Talking point: dating, relationships, risk
I recently came across some work by Alexander (aka @DatePsych), where he put together some fascinating data. Turns out 45% of men between 18-25 haven't asked a woman out. Ever. What's the deal? Well, here are two of my theories, and I'd love to hear yours.

Talking points: friendship, masculinity,
Ryan Michler and I have been in the men's work biz for a long time, and we've seen the changesâsome good, some badâin how men are talked about and marketed to by our culture and by the wellness and therapy industries. We dig into the necessity of male friendship in the face of growing isolationism, the upcoming Men's Forge, and a whole lot more. Listen in, team.
(00:00:00) - Intro and why does it seem like men are having a harder time maintaining relationships?
(00:12:27) - On men needing social time and where modern therapy misses the mark
(00:17:56) - How are men contributing to their own isolation and loneliness?
(00:31:44) - On the importance of some confrontation in male friendships
(00:38:32) - Why men need brotherhood as well as challenge, and what to do if you want deeper friendships with other men
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 worldâs 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 lifeâs 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.

Talking points: trauma, validation, mindset, relationships
Recently, I put out a call on Instagram: who wants to join me for a short, recorded Q&A. We had a TON of respondents, but I wanted to highlight four in particular that I feel are unique, but at the same time offer a window into what so many men endure.
These are everyday men from completely different walks of life, all different ages, but united in a single fact: theyâre doing the work. Iâm deeply grateful to each of them for agreeing to be on the show.
(00:00:00) - The story of S, six years sober, who struggles with people pleasing and feeling stuck
(00:16:04) - Câs struggle with internal validation and the relationship with his father
(00:35:15) - Dâs working on feeling worthy, but his relationships have never felt safe or trustworthy
(00:56:47) - P wrestles with some of the contradictions in the self-help space and past trauma

Talking points: masculinity, culture, gratitude, anger, poetry
I donât typically get starstruck or awed in interviews, even though Iâve talked to many incredible people. But David? Well, heâs had an immense impact on my life, and so much of my work and way of thinking lives inspired by him. He joined me in Seattle and shared so much wisdom, beauty, and of course, poetry. Dig into this one.
(00:00:00) - What is the âconversational nature of realityâ, why the unknown is so uncomfortable, and the fear of âdescentâ
(00:18:44) - How the need for control kills off meaning and purpose, and how real poetry and philosophy come from NOT knowing what to say
(00:25:53) - David reads âBlessing of the Morning Lightâ
(00:32:42) - How does a man start building a relationship to the unknown parts of himself, and Davidâs relationship with his father
(00:44:24) - The role of anger and the power of poetry
(00:56:16) - On forgiveness and male friendship
(01:31:57) - How do you properly thank someone whoâs had a profound impact on you?
David Whyte is an internationally renowned poet and author, and a scintillating and moving speaker. Behind these talents lies a very physical attempt to give voice to the wellsprings of human identity, human striving and, most difficult of all, the possibilities for human happiness. He draws from hundreds of memorized poems, his own and those of other beloved poets such as Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Keats, Pablo Neruda, Fleur Adcock and the sonnets of Shakespeare. He is the author of ten books of poetry, three books of prose on the transformative nature of work; a widely-acclaimed, best-selling book of essays, and an extensive audio collection.

Talking points: masculinity, culture
Honored to have connected with the Barefoot Dutchman himself this week. In case you hadn't heard, Anton Nootenboom recently finished walking over 3100 milesâbarefootâfrom LA to NYC to support men's mental health. Yes. Barefoot. We dig into the why, the how, and Anton's core philosophies. Listen in, team.
(00:00:00) - Intro, and what the mental and emotional strain was like
(00:15:39) - Why Anton wanted to raise awareness for menâs mental health
(00:22:04) - What are men struggling with the most these days, and what needs to change
(00:37:48) - The struggle of shifting perspectives on menâs culpability and responsibility, and what to say to younger guys
(00:44:12) - Why is it important for men to do hard things?
Anton Nootenboom is a military veteran with three tours in Afghanistan. He faced severe mental health challenges afterwards, including depression and suicidal thoughts. He found healing in barefoot walking and speaking out about his experiences. Today, his journey embodies his message: men should feel empowered to seek help and talk about mental health.
The #BraveMenTalk initiative, launched in partnership with Barebarics, emphasizes that one man dies by suicide every minute globally. Antonâs walk aimed to raise critical funds and encourage men to embrace a new type of braveryâone that fights against stigma and opens up pathways for support.
