Bryan Stacy faced a testicular cancer and sexually transmitted infection diagnosis on the same day. A man in his early 30s, Bryan found his life soon changed with surgery, chemo and recovery for three months at his parents' house. The testicular cancer experience led him to look at his life and what he wanted out of it. He left his job with Accenture in Washington, D.C., moved to New York City, and founded two successful businesses as a creator of tech to help people feel safe and help men feel comfortable talking about their general health and sexual health. With those two businesses behind him, Bryan Stacy now has another business in development.

#268 The Article: 10 Questions Every Man Must Ask About His Life Join the Facebook Group for Men: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGreatManWithin --------------------------------------- There comes a time in a man's life – usually at 1:30am on a Sunday night when you're trying to sleep – when you start to ask yourself the deeper questions about life, such as: “Who am I?” “What the hell am I doing with my life?” “How many more streaming services before I feel complete?” These are big questions, well, the first two were at least, and they can be nearly impossible to navigate on your own. You see, the quality of your life often depends on the quality of questions you ask. That's particularly true of the quality of questions you ask as you inspect your own life. As we're already in the final 90 days of 2021, you may find yourself asking deeper questions about how you showed up this year, how you want to finish this year, and how you want to kickstart 2022. So to help you do that, the final 13 episodes of 2021 are all organized and tightly focused around one central theme: Stepping Into Your Great Man in 2022. That means we'll be honing in on: How to design the next year of your life How to design the optimal day How to execute on the complex and meaningful changes in your life The books you need to read in 2022 How to build a life that feels adventurous, meaningful and full of forward momentum These are just a few of the topics you can expect over the final 90 days of this year. This episode kickstarts our 90 day march towards the finish line of 2021: 5 Questions Every Man Must Ask About His Life. By the way, these questions have been sourced by the men in The Great Man Within community…there's 10 of them actually. And the big dawg Bryan Stacy and I are going to get you started with the first 5 questions. The other 5 are linked in the show notes with the article titled: 10 Questions Every Man Must Ask About His Life. This article is a great piece for you to share with the men in your life who are starting to ask different questions about their life…but are hesitant or unsure about taking action yet. It's written in plain English so the mainstream man can digest it. And again, that's linked in the shownotes.
Hello horizontal lover. Intimacy investigator. Horizontalist. Typically, horizontal is the podcast about intimacy of all kinds, recorded while lying down. The first part of our conversation is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and the last part is available exclusively to my patrons on Patreon. But this: is Season 4, my Season of Experiments. And this experiment is an installment of Alexa Martinez's that sex chick podcast, which was, full disclosure, recorded while in bed, but (gasp!) sitting upright. For that sex chick, it's episode 34, and for horizontal, episode 128. I'm told it's the longest Alexa has ever gone with a guest, so, here's to horizontal stamina. *wink* In this episode, sex parties done right, I share the orientation I lead at my last play party — which is a Facebook-safe euphemism for a sex party — in its entirety. Alexa's super-connected sex-positive crew of curious kittens, a collective on Facebook called That Sex Group, have been really curious about these parties. Both of us have found it's what a lot of people want to know about when they find out it's a) something we've got a fair amount of experience with, and b) something we're willing to talk about publicly. So here! We made you an episode. This contains the lion's share of wisdom I've gathered about play parties during my 7 years in the sex-positive community. What can happen at a play party, how you prepare for it, how to communicate with your partner or partners about it, some points of etiquette, and some of my personal tales of play parties past. I first met Alexa at a Future of Sex panel, curated by the podcast host and sextech expert, Bryony Cole, who was my guest for episodes 28. future of sex, and 29. sexual attitude readjustment day. This was also the very same event at which I met Bryan Stacy (who was on said panel) & Dominick Q., champions of men's work and co-hosts of The Great Man Within podcast, who were also my guests for a Season Threesome on episodes 76. the discerning dick, and 77. post-sex choice. (In Season Three, I got horizontal with two guests at a time, who were in some kind of relationship with one another. Hence: the season threesome!) Recently, I guested on The Great Man Within, and we did a deepdive into The Stoplight Game. It's episode #220, titled, “How To Ask For What You Want in the Bedroom.” This to say that… in the not-so-distant future, when I have Alexa on my podcast AT LAST, we will all have been guests on each other's shows, and isn't that a particularly pretty podcaster-polycule? Yes. Yes I think it is. Alexa is my kindred. She approaches sex, love, & relationships with the same kind of voracious curiosity I do, tickled through with playfulness. She was one of the first to encourage me to set up shop as an Intimacy Coach, and now, three years later, I finally have. She sometimes has purple hair and is always up for a frolic and a photo opportunity and a deep conversation. You can hear her smiling when she talks, and the way she shares her vulnerable relationship realizations with the world are both an affirmation and an inspiration to me. I love her. I hope you will too. Come get figuratively horizontal with us, in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia, and Austin, Texas.
#230: Join the Facebook Group for Men: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGreatManWithin Ya’ll are in for a big old treat today. After about 230 episodes, we are finally turning the spotlight on our brother that everyone loves, my co-pilot and partner crime Bryan Stacy. One year ago, Bryan hit absolute rock bottom, having just dissolved his baby, a tech startup that left him in debt, a bruised ego, an inner narrative that told him he was a failure…all at the same time our world was entering lockdown for a mysterious and scary global pandemic. Less than one year later, Bryan built a new company from scratch, which caught fire, securing marquee clients like HBO, Netflix and Dancing With the Stars…allowing to pay off all of his debt…which is remarkable…and obliterating the inner narrative of “I’m a failure.” And that’s just the business side of things. He’s got two more surprises to share with you in this episode that he’s even more excited about than the success of his business…but I’ll let him be the one to break those to you. It’s been said that “The Darkest Hour is Just Before Dawn,” and Bryan’s story is the very epitome of that lesson which is all too easy to forget when we are enveloped by that darkness. Bryan’s story today is meant to be in service to you… …as you look to turn any of life’s adversities into a triumphs. In this Episode How your Identity – your self concept – is the make-or-break factor in how you handle adversity How to build the muscle to roll with the punches that life will inevitably throw at you Why only making decisions from your mind is like playing your life with a half deck Why only making “reasonable” “logical” and “practical” decisions leads to one hell of a boring life
In this episode, we have the wise, exciting, and energetic Bryan Stacy. We dive deep into a variety of topics including religion, lessons on pain, belief and behavior, competition and the human condition. This is a wide ranging conversation with moments that'll make you say "WHOA", Bryan's story is a wild ride and Bryan's energy is infectious. Bryan Stacy is the co-founder and CEO of Valheala, a coronavirus testing & tracking protocol for groups and Biem, an-award winning company whose mission is to redefine perceptions of sexual health, confidence and wellness through digital solutions. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Bryan spent over a decade working at Accenture and with the FBI. Bryan is also the co-host of The Great Man Within Podcast with Dominick Quartuccio, a previous two time guest of the show. Check them out everywhere you get your podcast.

