not a single topic Josh and I didn't cover in this episode. We've been friends for years and wanted to jam together for a long time, and it's clear we had a ton to talk about. Deeply grateful for his insight, perspective, and stories.

This is a great episode if you're looking for the perfect combo of candid, vulnerable, and funny.

[00:06:02] - Josh's defining moments

[00:18:43] - Addictive personalities

[01:14:03] - The role of a parent, unconditional love, and what Josh's dog Nelson has taught him

[01:24:46] - Josh's experience with plant medicines

Writer, director, and actor Josh Radnor is a multifaceted talent, bringing a wealth of experience to all his endeavors. Radnor is perhaps best known for playing Ted, the central character in the seven-time Emmy-winning comedy, "How I Met Your Mother."

Premiering at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award, Radnor directed, wrote and starred in his first feature film, "happythankyoumoreplease." The film was released in March 2011, and featured an ensemble cast including Richard Jenkins, Malin Akerman, Kate Mara, Zoe Kazan, and Tony Hale.

Radnor's second directorial effort came with the Sundance Film Festival favorite "Liberal Arts", which he also wrote and starred in alongside Elizabeth Olsen, Richard Jenkins, and Allison Janney. His upcoming music album, "Eulogy", will be released later this year.

In addition to film and television, Radnor starred on Broadway as the title character in "The Graduate" opposite Kathleen Turner and Alicia Silverstone. Off-Broadway and regionally, he has appeared in productions with the Manhattan Theater Club, The Vineyard Theater, and Baltimore Center Stage, among others. A gifted writer, Radnor has published several articles in the Los Angeles Times Magazine, Guilt and Pleasure Magazine, Moviemaker Magazine, Indiewire, and The Huffington Post.

A native of Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Radnor attended Kenyon College where he won the Paul Newman Acting Trophy. He received his MFA in acting from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. He currently resides in Los Angeles.

Katherine Ann Cantrell - Is Healing Decades Of Trauma Even Possible? Jun 05, 2023

Talking points: trauma, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, trauma culture, therapy

I was connected to Katherine Ann through my own mentor, the incredible gestalt therapist Duey Freeman. Her story is intense, powerful, and most importantly, it's shows the importance and possibilities inherent in trauma work and group work. I applaud Katherine Ann for coming forward and sharing her story.

[00:01:12] - Katherine Ann's defining moment

[00:08:50] - the role Katherine Ann's father played in her life

[00:15:12] - Were you believed about what was happening, and how did your trauma start manifesting?

[00:26:44] - How did what happened shape your perception of men, and how has that evolved since doing trauma excavation?

[00:40:16] - What would you say to people who struggle with forgiving what's happened?

[00:45:27] - What is trauma excavation?

[00:54:44] - Do you get the sense that trauma work has become so mainstream it's been watered down?

Katherine Ann is a mother of five grown children – 2 daughters and 3 stepsons. She resides in Boulder, CO with her beloved husband. After years of abuse and trauma, followed by 30 years (thus far) of healing, she recently released her website – see KatherineAnn.com – and is sharing her life story and experiences in hopes of helping others heal from trauma and abuse, and transform from a place of just surviving to thriving in life. The connection Katherine Ann has with (Connor) is through Duey Freeman, who has been a therapist for almost 50 years with about 80,000 contact hours with clients. Katherine Ann has worked with Duey individually and collectively with her siblings. Recently, Duey stated on Traver Boehm’s podcast that, Katherine Ann, and her brother and her sister, “were involved in probably the most bizarre and intense situation of abuse – both physical and sexual – that I’ve seen.” In 2008, in a letter of promotion for the three siblings when they planned to write a book together, Duey wrote about the abuse as, “the most intense, insidious, and malicious case of abuse and incest I have ever known. It is a story of love and hate, of physical and sexual abuse, of incredible humiliation and manipulation. A story that makes you cry and then pray for both forgiveness and healing.” Katherine Ann’s book will be published later this year.

Traver Boehm - How Do Men Stay Anchored In Modern Times? May 22, 2023

Talking points: AI, gender wars, masculinity, culture, relationships, dating, archetypes, myth

All I can tell you is: this is a big one! Traver and I did an episode exchange for this one, and we always (I mean always) have great, wide-ranging conversations. It’s one of the bes gifts that comes from having old friends.

This is the episode to listen to if you want to hear directly from two men’s coaches who have hands on experience with what men are undergoing these days, and some of the ways we can regulate and manage what seems to be ever-increasing chaos.

[00:03:52] - How social media conversations have gotten a lot more intense—and why
[00:11:03] - How this is affecting men in general
[00:16:57] - So much bad s**t is happening. What does your average man do?
[00:26:56] - What used to be “luxuries” like a morning meditation practice are now tools for survival
[00:33:02] - The effect even a basic participation in online toxicity can have
[00:43:39] - “How do we get men back engaged in relationship itself?”
[00:58:43] - The greatest gift you can give your partner
[01:05:16] - Men need myth
[01:11:50] - Why AI needs to be trained on myth

Traver Boehm is the author of the books “Today I Rise” and “Man UNcivilized”. He’s a two-time TEDx speaker, men’s coach, and the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement. He’s helped men worldwide to become UNcivilized as they wake up to the power of their hearts, the brilliance of their bodies, and the wisdom of their souls so they can blaze their own path by uniquely blending both the primal and the divine within them.

He is dedicated to doing his part to help end the suffering in men, and the suffering caused by men, by guiding them through their own journey into an actualized version of masculinity.

The Weaponization Of Psychology May 18, 2023

This is something I'm seeing a lot on social media, but also in everyday dialogue and even some clients: labeling someone with a definitive psychological term to shut down dialogue or shame someone else, usually without really knowing what's being talked about.

This only speeds up our polarization and harms our ability to connect. How about we...stop doing that?

Note: the article in the NYT I mentioned was written by Dr. Tara Isabella Burton, not Bayo Akomolafe. I'll link it below, along with his interview on the Emerald Podcast.

Dan Cnossen - Navy SEAL To Paralympic Athlete —One Day At A Time May 15, 2023

Talking points: Navy SEALS, grit, BUD/S, hardship, mindset, rehabilitation, paralympics

We had some network issues near the end, so Dan is coming back for round 2 soon! I'm grateful for every single interview I get to do, but it's less often that I'm so deeply humbled. Listening to Dan's story, and his thoughtful and considerate approach to such intense trauma, is something that will stick with me for a long, long time.

Listen to this episode for a gripping and honest look into the life of an incredible athlete.

(00:00:00) - Welcome and Dan's defining moment

(00:06:09) - What was BUD/S like for Dan? What were some the greatest lessons?

(00:19:20) - What goes into being a SEAL?

(00:27:41) - What was your first deployment like?

(00:33:11) - How Dan lost his legs

(00:42:00) - The aftermath and the injuries

(01:02:51) - Where did the desire to become a paralympic athelete come from?

Lieutenant Commander Dan Cnossen was serving as the platoon commander for SEAL Team One in Afghanistan in September 2009 when he stepped on an IED (improvised explosive device) and was wounded in the explosion. The accident caused Cnossen to lose both his legs just above the knee. After over forty surgeries, Cnossen went through rehabilitation at the Bethesda National Naval Medical Center and later at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he learned to walk with his new prosthetics. Dan was awarded both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with Valor from the Secretary of the Navy for his service in combat. Grew up on a fifth-generation family farm in Kansas, and his hobbies include running, reading, traveling, and surfing.

Here's How You Deal With Regret May 11, 2023

Talking points: regret, purpose, direction

I was recently reminded of a powerful moment I had with an old mentor. At the time, I was having trouble deciding what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go, and I felt directionless and fearful of regret. This is a topic I've covered before, but it's one worth reflecting on. Listen in.

Coleman Hughes - The Collapse Of Moderate Politics May 08, 2023

Talking point: centrism, politics, social media, racism, censorship, AI, China, CRT

Hot on the heels of last week's chat with Amir Odom, Coleman and I dug into a wide range of topics. We mostly focused on political polarization and where that's coming from, but also how AI might play into further issues, his definition of critical race theory, and much more.

Listen to this episode if you've been curious about any of the above talking points, don't know where to start, and want a level-headed discussion. Coleman is a smart guy, and (I'd say) mostly center-right in his politics, so this is a good place to begin gaining awareness of the issues.

[00:04:33] - Coleman's defining moment

[00:10:16] - Do you think we live in a death-phobic culture?

[00:14:50] - When you look at the American political landscape, how do you describe what's happening?

[00:22:45] - Do you have any hope for the de-polarization of America?

[00:31:55] - What are you most concerned about re: American democracy in 2023?

[00:41:02] - CRT and education

[00:51:50] - Cultural power vs political power

[00:57:34] - On victimhood

[01:05:31] - Can you define a race-blind society?

Coleman Hughes is a writer, podcaster, and opinion columnist who specializes in issues related to race, public policy, and applied ethics. Coleman’s writing has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, National Review, Quillette, The City Journal, and The Spectator. He has appeared on many TV shows and podcasts, including Real Time with Bill Maher, Making Sense with Sam Harris, and The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast.

In June 2019, he testified before the U.S. Congress. Born and raised in northern New Jersey, Coleman briefly attended the Juilliard School to study jazz trombone before dropping out to pursue a career as an independent jazz/hip-hop artist. Shortly thereafter, Coleman discovered a passion for applied ethics and public policy at Columbia University, where he graduated with a B.A. in philosophy.

What Pornhub Data Says About Men May 04, 2023

Talking points: porn, stress, hentai, isolation

Every year, Pornhub releases a bunch of stats detailing how long people are watching, top search terms, when people are watching, and more. This data is from Dec 2022, so it's a bit old, but I wanted to share some thoughts on what some of these stats might be implying, particularly for men.

This is an episode for anyone curious about porn's implications outside of just "sexual entertainment". I go into how it might be affecting (or a be a response to) other parts of our lives, and offer up some thoughts on what to do.

Amir Odom - Leaving BLM, And Concerns About The LGBTQ Community May 01, 2023

Talking points: growing up gay, LGBTQ+ issues, trans issues, culture

Fair warning, this is a different kind of episode than the ones I usually put out. I encourage you to listen to it fully. Thanks to Amir for his candor and willingness to come on the show.

Amir Odom takes time every week to reflect on…well, anything that’s been on his mind that week. Sometimes it’s current events, sometimes it’s a story from 10 years ago, sometimes it’s a conspiracy theory and sometimes it’s his alter ego “Jamal” going on a rant. You never know what you are going to get, but that’s what keeps it interesting.

[05:17] - Amir’s defining moment
[10:24] - What was life like for Amir growing up?
[21:34] - Do Black Americans still face systemic issues?
[27:27] - Is the culture most Black men grow up under not conducive? Why?
[29:14] - Broadly, what’s going on in the LGBTQ+ community?
[48:54] - Amir’s mission

Why Bother Getting Married? Apr 27, 2023

Talking points: marriage, relationships

With marriage rates seemingly at an all-time low, and most of the old reasons for marriage largely defunct, it's a question many men are asking. It was something I wrestled with too. So...why bother with marriage? And why did I get married?

[00:00] - Statistics on marriage and some of the reasons we used to get married

Danica Patrick - Where Achievement And Spirituality Meet Apr 24, 2023

Talking points: masculinity, femininity, achievement, dating, psychedelics, competition, culture, truth, what men and women want (and what they get wrong)

Wow. Danica and I covered a LOT of territory in this conversation. Like, top 3 widest-ranging conversations I’ve had on the podcast. Listen in for everything from masculine/feminine dynamics, to the nature of truth, to sharing psychedelic stories, to what men get wrong about women (and vice versa).

This is a brilliant episode to dig into if you’re looking less for answers and more for wonder. Much of what we discussed is better served by not forcing solutions, but simply wondering about viewpoints. Plus, you get a little of everything in this one!

[00:03:54] - Danica’s defining moment

[00:11:41] - Women and the masculine

[00:17:49] - How did masculine energy show up in Danica’s career?

[00:23:47] - How does it feel to be told, as a woman, “You’re more masculine than I am”?

[00:37:17] - The intersection of achievement and spirituality

[00:44:52] - Psychedelic experiences

[00:54:24] - How has your imagination and curiosity shaped your life?

[01:08:28] - How do you view the masculine and feminine culturally?

[01:30:18] - What do women get wrong about men, and vice versa?

About Danica Patrick

At just 10 years old, Danica’s racing career began after her parents bought her a go-kart. After winning numerous regional and national go-kart titles, Danica left the Midwest at 16 years old to compete in the cutthroat world of European road racing.

As a racecar driver, Danica Patrick broke barriers and set records with her on-track performance. With her racing career behind her, Danica looks to her next chapter as she focuses on her passions: good food, great wine, fitness and helping others achieve their goals.

Moving into her next chapter, retired from racing, Danica’s focus has shifted to her role as an entrepreneur and business owner. Danica has launched the clothing line – Warrior by Danica Patrick, authored a book Pretty Intense, and is the sole proprietor of Somnium, a vineyard in Napa Valley, California. In addition to these passion projects, Danica also continues to do inspirational speaking engagements and she plans to build upon these initiatives in the coming years.

The Big Misunderstanding About What Women Are Attracted To Apr 20, 2023

Shorter episode today, but something I'd love to get your thoughts on. This came from a recent conversation between Lex Friedman and Aella, a sex researcher, writer, and sex worker.

She surveyed her followers on what men and women actually want in the bedroom, and noticed an interesting discrepancy. I polled my own followers and found something similar. Listen in!

How To Stay Calm When She's Upset Apr 13, 2023

Talking points: breathwork, calm, emotional volatility

I've talked pretty often about leading in a relationship, but a session with a recent client inspired me to dig into one of the more key components: regulating yourself and staying level-headed while your partner is upset. What does this mean, how do you do it, and why? Listen in.

Ten Ways Men Destroy Their Lives Apr 06, 2023

Talking points: masculinity, discipline, purpose

How's that for a spicy title?

This is a look at some common behaviors and patterns I've seen in men overall, clients I've worked with, and my own life. Patterns that erode our capacity to truly live, lead, and love.

01:31 - We lack impulse control

04:06 - We chase p***y over purpose

08:42 - We don’t clarify our values, and we don’t say no to ourselves

09:35 - We pick the wrong partner

12:26 - We settle for an “okay” career or business

17:10 - We lack like-minded men that our willing to challenge us

21:21 - We haven’t prioritized seeing what our body is capable of

24:23 - We choose domestication over discipline

26:15 - We don’t take money seriously

30:11 - We disconnect from a sense of wonder

Frans de Waal - Defining Gender Through The Eyes Of A Primatologist Apr 03, 2023

Talking points: gender, gender equality, alpha males, alpha females, violence, culture, psychology

I’ve been following Frans’ work for a while, and have admired how dedicated he is to his work and to uncovering the complexity of primates. This was such an enjoyable and fascinating conversation!

This episode is a compelling look at just how complex and nuanced something like gender can be, from one of THE world’s top primatologists. With more and more pressure to outsource your opinions, your arguments, and your beliefs to the fastest talking pundit, it’s more important than ever to take a step back, breathe, and check the science.

Dr. Frans B. M. de Waal is a Dutch/American biologist and primatologist known for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates. His first book, Chimpanzee Politics (1982) compared the schmoozing and scheming of chimpanzees involved in power struggles with that of human politicians. Ever since, de Waal has drawn parallels between primate and human behavior, from peacemaking and morality to culture. His scientific work has been published in hundreds of technical articles in journals such as Science, Nature, Scientific American, and outlets specialized in animal behavior. His popular books — translated into twenty languages — have made him one of the world's most visible primatologists. His latest books are The Age of Empathy (2009), and The Bonobo and the Atheist (2013). Two recent edited volumes are The Primate Mind (2012) and Evolved Morality (2014).

De Waal is C. H. Candler Professor in the Psychology Department of Emory University and Director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, in Atlanta, Georgia. Since 2013, he is a Distinguished Professor (Universiteitshoogleraar) at Utrecht University. He has been elected to the (US) National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences. In 2007, he was selected by Time as one of The Worlds' 100 Most Influential People Today, and in 2011 by Discover as among 47 (all time) Great Minds of Science. Being editor-in-chief of the journal Behaviour, de Waal has stepped in the footsteps of Niko Tinbergen, one of the founders of ethology.

His latest research concerns empathy and cooperation, inequity aversion and social cognition in chimpanzees, bonobos, and other species. He and his students have pioneered studies on how behavior is culturally transmitted in the primates, whether elephants recognize themselves in mirrors, how primates react to unequal reward divisions, how well primates spontaneously cooperate, and whether bonobo orphans are as emotionally affected by their trauma as human orphans.

Why Are 66% Of Young Men Single? Mar 30, 2023

Talking points: dating apps, selection preferences, statistics, what to do

I don't know the specific number of people actually satisfied with the modern dating scene, but given what I've read and researched, it's a VERY small number. What happened, and what can men do?

In this mini-ep, I dig into some statistics around modern dating, how it's been a growing shift for a while now, and what young men can do about it instead of giving in to cynicism, misogyny, or victimhood.

[00:00] The stats and what women seem to want.

[03:58] Women’s selection preferences mean their pool of eligible men is shrinking.

[06:27] Even I noticed this back in the day.

[08:02] The data can be overwhelming; what are the consequences of that?

[11:21] Prioritize male friendships. Go out and do things. Here’s why.

[15:33] Don’t allow yourself to read data like this and become the victim.

[16:24] How Quinn Mossmacher in White Lotus seems like the epitomization of what many young men are experiencing.

Darren Silver - The Importance Of Direct Connection To Nature Mar 27, 2023

Talking points: vision quests, initiation, culture, ritual

Do things like vision quests and ceremony actually DO anything? Should they? What does it mean to "connect to a place"? What happens to a man when he's immersed in nature—without a phone or a to-do list or even a destination? These are some of the wonderings I had with Mr. Darren Silver in this fascinating and enjoyable conversation. I'm a big believer in getting everything, not just men, out into the wild occasionally to reconnect with the non-human, and Darren shows us just how fruitful that can be.

Darren Silver, MA, is a rite of passage guide, Nature-Connected Coach, ceremonialist, and innovative educator. He has over a decade of experience working with ritual, wilderness living skills, and guiding transformational experiences residentially and internationally. A gifted storyteller and apprentice to the old myths, Darren weaves the power of the natural world, vision, and community in devotion to the remembrance of regenerative culture.

The Importance Of Myth In Personal Development, Growth, And Healing Mar 23, 2023

One of biggest traps in anyone's healing journey is the idea that it's linear and rational. Yeah, you need tactics and plans, but if you go in thinking healing of ANY kind is like a recipe for cookies, you're not gonna have a good time.

This is where the archetypal and symbolic power of myth comes in. Have a listen.

Adam Hart - Staying Grounded When Everything Wants Your Attention Mar 20, 2023

Talking points: breath work, balance, burnout, stress and the brain, hustle culture, children, digital detoxing

It's a very demanding jungle out there. In a culture that seems to thrive on your being burnt out, how do you fight back? Can you? I sat down with my old friend Adam Hart this week to cover exactly that.

Many of Adam's clients compare his work to a finding the “Fountain of Youth” as they regularly break free from self sabotage, fatigue and unhealthy behaviours that they have been stuck in for you years.

Adam specializes in helping people ignite their full potential by unlocking themselves from patterns of stress and anxiety and begin to master the mindset necessary for living a fulfilled and purposeful life.

With a degree in Sociology and accreditation by the Canadian Mental Health Association, Adam has coached hundreds of people over the past 15+ years as Founder of Clear Impact, established in 2005.

When Adam is not coaching, he can be found hanging out with his loving wife and two kids in the mountains of Squamish BC, Canada. Together they enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking, skiing, and foraging in nature.

Fun Fact: Adam loves playing hide and seek with his kids. Sometimes he even wins.

The Biggest Lie About Self-Sabotage Mar 16, 2023

Cue "Sweet Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac, please.

Why DO we self-sabotage? Why do we spend the money we don't have, break down the gym routine or go for the nastiest fast food—even after we've decided we're stopping? I think one of the most popular reasons we're given is actually pretty...wrong.

Boyd Varty - Lion Tracking, Meaning Making, And Healing Trauma Mar 13, 2023

Talking points: working in/with the wild, initiation, trauma, what nature teaches you, masculinity

This has been one of my most anticipated guests of all time. Like, years. An incredible storyteller, a man with a mighty heart and passion for everything wilderness, this is an episode I encourage you to share with the men in your life. Seriously.

The wildlife and literacy activist Boyd Varty, author of the memoir Cathedral of the Wild, had an unconventional upbringing. Born to a family of conservationists, Boyd grew up on Londolozi Game Reserve in the South African wilderness, a place where man and nature strive for balance, where perils exist alongside wonders. Founded more than 90 years ago as a hunting ground, Londolozi was transformed into a nature reserve beginning in 1973 by Varty’s father and uncle, visionaries of the restoration movement. But it wasn’t just a sanctuary for the animals; it was also a place for ravaged land to flourish again and for the human spirit to be restored. When Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment, he came to the reserve to recover.

Since childhood, Boyd shared his home with lions, leopards, snakes, and elephants and has spent his life in apprenticeship to the wisdom of nature. Boyd survived a harrowing black mamba encounter, a debilitating bout with malaria, even a vicious crocodile attack, but his biggest challenge was a personal crisis of purpose. As a university student, he studied psychology and ecology, supplementing his education by learning martial arts in Thailand, hiking through the jungles of the Amazon, and apprenticing to a renowned tracker from the Shangaan tribe, deepening his intimate knowledge of the natural world. Boyd grew up speaking the local language and learning the true meaning of coexistence between people and with nature.

WTF Is Going On In The Manosphere? Mar 02, 2023

Why Do Men Care About A Woman's Sexual Past? Feb 23, 2023

Now of course, not all men care, but I wanted to answer this question because it's something I get asked about a LOT—and almost always from women. It's a complex topic, too, but I wanted to be as succinct as possible.

We look at origin stories, aka how family patterns also create patterns in ourselves—that then impact our lives and relationships in so many different ways. This is definitely an episode to share with someone, or to listen alongside your partner!

