Lost Men Podcast

Well it's Facebook official, and now it's podcast official. We've been checking in on our boy Sean as he's worked though the process and now he is officially divorced.  We talk today to see how he's doing and his plans for the future.  (Yeah I know I messed up on the episode list so we are going with 12 for this one).

First off, apologizes for the delay.  We experienced some technical difficulties, well, Shad struggled to figure out why this episode wouldn't load in to the editing software...But he figured it out!  This episode we talk about setting and achieving goals.  The men discuss how opportunities arise and how one of them took full advantage (and we were celebrating while recording) .  Thank you for your patience on this episode!

We talked about burnout last week, hope you enjoyed and learned something.  This week we shift to discussing wellness, the 3 main pillars and important issues with each.  Finishing up this series next week we will be talking about how to use the information on burnout and wellness to identify and change habits and behaviors that need adjustment as well as how to set and achieve goals.  

In part 1 of this two part episode Sean and Shad talk about their personal experiences and observations with burnout.  They discuss how leaders in organizations can push to change a culture of burnout and turnover to wellness and increased productivity.  In part 2 next week the guys will dive into wellness, how to keep yourself out of burnout and be happy and successful in your profession and at home.

Sean and Shad compare notes on what they would tell their younger, dumber selves.  This little exercise is pretty entertaining and also a good reminder to our much older selves about what is important and what we need to keep focusing on. Side note we will be taking next week off, episode 9 will go up 4/24.  Be safe, if you can't be safe be smart, and have a great week!

Sean and Shad discuss the issue of defending your significant other, physical violence and "toxic" masculinity.  Of course Mr. Smith's actions provide a great backdrop to an entertaining discussion of relationships and what it means to be a man.  If you're tired of hearing about "The Slap" don't worry you'll enjoy this one.  

Sean and Shad dive into the brutal world of living with regret.  Sit back and listen in as two guys discuss what regret means to them, how they have felt it in the past and how they have overcome it.  Regret is a waste of time and energy, if you got a few, take a listen and see how you can move forward and out of living in your past.  

Picking up where we left off in part 1, exploring and discussing a few "nice guy" traits.  The guys discuss self improvement and steps one of them is currently taking to become a better man. 

The first installment of a two part episode where we continue to explore a failed marriage in realtime.  The men discuss what needs to be done when a relationship fails, and how one of the Lost Men is making progress and gaining strength by attempting to understand how they got here and what they need to do next.  Sit back and listen in as the lost men discuss how to come out of "failure" as better, stronger, men. Part 2 will be released Wednesday March 23rd and Episode 6 on March 27th. 

The first in a series of episodes that will explore relationships.  This first installment is an open and brutally honest discussion about the status of one of the Lost Men's marriage and what the future holds.  Life comes at us quick.   What do you do when you get blindsided?  How do you find the strength to move forward?  Tune in and listen as two men start a "post-mortem" on a relationship at the beginning of the end.

Sean and Shad sit down to talk with a very wise, not so old man, Shad's dad, Scott Thomas.  As we did in the first episode, Scott is going to share the cliff notes for his life as we all discuss the challenges that he has faced and how they have shaped the man he is today.   Next week in Episode 4 we will begin start our dive into relationships...

The realization that you are lost in a job or field that is not right or healthy for you is a difficult one to come to. Shad and Sean sit down and talk about how to assess your position, and how to take the next steps to finding happiness and balance in your career and life.

Sean and Shad sit down and talk about the origins of Lost Men, how they came to create a podcast, and what the future of Lost Men Podcast looks like.
