Talking points: relationships So many men fall into a very specific (and usually confusing) trap. They're asked to "be more vulnerable", they go way too far with it, and it ends up pushing the partner into the mother/caregiver/therapist role way too often. I've talked about this before, but let's go deeper. Here's how to interpret what's actually being asked of you. (00:00:00) - What a woman does NOT mean, and one of the paradoxes of dating (00:07:48) - What does she want, really? (00:09:01) - What can’t be filled by romance—and what it actually takes (00:12:14) - Don’t project spiritual meaning onto sexual instinct *** Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Talking points: masculinity, culture Much like open pit mining, our culture has ravaged certain aspects of maturity and masculinity—and it's getting harder to remember what used to be the core components. Here are the most important principles I think most of us have forgotten to implement in our lives. I'd also love to get your thoughts on this. DM me on Instagram or if you're listening to this on Spotify, drop a comment! (00:00:00) - Learn to love and embrace the unknown (00:04:45) - Embrace discomfort (00:08:10) - Take responsibility and ownership almost to a degree that feels uncomfortable (00:10:04) - Build a brotherhood and honor your people (00:12:19) - Have dominion over your impulses (00:16:04) - Become emotionally sovereign (00:18:52) - Honor the feminine without resentment.

I was asked recently what I'd say to men who've been thinking about giving up. Who are at the end of their rope. Not an easy topic, and I don't have a magic bullet or tactical steps for you this time. But I do have a gentle reminder.

Talking points: parents, anger, unavailability My guest this week came to work on how can't see any path other than "it's all on me", as well as a feeling of emotional distance from his father. But why? What's hidden in the shadow that connects the two? This is an excellent episode to get a feel for the work in action—and how we so easily bury certain parts of ourselves and others in the unconscious. (00:00:00) - Intro, what my guest is struggling with, and his family situation (00:10:30) - How my guest’s teenage self felt in the moment (00:19:16) - What’s really going on (00:27:01) - What my guest has realized *** Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Talking points: mindset, nervous system There's good, there's great, and then there's real mastery. I've had the privilege of working and talking with many extraordinary men. Masters of their craft. There's something that all of them do well—and it's what separates the great from the exceptional. Listen in.