Seven Psychology Terms From Carl Jung Feb 16, 2023

As many of you already know, I'm inspired a lot by Jung's work. This week, I wanted to cover seven Jung terms as I understand them, because I see them mentioned a lot out there; from the collective unconscious and the shadow, to the persona and the animus.

What's The Difference Between Anger And Rage? Feb 02, 2023

It might sound odd, but I think there are significant differences between the two, and it's important to train ourselves to understand those differences. Why? Because if you know how to work with them, they're not going to hinder your progress or damage your relationships. It's that simple.

Jeremie Lotemo - Navigating America, Masculinity, And Partnership Jan 30, 2023

Talking points: transition, moving from the Congo to America, equality, masculinity, and relationships.

This was a phenomenal conversation. Full stop. Jeremie and I cover a lot of ground, and I'm grateful to have his insight and perspective on men's work. It's nuanced, clear, and deeply authentic.

Jeremie Lotemo is a transformation coach helping clients create lasting change by examining the stories and beliefs that influence them on an unconscious level. He works to help them reestablish safety in the body in order to recognize these beliefs and release them completely.

Before becoming a coach, Jeremie was an account manager for one of the fastest-growing marketing agencies in Atlanta, eventually developing his own agency. For years, he helped clients use advertising to influence the behavior of their customers. This led him to analyze how much of his own life, choices, and ambitions were a product of someone else’s story.

He left advertising and now uses his skills to help others write a story that’s entirely their own.

The Power Of Self-Recognition, And How To Develop It Jan 26, 2023

What if you didn't need outside validation? What if you could actually celebrate your own achievements? In a decade of working with men, I've noticed a lot of us struggle with this (myself included) and that hinders our capacity to contribute to the world the way we want to. So here are some ways to develop better self-recognition skills—and why.

Why Men Don't Go To Therapy Jan 19, 2023

I'm sure you've heard the joke: men will start five separate podcasts before they go to therapy.

There are lots of reasons why the stereotype exists, but it's my job to take it seriously. Here's my take on one of the deeper reasons why many men avoid seeing a counselor, a coach, a psychiatrist, or a psychotherapist.

Talking points: psychedelics, psychedelic-assisted therapy, men and therapy, the effects during and after taking psychedelics

I've been looking forward to releasing the second part of our convo as a way of kicking off what 2023 could be for mental health. Nick is very well-informed, and if you've ever been curious about something like psilocybin, or just wanted some clarification on how psychedelics can affect a person and assist with powerful healing, this one is for you.

Part 1 was about the fears and worries people can have around psychedelic experiences, and an overview of how they work and what their potential is.

You can check out part 1 here: https://link.chtbl.com/tnw-t7gl

Dr. Nicholas Bruss is a licensed psychotherapist in Los Angeles, CA, specializing in integrative, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). He is certified in Mindfulness Facilitation at UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC), Los Angeles, CA, and as a Compassion Cultivation Teacher at Stanford University’s Center for Compassion, Altruism, Research and Education (CCARE), Stanford, CA.

Should You Masturbate While In A Relationship? Jan 12, 2023

Humble The Poet - What Is Love? Jan 09, 2023

Baby don't hurt me for the cheesy (but very appropriate) title. You'll just have to listen in.

Talking points: love, family, growing up as an immigrant, community, vulnerability, business, self-love vs self-respect vs self-esteem

Huge honor to sit down with Humble the Poet last month. This was a fascinating and engaging conversation. I deeply appreciate his creative, spiritual, and energetic approach to one of biggest human questions: what is love, really?

Kanwer Singh aka Humble The Poet is a Toronto-bred MC/Spoken word artist with an aura that embodies the diversity and resiliency of one of the world’s most unique cities.

With tattoos, beard, head wrap, and a silly smile, Humble commands attention. He stimulates audiences with ideas that challenge conventional wisdom and go against the grain, with dynamic live sets that shake conventions and minds at the same time.

Humble's distinctive style and point of view have also been featured on popular television program CBC's Canada Reads, and took home top prize. He was also featured in Apple's first Canadian ad spot for their #ShotOnIphone campaign. Humble's latest EP titled Righteous/Ratchet features the first single H.A.I.R, a celebration of women of all shapes, sizes, hair, and walks of life. His self-directed video for H.A.I.R has amassed almost 2 million views since its release. The video features YouTube sensation and longtime collaborator Lilly Singh.

Humble's first book, Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths For A Better Life, was published through Indigo Press in October 2017. It became a Heather's Pick and has stayed on the Globe & Mail Bestsellers list since its release. Unlearn was re-released with Harper Collins Publishing in April 2019. Humble's next book: Things No One Else Can Teach Us was released in the fall of 2019.

His latest book is titled HOW TO BE LOVE(d): Simple Truths For Going Easier On Yourself, Embracing Imperfection & Loving Your Way To A Better Life. Humble offers insightful stories from his own deeply personal experience with love and down-to-earth advice on the most important lesson he’s ever learned: love isn’t found or earned, it’s realized.

The Myth Of Male Vulnerability Jan 05, 2023

One of the bigger asks of men these days can be summed up as "be more vulnerable". But what does that mean? Specifically, what does that mean for men in real life, not just online? Like so many things, the issue is so much more complex.

Ryan Michler - What Is Masculinity And Why It Matters Jan 02, 2023

Ryan was one of the very first guests I had on the show, so this has been a long overdue conversation! As per the title, this is a simple but charged interview; we dig deep into Ryan's take on the question "what is masculinity?"

Ryan Michler is a husband, father, Iraqi Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. Ryan grew up without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has impacted society today. He believes many of the world’s most complicated problems could be solved if men everywhere learned how to be better husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders.

It has now become his life’s mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. You can find him blogging and podcasting at Order of Man where he is working to help men become all they were meant to be.

New Year's Resolutions Don't Work. Try This Instead. Dec 29, 2022

If you've been listening for a while, you know full well I'm not a fan of New Year's Resolutions. Back in my early thirties, after countless attempts at getting into the next gym habit or productivity hack, I practiced something else that had a lot more impact. This is what it was.

Dr. Nicole LePera - Defining The Self And The Work To Become More Authentic Dec 26, 2022

It's been a long time since I've had Dr. LePera on the show. Too long, in my opinion. Earlier this month, we got into a discussion that was equal parts practical and esoteric: what is the self? This was inspired by her newly released book, How To Meet Yourself.

This was such an enjoyable conversation, and as always, I'm honored to have the chance to know and speak to the Holistic Psychologist herself! Listen in.

Dr. Nicole LePera was trained in clinical psychology at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research. She also studied at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. As a clinical psychologist in private practice, Dr. Nicole LePera often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients—and for herself—she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. Nothing short of a paradigm shift, Dr. Nicole LePera’s teachings empower the individual to break free from trauma cycles and create who they want to become.

Let's make this one short and sweet. I've found in my years of working with men that many will very, very quickly start neglecting their own needs and desires in order to fulfill someone else's. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that IF (and only if) there's balance. Listen in.

Kyle Creek - On Depression, Social Media, And Entering Into Fatherhood Dec 19, 2022

Ladies and gentlemen, Kyle Creek, aka The Captain. When I first came across this man's work, I greatly admired his amazing ability to get straight to the point. I've wanted to have him on the show ever since. This is a wide-ranging, honest conversation on fatherhood, depression, how social media affects our individuality, and so much more.

Also, I'm going to share his website bio here unedited because it's...well, it's just fantastic.

"As a kid, I wanted to be a cowboy. Then, my mom bought me a skateboard and I got on with my life. In college, I decided copywriting was the career move for me and, for the last decade, I’ve held a variety of creative positions both in-house and within agency settings. I’ve also published five books, spoken at events around the country, and educated the masses about shark dating as the host of “Shark Sex 101” for Discovery Channel’s ever-popular Shark Week series.

My work has had its share of recognition — but nothing will ever mean as much to me as the “2016 AAF People’s Choice Show Winner” award that I received for tattooing a former employer’s face on my ass as part of a charity auction.

My only regret in life is being just a grammar gunslinger and not an actual cowboy. I don’t even own a horse."

Britt Frank - Motivation, Anxiety, And The Science Of Stuck Dec 05, 2022

This. Was. So enjoyable. Britt has a gift for cutting through to the heart of seemingly complex topics. Her book, The Science of Stuck, resonated with me in the best way, so I had to have her on the show. We cover a lot, but mainly where to begin working with anxiety, motivation, and feeling stuck—things I think every one of us has experienced on some level.

Born and raised in NY, Britt struggled for more than two decades with chemical/behavioral addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, trichotillomania, crazy-making relationships, and complex PTSD. After finding her way out of that mess (with a lot of help and a brief stint in a religious cult), Britt changed careers, went back to graduate school, and became a therapist.

Britt received her undergraduate degree from Duke University and her master’s degree from the University of Kansas. She is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert who is trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and SE (Somatic Experiencing). In addition to her private practice, Britt is also a speaker and an award-winning adjunct instructor at the University of Kansas, where she’s taught classes on ethics, addiction, and clinical social work.

Can A Relationship Be Repaired After Infidelity? Dec 01, 2022

My opinion is yes, but it's NOT easy. Most (if not all) of us will experience some form of infidelity or betrayal over the course of our relationship history. Shouldn't we pay more attention to even the possibility of repair, as well as learn ways of repairing effectively?

Defining Purpose Nov 24, 2022

You see (and read, and hear) a LOT about purpose. What it is, where to find it, yada yada yada. I'm not so sure purpose is that easily defined. I'm not convinced it's something you can even find. Why? You'll just have to listen in.

Men's Work Session - Healing The Masculine Within Nov 22, 2022

I want to begin by saying how grateful I am for each and every man who steps into these sessions. This can be difficult, uncomfortable, painful work. My guest this week came to me struggling with confidence and self-worth, which was (as we found out) connected to his father's anger. Listen in.

What Every Man Should Know About Sex Nov 17, 2022

Specifically, about how his nervous system handles sex.

Continuing on the theme this week—first Dr. Laurie Watson and now my own work. I've asked this question at men's weekends, in coachings, and the answer almost always surprises me. A lot of men know the very, very basics of arousal in their own bodies, but that's...it. Let's change that.

This Is The Most Valuable Masculine Trait—Arguably Nov 10, 2022

This is kind of a two-partner. I wanted to talk a little more about the idea of "toxic masculinity" and what that term does in practice to men—and why it does those things.

Secondly, I want to bring what I think is an incredibly misunderstood masculine trait. It's not necessarily any of the classical ones like "strength" or "rationality". It's also something that requires cultivation, nuance, and respect for the world. Listen in.

Men's Work Session - The Weight Of A Parent's Depression Nov 07, 2022

We all know intellectually that more than genetics gets passed down. Behaviors, opinions, and traumas can get transferred too. How it manifests, though, can be very different for every individual.

In this anonymous men's work session, my guest and I work with the weight of a parent's past trauma. For the parent, it was depression and rejection of her partner's affection, but for my guest, it's become something different. Listen in.

Three Feminine Archetypes Men Are Drawn To Nov 03, 2022

Let me preface this by defining what I mean by "archetype": a framework that works well for looking at certain patterns and traits. As far as I can tell, these three archetypes work together, and they're also three major archetypes men tend to fall for. Often unconsciously.

What also happens is men can get stuck or fixated on one of them in a relationship, and this can lead to complications.

Four Finance Lessons I Wish I'd Learned Earlier Oct 27, 2022

Andrew Tate: Why Him, And Why Now? Oct 20, 2022

Just the mention of him is enough to set Reddit threads on fire, and it's understandable why. But I want to talk about what many of us are ignoring or distracted from: how a person like Tate gets attention—and why. Think whatever you want of him, but he's a symptom of some larger issues. Here is my reaction to a clip of his, and some thoughts on what those larger issues might be.

There are moments in the podcast life that aren't just a highlight, they straight-up blow your mind. Wim Hof has been an inspiration for me and many friends and men I've worked with for years now.

Do. Not. Miss. This.

Her charities of choice are Ally Global Foundation, helping survivors of human trafficking to rebuild their lives (@allyglobal), Trees Sisters’ reforestation projects (@treesisters_official), and VDay, a movement to end violence against women and girls (vdayorg).

She lives in Vancouver, BC.

Should Men Get Better Or Women Lower Their Expectations? Oct 06, 2022

You work in coaching and stick around on social media for five minutes and you'll see variations of these questions. And a lot of vitriol alongside.

Dr. Marisa Franco - The Profound Science Of Friendship Oct 03, 2022

Seriously, this was a fantastic and mind-opening conversation. I get asked a lot about how to make—and keep—friends, and in a world that increasingly tries to isolate us, it's more important than ever to cultivate the SKILL of making friends. Dr. Franco and I lean into how friendship impacts depression and purpose, her NYT bestselling book (which is @#$%ing good), how attachment style impacts how you perceive friends, and of course, why you should build your friend circle consciously and deliberately.

Dr. Marisa Franco is a New York Times bestselling author, professor, and psychologist. She communicates the science of connection in digestible ways and is passionate about sharing research with the people it could help the most.

Franco holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Maryland and works as a professor there currently. She writes for Psychology Today and has been a featured psychologist in The New York Times, NPR, and Good Morning America. Dr. Franco delivers talks about connection and belonging all over the country to private companies, universities, and non-profit organizations.

Tell Her What The !@#$ You Want Sep 15, 2022

I've seen it happen too often. Men get this idea that they shouldn't have (or express) any needs. Then they lose sight of those needs and they and their partner are left guessing, reactive, and confused. This is a particular problem for Nice Guys.

Tim Corcoran - The Purpose Crisis Sep 13, 2022

This has got to be the soonest I've had a guest return for a "part 2" conversation. Tim is an expert at connecting people their purpose, something he considers soul-based. Our last conversation was powerful, but I felt we'd just scratched the surface. So dig in with us here on why so many men feel purposeless, the role nature plays in that, how technology alters how we connect, and much, much more.

Tim Corcoran is the founder of Purpose Mountain, where he serves as a certified Nature-Based Purpose Guide to support people who hear the call from wild nature to discover their purpose, those with a burning desire to live their vision and a willingness to work with resistance and fears through the Ecology of Self and Voice Dialogue. Tim also serves as co-Director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, an organization he co-founded with his wife, Jeannine Tidwell, in Sandpoint, Idaho in 2005 dedicated to facilitating deep nature connection mentoring, cultural restoration, and inner tracking.

Tim is a leader of men’s groups and holistic rites of passage for males, guiding and initiating men and boys into the new paradigm of the mature masculine. Since 1999, Tim has dedicated his life towards consciously furthering this vision of living in balance with the Earth, community, family, self, spirit, and soul. Healing the cultural rift between the mainstream and indigenous cultures, transformational consciousness work, the spiritual journey, ancestral work, deep nature connection, family and holistic health are all deep commitments in his life. Tim is a heart-centered father of two brilliant boys and husband to a magnificent wife and lives in pristine Sandpoint, Idaho.

Why She Won't Let You Lead Aug 18, 2022

Leadership in the context of your relationship is a tricky subject, but it's something I'm asked about daily by both men and women. So naturally, I've dedicated a lot of time lately to the subject.

When it comes to questions like "why won't she let me take the lead", there are all sorts of reasons—and all sorts of responses. I share some of those here, including responses to my own content that have surprised me.

Men's Work Session - Healing Your Relationship To Anger Aug 15, 2022

(Apologies in advance, something was up with the audio for this one) Now and then, I put out the call and feature a session with someone I’ve never worked with before. This work took place over the course of an hour or so, and we've shorted it here for easier listening.

My guest today is someone who grew up in a hostile environment, and his end result as an adult was a feeling of numbness and a hard time recognizing the emotions he felt. We work to identify and give voice to what he's feeling, particularly his anger and sadness.

I've wrestled with numbness too, and I'm sure there are a lot of guys out there in similar situations. So listen in and don't forget to share with someone you feel might benefit from this kind of work.

This month I've been talking a lot about leading in the context of relationship, and how you're influencing and guiding yourself is one of the more important parts of the equation.

Jason Kander - The Invisible Storm Of PTSD Aug 01, 2022

A lot of misunderstanding surrounds Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and yet it's one of most impactful injuries that can happen to a person. So when I heard of Jason Kander, a former Army Captain and political leader who's been decisively honest with his experience, I immediately wanted him on the show to shed some light. It was an honor.

Jason provides a more nuanced and experienced definition of what PTSD is and what it feels like, and we cover how PTSD affected Jason's mindset, career, wife, and family.

If you're a veteran (or know one) and this show resonates, don't hesitate to call the Veterans Crisis Line; call 988 and then hit 1 to speak with someone (or text 838255). In Canada, call 1-800-268-7708, and in Australia, 1800 011 046.

Jason Kander is a former Army Captain and intelligence officer who served in Afghanistan, and was the first millennial ever elected to a statewide office. He is the current president of national expansion at Veterans Community Project, a non-profit providing housing and walk-in services to American veterans, and co-founder of the Afghan Rescue project, a non-profit that has safely gotten over 1700 men, women, and children out of Afghanistan. Kander is also the host of Majority 54, a popular political podcast. Jason’s first book, Outside the Wire was a New York Times bestseller, as is his second book Invisible Storm: A Soldier's Memoir of Politics and PTSD, a brutally honest memoir of his struggle (and healing) with PTSD. He lives in Kansas City with his family.

Stop Trying To Figure Her Out Jul 28, 2022

If you scroll around in the manosphere long enough, you'll come across the idea that all women are understandable in the exact same way, and if you just follow some specific modality (that usually costs an arm and a leg) you'll understand women better than they understand themselves...

Uh, that's not how any of this works, so listen in for a different approach and stop doing both women and yourself a disservice. Let me know what you think; hit me up @mantalks on Instagram.

GS Youngblood - The Art Of Embodiment Jul 25, 2022

I've recently had a lot of men ask me about embodiment. What does it mean? Why does that term get thrown around so much? Hot on the heels of last week's episode with John Wineland (another embodiment coach) comes GS Youngblood, a friend of mine who's been working and coaching embodiment practices for years.

This is a great episode if you want to truly get a feel for what embodiment means, how it's practiced, and why it's so effective. GS even takes me through a short, two minute "sample" practice. We also dig into how embodiment can help with sex, desire discrepancy, overwhelm, and more.

GS Youngblood coaches men in relationship and how to live, love, and lead from their masculine core. He has been a student and creator in the fields of men's work for over a decade. Through this lens of masculine leadership, he also pulls in principles from a variety of fields: psychology, martial arts, tango, meditation, and BDSM. All of his writings are filtered through the laboratory of his and his clients' real-world, long-term relationships (including both the successes and spectacular failures) to see what actually works and what doesn't.

Can You Fail Your Way To Remarkable? Jul 21, 2022

The answer's yes, but not in the way you might think. I don't mean "failing upwards", and I definitely don't mean spending all your mental energy worrying about what might happen. This is about treating failure as motivation. As fuel. Listen in.

Is there anything better than having an old friend on your podcast? John is a brilliant and passionate mind in the realm of masculine wellness, and we cover a ton of ground here. What "integration" actually means, John's new book, why disconnect and fear can be so damaging, the temptation to just layer new knowledge on top of old patterns. This is a big one, so listen in.

Known for his groundbreaking work with men, John travels world-wide teaching his vision of embodied men's work and deep relational practice. In 2014, he founded The New Men’s Work Project, which has attracted men from around the world looking to develop as leaders in their relationships and communities. The Project is committed to the staggering goal of creating 1000 men's groups worldwide in the next ten years and has already supported trainings and groups throughout Europe and the U.S. John's clients include entrepreneurs, leading thinkers in the world of personal development and entertainment, Ted speakers and creative leaders in Hollywood.

John brings a multi-faceted approach, which is both energetic and highly practical, to his workshops and experiential coaching sessions. John's embodiment-driven teaching draws from not only over 30 years experience of his own Buddhist meditative practice, but from 13 years intensive study and practice with renowned Yogic Intimacy teacher, David Deida. Drawing from Deida's revolutionary framework, as well as the deep lineages of Vajrayana, Tantra, Kundalini yoga, Taoist and Iron Shirt Qigong traditions, John seeks to create a profound experience for men and women longing to express their deepest desires with open, fierce and loving hearts.
John's work has been featured on multiple podcast and publications; including Zen Habits, The Elephant Journal, Sex with Emily, Man Talks, The Good Men Project and Love TV. John's first book, The Art of Masculine Leadership, will be available June 2022. He will also be traveling throughout Europe and the U.S. leading workshops on embodied men's work, spiritual intimacy and sexual practice.

Jack Donovan - The Way Of Men Jul 11, 2022

To put it bluntly, this was quite the conversation. I've found Jack Donovan's work to be both challenging, compelling, and ultimately fascinating—and it's not for the faint of heart. So naturally, I wanted him on the show. Listen in as Jack and I dig into what men of today are facing, modern culture's perspective on masculinity, balancing responsibility and freedom, the role of fathers, and of course, what really are the core tactical and mythic components of "masculinity" as a concept.

Jack Donovan has been writing and speaking about masculinity, masculine philosophy and spirituality for over a decade. His foundational book, The Way of Men, has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Polish. His most recent book, Fire in the Dark, presents a primal system of masculine roles and shows how those roles have been repeated again and again throughout the history of myth and religion.

Donovan is an occasional speaker and often appears on podcasts to discuss masculinity and the challenges faced by men who want to live masculine lives in the 21st Century.

In 2021, he founded CHEST Magazine with Tanner Guzy to create an alternative to mainstream men’s magazines. CHEST features interviews with courageous and important American men who are speaking up for men and standing against the forces of chaos and darkness that threaten freedom.

Rules For Friends Jul 07, 2022

Wait, huh? Rules? For friends? Yes.

Here are five I've put together that have helped me maintain meaningful, fulfilling friendships.

