‘Det er helt vildt', siger generalmajor Peter Boysen i dette interview, som vi bringer i sin fulde længde. Han er chef for Hærkommandoen, som er inde i en rivende udvikling. Det, som hærchefen har oplevet siden etableringen af Accelerationsfonden i februar, tåler ingen sammenligning med hans forudgående 42 år i den danske hær.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

På sidste spilledag og med rivalerne fra Magdeburg lige i haserne, kunne Füchse Berlin for første gang i klubbens historie lade sig kåre som tyske mestre. Lørdag venter så årets helt store kulmination, når Barcelona, Nantes, Magdeburg og Berlin skal kæmpe om Champions League trofæet i Köln.

In this powerful episode, Brandon Clift sits down with Dr. Gary Barker, CEO and co-founder of Equimundo, to explore one of the most pressing issues affecting men today: male loneliness. Together, they examine how boys and men are taught to disconnect from their emotions, why isolation is so common across generations, and how care and connection can be reclaimed.Gary brings over 30 years of global research and advocacy to this conversation, offering a clear and compassionate look at what drives emotional isolation in men. From systemic social pressures to intergenerational trauma, he unpacks the roots of male loneliness and offers practical pathways forward. If you are a parent, partner, coach, or simply someone who cares about men's mental and emotional health, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:Loneliness in men is not just personal. It is the result of deeply rooted social norms that discourage emotional expression and vulnerability.The cycle begins early. Boys often learn at a young age to disconnect from their feelings in order to "be a man."This pain is passed down. When men are raised without emotional connection, they often repeat those patterns as fathers and partners.Men do want connection. Equimundo's research shows that when given the tools and support, men are eager to show up differently.Change is possible. With empathy, accountability and intentional relationships, we can interrupt the patterns of harm and create a more caring future.Resources Mentioned:MenCare Global CampaignMenEngage AllianceConnect with Gary Barker:Website: Equimundo.orgLinkedIn: Gary Barker BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

Together, they take aim at the deeply ingrained myths of happiness shaped by individualism, capitalism, and domination.Stephanie reveals how these cultural forces disconnect us from true wellbeing and from one another—and how men, in particular, are harmed by messages that tie their worth to productivity, stoicism, and isolation.

It's about presence. About dropping the mask. About recognizing the impulse to power through and instead choosing to pause, get honest, and grow.

Deutschland hat gewählt und bekommt eine neue Regierungskoalition. Was das Ergebnis für Wirtschaft und Märkte bedeutet, darüber hat Dirk Huesmann mit Chefvolkswirt Dr. Ulrich Kater und Chefanlagestratege Jörg Boysen gesprochen.

In this powerful conversation, Jeff Perera, founder of Higher Unlearning, joins Boysen Hodgson to discuss modern masculinity, societal division, and how men can navigate these complexities with accountability, compassion, and integrity.Key Ideas:The Era of Surfacing: Over the past decade, hard truths about race, gender, and accountability have emerged, forcing people to either lean in or push back.The Trust Famine & Empathy Deficit: Deep distrust in institutions has led to defensive behaviors and a lack of empathy in public discourse.The Gardening Metaphor: Change requires patience—nurturing relationships, growing understanding, and allowing transformation rather than discarding people.The Accountability Challenge: True accountability must be invited, not imposed. Without agreements, we can't demand accountability from others.The Inner Compass for Men: A four-step framework for growth: Determine who you are – Define your values.Be what you believe – Align actions with values.Show up for the consequences – Own your impact.Do better than yesterday – Commit to growth.On-Ramps vs. Backflips: Creating accessible entry points for change is more effective than demanding instant transformation.Reframing Masculinity: Instead of just telling men to "do better," we must emphasize healing, self-awareness, and personal growth.The Role of Love & Compassion: Engaging men in change requires making them feel seen, valued, and invited—not shamed or discarded.Jeff and Boysen explore the paradox of isolation vs. connection, the power of self-awareness, and how men can build a healthier masculinity in uncertain times.Learn more about Jeff: https://higherunlearning.com/Text Us Your Feedback!

Brandon and Boysen take a deep dive into why men are often drawn to chaos and conflict. Together, they explore how societal conditioning, personal histories, and even evolutionary instincts create a craving for drama—sometimes at the cost of peace and joy.Using examples from their own lives, they discuss the “drama triangle,” the hidden costs of chasing conflict, and how this behavior prevents men from being present with the people and moments that truly matter. Drawing on Scott Barry Kaufman's research on the “Dark Triad,” they unpack how toxic traits like narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy fuel modern societal divides—particularly in the current political climate.But this episode isn't just about understanding the problem; it's about finding solutions. Learn practical strategies to replace the temporary high of chaos with the long-term fulfillment of purpose, emotional awareness, and love.Why Listen:Are you caught in a cycle of drama without realizing it?Do you want to build stronger, more peaceful connections with others?Are you tired of feeling manipulated by societal and political divisions?Join us as we challenge the narrative of modern masculinity, encourage personal responsibility, and ask the ultimate question: Is the juice worth the squeeze?Links: Scott Barry Kaufman: The Dark Triad & Impulsivity Text Us Your Feedback!
