Evolutionary Men

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robert Glover, author of No More Mr. Nice Guy, to explore the root causes of why so many men feel stuck, frustrated, and disconnected—and what actually works to break that cycle. We dive into the cost of being a “nice guy,” how men’s groups offer a new form of masculine initiation, and why real brotherhood—not therapy, not status, not hustle—is often the missing piece for men. Robert shares his personal story of transformation, how No More Mr. Nice Guy came to life, and the rise of a decentralized men’s movement that’s quietly changing lives around the world. We talk shame, leadership, male friendship, and why emotional honesty is the foundation of everything men are looking for—whether it’s a better relationship, more purpose, or real peace inside. If you’ve ever felt alone, lost, or like you’re doing all the “right” things but still not feeling fulfilled—this conversation will hit home.

In this episode, I’m joined once again by my brother-in-arms Dr. Luke Adler to dive into something a little different: a reaction and commenting on a recent Diary of a CEO episode [https://feeds.evolutionary.men/~/t/0/0/evolutionarymenpodcast/~https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Fme79UmBNks6htr65pczH?si=bTUKN26oRhm9Mt_JwAtW2w] featuring Logan Ury and Scott Galloway. We discuss the external challenges facing men today — loneliness, economic shifts, the dating gap — while highlighting the deeper root causes we see in our work: emotional illiteracy, the collapse of brotherhood, and the loss of true masculine initiation. We lay out why pursuing excellence and money alone isn’t enough, and what it actually takes for men to thrive in the modern world. This one’s packed — tune in.

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest keys to creating a men’s group that actually lasts: decentralization. I get into why most top-down, subscription-style men’s groups eventually fall apart, why ownership matters more than convenience, and how shared leadership creates real brotherhood that sticks through every season of life. I also share some personal stories — including how one of my very first men’s groups has been meeting for 14 years — and why decentralized groups aren’t just better… they’re the future of men’s work. If you’re serious about finding your tribe and building something that lasts, this one’s for you. Want support starting or deepening your own men’s group journey?

In this episode I’m once again joined by my co-facilitator and brother in the work, Dr. Luke Adler. We go deep into the energetic anatomy of wounding—mapping how blocked emotion and stagnation impact a man’s ability to access both love and purpose. Luke shares powerful insights from decades of working with Eastern medicine and energy systems, particularly around the polarity between the heart and reproductive center. We talk about how those two forces must be in communication for us to feel alive, directed, and connected—and what happens when the system gets clogged or shut down. We also explore why protection isn’t the enemy, how fear gates purpose, and what it really means to tend the fire inside. If you’ve been feeling stuck, numb, or like your spark is fading, this is one to listen to.

What does it really mean for us men to get grounded? In this episode, I explore the crucial distinction between momentary grounding as a state experience versus what you’re actually grounding into – the relationships, community, and life structures that catch you when you can’t catch yourself. Most guys miss this entirely, focusing on quick fixes rather than building the root system that creates true stability and power as a man. Ready to experience the power of a men’s group?