Figs O'Sullivan - Breaking Free Of Repeat Conflict In Relationships Jun 26, 2022

Preaching the obvious here, but romantic relationships are complex, and WHY something becomes a conflict can be incredibly hard to map—unless you're Figs O'Sullivan. This was such an enjoyable interview. Figs brings a sense of playfulness and humor to the tough stuff, and helps open up new ways of looking at conflict in relationships, why it happens, why reoccurring arguments happen, how to move through those arguments differently. Have a listen to this alongside your partner!

Figs O’Sullivan was bred and emboldened in Dublin, Ireland and immigrated to the Marin County and San Francisco area in 1994. He was drawn to psychotherapy and self-exploration to better open to, move through, and heal his own emotional pain and suffering, and the last of his family to do so. Figs’ father is an experiential therapist in Ireland, his mother a social worker/probation officer, and his sister is also a psychotherapist in the Bay Area.

He received a BA and MA in Economics from Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland before moving to the States and working as a stockbroker, employee stock options specialist, and executive. He quit the corporate world and attended Esalen in Big Sur, immersing himself in the study of existential psychotherapies, spirituality, body-oriented/somatic modalities, and the therapeutic expressive arts such as drama and dance as ways to uncage life, access inner wisdom, and build capacities for growth and transformation. Figs went on to receive an MA in Counseling Psychology from Meridian University in Petaluma.

He is also extensively studied Gestalt Awareness Practice, Emotionally Focused Therapy (a highly effective form of marriage counseling), Imago, Collaborative Couples Therapy, Experiential Psychotherapy for Couples, Gottman’s work, and more.

Relationship Green Flags Jun 23, 2022

I get asked this a lot: what are my relationship green flags? What would I consider the biggest go-aheads in a partner? And to be honest, these come after a loooong time of not knowing what to look for or what I really wanted!

So consider this list some hard-earned, but simple and tactical things to look out for when pursuing a serious partnership.

Tim Corcoran - The Nature Of Purpose, The Language Of Soul, And Vision Quests Jun 13, 2022

Discovering a sense of purpose in life can feel frustrating and ambiguous at times, and with the mountain of books and guides out there, it's also easy to dismiss the simple act of letting purpose find you, so to speak. Tim Corcoran specializes in helping people cut through the complexity and return to nature, so I sat down with him to dig into the nature and definition of purpose, the point of things like vision quests, and how nature speaks to us.

Tim Corcoran is the founder of Purpose Mountain, where he serves as a certified Nature-Based Purpose Guide to support people who hear the call from wild nature to discover their purpose, those with a burning desire to live their vision and a willingness to work with resistance and fears through the Ecology of Self and Voice Dialogue. Tim also serves as co-Director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, an organization he co-founded with his wife, Jeannine Tidwell, in Sandpoint, Idaho in 2005 dedicated to facilitating deep nature connection mentoring, cultural restoration, and inner tracking.

Tim is a leader of men’s groups and holistic rites of passage for males, guiding and initiating men and boys into the new paradigm of the mature masculine. Since 1999, Tim has dedicated his life towards consciously furthering this vision of living in balance with the Earth, community, family, self, spirit, and soul. Healing the cultural rift between the mainstream and indigenous cultures, transformational consciousness work, the spiritual journey, ancestral work, deep nature connection, family and holistic health are all deep commitments in his life. Tim is a heart-centered father of two brilliant boys and husband to a magnificent wife and lives in pristine Sandpoint, Idaho.

Ask Her This Jun 09, 2022

At the start of a relationship, a lot of men dive headfirst into meeting every need the other person has. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but when you combine it with cultural messaging that seems to say men shouldn't express (or even have) their own needs in a relationship, it prevents both parties from getting to really know each other. So here's one way to break through that!

How To Handle Chronic Complainers May 26, 2022

Years ago I put out a mini-episode on this topic, and on a whim decided to put it on the YouTube channel too. Clearly, complainers were a hot-button issue, because it became one of the top-performing videos on my channel, even though it was just audio.

I wanted to revisit the issue, because I don't think ghosting them, ripping into them, or enabling them are solid ways of helping them (or ourselves). Here are my thoughts; I'd love to hear yours. DM me @mantalks on Instagram.

Do Women Really Want Vulnerable Men? May 23, 2022

Complexity and relationships go together like coffee and Sunday morning, and after working with hundreds of couples I've noticed some common threads that deserve a better look, like "vulnerability". Do women actually want "vulnerable" men? I think the answer is more complex than anyone wants to admit.

Doug McKinley - The Shifting Landscape Of Leadership May 16, 2022

Does effectively leading a company have anything in common with leading your own personal development? Of course, but what parts? This is why I brought in Doug McKinley, whose career has allowed him to bridge an individual psychological practice with coaching execs and organization heads.

We cover adversity and bouncing back from it, the similarities between self-leadership and leadership within an organization, the ways men find success (or hardship) in both, some of the conflicts between what society tells about leadership and what actual effective leading looks like, and how it all. comes. back. to. discipline.

Doug McKinley spent the first 15 years of his vocational life serving as a clinical psychologist and founded his own group practice in the early 90s. He was honored to be able to assist clients in the relief of unnecessary suffering and finding a healing path forward. While this was fulfilling in its own right, Doug knew that he wanted to do more; the collective insights of 30 years of investing in people have led him to the conclusion that clarity and culture are not simply “nice to have.”

After meeting Pat Williams, renowned leadership coach and author, at a conference on marriage counseling, Doug transitioned from clinical psychology into serving clients as an executive leadership development coach and consultant. Part of this transition included moving on from his clinical practice and founding an executive coaching firm. In 2012, Doug created a successful consulting company with a business partner that they would run together until selling it in late 2017.

McKinley currency runs DLM Pathways, an organization dedicated to guiding leaders increase their self-awareness, discover their purpose, and develop their competencies. Doug holds a doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the Adler Professional School of Psychology and a Master's Degree in counseling from Wright State University. He has earned the Master Certified Coach designation from the International Coach Federation and is a practicing member of ICF. Doug is the author of The Resiliency Quest: A Journey of Personal Leadership Development for the Thriving Physician, and the co-author of Go Positive: Lead to Engage. He’s also authored several training program manuals that focus on leadership development.

The Real Reason Women Leave Nice Guys May 12, 2022

Continuing the discussion of nice guys, I wanted to think out loud a little about a question I get a lot: if women want men who are more open, more vulnerable, more reliable, more caring, why is it they still reject men who are those things? It's a complicated subject, and worth thinking about.

Angus Fletcher - Change Your Story, Change Your Life May 09, 2022

Forgive me while I geek out for the rest of the week about this fantastic conversation! After reading Angus' book Wonderworks: Literary Invention and the Science of Stories, I knew I had to get him on the show.

-How literature and apology are two of the oldest, most powerful human inventions.
-A quick look at why AI will never surpass human intelligence

Break Free From Nice Guy Syndrome May 05, 2022

I've worked with men for almost a decade now, am good friends with Dr. Robert Glover, and we've both witnessed the evolution of Nice Guys over the years. I won't lie to you and say breaking free from being the stereotypical "nice guy" is easy—in fact, it's more difficult than most people imagine. But there are a few fundamental things to keep in mind that will make it happen.

Destin Gerek - Connect To Your Sexual Power May 02, 2022

Sex is proof that things can be simple and complex as the same time. Men are no exception, and it's an unhelpful stereotype male sexuality is the same as a light switch: on and off. Destin and I connected to break this stereotype down, and dive into not just the symptoms of issues men face in the bedroom, but the underlying issues and how to approach them. Listen in with your partner and, uh, not in the car with your kids!

Destin Gerek is a globally recognized leading voice in masculinity, sexuality, and personal empowerment. He is founder and CEO of The Evolved Masculine, a pioneering coaching and training company for men, and author of the book “The Evolved Masculine: Be the Man the World Needs, and The One She Craves”. Destin is also an international speaker and host of the podcast, "The Evolved Masculine: Redefining Sex, Power, & Success". His innovative lens is the result of more than 20 years of academic rigor and direct study -- including 7 formative years traveling the world living and teaching as his provocative alter ego, ‘The Erotic Rockstar’. Destin has taken the most potent aspects of his bold life experimentation and integrated it into his iconic body of work, directly supporting thousands of men to have better sex, deeper connections to their masculine power, women, and themselves.

Three Things Every Man Should Do Apr 28, 2022

I don’t always advocate for things men “should” or “must” do, but when I do…

It’s taken years of working on myself, working with mentors, and working with other men to really settle on these three things, but I’ve come to cherish them and what they’ve brought me. I’ve also seen what they’ve brought other men, from friends to coworkers to clients of my own. Long story short: they’ll do you good.

Experts On: Power, Trauma, Failure, Myth, And Addiction Apr 25, 2022

I've had the privilege of interviewing some incredibly wise, compelling, and inspiring people. This is a sampling of not just our most downloaded episodes of this past year, but also some of our more profound moments and profound guests: author Robert Greene, men's work expert Jason Wilson, psychiatrist Dr. Anna Lembke, and mythologist Dr. Martin Shaw. There is also some never-before-released material from spiritual activist Stephen Jenkinson, whose work I deeply admire.

Francis Bacon said, "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested". I humbly suggest the same rule applies to podcast episodes.

How To Cultivate Direction In Your Life Apr 21, 2022

I've found in my work that cultivating direction is one of the most simple-yet-complex things in a man's life. Without it, most men fall into hopelessness, despair, anger, or worse, a kind of stagnant acceptance that's ultimately harmful to themselves and the world around them. So this week, some straightforward steps in how to first find direction, and then how to cultivate it. As always, let me know what you think! DM me on Instagram @mantalks.

Michaela Boehm - Grief, Growth, And Staying Grounded Apr 18, 2022

I'm in the thick of editing my book, so I wanted to reconnect with one of our most popular episodes ever. This was such a good conversation! Michaela and I covered a TON of ground; everything from grief's role in relationships to anal sex (yup). This was originally recorded around May 2020, so it's also an interesting sort of time capsule.

Michaela Boehm teaches and counsels internationally as an expert in intimacy and sexuality. Born and raised in Austria, Michaela combines her background in psychology and extensive clinical experience with her in-depth training in the yogic arts as a classical Kashmiri Tantric lineage holder into a unique offering of experiential learning. She is passionate about teaching skills that enhance deep intimacy, lasting attraction, and give each participant the tools for full embodiment and capacity. Michaela also traveled and co-taught with David Deida for 13 years. Michaela teaches women’s workshops, intimacy intensives for men and women and offers mentorships and relationship counseling. She lives and teaches on a small organic farm in Ojai, California where her land and animals inspire her clients to reconnect intimately with themselves and others.

7 Skills Every Man Should Master Apr 14, 2022

You're damn right it's a clickbait title! And for good reason. I put this list together after years of working with men, observing what most of them struggle with, and where their greatest potential lies. However, it's also influenced by what we're going through socially and politically.

Listen in, and if it resonates with you, DM me. Let me know what skill you're working on! Or if you think I missed an important one, tell me that too. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Daniel Kwak - The Economy And Inflation: WTF? Apr 11, 2022

I started off not really knowing much about money, nor did I have any real opinion about it. I made it, I spent it, and that was that. But recently I've taken a much deeper interest, and tried to educate myself about economics in general, especially with all the uncertainty brewing around global markets, supply chains, and the rest. Join me and Daniel Kwak this week to get a primer.

Daniel Kwak came to the US in 1999 to Chicago, IL. The son of an immigrant pastor, Daniel comes from a background of financial struggle and grew up having to break through language and cultural barriers constantly.

In their early 20s, Sam and his brother Daniel began their real estate investing career, following the sale of their first business, a mobile DJ outfit they started in 2012. After a few years of hard work, they found a financial breakthrough in 2017 going from 0 to 75+ rental units in 1 year.

Both Daniel and his brother now travel and consult other entrepreneurs in real estate investment in person as well as on their YouTube channel.

The 14-Day No Challenge Apr 07, 2022

I created this challenge a while back, and the traction it got was surprising! So after several requests to revisit it, here we are. The No Challenge is a solid way to develop greater confidence and self-sufficiency, as well as clear out some of those nice guy (or nice girl) behaviors you may be having trouble with.

Like most challenges and prompts I offer to listeners, clients, and Alliance members, it's straightforward, but not necessarily simple. Listen in.

Owen Marcus - What Emotional Intelligence Is, And Why Men Need It Apr 04, 2022

In modern masculine culture, there can be a lot of pressure to shut down, suppress, or numb out emotions. But just like everything else we can experience, there's tremendous amounts of information in what we're feeling. This is why I'm such a big advocate for somatic practices—really feeling in your body what's going on—and cultivating emotional intelligence. And it's why I sat with EVRYMAN co-founder Owen Marcus; he's an expert on this subject.

For more than twenty-five years, Owen Marcus has worked with men’s groups to develop programs that give them the tools and teach them the skills to be successful men, celebrate their strengths, and live their lives fully and with joy. As co-founder of EVRYMAN, he and his support men worldwide. As the New York Times describes it: “CrossFit for emotions.”

Owen Marcus overcame challenges such as Asperger’s Syndrome and Dyslexia to pursue his passion of helping others find their out-of-the-box solutions. However, it wasn’t until much later that he understood that in being free to be his own man, he was able to create and fulfill a life he designed.

Along the way, he met many incredible men – men who struggled to create the lives they wanted. Owen observed the patterns in his corporate management and Mindfulness Stress Reduction seminars and then began working with groups of men to give them something new: how to be their own man.

How To Handle Being Rejected By A Woman Mar 31, 2022

I get asked about this a lot, in various ways: how do I deal with rejection? What do I say (and how do I say it) when she says no? I'm worried about getting rejected, what do I do?

Rejection can suck, but it doesn't have to shatter your sense of your own value. In fact, it can help you both recognize and build your worth. Listen in this week for how that works, some actions to take, and questions you can ask yourself in the face of rejection.

Confidence. We all want more of it, even though we consume loads of content on it. So does it have to be something so hard to achieve consistently? I don't think so.

Rabbi Manis Friedman - The Nature Of Intimacy Mar 21, 2022

Last week, Zen. This week, a unique perspective on intimacy, relationships, and marriage from Rabbi Manis Friedman. I've been wanting to hear differing ideas from differing traditions on what it means to really cultivate an intimate relationship, and Rabbi Friedman had some interesting things to say! We cover loving someone versus loving things about them, what it really means to marry someone—from a more mystical frame of mind, how a "performance" mindset around sex destroys intimacy, and a lot more.

Rabbi Manis Friedman is a world-renowned author, counselor, lecturer, and philosopher. He combines ancient Torah wisdom with modern wit to captivate audiences around the world. He hosts his own critically acclaimed cable television series, Torah Forum with Manis Friedman, syndicated throughout North America and is known as “Youtube’s Most Popular Rabbi”.

Rabbi Friedman’s first book, Doesn’t Anyone Blush Anymore? was widely praised by the media. He has appeared on CNN, A&E Reviews, PBS, and BBC Worldwide, and has been the subject of articles in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Seventeen, Guideposts, Insight, Publisher’s Weekly, and others. The book is currently in its fourth printing.

His latest book, The Joy of Intimacy is empowering thousands of couples to replace their loneliness and unfulfilled expectations with a deeply soulful and satisfying relationship. In his private practice, Rabbi Friedman has helped thousands of couples and individuals achieve fulfilling, balanced relationships, through in-person meetings or remote video consultations.

Rabbi Friedman is also a noted Biblical scholar, recognized for his grasp of Jewish mysticism. In 1971, he founded Bais Chana Institute of Jewish Studies in Minnesota, the world’s first yeshiva exclusively for women, where he continues to serve as dean. From 1984 to 1990, he served as a simultaneous translator for the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s televised talks.

Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1946, Rabbi Friedman immigrated with his family to the United States in 1950. He received his rabbinic ordination from the Rabbinical College of Canada in 1969 and is a professionally ranked member of the National Speakers Association. His speaking tours take him to every part of this country as well as Israel, England, The Netherlands, South Africa, Australia, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Canada, and Hong Kong.

Rabbi Friedman is now using the latest technology to spread morality to a wider audience throughout the world through his books, videos and personal meetings via the launch of itsgoodtoknow.org. He has made it his mission to reach every one of the billion people on Youtube in order to help them improve their relationships and deepen their connection with G-d.

The Key To Navigating Crisis Mar 18, 2022

Understatement of the decade: there's a lot going on. I wanted to dig a little into how a man can navigate crisis, and one of the most important components to this: community.

The simple reality is this: if you as an individual aren’t meant to process the events in your own community by yourself, there's no possible way you can process everything on earth by yourself. We’re built to thrive in a shared network of understanding so that navigating a crisis doesn't crush YOU, it strengthens US.

Henry Shukman - Zen Awakening: It's Not What You Think Mar 14, 2022

You hear it all the time: enlightenment, awakening, expansion, liberation. Yadda yadda yadda. But...what is it really? Is it even possible to describe? This week, I sit with acclaimed Zen teacher and poet Henry Shukman to try and get the actual Zen take on things. We dig into his own spiritual journey, how to meditate in the Zen way, and how chasing after something can sometimes prevent you from ever getting it.

Henry Shukman is a mindfulness teacher and the spiritual Director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center. He has been trained by Zen several teachers, particularly the roshis Joan Rieck, John Gaynor, Ruben Habito, and Yamada Ryoun Roshi, as well as by teachers and mentors in other traditions. Henry has an MA from Cambridge and an MLitt from St. Andrews, and has written several award-winning books of poetry and fiction.

He currently guides a wide range of students from all walks of life. He received dharma transmission (inka shomei) from Yamada Ryoun Roshi, the abbot of Sanbo Zen, and is a Zen Master of the Sanbo Zen lineage of Kamakura, Japan.

Henry's struggles as a youth, combined with a spontaneous awakening experience at age 19, paved the way for Henry to develop a well-rounded approach to spirituality and meditation, under the guidance of his teachers – one that includes both compassionate concern for the sufferings of the world and the great liberative power of awakening as its foundations.

Dr. James Hollis - The Jungian Way To Hear Your Calling Mar 08, 2022

I've waited a long time for this one! Deeply honored to have spoken with Dr. James Hollis, one of the foremost Jungian analysts. Ever. Period. This conversation focused almost entirely on men and their relationship to fear, women, purpose, direction, and what Jung had to say about all of them. An hour isn't nearly enough for such a heavy conversation, so he'll be returning in the near future. If you've ever been curious about the Jungian approach to therapy, have a listen.

James Hollis, Ph. D., was born in Springfield, Illinois, and graduated from Manchester University in 1962 and Drew University in 1967. He taught Humanities for 26 years in various colleges and universities before retraining as a Jungian analyst at the Jung Institute of Zurich, Switzerland (1977-82). He is presently a licensed Jungian analyst in private practice in Washington, D.C. He served as Executive Director of the Jung Educational Center in Houston, Texas for many years and was Executive Director of the Jung Society of Washington until 2019. He now serves on the JSW Board of Directors. He is a retired Senior Training Analyst for the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, was first Director of Training of the Philadelphia Jung Institute, and is Vice-President Emeritus of the Philemon Foundation. Additionally, he is a Professor of Jungian Studies for Saybrook University of San Francisco/Houston.
He lives with his wife Jill, an artist and retired therapist, in Washington, DC. Together they have three living children and eight grand-children.
He has written a total of seventeen books, which have been translated into Swedish, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Korean, Finnish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Farsi, Japanese, Greek, Chinese, Serbian, Latvian, Ukranian and Czech.
The next book, The Broken Mirror: Refracted Visions of Ourselves, comes out this year.

Duey Freeman - Gestalt Therapy, What Men Struggle With, And How We Protect Ourselves Feb 28, 2022

Forgive the occasional sound blips. Sometimes Zoom behaves badly! Whether you've just dipped your toes into therapy or have been a long-time adherent, have a listen to this. I love Duey's no-nonsense yet compassionate approach. It's rooted in connection and relationship—a result of his extensive training in gestalt therapy. We cover what gestalt therapy is, what men typically struggle with and why, and how we're all just trying to protect ourselves.

Duey Freeman, MA, LPC is co-founder of the Gestalt Equine Institute of the Rockies, director of the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies, and owner of his psychotherapy private practice.

In 1982, Duey joined and revived the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies, he co-founded the Gestalt Equine Institute of the Rockies in 2008. This institute sprang out of the need for thorough training in working relationally with horses as therapeutic partners. GEIR is one of the only Institutes that require competence therapeutically as well as competence in relational horsemanship.

Duey joined Naropa in 1992 and has been extensively involved in the creation of the Gestalt, Human Development, and Family Systems programs.

Where Men Find Meaning Feb 24, 2022

Purpose (especially now) can feel elusive for so many men. And when purpose goes missing, meaning isn't far behind. This week, some thoughts on where to find meaning, how to regain a sense of purpose, and why both are critical components of any man's journey.

Dr. Shy Krug - Navigating A Healthy Sex Life Feb 21, 2022

This was such a good conversation! Dr. Krug has to be one of the most engaged and informative guys I've had on when it comes to sexual health. We cover the mind's role in healthy sex, balancing what you can and can't control in your sexual health, the surprisingly critical role of uncertainty and anxiety in sex, the physiology of erections and orgasm, how porn addiction works, the list goes on.

Dr. Shy Krug is a Clinical Psychologist and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He specializes in sex therapy and sexual health in addition to sexual addiction. He also specializes in trauma, depression, anxiety, and couples counseling. His work has also led to a deep understanding of how mental illness can impact changes in arousal or sexual function

Dr. Krug mainly utilizes a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness. He is also trained in Gottman’s Method of Couples Counseling, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE).

To ensure that an individual’s sexual dysfunction is not being caused by a medical issue, Dr. Krug takes a team-oriented approach and works closely with a team of medical providers. When working with a client who has a history of trauma, he also discusses the challenges of trauma-focused work and lets them know that it is common to feel more distress in the beginning of treatment to ensure they are ready to start talking about their traumatic experience(s).

He has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a B.A. in psychology with a minor in biology from Yeshiva University.

