Five days after the anti-Semitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Brandon is joined by Rabbi Noam Raucher, spiritual coach, rabbi, and host of The Jewish Divorce Project, for a grounded and deeply human conversation about grief, fear, resilience, and responsibility.Rather than rushing to politicize or defend positions, this episode slows down and asks a more essential question: How should human beings respond first when confronted with violence?Together, Brandon, Noam, and Boysen explore:The emotional impact of the Bondi Beach attack during HanukkahWhy witnessing pain must come before analysis or opinionHow desensitization to violence erodes our shared humanityJewish resilience and the deeper meaning of Hanukkah as rededication and lightHolding outrage and compassion at the same timeGenerational trauma and how it lives in the body and communityThe difference between knee-to-knee healing and shoulder-to-shoulder rebuildingWhy apathy is more dangerous than angerForgiveness as releasing anger, not excusing harmHow to “bank” moments of safety, connection, and love during dark timesThis conversation is not about answers. It is about posture. About choosing presence over polarization, community over isolation, and humanity over ideology.If you are feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world, uncertain how to respond, or searching for a way to grieve without contributing to further division, this episode offers a steady place to land.- Rabbi Noam Raucher https://www.noamraucher.com- The Jewish Divorce Project https://www.jewishdivorceproject.com- The ManKind Project https://mankindproject.org 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.

If HR wants to evolve, doing things the same way year after year won't cut it.  Change requires bold, new strategies. In this episode of HR Superstars, Karina Young is joined by Crystal Boysen, Chief People Officer at Sprout Social, to challenge traditional HR thinking around risk, planning, and employee value. Crystal discusses why fear-based policies and over-engineered processes create friction instead of trust. She also shares how HR leaders can design systems that help people move faster, with more clarity and confidence. She explains why strategy often fails, not because the plan is wrong, but because organizations never change how work actually gets done. This episode calls on HR leaders to let go of a risk-averse mindset and embrace a more adaptive, people-first approach. Join us as we discuss: (00:00) Meet HR Superstar: Crystal Boysen (06:08) Creating an environment where teams feel safe enough to learn (11:06) A different approach to planning cycles (15:39) Why strategy is not a fixed plan (20:08) What today's employees expect beyond pay and benefits (38:10) Crystal's bold move for 2026 Resources: For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, or tune in on our website.

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.