Dr. Carl Erik Fisher - The Complex History Of Addiction Feb 14, 2022

It goes without saying that the more informed you are on the nature of addiction, the easier it is to see and break the patterns that trap you or the people you care about—addiction can be a LOT more subtle and nuanced than you think. So this week, I asked Dr. Carl Erik Fisher to dig into his new book, The Urge: Our History Of Addiction. It's a profoundly empathetic, personal, and intelligent book, and if you like this episode you'll want to check it out.

We cover how addiction was perceived by ancient cultures and philosophers, how societies and communities have responded from Ancient Grecians to Native Americans, why community plays a huge role, the difficulty of boundaries and interventions, and a lot more.

Carl Erik Fisher is an addiction physician and bioethicist. He is an assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, where he works in the Division of Law, Ethics, and Psychiatry. He also maintains a private psychiatry practice focusing on complementary and integrative approaches to treating addiction. His writing has appeared in Nautilus, Slate, and Scientific American MIND, among other outlets.

The Boys Are Not Alright Feb 10, 2022

We all crave meaning, purpose, and feeling like we're needed. It's deeply important for anyone's mental health. But for a significant number of men, it simply isn't happening. There are all sorts of reasons for this, and there's no easy answer, but it's something that genuinely worries me. This week, I'm thinking out loud about what's going on for younger men and what they can do to find that purpose and meaning for themselves.

Dr. Martin Shaw - The Depth And Value In Myth Feb 07, 2022

How do I sum up this conversation? Because we could have talked for days. Dr. Shaw's work is incredibly powerful, so get ready for a very depth-oriented and intense conversation. For example, Dr. Shaw and I cover the real meaning of blessing and the importance of being defeated—not winning. The power of story and myth, comfort versus shelter, and how it all relates to how we're living now.

Martin Shaw is widely regarded as one of the most exciting teachers of the mythic imagination. Author of the award-winning Mythteller trilogy (A Branch from the Lightning Tree, Snowy Tower, Scatterlings), he founded the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University, and is director of the Westcountry School of Myth in the UK. He has introduced thousands of people to mythology, and for twenty years, Shaw has been a wilderness rites of passage guide, working with at-risk youth, those who are unwell, returning veterans as well as many women and men seeking a deeper life.

His translations of Gaelic poetry and folklore (with Tony Hoagland) have been published in Orion Magazine, Poetry International, and Poetry Magazine. Dr. Shaw's work has received top praise from the likes of Malidoma Somé, Stephen Jenkinson, Coleman Barks, Robert Densmore, and Robert Bly. His essay and conversation with Ai Weiwei on myth and migration was released by the Marciano Arts foundation.

Traver Boehm - Victimhood, Incels, And Modern Masculine Culture Jan 31, 2022

This week isn't so much an interview. Instead, a long-ranging conversation with an old friend focused around some of the more, uh, volatile aspects of modern masculine culture. The functionality of incel ideology, redpill rhetoric, the rise of victimhood narratives on all sides. In short, we're talking about some heavy stuff. Expect an open dialogue and frank opinions.

Traver Boehm knows men. How they think, what’s behind their behavior, and most importantly — their unique challenges in the modern landscape.

Traver is the the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement, the fastest growing men’s movement in the world. He is the author of Today I Rise, and Man UNcivilized as well as a two time TEDx speaker, men’s coach and podcaster.

Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguard and Mixed Martial Arts to a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver counsels men, women, and couples on how to better understand men’s mental health and relationship difficulties.

Although he’s not quite sure how to feel about the title, he has been dubbed, “The Man Whisperer” as he has the unique ability to speak to men in a way they can hear and understand.

Every Man Needs To Develop This One Skill Jan 27, 2022

Yes, that is a borderline clickbait title, and it's for good reason. It's easy to learn but takes years to master, and so many things in a man's life build off and are enhanced by this one crucial practice, even though it's something you're not really taught anymore in school.

Initiation: What Makes You A Man? Jan 17, 2022

Why do men of all kinds say (or do) the most insane things for validation? Why do so many men abuse their power? Why are there so few decent male role models?

Lara Aknin - The Science Of Happiness Jan 03, 2022

It's more important than ever to ground healing work with expertise, careful research, and study. Otherwise, it's basically just cheerleading. This is why I brought on one of Canada's best social psychologists, Lara Aknin. Lara's work centers on not just what makes people happy, but what keeps them happy: gratitude, reminding yourself and others of shared connections and community, and more.

Obviously, the pandemic shut out a lot of ways we cultivate connection and community—at least physically. So I wanted Lara to share some scientific grounding on how covid has affected anxiety and depression rates, stress levels, and mental resiliency in general.

Lara Beth Aknin is a Canadian social psychologist. She is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Simon Fraser University and a Distinguished University Professor.

After earning her Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, Aknin joined the faculty of psychology at Simon Fraser University in 2012. That year, she published Giving Leads to Happiness in Young Children with J. Kiley Hamlin and Elizabeth Dunn, which supported the idea that humans may have evolved to find giving rewarding.

In 2014, Lara and her colleagues Michael Norton and Elizabeth Dunn co-published a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and CIHR funded review of whether spending money had a positive effect on people's happiness. The following year, her contributions to the field of social psychology earned her the President’s New Researcher Award from the Canadian Psychological Association and a fellowship at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. By 2019, she received an SSHRC grant for her project, Can Repeated and Reflective Giving Nurture Canada's Next Generation of Philanthropists? She was also honored by the university for her research and contributions to social Psychology with the title of Distinguished SFU Professor.

During the pandemic, she has served as Chair of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Task Force of the Lancet COVID-19 Commission. She also serves as an associate editor of the World Happiness Report.

Peter Crone - The Nature Of High Performance Dec 27, 2021

What an honor (and what great timing) to have Peter Crone—the Mind Architect himself—on the show for my final conversation of 2021. This was such an engaging and enjoyable conversation! We delve into the nature of language and the subconscious, how to tackle things like anxiety, and some of the strategies Peter has used to help athletes with the same.

Peter Crone is a thought leader in human potential and performance as well as an Ayurveda practitioner and the Founder/Chief Inspirer of Be Alive, Inc. Peter devotes his life to sharing deep insights, distinctions, and strategies for people to live an inspired life and thrive by awakening new levels of awareness that transcend old and limiting mental constructs. He helps reveal the subconscious narratives that drive behavior, and ultimately all results, and he uses the wisdom of Ayurveda to help people find balance through diet and lifestyle. Whilst most people go through life as prisoners of their own mind, Peter helps dissolve the mental shackles that hold us back so that we can experience true freedom and discover an entirely new experience of being human. Peter has worked with numerous VIPs in the entertainment industry, more than 200 professional athletes across multiple sports, as well as leaders of global organizations. He is committed to sharing his pioneering mental constructs that inspire the realization of a new type of existence that shifts from a life of stressful surviving to one of joyful thriving.

Make Your Life Your Argument Dec 16, 2021

About a year ago, I came across an incredible quote by Albert Schweitzer, and it fundamentally changed my approach to debating anyone, whether that's on or offline. I'm sharing my thoughts behind it today in the hopes that others will be inspired to take the time and solidify what it is they actually value and stand for before automatically reacting to everything. Vain hope? Maybe, but it's worth a shot.

Steve James - The State And Complexity Of Masculinity Dec 13, 2021

This was one hell of a conversation. Steve and I cover wide ground, but the central hub of our talk is the state of modern masculinity. What are men asking about? What are they rejecting? What are they loving, losing, and leaving behind? What are men choosing?

So yeah. Only light questions in this episode. Listen in for some brilliant insight from a brilliant guest.

Steve James travels internationally teaching somatic practices, meditation, as well as leading explorations in contemplative & relational realms.

Known for his direct, grounded approach and his inquiry-based ethos, he has extensive experience in elite athletic performance, contemplative and spiritual disciplines, the arts, extreme outdoor survival, and human behaviour.

Steve’s unique range of experiences and understanding of human behaviour, elite performance, spirituality, and interpersonal relationships is highly sought after by leading figures at the highest levels of the arts, entertainment, and business.

In his private client practice, he specialises in the unique interpersonal and strategic challenges faced by very successful and highly visible individuals. Ongoing clients include Oscar-winning actors, multi-Grammy-winning musicians, CEOs, and multi-billion dollar fund managers.

Nick Carmody - Psychology, Politics, And Masculine Consciousness Dec 06, 2021

I do my best to bring on guests who have taken their lived experience and transmuted it into unique expertise and insight. Happy to tell you Nick Carmody has done this in some incredible ways. We cover a ton of ground: brain injury, abuse, overcoming false narratives, the impact of fathers, what kills nuance, and the weird ways masculinity gets tangled and hijacked for political gain. Listen in!

Nick Carmody’s life shifted dramatically in 2010, when he experienced two life-changing traumatic brain injuries only eight months apart. On top of ending a 12-year relationship with a narcissist. The changes in brain function, personality, and emotional processing as well as navigating the divorce and being bled out financially in courts led Nick to rock bottom and near suicide, but also gave him an intense desire to understand and confirm what he was experiencing and became Nick’s motivation to work in the psychology field.

It soon became apparent to Nick that his lived experience—combined with his studied expertise—allowed for unique insight into the modern political climate, and a honed ability to help others who have endured similar trauma. He has a bachelor of arts in criminal justice from Concordia University, a Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, and a Masters of Science degree from Tiffin University in Ohio. He has a private practice based in Denver, and works with children from low-income families who have experienced trauma (many of whom are currently in foster care).

Nick is in the process of writing Putting My Worst Foot Forward. He writes prolifically on the dangers of Cluster B Personality Disorders in American Politics, and is considering publishing his writings about the psychology of American politics during the Trump era as a collection of essays titled, Trickle Down Pathology. Most recently, he’s gotten attention for a theory on the intersection of addiction and tribalism.

I’m in a cabin on a beautiful piece of property, holed up and finishing off my upcoming book. It’s given me a chance to look back on an incredibly difficult, incredibly fulfilling journey. It’s also allowed me a lot of humility, and I felt called to share some of this reflection with you all.

Don't Underestimate How Hard This Is Nov 11, 2021

Something I’ve noticed in the majority of men I work with is a habitual hunt for whatever might be going wrong in a relationship, a business venture, or, well, anything. There are a number of reasons for this. But arguably the biggest reason is what we’re talking about this week. Listen in.

Reclaiming The Warrior (And Its Shadow) Nov 09, 2021

After some great feedback from October's "Reclaiming the King" episode, I decided to re-release its companion piece about the Warrior archetype. Is the Warrior in us as men to blame for the division we see in today’s society? Yes...and no. This is a dive into the modes and shadow of the Warrior archetype and why—and this might surprise you—it’s one of the best archetypes we have. From the warrior, we can light the fires of focus, develop clean anger instead of unhealthy aggression, set boundaries instead of borders, and leverage our unique capabilities to bring about positive change inside and outside. At the end, I detail several actionable steps you can take to cultivate and reclaim the warrior.

My Thoughts On OnlyFans And Why Men Are Drawn To It Nov 05, 2021

Someone reached out to me last week asking for my opinion on men having OnlyFans accounts, and what it means in the context of either relationships or being single. There's obviously a lot to unpack, so expect a more in-depth followup episode. But I wanted to share some initial thoughts with you on the potential effects of something like OnlyFans on a man.

Elder Nii Gaani Aki Innini - A Return To Spirit, A Return To The Land Nov 01, 2021

This was the last of four incredible conversations in a series titled The Wisdom of Elders. Elder Nii speaks his message with a simplicity that cuts through the rationalizations and justifications we all sometimes hold on to, and he does it with kindness and sincerity. I encourage you to check out the work he’s doing in Canada and globally, and listen in as we discuss the challenges all of us face, the needs of the earth beneath our feet, and role of initiation, elders, women, and men in the days to come.

Elder Dr. Dave Courchene — Nii Gaani Aki Innini (Leading Earth Man) — is a respected elder and knowledge keeper of the Anishinaabe Nation who has devoted his life to sharing Indigenous knowledge, carrying a message of hope, peace, and environmental stewardship. From lighting the sacred fire at the United Nations Earth Summit in 1992, to sharing the stage with spiritual leaders including the Dalai Lama, Elder Dr. Courchene’s leadership has had a global influence.

In 2002, he founded the Turtle Lodge International Centre for Indigenous Education and Wellness, a sacred lodge recognized internationally and by the Assembly of First Nations and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs as one of the most important gathering places for Indigenous peoples in Canada. Individuals from around the world gather at the Turtle Lodge to facilitate intergenerational knowledge sharing, language revitalization, youth leadership training, and environmental solutions to climate change.

Courchene has built alliances with institutions, academics, and policymakers across the Canada. His work has been recognized with many prestigious honours, including the INDSPIRE National Aboriginal Achievement Award in Culture, Heritage, and Spirituality; an Honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of Winnipeg, the Volunteer Manitoba Award for Outstanding Community Leadership; the International Award of Excellence; the Aboriginal Circle of Educators Award; and the International Indigenous Leadership Award. He is a deeply respected elder, known for his ability to inspire dialogue and cross-cultural understanding between Indigenous knowledge keepers and western-trained scientists. His leadership is rooted in generosity, kindness, and a desire for peace and sustainability.

Reclaiming The King Oct 25, 2021

Leadership, respect, duty, structure, legacy, service, praise. All of these are embodied in the archetype of the King—the foremost (and arguably most difficult) energy to cultivate. But like everything, the King’s got a dark side we need to understand.

To celebrate the re-launch of the ManTalks Shadow Course, I’ve been covering all things shadow, including the dark sides of two important archetypes to masculinity: the Warrior and the King. This episode was originally released in 2019, and it was one of my favorites to research and record.

As the saying goes, "your pain has its own intelligence". This intelligence is the shadow. Recognize your disowned parts, redefine your strengths, and reclaim wholeness with the Shadow Course.

Stephen Jenkinson - What The F*** Happened? Oct 18, 2021

I’ve been running ManTalks for almost a decade and I’ve met a ton of amazing people who can speak truthfully and bluntly. But no one speaks carries their truth as authentically as Stephen Jenkinson. I find a lot of what Stephen says is medicinal: you might not think it tastes great, but damn if it isn’t what you need to hear. This is a deep dive into why things are the way they are. Fear of submission, love of consumption, death-phobia, the commodification of trauma, endings, what the pandemic tried to tell us, and so much more.

This is from a series I produced recently called The Wisdom of Elders, featuring experts on elderhood and culture to discuss what an “elder” actually is, where we are as a species, how we got here, and where we’re headed. Basically, what the f*** happened?

Culture activist, teacher, and author, Stephen Jenkinson teaches internationally and is the creator and principal instructor of the Orphan Wisdom School, co-founded with Nathalie Roy in 2010, convening semi-annually in Ontario, and in northern Europe. He has a Masters degree in Theology from Harvard University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Toronto. Apprenticed to a master storyteller when a young man, he has worked extensively with dying people and their families, was a program director in a major hospital, and an assistant professor in a prominent medical school. He is also a sculptor and traditional canoe builder, whose house won a Governor General’s Award for architecture. Since co-founding Nights of Grief and Mystery with Gregory Hoskins in 2015, he has toured across North America, the U.K., Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

His new book, A Generation’s Worth: Spirit Work While the Crisis Reigns, sets out to learn liveable answers. Dying and death, love and matrimony, money and soul, aging and elderhood, drawn through the eye of a pestilential needle: this is the spirit work, and that is the crisis. https://orphanwisdom.com/a-generations-worth-spirit-work-while-the-crisis-reigns

He is also the author of Come of Age: The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble, the award-winning Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, Homecoming: The Haiku Sessions, How it All Could Be: A Workbook for Dying People and Those Who Love Them (2009), Angel and Executioner: Grief and the Love of Life (a live teaching from 2009), and Money and The Soul’s Desires: A Meditation. He is contributing author to Palliative Care – Core Skills and Clinical Competencies.

Stephen Jenkinson is also the subject of the feature-length documentary film Griefwalker, a portrait of his work with dying people, and Lost Nation Road, a shorter documentary on the crafting of the Nights of Grief and Mystery tours.

Dr. James McLeary - The Core Of Men's Work Oct 11, 2021

A few months ago I had the privilege of interviewing this incredible man over Zoom, and it's with a lot of thankfulness that I share that conversation with you now. James' experience working with elders and mentors across multiple continents and cultures, his life growing up on the streets of Chicago, and his work with inmates at Folsom Prison, all of it has given him an unparalleled understanding of what men need to grow, change, lead, build, endure, and most of all, help themselves and the world around them.

James is a deeply experienced wisdom holder and expert facilitator whose leadership has been a critical force driving the growth and success of programs at both Folsom State Prison and San Quentin State Prison. He is the executive producer of the documentary, THE WORK, detailing Inside Circle’s program in Folsom Prison. He brings deep expertise in group process work and its application in varied settings. As a member of the Elder Council, James guides our vision for incarcerated and released men.

Francis Weller - Initiation (And Society Without It) Sep 27, 2021

In this episode, Francis and I discuss the role of community in processing grief, the cult of specialness, our addiction to progress, using beauty and ritual to stay mentally healthy, and how obsession with individualism has crippled our ability to feel like we belong. That’s just the tip of the iceberg with a man like Francis, and it’s a great honor to hear him speak with such depth and clarity on these complex subjects.

Francis Weller, MFT, is a psychotherapist, writer, and soul activist. He is a master of synthesizing diverse streams of thought from psychology, anthropology, mythology, alchemy, indigenous cultures, and poetic traditions. Author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief, The Threshold Between Loss and Revelation, (with Rashani Réa), and In the Absence of the Ordinary: Essays in a Time of Uncertainty, he has introduced the healing work of ritual to thousands of people. He founded and directs WisdomBridge, an organization that offers educational programs that seek to integrate the wisdom from indigenous cultures with the insights and knowledge gathered from western poetic, psychological, and spiritual traditions.

As a gifted therapist and teacher, Francis has been described as a jazz artist, improvising and moving fluidly in and out of deep emotional territories with groups and individuals, bringing imagination and attention to places often held with judgment and shame.

Francis received a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin Green Bay and two Master’s Degrees from John F. Kennedy University in Clinical Psychology and Transpersonal Psychology. His writings have appeared in anthologies and journals exploring the confluence between psyche, nature, and culture. His work was featured in The Sun magazine (October 2015) the Utne Reader (Fall 2016) and the Kosmos Journal. (Winter 20201) He is a frequent presenter and keynote speaker at conferences, bringing insight, poetry and a breath of humor to his talks. Francis is currently on staff at Commonweal Cancer Help Program, co-leading their week-long retreats with Michael Lerner. He has taught at Sonoma State University, the Sophia Center in Oakland, and has been the featured teacher at the Minnesota Men's Conference. He is currently completing his third book, A Trail on the Ground: The Geography of Soul.

He has created three CD sets, two focusing on healing shame and one on “Restoring the Soul of the World.” His latest offerings are a 10-session audio series on "Living a Soulful Life and Why It Matters." and "The Alchemy of Initiation: Soul Work and the Art of Ripening."

Stop Telling Women They're Intimidating Sep 23, 2021

One of the most popular questions I get from both men and women revolves around intimidation. Women ask me why men perceive them as intimidating, and men ask me how to handle an intimidating woman. If you want to know what to do, start by reading the title of this episode, and listen in. We’ve got a lot to talk about: the responsibilities, the challenges, and what might be underneath it all.

Dr. Anna Lembke - Dopamine Nation: Why We're Addicted Sep 12, 2021

From your nervous system's view, our culture is swimming in dopamine. Porn, binging junk food, video games, "retail therapy"—things from the innocent to the insidious light our brains up with dopamine, and we often wind up with more than one addiction. But how does it all work, and how do we detox?

Addiction to anything is never easy to unpack, so I sat down with the amazing Dr. Anna Lembke for a deep dive into dopakine; how our brain balances pleasure and pain, how it relates to trauma, and how we need to acknowledge the fact that we living in a "drugified" world.

Anna Lembke is professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. A clinician scholar, she has published more than a hundred peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and commentaries. She sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations, has testified before various committees in the United States House of Representatives and Senate, keeps an active speaking calendar, and maintains a thriving clinical practice.

In 2016, she published Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It’s So Hard to Stop (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016), which was highlighted in the New York Times as one of the top five books to read to understand the opioid epidemic (Zuger, 2018). Dr. Lembke recently appeared on the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, an unvarnished look at the impact of social media on our lives.

Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence (Dutton/Penguin Random House, August 2021) explores how to moderate compulsive overconsumption in a world where feeling good is the highest good.

Thoughts On Afghanistan Sep 09, 2021

I try not to wrestle too much with political topics on the show, but there have been a number of men—many of them former military—who asked me to at least say something about the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the extreme range of reactions to what happened. So here is what came up. If you (or someone you know) served, is struggling, and needs support, please DM me @mantalks on Instagram.

Dr. Kenneth Adams - Man And His Mother Sep 06, 2021

Creating a healthy relationship as an adult requires a fine balance of intimacy and sovereignty. This can be really tough for men who grew up with maternal enmeshment issues—they've got to untangle a maladaptive relationship with their mother. Dr. Kenneth Adams is an expert on helping people do exactly this. We dive deep into what enmeshment looks like, the kinds of confusion and chaos it creates in relationships, and how to break free.

Dr. Kenneth M. Adams began his professional career in 1981 treating children, adolescents, and their families. In 1985 he began private practice with the Children of Alcoholic Parents program, an outpatient program for the treatment of adults who had grown up in alcoholic families. It was there that he began to notice that many of these clients had addictions and enmeshment issues, two of his primary specialties today. He wrote his first professional article in 1987 on covert incest and sex addiction in alcoholic families and has since written three books and numerous peer-reviewed articles. He is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a CSAT supervisor, and CSAT training facilitator as well as an EMDR practitioner.

Face Your Fears Sep 02, 2021

In this mini-episode, I unpack how there's a kind of resilience and reliability that only shows up when you face what you're afraid of. When you don't, you're unconsciously learning you can't rely on you when things get difficult. Thanks to those of you on Instagram who asked me to clarify this, and don't forget to share this mini-episode with someone you feel will benefit.

Jason Wilson - Breaking Free From Emotional Incarceration Aug 23, 2021

This is a long-awaited reunion! Jason has been a guiding light and inspiration to multitudes of boys and men, and it's an honor to reconnect with him. We talk about the struggles men face in silence, the culture of "grind", intergenerational trauma, and the need for men to develop a comprehensive masculinity.

Jason Wilson is the founder and CEO of the Yunion (pronounced union), a non-profit youth development organization in Detroit Michigan. Since 2003, the Yunion has effectively reached more than 15,000 youth and young adults through innovative prevention programming, trauma-informed care, parental engagement, and counseling. In 2008, Mr. Wilson’s heart for fatherless and misguided black boys inspired him to create and direct the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy (CATTA).
As an expert in Emotional Stability Training®, Wilson’s leadership has garnered the CATTA numerous acknowledgments and awards for his work teaching males how to introspectively confront and conquer their negative emotions with composure. In 2016, one of the CATTA’s videos went viral with over 80 million views worldwide. As a result, Mr. Wilson was invited to be a guest on the Dr. Oz Show and to present the CATTA at President Obama’s ‘My Brother’s Keeper’ Showcase at the White House. Later that year, NBC’s hit TV show ‘This Is Us’ was so inspired by Wilson’s work, that they featured the CATTA’s initiation ceremony in one of their most viewed and award winning episodes. In 2018, Mr. Wilson signed with actor/producer Laurence Fishburne’s film company Cinema Gypsy to produce a documentary film on Jason’s work with the CATTA. It is scheduled to be released in 2021.

Mr. Wilson has over 25 years of martial arts experience, in addition to over 16 years of training and developing young black males. Mr. Wilson is a man of the Most High, a faithful husband of over 22 years and a proud father of two beautiful children.

Balazs Bercsényi and Kjartan Rumpsfeld - Art And Personal Transformation Aug 16, 2021

The role and power of art in self-healing, initiation, and actualization is (putting it lightly) huge. To that end, I sat down with the incredibly skilled Balazs Bercsényi and his colleague-in-healing, belief coach Kjartan Rumpsfeld. We get into the two bridge art and healing in the form of ritualistic “tattoo retreats”, how Balazs and Kjartan met, the artistic process, and how to change the transactional nature of modern art.

Balazs Bercsényi is a multidimensional tattoo artist from Pécs, Hungary, with a distinct, identifiable, and meticulous style. His artistic work is heavily influenced by ancestral practices and ritual, spirituality, sacred geometry, the occult, and sculpture. He leads the industry as an expert in single needle and fine line black and grey talisman tattoos, which have become his trademark signature for independent art projects. Informed by an apprenticeship and subsequent artistic residency in London, England, at the age of 20 and subsequent international artistic study, his work received true international acclaim and recognition in the world-renowned Bang Bang art studios in New York City, United States. Balazs demonstrates a continuing passion for traveling and tattooing around the world, and his constantly-evolving artistic aspirations and professional practice have expanded into the exploration of illustration and fashion design as new mediums to bridge the gap between ancient tradition and modern elegance.

Kjartan Rumpsfeld is a Norway-based consultant and teacher utilizing NLP, energy work, and other modalities to people weed out limiting beliefs and experience transformation and healing in their lives, from the psychological and spiritual to the professional and social. Beginning with years of training in a Utah monastery, Kjartan is committed to helping others identify and let go of anything that might be holding them back.

Robert Greene - Define Your Relationship To Power Aug 09, 2021

I've been looking forward to this one for a long time. This is a wide ranging discussion on how power (and the desire for it) shapes everything we do—from how we use social media to how we shape our identities. We get into how power is used and misused, misinterpreted, and of course, why we need to define our relationship to power.

Robert Greene is the author of several New York Times bestsellers, including The 48 Laws of Power, Mastery, The 33 Strategies of War, and The Laws of Human Nature.

Greene grew up in Los Angeles and attended the University of California, Berkeley before finishing his degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.A. in classical studies.

Greene estimates he's worked about 80 jobs, including construction worker, translator, magazine editor, and Hollywood movie writer. His first book, The 48 Laws of Power, catapulted him to fame at age 36.

His works are widely praised by a diverse array of sources, from politicians and war historians to musicians, executives, and actors.

Bayo Akomolafe - Change Your Story, Change The World Aug 02, 2021

Easily one of my favorite conversations this year. The depth of Bayo Akomolafe's wisdom is pretty much limitless. Listen in and be blown away. Bayo and I cover a lot of ground here, digging into the importance of ritual, the role of stories in our growth and how those stories are influenced by what's around us, the "atmosphere" of trauma, the microbiome, cripestimology, and looking for (as he calls it) the cracks in human agency.

Dr. Bayo Akomolafe is a globally acclaimed lecturer, speaker, and proud diaper-changer, and considers his most sacred work to be learning how to be with his daughter, his son, and his wife Ijeoma.

“To learn the importance of insignificance” is the way he frames a desire to reacquaint himself with a world that is irretrievably entangled, preposterously alive, and completely partial.

After losing his diplomat father to a sudden heart complication, Bayo became a reclusive teenager, seeking to get to the “heart of the matter” as a response to his painful loss. He sought to apply himself to the extremes of his social conditioning, his faith, and his eventual training as a clinical psychologist, graduating summa cum laude from Covenant University in Nigeria. Largely nurtured and trained in a world that increasingly fell short of his deepest desires for justice, Bayo’s doctoral research involved meeting with traditional healers as part of his quest to understand trauma, mental wellbeing, and healing in new ways.

His deep questions and concerns for decolonized landscapes has congealed into a life devoted to exploring the nuances of a “magical” world “too promiscuous to fit neatly into our fondest notions of it.”

Pursue Rejection Jul 29, 2021

That's it, that's the title. If you're looking to get better or change in any way, shape, or form, you're going to face resistance and rejection. From your own bad habits, your inner critic, your shadow, and maybe even friends or family. And there's not really any way around that. But how else do you learn to weather the storm?

Sophie Zhang - Misinformation And Social Media Manipulation Jul 26, 2021

Truth, whether in men’s work or politics or science, is crucial. Sophie Zhang was fired from Facebook in 2020, and her farewell memo was leaked to Buzzfeed, went viral on Reddit, and revealed (in her words) “multiple blatant attempts by foreign national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry, and caused international news on multiple occasions". This is just the tip of the iceberg.

We dive into what happened, the consequences of doing nothing about it, inauthenticity versus misinformation, and a lot more. This isn’t the usual ManTalks convo, but it’s an important one.

Women Don't Want To Validate Your Feelings Jul 01, 2021

I'm a firm believer that we as men need to develop the capacity to validate and regulate ourselves, especially in the realm of emotionality. AKA: not offload emotional regulation onto our partners, girlfriends, wives, etc. In this vid, I look into where this (often) comes from, and how it leads straight to codependency.

Rupert Spira - The Nature Of Consciousness & Time Jun 21, 2021

How to truly uncover lasting happiness can seem like a lofty or impossible goal. But somehow, Rupert Spira makes it seem not just possible, but as clear as glacier water. I’ve wanted him on the show for a long time now, and I’m excited to share this incredible conversation. We dig into non-duality, the nature of time, the beauty of simple awareness, and what all the great spiritual traditions of the world were pointing to.

Rupert Spira is an English teacher of the "direct path", a method of spiritual self-inquiry through talks and writing, and a notable English studio potter with work in public and private collections.

Spira was deeply interested in the nature of reality from an early age. By age 17 he was studying meditation and practicing a classic Indian method of spiritual inquiry called Advaita Vedanta. He has studied with Dr. Francis Roles, Shantananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya in, and is steeped in the wisdom of thinkers and mystics such as P. D. Ouspensky, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Rumi, Sri Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta, and Robert Adams.

In 1997, Francis Lucille trained Rupert in the Direct Path teachings of Atmanada Krishna Menon and the Tantric approach of Kashmir Shaivism, which he had received from his teacher, Jean Klein.

Rupert regularly holds meetings and retreats worldwide, exploring non-dual teachings from a diverse array of sources: Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, Hinduism, Buddhism, mystical Christianity, Sufism, and Zen.

He is the author of 8 books, including The Transparency of Things – Contemplating the Nature of Experience, The Ashes of Love, The Nature of Consciousness and The Essence of Meditation. His latest book is titled. A Meditation On I Am.

The Key To Dating Wild Women Jun 17, 2021

You ask, I answer. I've recently had a lot of questions on this topic. From women, it's something like, "Men keep telling me that I'm intimidating. I seem to date men that I walk all over. How do I navigate this?" And then from men, it's "She's intense. She's chaotic sometimes. She can be really overly direct or assertive or combative. What do I do? How do I navigate that?"

Tell me what you'd add, if you disagree, or if you've got any questions! And don't forget to share this with someone you feel will benefit.

Create Order In Your Relationship Jun 10, 2021

Order in a man’s life is a tricky subject, and something many men have a tumultuous relationship with. The title of this episode alone will probably raise a few eyebrows, but I wanted to take an honest look at the meaning of order, because it’s through order that we can create coherence, freedom, and direction. So let’s look at why order is important for a man, and how to create generative—instead of disruptive—order in your relationship.

Andrew Reiner - Better Boys, Better Men Jun 07, 2021

There’s no question in my mind that boys these days are navigating some incredible challenges. More and more boys are dropping out of school and college, suicide rates among younger men appear to be spiking, and it’s critical that we as a culture—and we as men specifically—look at what we can do better. Andrew Reiner and I discuss his fantastic book, what led him to this path, and how we can begin to embody a more generative, emotionally honest masculinity for the next generation.

Andrew Reiner is a professor at Towson University, where he offers the seminar “The Changing Face of Masculinity.” He has written on masculinity and men’s issues for the New York Times, Italy’s la Republica, and The Washington Post Magazine, and his work has been featured on NPR and the CBC, and in The Guardian, Men’s Health magazine, and Forbes. He speaks about masculinity regularly at schools and conferences nationally and internationally.

Beware The Male Apologist Jun 03, 2021

It's my opinion that a huge part of a man's journey is being able to have real conversations about the struggles we have with maleness. Some men respond by disowning as much of their maleness as they can, but leave a lot of disconnection, pain, and anger unhealed. The end result is a personality type that (in my opinion) does more harm than good.

Kristin Du Mez - Understanding Militant Evangelical Christianity May 31, 2021

Unless you’re living in total media blackout, you’ve got at least an awareness of the effect Christianity has on every aspect of America. What you might not know is how deep that rabbit hole goes. The brilliant history professor Kristin Du Mez does, though, so I brought her on for an exploration of evangelical Christianity, its obsession with “warrior Christ”, the contortion and cherry-picking of doctrine, and how it ties into politics and the military.

Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a Professor of History and Gender Studies at Calvin University. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and her research focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, and politics. She has written for the Washington Post, NBC News, Religion News Service, Christianity Today, and The Daily Beast, and has been interviewed on NPR, CBS, and the BBC, among other outlets. Her most recent book is Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation.

Ethan Nichtern - Buddhism: A Cure For A Time Of Chaos? May 24, 2021

In a culture that seems to be fraying and coming apart at the seams, does Buddhism have any possibilities? Last week I got to chat with celebrated Buddhist teacher and mentor Ethan Nichtern, and hear a bit about Buddhist psychology, Tantric Buddhism, and how the Middle Path can help us navigate not just our own minds but the world around us. I really appreciated Ethan's expertise; he effortlessly explains complex Buddhist ideas (and Western misconceptions). Dig in, friends.

Ethan Nichtern is, as Sally Vogler of Vogue put it, “a supercool, deeply kind brainiac—imagine a very chilled-out blend of Pauls Auster and Rudd—who is also to-the-cushion born.

A Buddhist teacher for over 19 years, Ethan has taught meditation and Buddhist psychology classes and workshops around New York City, North America, and Europe, along with working with students privately. He has primarily studied in the Shambhala and other Tibetan traditions, but has also studied Theravadan and Soto Zen Buddhism. He is also an avid yoga practitioner. He served as Shastri, or Senior Teacher-In-Residence, for the Shambhala Meditation Center of New York, from 2010-2018.

He was formerly on the part-time faculty at Eugene Lang College at New School University and has lectured at Brown, Wesleyan, Yale, NYU, FIT, Antioch, and other universities, and as well as at many other meditation/yoga centers and conferences around the country and world.

He is the author of the acclaimed book The Road Home: A Contemporary Exploration of the Buddhist Path. His most recent book, The Dharma of The Princess Bride: What The Coolest Fairy Tale of Our Time Can Teach Us About Buddhism and Relationships was in 2017.

He is also the author of One City: A Declaration of Interdependence and the Novella/poetry collection, Your Emoticons Won’t Save You.

Reveal and Recognize Your Shadow May 20, 2021

This week's mini-episode is part 3 of 4 for Mental Health Awareness Month. A look at something we all carry: a shadow. The amalgamation of everything we avoid, deny, or disown about ourselves. Despite the fact that it can be, uh, highly confronting, recognizing and revealing your shadow is (in my opinion) one of the greatest things you can do for yourself.

Agriculture. Capitalism. Controversy. Biology. Viruses. This is a heavy one, my friends, and requires a bit of a preface on the cultural risks of meme-ifying the “other side”, which you’ll hear. I really hope you listen, but more than that, I hope you begin engaging in dialogue. I’ve wanted Zach on the show for a while now, and have been following his work with interest, and I’d be happy to hear your take.

Zach Bush MD is a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care. He is an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems. Dr. Zach founded *Seraphic Group and the nonprofit Farmer’s Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health. His passion for education reaches across many disciplines, including topics such as the role of soil and water ecosystems in human genomics, immunity, and gut/brain health. His education has highlighted the need for a radical departure from chemical farming and pharmacy, and his ongoing efforts are providing a path for consumers, farmers, and mega-industries to work together for a healthy future for people and the planet.

The first few months of having a child turn your world upside down. Full stop.

Rigorous Self-Acceptance and Compassion May 06, 2021

It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, so I’m dedicating this month’s mini-episodes to that topic. The last year has undoubtedly left a mark on the hearts and minds of uncountable millions. I feel those of us with the means and ability have a responsibility to do what they can to create what they can to help. Put another way, the end-stage of the Hero’s Journey is to bring the treasures wrestled from dragons back to the village.

So this month, each mini-episode will dive into something that has radically shifted my own mental health in a positive direction. This week, developing the self-acceptance and compassion necessary to combat the Inner Critic.

We’re all in this together. If this episode resonates with you, please share it or leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or Podchaser. It helps us get into the ears of new listeners, expand the ManTalks Community, and help others find the self-leadership they’re looking for.

Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute's multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents.

Brian Falduto - The Bridge Between Gay & Straight Men Apr 19, 2021

In a culture where polarization feels like it's increasing, understanding each other is a radical act. This week, Brian Falduto and I get into the fear, wounding, and shadow contained within straight men and men in the queer community, and how to create better discourse and understanding. Because while there are differences in experiential content, there's also more overlap than you might think. This was a great conversation, and I’m grateful to have had the chance to listen to Brian’s knowledge and experience.

Brian Falduto is a professional actor, country music singer-songwriter, and ICF certified life coach. At the age of 11, director Richard Linklater cast Brian Falduto alongside Jack Black in the film School of Rock as Billy, a.k.a. “Fancy Pants.” He is a dual-degree graduate in Theatre Performance & Arts Administration, and proudly calls himself an alumnus of Wagner College.

Brian’s discography includes a 2017 acoustic EP titled “Love One Another,” a 2018 debut studio album titled “Stage Two,” & other singular releases - most notably his recent single, “God Loves Me Too,” which went on to become a final nominee at the 2020 International Independent Music Video Awards & winner of the Fan Favorite category.

In addition to garnering support from The Trevor Project, GLAAD, & other LGBTQ-affirming organizations & advocates, the song was chosen as the “Loud & Proud” feature on Apple Country's Proud Radio & also the official theme song for Beloved Arise, a non-profit organization celebrating queer youth of faith.

Since re-emerging as an artist, Brian has had some amazing opportunities to share his life story openly & honestly through public speaking engagements, podcast appearances, self-authored content pieces, & media interviews; most notably his now-viral video with Now This News. In 2018, PrideLife Magazine named Brian one of the “20 most influential, outspoken, & optimistic individuals on the planet” in their 20th Anniversary #20intheir20s issue.

Brian also works as a life coach serving primarily LGBTQ+ clientele. In 2020, he launched The Gay Life Coach Podcast, The Gay Men's Self-Help Book Club, & The Gay Men's Mindfulness Collective as part of his efforts to create mindful conversation & content surrounding the effects of internalized & externalized homophobia, & how one might heal from those experiences through expanded awareness & a deeper connection to oneself.

Why You Can't Forgive Yourself Apr 15, 2021

Yesterday I put out the ask to followers on Instagram: what do you want me to talk about? Within minutes, I had multiple men bring up the topic of self-forgiveness. Questions like, “How do I forgive myself for infidelity? For lying? For a business that I ruined?” Friends, this is a big deal. I break down the reasons why we struggle to forgive ourselves, how we need to change how we look at forgiveness, and how it’s intimately tied to our sense of sovereignty.

Eddie Capparucci - Porn Addiction and Healing The Inner Child Apr 12, 2021

Grab your notepad for this one. I wanted to have Eddie on the show because it’s somewhat rare to view sexual addiction (porn or otherwise) through the lens of Inner Child work. How we reveal and heal the wounds of our past is how we heal our present, and Inner Child work is an incredibly powerful framework to do that in. Eddie breaks down the Inner Child with nuance and deep intelligence, and it was a pleasure to have him on. If you or someone you know struggles with an addiction to porn or sex, man it forward and share this episode!

Eddie Capparucci is a licensed therapist and is certified in the treatment of sexual and pornography addiction. He and his wife, Teri, have a private practice in Marietta, Georgia, working with men struggling with sex/porn addiction, as well as their wives who are dealing with betrayal.

Among his many clients, Eddie has worked with professional athletes including NFL and MLB players and television personalities.

He is the administrator of the websites www.MenAgainstPorn.org and www.SexuallyPureMen.com. He also has written for the blogs XXXChurch.com, Covenant Eyes, and Kingdom Works.

He serves as the clinical director for the National Decency Coalition, an organization working to help limit the access of pornography to minors while educating about the harmful impact of pornography on individuals, relationships, and society.

Stop Looking For The Golden Gun Apr 08, 2021

We as men have often fall into this idea that there’s one big solution—one psychological big bang—that’ll “fix” everything in our personal development journey. I call it the Golden Gun, and just like its namesake, it’s (surprise!) NOT real. Listen in to find out where the real fix is, why we need it, and why it deserves more recognition and respect.

Stephen Jenkinson - What Patriarchy Really Meant, And Dying Cultural Myths Apr 05, 2021

It’s difficult to really articulate the kind of man Stephen Jenkinson is. I’ve interviewed hundreds of brilliant people and studied many more, but very few approach the same level of profoundly medicinal wisdom as Jenkinson. To say I’m a fan is an understatement. Bear with the occasional rough patch of audio and listen to some challenging depth.

Stephen Jenkinson, MTS, MSW is an activist, teacher, author, and farmer. He is the founder of the Orphan Wisdom School in Tramore, Canada, and the author of four books, including Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, the award-winning book about grief, dying, and the great love of life, and Come Of Age: The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble. In 2015, he created Nights of Grief & Mystery with Canadian singer-songwriter Gregory Hoskins. With a 5-piece band, they have mounted international tours and released three albums, most recently DARK ROADS and ROUGH GODS. Most recently, a four-part livestream speaking series, A Generation’s Worth, was presented in Winter 2020.

Orphan Wisdom is the home of Stephen Jenkinson’s writing and teaching work. Orphan Wisdom is a teaching house for the skills of deep living and making human culture. It is a redemptive project that comes from where we come from. It is rooted in knowing history, being claimed by ancestry, working for a time we won’t see.

A Message To My Unborn Son Apr 01, 2021

This mini-episode is a little different. As some of you might know, I became a dad just over two weeks ago. Not long before his arrival, I found myself contemplating and writing about what I was experiencing. So I wanted to share that, in the hopes that other men—fathers, sons, grandfathers, boys, adults—find their own answers to the question: what can a man say to the son he hasn't met yet?

The Problem With Personal Development Mar 25, 2021

We get way too caught up in the idea that personal development is always expansion, always growth, always becoming. That, my friends, is not true. In this episode, I break down my main issue with personal development, and what we need to talk about in order to lock in actual growth. To me, personal development has just as much “unbecoming” as it does “becoming”.

Thinking Out Loud: Jordan Peterson and the Essence of Patriarchy Mar 18, 2021

Alright. Let me be clear: I am not making a case for or against him. This is me trying to find deeper answers to why Peterson is such a divisive figure, as well as observing the (frankly) dire situation masculine culture is in. When I see people either hyper-pedestal someone or viciously denigrate them, that’s a solid cue to look at both the person and what they might symbolize in the psyche of their fans (and enemies).

Jenny Sansouci - The Healing Power of Medicinal Mushrooms and CBD Mar 15, 2021

A healthy mind and a healthy body absolutely go hand in hand. If you’re looking to elevate your sleep, cognition, or overall wellbeing, listen to this. Side note: This was recorded some time ago, but I was surprised to find out both Amazon and Instagram have prevented Jenny from advertising her book.

Weekly Training: Creating Sexual Polarity and Tension Mar 11, 2021

This week, I wanted to talk about what sexual polarity is, how you can create sexual tension or sexual charge, and the logistics around that. Based on the research, the last year has really done a number on some people’s sex lives—maintaining sexual desire can obviously be tough in situations like lockdowns. Listen to this for more than a few straightforward ways to re-ignite that fire.

We dig into the highlights, expectations, and challenges of fatherhood, what the “first few days” were like, and just how life-changing the feeling of fatherhood can be.

Weekly Training: Learning Acceptance Feb 25, 2021

Acceptance is one of the more misunderstood, disrespected, and underestimated things in today’s culture. But when it comes to our well-being, it’s one of the most powerful practices we can cultivate. Yes, it’s also challenging. Even infuriating. It’s supposed to be.

Kris Coleman - On Resiliency, Awareness, and Navigating Misinformation Feb 22, 2021

This was recorded in early February. I feel it's important to balance out the theoretical side of things and on-the-ground perspective, so I brought in Kris Coleman, a former CIA Officer and FBI Special Agent. We get into some practical and frank ideas around what we need to do to cultivate resiliency individually and as a community, combating misinformation (spoiler: always check your sources and avoid echo chambers), and how massively important awareness is.

Kris Coleman is Founder, President, and CEO of Red Five, where he supports private families, family offices, corporations, and security teams with bespoke solutions to ensure their privacy, security, and resiliency. Before founding Red Five, Coleman served as a CIA Officer where he conducted threat and vulnerability assessments and developed programmatic approaches to counterterrorism and law enforcement for countries across the world. Coleman also served as an FBI Special Agent and a member of the FBI’s enhanced SWAT Team. Coleman holds a B.S. in Public Administration from the University of Arkansas. With extensive experience providing state-of-the-art security and protective intelligence services, he helps individuals be prepared and resilient through uncertain times and unexpected crises.

Weekly Training: Your Shadow & Relationships Feb 18, 2021

I continue to be blown away by what people are discovering in The Shadow Course, which I released recently. The questions and insights people are bringing to the table are leaving me so grateful and excited. This week, someone brought up an amazing question on how the shadow affects relationships, and I wanted to do a bit of a deep dive on it: how the shadow shows up in relationships, how it actually helps us pick partners, and how some of the relationships we enter into are the shadow made manifest. I hope you enjoy!

Cinema Therapy - Marvel, Archetypes, and Masculinity in Movies Feb 15, 2021

What makes villians like Thanos and Killmonger so compelling? Is there a trend in how our culture looks at heroes? What's the modern idea of a hero even look like? I connected with Cinema Therapy over Zoom, and we nerd out on the intersection of psychology, film, and culture. We cover masculinity in movies and its history, what Marvel is doing right, Heath Ledger’s Joker versus Joaquin Phoenix’s, and why superheroes are so important right now. This was a fun, compelling interview. Alan and Jonathan are brilliant, funny, and genuinely wholesome people. There’s also a recipe for a mean chocolate smoothie if you listen in close.

Cinema Therapy is hosted by licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright. They discuss how movies can be used to improve your life, and how to watch movies with your brain turned on. Also, there are jokes.

Seven pieces of honest, practical, and actionable advice for what to do after being cheated on, because—contrary to popular belief—the aftermath isn't always clear-cut.

If you've ever been cheated on, have a listen. Or if you know someone who's trying to recover, maybe send this their way.

Weekly Training: The Ultimate Guide To Coping Mechanisms Feb 04, 2021

The title says it all. After getting a few questions from folks in the Shadow Course and some others on Insta, I wanted to break down coping mechanisms in multiple ways, because the concept can be extremely broad. For example, what’s the difference between defense mechanisms and coping mechanisms? What’s the difference between adaptive and maladaptive? And maybe most importantly, how do we set boundaries on these?

Weekly Training: The Secret To Discipline Jan 28, 2021

Friends, we need to talk about discipline, but not in a clickbaity way. Discipline is way too often presented as this monolithic, punishing thing, and that’s an illusion. It’s also—especially these days—an endpoint. That’s also an illusion. Discipline is a daily practice and deepening the connection to your own self-worth and self-respect. Listen in.

Makoto Fujimura - Culture, Art, Faith, and the Theology of Making Jan 25, 2021

In this ep, I sit down with acclaimed, New York-based artist Makoto Fujimura. Makoto is a fascinating man: someone who's perfectly balanced the "border stalking" (his words) nature of artists with a deep and abiding faith. We talk about how to mends trauma and end cultural divides, the nature of God, and the role of artists as healers and integrators.

Makoto Fujimura is a leading contemporary artist whose process-driven, refractive “slow art” has been described by David Brooks of New York Times as “a small rebellion against the quickening of time”. Robert Kushner, in the mid 90’s, spoke of Fujimura’s art this way: “The idea of forging a new kind of art, about hope, healing, redemption, refuge, while maintaining visual sophistication and intellectual integrity is a growing movement, one which finds Makoto Fujimura’s work at the vanguard.”

Fujimura’s art is collected and featured widely in galleries and museums around the world, including The Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Huntington Library, the Tikotin Museum in Israel, Dillon Gallery and Waterfall Mansion in New York, Sato Museum in Tokyo, The Tokyo National University of Fine Arts Museum, Bentley Gallery in Arizona, Gallery Exit and Oxford House at Taikoo Place in Hong Kong, Vienna’s Belvedere Museum, and Shusaku Endo Museum in Nagasaki. He is one of the first artists to paint live on stage at New York City’s legendary Carnegie Hall as part of an ongoing collaboration with composer and percussionist, Susie Ibarra.

Fujimura is also an arts advocate, writer, and speaker who is recognized worldwide as a cultural influencer. A Presidential appointee to the National Council on the Arts from 2003-2009, Fujimura served as an international advocate for the arts, speaking with decision makers and advising governmental policies on the arts. His books have won numerous awards, including the Aldersgate Prize for “Silence and Beauty”. Fujimura's highly anticipated book Art+Faith: A Theology of Making (Yale Press, with foreword by N.T. Wright, 2021) has been described by poet Christian Wiman as "a real tonic for our atomized time".

Francis Weller - The Death of the Hero and The Importance of Mythology Jan 18, 2021

It’s difficult for me to describe how much I value Francis Weller and his work, and I wanted him on because of his expertise on grief, something that is—inevitably—a part of every human life. We dig into Western culture's obsession with "the Hero", where we truly find redemption and healing, and the inherent emptiness of individualism. Heavy stuff, and incredibly powerful.

This is also a part of a new series I’ve titled Living Through an Age of Crisis. Episodes in this series are dedicated to helping listeners navigate the confusion and chaos of our times. I’ll be bringing on experts in psychology, spirituality, history, propaganda, and culture to offer their insights on what the real situation is and how we can move through it.

Francis Weller, MFT, is a psychotherapist, writer, and soul activist. He is a master of synthesizing diverse streams of thought from psychology, anthropology, mythology, alchemy, indigenous cultures, and poetic traditions. Author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief; The Threshold Between Loss and Revelation, (with Rashani Réa) and In the Absence of the Ordinary: Essays in a Time of Uncertainty, he has introduced the healing work of ritual to thousands of people. He founded and directs WisdomBridge, an organization that offers educational programs that seek to integrate the wisdom from indigenous cultures with the insights and knowledge gathered from western poetic, psychological, and spiritual traditions.

As a gifted therapist and teacher, Francis has been described as a jazz artist, improvising and moving fluidly in and out of deep emotional territories with groups and individuals, bringing imagination and attention to places often held with judgment and shame.

Francis received a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin Green Bay and two Master’s Degrees from John F. Kennedy University in Clinical Psychology and Transpersonal Psychology. His writings have appeared in anthologies and journals exploring the confluence between psyche, nature, and culture. His work was featured in The Sun magazine (October 2015) the Utne Reader (Fall 2016) and the Kosmos Journal. (Winter 20201) He is a frequent presenter and keynote speaker at conferences, bringing insight, poetry and a breath of humor to his talks. Francis is currently on staff at Commonweal Cancer Help Program, co-leading their week-long retreats with Michael Lerner. He has taught at Sonoma State University, the Sophia Center in Oakland, and has been the featured teacher at the Minnesota Men's Conference. He is currently completing his third book, A Trail on the Ground: The Geography of Soul.

He has created three CD sets, two focusing on healing shame and one on “Restoring the Soul of the World.” His latest offerings are a 10-session audio series on "Living a Soulful Life and Why It Matters." and "The Alchemy of Initiation: Soul Work and the Art of Ripening."

Are You Caught In Codependent Masculinity? Jan 14, 2021

After a great DM on Instagram and a heavy convo with Mike Campbell on his podcast, Everyday Legends, I wanted to riff on this idea a little more deeply. Tens of millions of men have put their masculinity into a dangerously codependent relationship with certain external institutions and narratives. Many of them do this without even questioning what they lose: the means for self-validation, self-leadership, and—this is a big one—mental and spiritual freedom.

Weekly Training: Practical Steps For Shadow Work Jan 07, 2021

Today I take a look at some of the initial and critical steps of shadow work. You probably know by now I’m a huge proponent of shadow work. For most of us, working on our inner darkness and negative emotions might seem. completely upside-down. So much of modern self-help ideology focus on keeping you “in the light”: feeling good no matter what and never actually dealing with the stuff that hurts and sabotages you. But the more we avoid this side of ourselves and the pain it holds, the black and denser it becomes.

Q&A: How To Properly Process A Breakup, Pick Up Culture, and Allowing When We Want To Fight Dec 17, 2020

I find a lot of joy in doing Q&As. It’s a pretty direct connection to someone, it helps me know what folks are curious about, and can help more than just the one person who asked. The last time I asked my followers to send in their questions, I got several hundred questions, so this week we’ll look at how to properly deal with a breakup, my take on pickup artists and that culture, and understanding the art of allowing.

Adam Andros Aronovich - Meaning-Making, Psychedelics, and Masculinity Dec 14, 2020

This was an incredible conversation. Adam and I spoke over Zoom, and covered a ton of ground, but focused mainly on three major topics: why psychedelics are making such big waves right now, the impact of things like psilocybin and ayahuasca on men and their sense of masculinity, and our growing societal need for new therapies and new modes of thinking.

Born in the urban jungles of Mexico City, raised mostly in Israel, and having lived in 7 different countries, Adam naturally embodies interculturalism. A psychologist, cognitive scientist, and medical anthropologist, he has also studied traditional systems of medicine in Mexico, India, and Peru, adopting a dialectical approach that integrates evidence-based science and traditional worldviews. He’s worked extensively in western psychiatric institutions and has spent time learning from a variety of indigenous and traditional healers around the world, trying to understand the diverse manifestations, conceptualizations of, and approaches to mental illness and mental health.

Balancing between research and practice, he is an active member of the “Medical Anthropology Research Center” (MARC), and the “Interdisciplinary Psychedelic Studies” (IPS) group, both in Catalunya, while sharing his extensive experience facilitating transformational processes in a variety of psychedelic support and harm-reduction projects around the world, such as the Kosmicare Project in Portugal or the Zendo Project in the United States.

Adam is an advocate for cognitive liberty, neurodiversity, and the integration of non-ordinary states of being into our culturally constructed definitions of normalcy and sanity, with a growing interest in the ecological and environmental dimensions of mental health and the importance of reciprocity, mutuality, and interdependence to our well-being.

Weekly Traning: Finding Masculine Purpose Dec 03, 2020

I’m a big believer in balance, and I think the dance between yin and yang (or masculine/feminine, or whatever polarity names you like) provides a ton of insight. So, this week’s mini ep is all about giving your masculine energy purpose and direction. Masculine energy can help you structure your life, mind, and career, but—hard truth here—it’ll only get you so far by itself. Without external purpose, left to only serve itself, the masculine can slowly and unconsciously rationalize self-harm. Let me know your take; leave a rating or review!

Dave M Mayer - The Impact of One-Dimensional Masculinity Nov 30, 2020

This is a heavy and fascinating ep, my friends. Our workplace can be one of the single greatest factors in our mental health, so I wanted to sit down with one of America's leaders in business ethics and masculine psychology, Dave M Mayer. We dive deep into the research to discuss the ways "one-dimensional" masculinity impacts the work we do, the language we use, and the backlash men might get when they stray from it (for example, losing a promotion if they take paternity leave). How do we do better—not just for men and women, but for our culture? Listen in.

Dave Mayer is the John H. Mitchell Professor of Business Ethics at University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. An award-winning researcher and highly rated and sought after teacher and speaker, he is an expert on helping people and organizations lead ethically, inclusively, and positively. He is a regular contributor to the Harvard Business Review and Fast Company, and his research and ideas have been covered in Bloomberg, Forbes, Fortune, Newsweek, NPR, Psychology Today, Slate, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. In his research and teaching, Dave examines how to help men adapt to a healthier form of masculinity that benefits not only themselves, but all people in their lives.

Weekly Training: Gratitude In Times Of Crisis Nov 26, 2020

This was inspired by a conversation I had with a client of mine. When you're living in a time of crisis, how in the world do you maintain gratitude? When the faith in our abilities as individuals, communities, even as a species is shaken, it's easy to gorge on the soup of fear and leave any idea of thankfulness behind.

The way out? We need to (myself included!) build a relationship with the fear within ourselves, because that will lead us to what we truly, deeply value. I hope you listen in.

Dr. Nicole LePera - What It Means to Self-Heal Nov 23, 2020

What if you could change your patterns—permanently? What if there’s more to you than just a body or just a mind? These are just two of the questions that ignited Dr. Nicole LePera’s (aka the hugely popular @the.holistic.psychologist) pursuit of a more holistic style of healing. It was an honor to sit down with her and share journeys of healing, how important it is to face your unhealthy patterns outside of the therapist’s office, how to bring healing and awareness into your online interactions, and so much more.

Dr. Nicole LePera was trained in clinical psychology at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research. She also studied at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. As a clinical psychologist in private practice, Dr. Nicole LePera often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients—and for herself—she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. Nothing short of a paradigm shift, Dr. Nicole LePera’s teachings empower the individual to break free from trauma cycles and create who they want to become.

Thinking Out Loud: Why Is The Internet So Triggering? Nov 19, 2020

The internet is an ocean. Just like our actual oceans, there’s incredible diversity and beauty. There’s also a solid and growing amount of garbage. Why is it like this, and why does online discourse often leave us exhausted and angry? This week, I propose this: What if the internet is an expression of humanity’s collective unconscious? Listen in for my perspective, and let me know what you think! Leave a rating or review.

Dr. Alan K Davis - Psychedelics, Depression, and Healing the Mind Nov 16, 2020

I’m excited for this one! On November 4th, JAMA Psychiatry published a study with an impressive claim: psilocybin was (get this) at least 4 times more effective on major depression than the usual antidepressants. Plant medicine is a big fascination for me, so it was so rewarding to speak with one of the authors that study, Dr. Alan K Davis. Alan is on the bleeding edge of both the research and the practical treatment at Johns Hopkins, and we talk about how the study was set up, the barriers involved, the effects on the patients, and some of the upcoming (and promising) studies in the pipeline.

Dr. Alan K Davis is an Assistant Professor of Social Work at The Ohio State University and Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Davis’s clinical experience includes working with people diagnosed with trauma-based psychological problems such as addiction, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. His clinical expertise includes providing evidenced-based treatments such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy. Consistent with his clinical interests, his research interests and expertise focus on contributing to the knowledge of and ability to help those suffering with substance use and mental health problems, understanding how to improve clinical outcomes through examining new treatments, and developing ways to conceptualize substance use and mental health problems through a strengths-based approach. He recently completed a clinical trial of psilocybin therapy for major depressive disorder and current trials include exploring this treatment for patients with co-occurring alcohol use disorder and depression and patients with anorexia. He actively explores topics related to naturalistic psychedelic use among several populations including people of color who have experienced racial trauma, Spanish-speaking people, and people who use novel psychedelics such as 5-MeO-DMT.

Weekly Training: Unpacking The Female Narcissist Nov 12, 2020

I get a large number of requests from men, women, and clients to discuss this topic. Surprisingly, a number of people have also asked, “Can a woman actually be a narcissist too?” So I dug into the research, consulted some therapist and coach friends of mine, and decided to tackle the topic gently but directly. The word “narcissist” gets used as a label way, way too often, and waters down the issues faced by people who have actually dealt with clinical narcissism. Let's unpack and get some insight.

If you (or someone you know) think you may have encountered abuse by a narcissist, there’s a great collection of resources and support you can find on Reddit here. Note, this is a support subreddit, not a replacement for therapy or counseling.

The Magician Archetype - Exploring The Origins Of Wisdom (Re-release) Nov 09, 2020

I recorded this ep last spring--part of a miniseries on Jungian archetypes and the fantastic book, King, Warrior, Magician, Lover. Considering the need for healing and wisdom in the face of so much uncertainty and change, it felt like a good time to pull it out of the archives. This is a deep dive into the archetype known as The Magician. An integrated, healthy one heals, transforms, enlightens, and creates. But his shadow…well, listen in and see.

Weekly Training: What Now? Staying Grounded in Ambiguity Nov 05, 2020

I recorded this yesterday, after election day, and wanted to both weigh in on things and also zoom out a bit and take a look at one of the more pervasive aspects of 2020: ambiguity. At the end, I give some helpful tips and some hard-hitting prompts to help you navigate.

When there are so many possibilities and so many variables, the mist of ambiguity is obviously the result. When we combine that with (as the science has shown) our inherent negativity bias, our rational mind can feel completely uprooted and react in unhealthy ways. So how do you manage ambiguity? How do you move into an intuition-based form of decision-making? If anything resonates, let me know! Leave a rating or review, or hit me up @mantalks on Instagram.

Thinking Out Loud: Desire vs Seeking and The Hardest Thing Oct 29, 2020

This week’s mini-ep is just me thinking out loud on what desire really means. It seems like our culture has built a massive framework around desire, or more accurately, built it to imply your lack of something, and therefore need to “get it”. But the big secret is the final source of contentment--the satisfaction we’ve been outsourcing for years--is only found within.

To be clear, I’m not denying external hardships--particularly for people who have been oppressed by that same framework that always leaves us wanting more. What I’m saying is: whether it’s a million dollars, retweets, likes, sex partners, or [insert desire here], it’s not going to “solve” desire. Only self-compassion, silence, and awareness can do that.

I hope this resonates with you. If it does, let me know on Instagram @mantalks, or better yet, leave me a rating or review!

Oren Jay Sofer - Nonviolent Communication, Behaviour vs Character, and “Lifting Up The Goodness” Oct 26, 2020

How do we understand each other, especially when we disagree? This week, I sat down with one of the leaders in nonviolent communication, or NVC, Oren Jay Sofer. If you're unsure of what nonviolent communication actually is, you'll have a solid grasp after this!

For Oren, language runs deep. It’s intimately connected to universal, fundamental human drives, social structures, and even our physicality. We chat about the basic framework of mindful and nonviolent communication, our current “attack based” online culture, and some of Oren’s personal journey and defining moments.

Oren was an incredible guest. The word that came up for me was “sincere”. He’s incredibly well-read, intelligent, honest, and his desire to create a world where everyone is respected and in harmony rings clear in everything we spoke about that.

Oren Jay Sofer teaches Buddhist meditation, mindfulness, and Nonviolent Communication nationally. A member of the Spirit Rock Teachers Council, he holds a degree in Comparative Religion from Columbia University, is the author of Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication, and co-author of Teaching Mindfulness to Empower Adolescents. Oren is co-founder of Mindful Healthcare and the founder of Next Step Dharma, an innovative online program that helps meditators integrate their retreat experiences into daily life.

Weekly Training: Practicing Memento Mori - The Awareness of Death Oct 22, 2020

This week’s mini-episode is a personal one, and about one of the most ancient and powerful rituals we as humans can practice: memento mori--being mindful of the inevitability of death. I dive into how memento mori works as a contemplative practice, its history, and why it’s more than just some personal development tool.

Modern culture works hard to avoid even the idea of death, to the point where we water down some our most compelling stories and ideas. Tons of time is spent on practically forcing light and joy and life. But death helps inform us of how we are living--right here, right now.

Reggie Hubbard - Weathering Politics, Activism’s Purpose, and Achieving Racial Equality Oct 19, 2020

This was a powerful interview, and I’m grateful to have had the chance to listen to Reggie’s peace-oriented mindset and his perspective on a highly divisive period in American history. We dove into understanding the origins of modern activism and activist groups, Black Lives Matter, why discussions fall apart, and how we might repair them. Listen in for an honest, real conversation, and if it resonates, please share! Help us reach more people like you.

Reggie Hubbard has held many senior strategic and logistical roles across a variety of fields, ranging from global marketing, digital and community organizing, government relations, international education to Presidential campaigning. He currently serves as a senior political strategist for MoveOn, managing their relationships, impact, and communications with Capitol Hill and among the broader progressive movement.

Reggie is also a 500 hour certified yoga teacher and authored a thesis entitled, "Yoga and Spiritual Activism: Serving Humanity from a Sense of Devotion and Love." He has studied extensively with leading teachers such as Faith Hunter, Amy Ippolitti, Yogarupa Rod Stryker, Sri Dharma Mittra as well as many amazing teachers along the way.

In July 2020, Reggie helped launch a grassroots campaign along with David Lipsius, Amy Ippoliti, Jack Kornfeld, and Tara Brach called Buddhists and Yogis United. This is an effort to share information and inspire teachers and their respective communities to encourage active civic participation in the upcoming election and beyond.

Reggie has taught Members of Congress, Congressional Staff, leading progressive organizations and individuals, sharing techniques for growing peace and ease as a foundation, not an afterthought. The focus of his teaching practice is to bring more peace and balance to activists AND to guide the wellness community toward being more engaged, concerned citizens. Achieving this balance is how we catalyze transformative change.

Lee Chambers - Building a Regenerative Lifestyle, Mindset, Workplace, and Home Oct 12, 2020

I often tell clients, “say yes to the man you want to be”, and Lee Chambers is someone who decided to shout it! From running a seven-figure business to losing his ability to walk, he’s seen a lot. I was amazed by his struggles, but moreso by his deliberate, intentional reframing of them. Lee’s story is an incredibly powerful example of how mindset and action work together to define who you are and who you want to be. We cover a lot. Lee’s origin story, the big-picture ideas of environmental psychology, how to optimize your home office, and more. But the big takeaway in this episode is building a life that regenerates you and your environment.

Weekly Training: You Ask, I Answer Part 1 - Craving the Extreme and When to Walk Away Oct 08, 2020

I genuinely enjoy getting questions from listeners, so this Q&A will be a two-parter! This week, I touch on three big questions: why some people crave the extreme, how to move on from a relationship full of love but doesn’t meet your needs, and when to walk away from a partner who is ambivalent about the relationship.

If you know someone who can relate to these questions, share this with them! We’re all in this together. If you have any questions of your own, hit me up on Instagram (@mantalks). And as always, if any of this resonates, leave us a rating or review. It’ll help us reach more people (and answer more questions!)

Anonymous Guest Session - The Feeling of Not Belonging Oct 05, 2020

I like to occasionally feature a shadow-work session with someone I’ve never worked with before, and this one got powerful fast. My guest came to me wanting to work on the intersection of his sexuality and his religion; he feels fulfilled by being a leader in his community, but he also feels a clash between the pressure to “be religious” and be a sexual being at the same time. This expanded into a deep dive on the feeling of isolation and not belonging.

This is a unique opportunity for you to listen to some real-time shadow work, where I guide a man through and into their shadow so they can get at what’s keeping them stuck or sabotaged.

Weekly Training - Transition, Change, and Moving Through Crisis (with Vienna Pharaon) Oct 01, 2020

By the time you listen to this, my incredible wife Vienna and I will be on the road, heading into a new chapter of our lives. It seemed like the perfect time to talk about “moving” through crisis (see what I did there?). Because, like so many of our friends, clients, and listeners, the last several months threw a lot of plans into disarray. So we sat down together to discuss clinging to expectations, navigating “forced change”, and the lessons we’ve learned from transition points in our own lives.

As we mentioned in the show, we’d like to do a part 2 to this mini-episode where we both take on your questions! Leave a rating or review, and hit us up on Instagram (@mantalks or @mindfulmft) with your questions about transition, change, and moving through crisis.

Monk Yun Rou - Daoism As A Cure For Chaos Sep 28, 2020

You’re going to want a comfy chair for this one. This week, my guest is Daoist Monk Yun Rou. Yun Rou is a brilliant interpreter of ancient ideas for a modern ear--if you’ve read his book The Mad Monk Manifesto you’ll know what I’m talking about. We got heavy into social media and how it affects us, why you might know more about Daoism than you think, and how Daoist philosophy can offer us a different, more holistic view of everything; from our own minds to the workings of the universe. If you consider yourself a seeker, this is the episode to listen to.

Called the new Alan Watts for his teachings and the Zen Gabriel Garcia Marquez for his writings, Daoist Monk Yun Rou (formerly Arthur Rosenfeld) received his academic education at Yale, Cornell, and the University of California and was ordained a monk in an official ceremony at the Chun Yang Daoist Temple in Guangzhou, China. His work has appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Parade, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, WebMD, Fox Business News, and numerous other websites and newspapers.

His more than 20 award-winning non-fiction books and novels of magical realism focus on philosophy, history, compassion, and culture. From 2010 – 2013, he hosted the hit (reaching 60MM households) national public television show Longevity Tai Chi with Arthur Rosenfeld. The American Heart Association profiled Yun Rou as an inspirational resource in 2016.

Monk Yun Rou began his formal martial arts training in 1980 and has studied with some of China’s top Chen-style tai chi grandmasters. In 2011 he was named Tai Chi Master of The Year at the World Congress on Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In July 2014, Yun Rou joined the heads of the five tai chi families on the dais, representing American tai chi, at the International Tai Chi Symposium in Louisville, Kentucky. He teaches in Southern Arizona, South Florida, and around the world.

Weekly Training: Why Men WANT To Hit Rock Bottom Sep 24, 2020

This is a really important topic for me; it’s one of the reasons I started ManTalks. In this episode, I check out why men seem to only turn things around after everything’s on fire. I dive a bit into the shadow aspects of modern masculine culture, and how they amplify the problem (hint: shame is a big player).

Every man’s journey is different, but there’s one thing we all need--and I mean need--to do: challenge the narrative that suppression equals strength. Listen in to hear why, and as always, let me know your take; leave a rating or review. Also, share this with someone you think would benefit!

John Beede - Cultivating Resiliency, Rites of Passage, and Shifting Your Finish Line Sep 21, 2020

What does resiliency mean? How do you build the ability to bounce back after an event that shakes you to your core? How does it change you? To help answer these I spoke with adventurer, author, entrepreneur, humanitarian, and keynote speaker John Beede, and we dove straight into the hard stuff. It was a real pleasure to chat with John about what drew him to mountains, his struggles and victories, his new book, and the pressure men are often under to either tough it out, nice it out, or numb it out.

John Beede has climbed to the top of the tallest mountain on every continent, including Mount Everest. During the 9 year adventure, he somehow survived avalanches, pulmonary edema, tribal warfare, and a whole lot of Clif bars. He’s a worldwide adventurer who has traveled to 65 countries, written 3 books, and given live presentations to nearly 1 million live teen and middle school audience members. His new book is called The Warrior Challenge: 8 Quests for Boys to Grow Up with Kindness, Courage, and Grit.

Thinking Out Loud: The Looming Mental Health Crisis Sep 17, 2020

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve no doubt seen a spike in mental health issues over the last year. Most reasons are pretty obvious, of course, but there are other aspects you might not have considered. So I wanted to think out loud about what these are, how they work, and what we can do to mitigate the symptoms. In some ways, a mental health crisis is already here, and if we don’t talk about it--if we don’t unplug from our echo chambers and truly connect with other people--the situation is only going to get worse.

James Nestor - Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art Sep 14, 2020

For our 300th episode, I wanted to cover something so common we take it for granted, and so critical we can’t live without it: breathing. Most of the time, it’s something we do unconsciously, but how we breathe and what we’re taking in are critical. We don’t really give it a lot of thought, but James Nestor is dedicated to changing that. When he and I sat down to talk about the nature of breath, the amount of info and insight he had blew. me. away. We cover the bleeding edge of science on breathing. From the subtle (but chronic) effects of Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, Jame’s personal experience of how we evolved for nasal breathing (not mouth breathing), to some easy ways you can optimize your own breathing technique. As always, share your takeaways with me! Leave a rating or review!

James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was released May 26, 2020 by Riverhead/Penguin Random House. Breath was an instant New York Times bestseller and will be translated into more than 15 languages in 2021. Nestor’s first book, Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves, was published in 2014 and was a finalist for the 2015 PEN/ESPN Award For Literary Sports Writing, an Amazon Best Science Book of 2014, and more. Nestor has appeared on dozens of national television shows, including ABC's Nightline and CBS Morning News, and on NPR. He lives and breathes in San Francisco.

Weekly Training: Transition Fatigue Sep 10, 2020

This week I wanted to cover something a ton of people are experiencing right now: transition fatigue. Each of us has a natural limit on how much change we can take at once. When we hit that limit, issues can start cropping up that’ll impact you and your relationships in a pretty big way.

In my opinion, transition fatigue isn’t talked about enough, so I wanted to cover it here and in my weekly newsletter. Listen in for exactly what transition fatigue is, how it might be affecting you, and steps you can take to recover from it.

Dr. Kristen Mark - Desire Discrepancy, How Covid Shaped Sexual Behavior, and the Science of Sexual Satisfaction Sep 07, 2020

Sex is (obviously) a big deal for a lot of us, and it has a huge impact on a relationship. So as someone who works hard at providing people tools and perspectives on lasting, genuine wellbeing, it’s SO important to me that we get the best ideas, the real science, and the most beneficial tactics to use in regards to sex.

To that end, I brought on Michaela Boehm in June, Dr. Lori Brotto two weeks before, and this week, Dr. Kristen Mark. We had a deep dive into what people in relationships can do to elevate their communication, sexual satisfaction, and tackle “desire discrepancy”. I encourage you to listen in with your partner. There’s a lot of good stuff in here. Let me know your take! Leave a rating and review or connect with on Insta @mantalks.

Kristen Mark, PhD, MPH is a sex and relationships researcher, educator, and therapist. She has spent the past 8 years at the University of Kentucky as a faculty member in health promotion and Director of the Sexual Health Promotion Lab. She is currently transitioning to the University of Minnesota Medical School as the Joycelyn Elders Endowed Chair for Sexual Health Education and Professor in Family Medicine and Community Health. She is affiliate faculty at the Kinsey Institute.

Her research program centers around sexual well-being, specifically the maintenance of sexual and relationship satisfaction and sexual desire in long-term relationships, sexual function and dysfunction, and sexual desire discrepancy. She also engages in community advocacy around inclusive comprehensive sexual health education that integrates messages of sexual pleasure. Dr. Mark holds degrees in psychology, family science, biostatistics, and public health and her research and therapeutic approaches are as interdisciplinary as her training. She consistently has her scientific research published in the top journals in sexual health and has presented her work at hundreds of conferences nationally and internationally. Additionally, Dr. Mark is regularly relied upon as an expert to digest sex and relationship science to print, radio, and television media.

I recently did an AMA on Instagram, and I was blown away by the response! I deeply appreciate your engagement, and so for this week’s mini-episode, I wanted to answer as many as I could with as much value as possible.

There were hundreds of questions, so I clearly won’t be able to cover all of them in under twenty minutes, but keep your eyes peeled. I and my team wrote them all down, and we’ll be going more in-depth on some in the future! Thank you for listening, and if you like what you hear, leave a rating, review, or hit me up on Instagram @mantalks.

Ian Urbina - The Outlaw Ocean Aug 31, 2020

Piracy. Gunrunning. Human trafficking. The harvest of endangered animals. Vigilantes pursuing justice. All happening in a world most of us know nothing about: the open ocean. This week, I sat down with Ian Urbina for an episode unique in the ManTalks canon. It’s my belief that cultivating or embodying the healthy masculine (or feminine) has to involve both inner and outer work, and a big part of outer work is being aware of what’s happening in--or happening to--the world. Ian’s expertise, passion, and concern for this darker corner of human life was readily apparent to me. It was an honor to talk to him.

Ian Urbina, a former investigative reporter for the New York Times, is the director of The Outlaw Ocean Project, a non-profit journalism organization based in Washington, D.C., that focuses on reporting about environmental and human rights crimes at sea.

Listen in to hear about what it was like to chase one of INTERPOL’s most wanted ships, how “labor brokers” kidnap men (and boys) to work on ships, and how shame and pride perpetuate the dangers present on the high seas.

Weekly Training: Should You Break Up With Her Aug 27, 2020

Men, brace for some real talk. I’m asked this question a lot, and it can seem like a straightforward problem to tackle. At first. Any time it involves another person, it’s a big decision, and you owe it to both yourself and the person you’re with to really dig deep and ask the hard questions.

Dr. Lori Brotto - Understanding A Woman’s Desire and Arousal Aug 24, 2020

I’m often asked to examine and debunk some of the myths and info gaps surrounding a woman’s desire and arousal, especially in long term relationships. So I sat down for a phenomenal conversation with one of the leading global researchers in sexual health: Dr. Lori Brotto. If you want real science, practices that work, and great conversation on sexual health, listen in. We dive into what research is showing about arousal, the effects of chronic stress on desire, and so much more. Let me know your thoughts! Hit me up on Instagram @mantalks or leave a review.

Dr. Lori Brotto is a Professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and a Registered Psychologist in Vancouver, Canada. She is the director of the UBC Sexual Health Laboratory where research primarily focuses on developing and testing psychological and mindfulness-based interventions for women with sexual desire and arousal difficulties and women with chronic genital pain. Her book, Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire (2018) is a trade book of her research demonstrating the benefits of mindfulness for women’s sexual concerns. Her current knowledge translation project, #DebunkingDesire, uses social media to debunk myths about sexual desire and share findings from the scientific literature on the nature of women’s sexual desire.

Reclaiming The Warrior and Its Shadow Aug 17, 2020

Is the warrior in us to blame for the division we see in today’s society? Yes...and no. Join me for an in-depth look at the warrior archetype. I cover its modes, its shadow, and why—and this might surprise you—it’s one of the best archetypes we have. From the warrior, we can light the fires of focus, develop clean anger instead of unhealthy aggression, set boundaries instead of borders, and leverage our unique capabilities to bring about positive change inside and outside. At the end, I detail several actionable steps you can take to cultivate and reclaim the warrior. Let me know your takeaways! Contact me on Insta @mantalks or leave a rating and review!

Weekly Training: Expanding Your Masculine Edge Aug 13, 2020

You engage, I respond! A recent post about meeting your edge generated a ton of responses both publicly and in my DMs, so I wanted to elaborate. Whether you call it the masculine, the yang, or something else, there’s a part of us that always craves moving towards our edge: our mental, physical, or spiritual limits. Meeting it with conscious practices can help expand us, but suppressing or avoiding it pushes it into the shadow, which can lead you away from what you really want.
So listen in to hear more about the edge, why it’s important, how I meet it, and what you can do to meet yours. Share your takeaways with me on Insta @mantalks, and share with one person you feel could benefit!

Thinking Out Loud: The Soul of American Culture Is Dying Jul 30, 2020

Today, we're going to be talking about some current events. So this little segment, it's called "Thinking Out Loud", and it's just going to be me thinking out loud about some of things that are happening right now. I've had a lot of people reaching out to me asking what do I think about what's happening in terms of the rioting and the feds picking people up out of Portland and wanting me to comment on police reform and a lot of other topics. I sat with this, and wanted to come at it not from the place of talking about any one issue specifically, but moreso looking at the umbrella--the larger picture--of what's actually happening that's leading to all of these systemic failures within North American culture.

Weekly Training: Why You Numb Out Jul 23, 2020

So this week, I wanted to talk about numbing out. Why it happens, what it’s hiding, and how to tackle it in a healthy way.

Because the more you reject or ignore an emotional state, the more often numbing out will happen, and the more you’ll turn to potentially unhealthy coping mechanisms. With everything going on these days, it’s more important than ever to bring some conscious awareness into things. I hope you listen in.

Roger Nygard - The Truth About Marriage Jul 13, 2020

Why is marriage so difficult? Should you even bother? This week I sat down with acclaimed documentarian Roger Nygard. Using his latest film, The Truth About Marriage as our focal point, we explore partnership in all its forms, biology vs. culture, and the origins of monogamy.

Roger Nygard is perhaps best known for his acclaimed documentary Trekkies, about the most obsessive fans in the Universe. Nygard’s previous documentary, The Nature of Existence, addressed the impossible subject of the world’s philosophies, religions, and belief systems. Nygard has also directed television series such as “The Office” and “The Bernie Mac Show.” His work as a film editor includes “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The League,” and Emmy-nominated episodes of “Who Is America?” and “VEEP” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Nygard has made several other award-winning films, including the car-salesman cult-film, Suckers, and a profile of UFO fanatics, Six Days in Roswell, and now the documentary The Truth About Marriage, accompanied by The Truth About Marriage companion book. Most recently he co-produced and edited The Comedy Store, a documentary about the comedians who came through this world-famous LA club, as well as editing scenes from Borat 2 (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm). Next up: Curb Your Enthusiasm season 11.

Weekly Training: How To Call Someone Forward Jul 09, 2020

Today we’re going to talk to someone about how to call someone forward and not call them out. When we call someone out it’s often about satiating our own ego and almost never has the desired impact on the other person or our relationship with them. We often deploy shame, guilt or anger to call someone out.

Many of us haven’t been taught any other way to give feedback in a productive way. Calling someone forward means we communicate from a position of invitation and camaraderie. It’s about being a mirror for another person. So listen in to find out how to call someone forward.

GS Youngblood - Embodying Masculinity, Creating Structure, and Moving Into the Heart Jul 06, 2020

This week's interview is with GS Youngblood, and it is chock-full of useful advice and insight. In our conversation, we deep-dive into his exciting new book, "The Masculine in Relationship", and cover sexual leadership, the importance of embodiment practice, where we make mistakes in relationships, and what it looks like to respond in a grounded way instead of pure reactivity. I encourage you to listen in with your partner for this one!

GS coaches men in relationship how to live, love, and lead from their Masculine core. He is the author of 'The Masculine in Relationship: A Blueprint for Inspiring the Trust, Lust, and Devotion of a Strong Woman. He has been a student and creator in the fields of men's work for 10 years. Through this lens of Masculine leadership, he also pulls in principles from a variety of fields: psychology, martial arts, tango, meditation, and BDSM. All of his writings are filtered through the laboratory of his and his clients' real-world, long term relationships (including the successes and spectacular failures) to see what actually works and what doesn't.

Weekly Training: Increasing Sovereignty Jun 25, 2020

This week I’m going to talk about increasing sovereignty. I’ve seen that people have been struggling to find a sense of individuality or sovereignty in their life because so much of their opinions and beliefs and identity are outsourced to these large systems like, politics, religion, media and groups.

I’m going to talk about ending relationship complacency. The reality is we can get very stagnant in relationships. I think this is a big fear that a lot of people have.

There’s a concern that instead of a vehicle for growth the relationship will become a vehicle of stagnation. Tune in to find out how to move through this.

Sylvester McNutt III - Finding Alignment Feb 24, 2020

Sylvester McNutt III was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1985. Sylvester fell in love with reading books at a young age, for he would read himself to sleep as far back as he can remember.

After going through an adverse childhood, Sylvester was faced with expulsion in his sophomore year of high school. He then turned to write full-time in his notebooks and sports as his coping mechanisms to heal and process the world around him. Writing put him on the path of self-development, healing, and purpose.

Later in life, Sylvester made his first professional sale ("The Accelerated") on Amazon, independently. He was never a fan of social media but one day he uploaded an image of his writing and book, and when he picked his phone back up, it wouldn’t stop pinging. Friends and family were sending messages asking Sylvester, “Hey what book is that from, I want to buy it?” Upon realizing that there was a demand for his writing, he cultivated a plan to write every Saturday and Sunday night, no matter what. He spent weekends avoiding parties and going out, to work solely on perfecting his craft.

Finally, in February of 2015 Sylvester released a poetry book, TDQJ, and this book gave him the means to focus all of his energy into being an author. He sold 400 copies of that book in one weekend, and that is when he decided to lean all the way into being an independent author.

To date, Sylvester's most notable and bestselling works are Care Package, Lust For Life and Free Your Energy. In 2019 he released his eighth book, Free Your Energy and started the Free Your Energy podcast. Professionally he plans to author three books between 2020-2021, launch his Life-Coaching portal and create new courses for readers to transform their mindsets. As far as the books go, his ninth book, Loving Yourself Properly is almost ready for publication.

Quddus - Becoming Stronger In Hard Times Feb 17, 2020

Quddus (now known as Q) is a TV host and breakthrough coach, originally from Canada. His big break came in 2001 as a host on the hit show TRL on MTV. It led Q to a nomination for “Favorite TV Personality” at the Teen Choice Awards and the cover of TV Guide.
After leaving MTV in 2006, Q hosted shows like Access Hollywood (NBC), Duets (ABC) and The Insider (CBS) which inspired Chris Rock to say, “If Oprah and Ryan Seacrest had a love child, the kid would end up being like Quddus.”
In 2017, his passion for impact motivated Q to create the groundbreaking media training, Camera Ready, and best-selling author Neil Strauss to describe it as “practice and insight that brings out your best self.“
2020 marks the launch of a new venture, The Connected, and what Q describes as “the mission to deepen our offline connection with each other.”

Mini-Episode: Overcoming Laziness By Leveraging Surrendering Jan 23, 2020

Laziness is something we all deal with. It’s the thing holding us back from better routines, sleep, sex, and so much more.
But what do we do with laziness? How do we face it?
We surrender.
This doesn't mean that we let laziness take hold (although that may be what we are already doing).

This episode takes a deep dive into overcoming laziness and takes a non-traditional approach that steers clear of the “just get off your ass and do it” personal development mantra.

Michael Gay - What Is Mens Work? Jan 20, 2020

Michael is a therapist in private practice in Boulder, Colorado. He earned his M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University with a focus in Transpersonal Psychology. He was a Wilderness Therapy guide for 6 years, leading and facilitating in deep transformational work with teens, adults, and families in the mountains and high desert. He has also worked extensively in the field of addiction and recovery. He is currently involved with a rapidly growing men’s organization called Sacred Sons, working to bring men together for transformational experiences, brotherhood, healing, and empowerment.

As a therapist and men’s work facilitator, Michael uses experiential and body based approaches to support healing and transformation because they mobilize emotional content in ways intellectual approaches can’t. He believes many men experience stuckness because they try to think their way through things that must be experienced. In his words, “plenty of men know every little detail of their cage, awareness isn’t necessarily what opens the door.”

7 Pillars Of Intimacy - Intimacy CheckIn Guide Nov 28, 2019

Maintaining intimacy in a relationship is one of the foundational components to a long, connected, and fulfilling relationship.

But how do we check in with our partner and make sure we both feel deeply connected, satisfied, and satiated in our relationship?
So many things can get in the way of our intimacy, so my wife, Vienna Pharaon, and I created a simple way to check in with your partner on a regular basis and see where the relationship stands when it comes to the 7 Pillars of Intimacy.

In this guide, you will rate yourself and your partner for each pillar.

Take into consideration how you are showing up when you rate yourself. Be honest. Are you putting in a half-assed effort? Could you be doing better? Or do you truly feel like you are mostly showing up and leaning in?

What about your partner? Are they leaning in? Doing the work? Going the extra mile? Or are they playing small and avoiding the tough conversations?

Either way, rate yourself and your partner. Share your results without debating or arguing, and then be prepared to discuss what improvement and growth looks like after you’ve both shared your rating!

Download the guide - http://bit.ly/Intimacyguide

If you'd like to do a deeper dive on relationships Vienna and I will be launching the Get The Love You Want course tonight. Check out the link below for more details and to get on the list to hear when it's live.

Mini-Episode: Letting The Feminine Win Nov 07, 2019

In this episode I talk about the concept of letting the femanine win. Not from the standpoint of athletics or intellectual debates or emotional or sexual conversations. This isn’t about placating or dulling yourself down to allow the feminine to win. I’m talking specifically in the realm of conflict.

I’ve seen this theme of the masculine getting caught in a cycle of needing to win or be right rather than understanding and listening.

*Side note. I don't talk about Masculine as being male and feminine as being female. It's two different types of energies that all people have within them. We all have both masculine and feminine energies within us.

He started a blog called The Angry Therapist and quickly built a devoted following of fans who loved the frank and authentic insights that he freely shared on social media.

He quickly built a coaching team of his own and launched a sister company called JRNI, creating a new way to help people help people and change the way we change.

Mini-Episode: It's Not a Political Issue, It's a Moral Issue Jul 25, 2019

Political issues. If you're like most people, you're tired of hearing about them.

But here’s the catch, many of the issues we see in the political arena today aren’t about our political opinions, or who we vote for at the voting box, they are about moral problems, beliefs, and what is morally acceptable.

In this episode Connor looks at why people have such a hard time differentiating between moral and political issues, how to address these conversations, and why this is such a crucial distinction.

Anonymous Man - Facing PTSD, Childhood Trauma, and How Lack of Discipline Impacts Relationships Jul 22, 2019

In this episode, Connor interviews a former Army veteran who spent time in Afghanistan in the EOD unit (explosive ordnance disposal). His job was to go out into the field and support clearing bomb, potential explosive, and hazards so the rest of the command could travel freely.

This episode digs into a lot. The guest talks about coming back from war with PTSD, the impact it had on his marriage, the infidelity, divorce, and childhood abuse he witnessed between his mother and father.

AND it dives into the light that has kept him going through it all: his children and his mission to heal.

This episode is powerful and sheds light on how men can break the cycle of passing on trauma from their pasts, heal from their dysfunction, and take the next step on the road to building a better future for them, their families, and the world around them.

Mini-Episode: How To Be More Accountable Jul 18, 2019

Ah yes, accountability. The thing we all want to have and loath to see personal development gurus who seem to have.

Here’s the deal - accountability is something YOU have to do. Its an essential life skill. You can only outsource, delegate, and offload so much to the people around you… eventually, you will have to be accountable for the things in your life. Some people might pay for other people to hold you accountable, but this episode (and the work I do) is meant to teach you HOW to be accountable.

All of the work I do is meant to teach you how to be more self-led, and thats what this episode is really about.

Paul Ollinger - Navigating transition, The Rise Of Facebook, And Modern Comedy Jul 15, 2019

Paul was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and had a traditional educational experience—went to college, got an Ivy League MBA, then joined the work force with $100k worth of school debt. However, after achieving success in the corporate world (he was one of the first 250 employees of Facebook as VP, West Coast Sales), he finally decided it was time to give in to his true passion. So, he left the high paying tech field behind and dove into the uncharted waters of… stand up comedy.

Today, Paul’s comedy career takes him to clubs and corporate events all over North America, where he has opened for top comics like Dave Attell, Norm Macdonald, and Bill Burr. He just recently headlined Carolines on Broadway and in December, Paul headlined the West Side Comedy Club in New York City and is an official selection of the most recent Laughing Skull, Asheville, Cleveland, and North Carolina Comedy Festivals.

When he isn’t touring comedy clubs, he is the host of his recently launched podcast, Crazy Money, in which he interviews entrepreneurs, celebrities, authors, and artists with a humorous perspective on money, wealth and careers. The show focuses on how we think about and live with money, as a society and as individuals.

Mini-Episode: Why Women Love Lost Men, And How To Know If You're One Of Them Jun 27, 2019

Women are constantly asking me why men ghost, why they can’t commit, or why a man seems to be so lost but would admit it.

This mini episode will look at why women are drawn to lost men, what the signs are of a man who is lost, and how to find more clarity if you are one of those men.

The reality is, when a man is lost or feeling directionless, there are clear signs. He will want to commit in a relationship, but won’t. He will want to lead in his health, finances, and in the bedroom, but will constantly find reasons why he can’t.

This episode will take a close look at the archetype of the lost man, and unpack how he can shift into becoming a man with depth, direction, and clarity.

On his quest for deep truth, Bryan explores the elements that create massive change. During his 13 years at Accenture he led change initiatives with Fortune 100 companies in regulated industries like law enforcement, finance and healthcare. There he uncovered the beliefs, needs, fears, and constraints that drive behavior, and the tools to change them. After being diagnosed with testicular cancer and chlamydia on the same day in 2011, he set out to change sexual health culture and launched Biem, the world’s first sexual health app to facilitate STI testing and partner discussions. Looking to further drive this cultural shift Bryan cofounded “Man Amongst Men” a podcast and monthly live event in NYC where he leads workshops to identify how men’s patterns and purpose can create the environments which they and others thrive. He currently works with clients on identifying and aligning personal and organizational visions.

Mini-Episode: The King Archetype Apr 08, 2019

The King is the pinnacle of the masculine archetypes. It requires us to align out other archetypes and understand ourselves at a depth that so few are willing to explore.

While modern day kings seem to be few, the ones which have existed often embody the dysfunctional polarities of the king.

This archetype, however, is arguably the most important one that men need to develop, especially in todays climate and culture. The king embodies leadership, order, fatherhood, and so much more . Tune in to find out how the king can rule for the benefit of all, or how he can be one of the most destructive forces. Find out how to identify the archetype within yourself, cultivate a healthy connection to it, and how to have a more balanced version of this archetype within yourself.

Marc-Henri Sandoz Paradella - Toxic Spirituality, And Life After The Church. Feb 25, 2019

Marc-Henri Sandoz Paradella was born in 1963, he studied Protestant theology at the University of Geneva to become a pastor. He practiced that profession as a life mission for fifteen years in an evangelical church. Deep questioning led him to resign: he realized the sectarianism and mind blocks that were at the core of his faith, and the sufferings hiding behind them.

He faced little by little his own shadows, and began a long-term therapeutic and integrative work. He passed through a period of ten years of doubts, uncertainties, personal upheavals, professional reconversion, divorce. It was a difficult and dark period, but very rich and of great value to him.

Then, he discovered meditation and yoga thanks to Evelise, the exceptional woman who is now his wife. He got training in Mindfulness meditation at the University of Geneva, then in Yoga Nidra, then in other meditation techniques. He taught meditation and Yoga Nidra for several years in Geneva, while working full time as a counsellor.

After the amputation of his whole left leg due to a bone cancer, in May 2018, he found himself with the urge to find a new balance for his life. The first thing to do, literally, was to learn to walk and live with one leg. Secondly, to try and make sense of what was happening to him. In that process he discovered the need to grow into a deeper and renewed spirituality, one that would fully take into account what was happening to him, without sugar-coating or falling into magical thinking. A spirituality that would truly help him to face reality. Definitely a "no bullshit" spirituality. It is still a work in progress.

Isaac Lidsky - What Reality Are You Creating for Yourself? How to Change Your Thoughts and Improve Your Life. Jan 07, 2019

As Inc. Magazine reported, “Isaac Lidsky may possess the most eclectic resume in business. Over the years, he has been a child television star (he played series regular “Weasel” on NBC’s “Saved By The Bell: The New Class”), a Supreme Court clerk (for Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg), and the co-founder of an internet startup.” The full list of his accomplishments is far longer:

Lidsky graduated from Harvard at 19 with an honors degree in mathematics and computer science. He then founded [x+1] with MediaMath’s Joe Zawadzki, which was later acquired for $230 million. Fascinated by the burgeoning field of “cyberlaw,” Lidsky left [x+1] and returned to Harvard to attend law school and graduated magna cum laude in 2004. As a U.S. Justice Department lawyer, Lidsky argued more than a dozen appeals in federal court on behalf of the United States and never lost a case. Along the way, he founded Hope For Vision, a nonprofit organization to fund the development of treatments for blinding diseases and within 5 years grew it to a dozen cities nationwide and more than $5 million.

In 2011 Lidsky returned to his entrepreneurial roots. He purchased a small, struggling residential construction subcontractor and led the development of a proprietary suite of logistics and ERM software to transform it. His reinvented construction services company grew more than tenfold in its first five years, and today it boasts annual revenues in excess of $250 million.

In 2016 Lidsky set out to share with others his empowering approach to living and leading, and he was promptly recognized as a visionary thought leader. His first book, Eyes Wide Open, hit the shelves as a New York Times best seller in March 2017. TED invited Lidsky to present a mainstage TED Talk at TEDSUMMIT 2016 in Banff, Canada, and it was viewed more than a million times in its first 20 days. Lidsky now consults and speaks to organizations around the world on issues including leadership, accountability and self-empowerment.

In 2018 Lidsky returned to his adtech roots, founding Underscore CLT and taking the helm as its President. Lidsky is determined to lead the development of a new technology infrastructure for digital marketing, using blockchain and related technologies to mitigate the industry’s longstanding structural challenges and to deliver on its untapped promise.

Perhaps most striking, Lidsky is only 39, and he is blind. Born with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare degenerative disease of the retina, from age 12 to 25 he slowly lost his sight. As his bio makes clear, however, neither his youth nor his blindness have limited him.

Philip McKernan - Achieving Your Goals, Understanding Death, And Living Your One Last Talk Nov 12, 2018

Philip McKernan works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world. When people are seeking clarity about their future or want to move through roadblocks, seen and unseen, they call Philip. As a speaker he has inspired and challenged the Canadian Olympic Team and The Pentagon to name a few.
He helps people get clear on who they are and where they need to go. He helps them transition in their personal and professional lives so people feel aligned in all areas of life. Philip believes who and what we do ‘off the ice’ has a huge impact on our results ‘on the ice’.
Philip brings new conversations to the table and spends an obscene amount of time thinking and challenging the status quo, instead of simply repackaging business & life hacking strategies. He is a philosopher, a modern day philosopher of the human experience.
With a knack of getting into all sorts of scenarios – he’s caddied in golf for the President of Ireland, been chased and nearly killed by a bull elephant in Nigeria and made wine in Australia. He has traveled to 80 countries around the globe and has worked with orphans in Sri Lanka, Peru, India and Guatemala, written 4 books despite being dyslexic and his first documentary film will be released in late 2016. The film explores how the gift of giving makes up feel more worthy and alive. It also explores the science behind the impact of giving on our emotional well being, our mental health, our physiology and our business’s.
Philip believes the path to a happy and fulfilling life is found through the meaning we derive in life through the WORK we do, our relationship to OTHERS and the most important relationship of all, the one with ones SELF.

Alistair Moes - Anger: What You Need to Know Sep 10, 2018

Alistair has run Moose Anger Management since 1995, and been in the counselling field since 1989. He leads a team of anger management therapists which include his partner in life and work, co-owner, Alejandra Proaño, MPsy, MSc, MLit, PCC, RCC. Alistair has developed a manner of working with men and women which is respectful, solution-focussed and based on both academic theory and extensive experience. This experience includes working with trauma, and historic abuse in a manner that honours each person and allows for deep healing, as well as looking at the practical “anger management” work that some prefer. During the last twenty-three years he has worked with thousands of people, mostly men, who have made the phone call out of a desire to create change. Alistair helps people to connect to the intelligence that exists in their heads, hearts and bodies in a manner that invites a deeper connection with themselves, and those close to them. He works exclusively with self-referred clients, which includes those sent from the workplace, or strongly encouraged by a partner or family member, or even, unfortunately, sometimes, a lawyer.

Jason Goldberg - How to Stop Being the Victim, Villian and Become the Hero of Your Story May 28, 2018

What does an award-winning entrepreneur, a TEDx Speaker, a bacon-atarian (thats a vegetarian who still eats bacon), a funky sock lover, a former rapper (who opened for the Wu-Tang Clan - YES, really!) and a previously 332lb man (who has since lost over 130lbs despite his affinity for bacon) have in common?

They are all the same guy!

Jason Goldberg (JG for short) is the King of Playful Sales, Success and Self-Leadership. He is a geek, turned entrepreneur, international speaker, Edu-tainer, creator of the transformational “Playful Prosperity” Program and author of the #1 International Best-Seller on SELF-Leadership: “Prison Break: Vanquish the Victim, Own Your Obstacles, and Lead Your Life”

JG combines his signature blend of personal growth, comedy, and even rap music, with his transformational coaching, teaching and training.

JG guides coaches, teachers, speakers and online educators to stop doing Business AS Usual and instead to conduct Business UNusual, through his game-changing “Business UNusual System” Program or The BUS as he calls it, where they are taught systems, frameworks, strategies and mindsets to create a truly COMPETITION-PROOF business by injecting their personality into everything they do so that they are never competing on popularity, price, or parlor tricks.

As an international speaker, JG has shared the stage with some of the world’s greatest thought-leaders and innovators in human potential and performance including Dr. Sean Stephenson (The 3 Foot Giant), Don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements), Vishen Lakhiani (CEO of Mindvalley), Steven Kotler (Stealing Fire), Marisa Peer (the UK’s psychotherapist to the stars) and so many others that he hopes will impress you if these other ones don’t!

You can connect with JG, learn more about his work and discover how to PLAY Your Way to Prosperity in your life and business at www.TheJasonGoldberg.com and www.PlayfulProsperity.com

Art Barter - The Future of Leadership, Servant Leadership Versus Power Leadership May 14, 2018

Art Barter believes “how you get the results is more important than the results themselves.” To teach people about the power of servant leadership, Art started in his own backyard by rebuilding the culture of the manufacturing company he bought in 2004, Datron World Communications. Art took Datron’s traditional power-led model and turned it upside down; and together with his management team, began to serve first. The result: a small international radio manufacturer grew from a $10 million company to a $200 million company in six years. In late 2016, Datron received a record $495 million order which Art feels is a direct result of the companies servant leadership culture.

Fuelled by his passion for servant leadership and the lessons learned from the implementation of Datron’s culture shift, Art founded the Servant Leadership Institute (SLI) in 2008. As a vehicle to share his knowledge and to teach others how to implement servant leadership, SLI inspires and equips those they influence to improve an organization's culture. At the company’s heart is a servant leadership foundational curriculum that includes 45 hours of training for every employee in an organization.

Ben Nemtin - What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? Mar 05, 2018

Ben Nemtin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Do You Want To Do Before You Die, the star of the MTV show The Buried Life, an internationally renowned keynote speaker and producer. As the co-founder of The Buried Life movement, Ben’s message of radical possibility has been featured in The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC News. Oprah Winfrey called Ben’s life work “truly inspiring.”

In a pit of depression, Ben and his three best friends decided to create the world’s greatest bucket list to make them feel alive. They bought a rickety old bus and criss-crossed North America, achieving the unthinkable. And most importantly, every time they accomplished a dream, they helped a complete stranger cross something off their bucket list. From playing basketball with President Obama to streaking a soccer field, from raising over $400,000 for charity to placing a record-breaking $250,000 bet on roulette—Ben’s bucket list quest has inspired millions to chase their dreams.

Ben is co-founder of THEOS, a full-service production company in LA that develops mold-breaking programming for the GenZ and Millennial generations. THEOS has created and produced four series for MTV and Freeform.

Dr. Peter McGraw - The Science (and Art) of Humor Feb 26, 2018

Dr. Peter McGraw is an expert in the interdisciplinary fields of emotion and behavioral economics. His research examines the interrelationship of judgment, emotion, and choice, with a focus on the production and consumption of entertainment.

In recent years, McGraw has been a leading force in moving the study of humor from the niche to the mainstream. One advantage that he has over his predecessors is his ability to conduct state-of-the-art experiments with the help of the team he directs at the Humor Research Lab (HuRL), a laboratory dedicated to the experimental study of humor, its antecedents and consequences. Another advantage is his willingness to leave the ivory tower to delve more deeply into research questions – whether trying his hand at stand-up at a dive bar, attending a funeral director convention, posing as a shopper at a gun show, or singing hymns at a fundamentalist Baptist church. In 2014, McGraw co-authored The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny.

McGraw is a professor at the Leeds School of Business and the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at CU Boulder. He teaches MBA and PhD courses in marketing management and behavioral economics. His work has been covered by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, BBC, TIME, and CNN.

Jaimal Yogis is an outdoorsman, award-winning writer, and frequent teacher. He is the author of Saltwater Buddha, a humorous coming-of-age memoir about running away to Hawaii at sixteen to surf, nearly becoming a Zen monk, and eventually winding up at Columbia Journalism School. The book was named a Best Summer Read by E! and turned into a feature documentary film. Jaimal’s follow up to that book, All Our Waves Are Water, comes out this July from Harper Collins and Publisher’s Weekly gives it a starred review, calling it “captivating” and “beautiful” and CNN’s Reza Aslan calls it “insightful, contemplative, and eloquently written… leaves us to realize that life isn’t about that elusive end goal understanding of humanity; it’s about the risks we’re willing to take in our journey to get there.”

Jaimal’s writing has also appeared in The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Men’s Health, ESPN Magazine, The Surfers Journal, The Daily Beast, and many others. His journalism has won a Maggie Award for Best Feature and he is also the author of The Fear Project, a journalistic and scientific romp about why humans fear and how we can live more fully and courageously. One of Jaimal’s stories stories for AFAR Magazine about the first female Muslim surf star in Bangladesh inspired the documentary, The Most Fearless, which Jaimal is co-producing with award-winning director, Heather Kessinger.

When Jaimal’s not writing, out to sea, or with his wife Amy and their three sons, he teaches meditation, mindfulness, and creative writing at places like Spirit Rock, The Writing Pad, Kripalu, and 1440 Multiversity.

Beau Lotto - Why Our Brains Hate Change Nov 06, 2017

Dr Beau Lotto is a globally renowned neuroscientist whose studies in human perception have taken him well beyond the scientific domain and into the fields of education, the arts and business. Public engagement, in the broadest sense, is at the core of what Beau does – whether he’s creating scientific experiments, giving talks or making TV programmes.

By enabling people to experience what it is to be a scientist, Beau’s aim is to encourage them to see science not as an academic investigation but as a way of being that is relevant to every aspect of their lives: this discovery can be powerful enough to make people think differently about both themselves and the world around them.

Jayson Gaddis - Turning Conflict Into Connection Oct 09, 2017

Jayson Gaddis, relationship student & teacher and host of the Smart Couple Podcast, is on a mission to teach people the one class they didn’t get in school– "How to do Romantic Relationships.” That’s why he founded The Relationship School®. He was emotionally constipated for years before relationship failure forced him to turn his life over to learning about relationships. Now, he’s been married to his amazing wife since 2007 (after some brutal break ups) and has two beautiful kids. When he doesn’t live and breathe this stuff with his family, he pretty much gets his ass handed to him.

Jayson teaches individuals how to use conflict to create a more fulfilling and sustainable relationship. He teaches virtual relationship empowerment classes to students around the globe. Most importantly, Jayson teaches that hidden within any and all relationship pain are the seeds of you getting more empowered in your life and more connected to yourself.

Even though many of his school teachers said he sucked at writing, he writes anyway. His first book for the Smart Couple’s will be out November 2017. He has also written for The Good Men Project, Elephant Journal, Your Tango, The Jungle Of Life, Primer Magazine, Integral Life, and Recovering Yogi.

Some topics in this podcast:

- Conflict, how to lean into it and resolve it - How to transform conflict into intimacy - The relationship between judgement and accountability/ownership - Identifying the insecurity that is the root cause of conflict - The relationship between your nervous system and conflict - How to “do” romantic relationships - What is hidden and deeply embedded in your relationship pain - When to let go of a relationship and when to stay - 2 questions to identify your triggers & work through them

Born and raised in outback Australia, Cameron has turned his dream and passion for helping others into a socially conscious company that empowers people across the globe to make a greater impact.

Mark Groves - How To Create The Love You Want Jul 03, 2017

Mark is a Human Connection Specialist - an emotional translator, writer, speaker and coach. Mark had always wondered what separated people with amazing relationships from those who were just average. Why did some relationships maintain bliss for a lifetime, and others not so much? Why did some people have the ability to lead thousands, and others couldn’t even lead themselves?

Brian Scrone - The Five F’s to Freedom May 08, 2017

Aside from being a razor-sharp entrepreneur, Brian Scrone is a certified yoga instructor in Siddha Yoga, which is rooted in meditation and most importantly, selfless service. Brian has integrated his knowledge and passion of his yoga and meditation practice as well as the importance of selfless service into the core principles of Board Meetings International. www.boardmeetings.com

Brian has always focused on living a healthy and whole life, and he made the conscious decision to build his life and successful business around holistic principles, not the other way around.

Genpo Roshi - A Zen Master's 45 Year Journey Jan 02, 2017

‘You have to swallow the whole fish,’ Zen Master Taizan Maezumi told his students, ‘and then spit out the bones.’ First absorb the tradition, endure the hardships of Zen training, then you can spend the rest of your life separating the real treasure from the culture it came in, learning what you can let go of and what is truly yours.

In this episode Connor and Roger talk with Genpo Roshi about his 45 years as a Zen Master. This conversation touches on his story of his uplifting and exhilarating and humbling journey, including the last five years rising from the ashes of his very public fall from grace, and a candid exploration of the challenge of bringing the essence of the great tradition he inherited to life in the West.

Johnny Berba - My Shame Is What Has Made Me Successful Nov 07, 2016

We were introduced to Johnny Berba through a fan of the show. He said “you gotta check out this pickup artist who quit the industry to focus on self love and healing emotional trauma.” We were skeptical to say the least but when we watched the videos we were sent everything changed.

Now he’s a dating and life coach that can teach you how to attract people naturally - no tricks, no lures, no manipulations or pickup lines - just through being yourself, being honest and direct, standing confidently. Being the true you.

There’s a lot of bullshit out there in the dating world. But everything that Johnny is bringing to the conversation rings through to us - we hope you’ll enjoy.

Joe Solmonese is a fighter. Just ask President Obama. Oct 03, 2016

The ManTalks Podcast - 63: Joe Solmonese

Joe Solmonese is a fighter. Just ask President Obama (we talk about this in the interview).

Under Joe Solmonese's leadership, the Human Rights Campaign (the largest LGBT civil rights organization in the United States) became the model other organizations look toward to create effective social and political change. By using the anger raging from the social injustices he was witnessing, the anger of his adversaries and his followers, HRC was instrumental in passing landmark national legislation such as the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act; repealing “Don't Ask, Don't Tell”; and passing marriage equality acts in eight states.

How did Solmonese do it?

In our interview Solmonese tells Roger that for him, the key to success was learning to harness his anger. Essentially it's just a form of energy. Channeled, it can keep you moving forward on a long journey. But uncontrolled, it can blow everything up.