Episode 313: It can be difficult to navigate the delicate nuance of balancing conscious masculine energy with thoughtfulness and consideration for your partner's (and your own) feminine energy. Men lose credibility with women often through not be present to the needs of their partners. Join Madelyn as she discusses the ways men lose credibility with the women in their lives, as a guest on Dominick Quartuccio's & Bryan Stacy's The Great Man Within Podcast. Show Notes: The Great Man Within Podcast can be found here: https://www.doinnerwork.com/podcast Bryan & Dominick focus on spiritualizing healthy divine masculinity in proper balance with the feminine. This episode about things men can do to make women feel safe was in their top five of all podcast episodes. Dominic was on the podcast, Episode 283: Making Your Love Darker and Your Goals Lighter - maddymoon.com/dominick-quartuccio A free companion PDF to this episode is available - maddymoon.com/freegift The five ways men lose credibility: Hesitation, a man who wants to lead and is a little bit afraid. If her belief is that she can't trust the masculine, to prove her wrong, do it with fervor. Don't ignore her concerns - listen and hear. Lead strongly and with conviction. Lack of integrity on what you can and cannot handle. Make the space for yourself and your needs, so that you can fulfill those needs and be present when you're with your partner. Not following through. If you have wounds about someone not being there when you needed it are so easily reopened by not being available when you are needed, but conversely can also be healed by simply being present. Respect both your time and the time of your partner. Failing to go unconscious in transitions. The moment your bodies are no longer connected after sex, can your keep your spiritual connection? Defending yourself rather than listening to her. The feminine has been shushed, poked, prodded, limited, beaten, sold, raped, separated, mutilated, and silenced since the beginning of humankind. When you listen to her and start to change the paradigm of how these interactions go, you are healing the feminine." When you partner is presenting you with a complaint, search for where they are right.

Show guests and BLL speakers, Dominick and Bryan jam out with me on what it takes to call in a king (and where to find one) if you're single, and call him forward if you're in a relationship. As women rise to the next level of themselves, so does the standard for the kind of partnership they deserve.

Have you ever pursued a goal, only to later realize that goal wasn’t going to fulfil *you,* it was only going to serve your ego or fill a void you had inside? That’s exactly what happened to Bryan Stacy when his near decade-long pursuit of getting into the FBI culminated with him realizing that the reasons he’d wanted that job were to fill a void within himself. At that point he embarked on some major changes - many of which led him to follow the things that made him anxious and find ways to deal with his own pain points head-on.
On his quest for deep truth, Bryan explores the elements that create massive change. During his 13 years at Accenture he led change initiatives with Fortune 100 companies in regulated industries like law enforcement, finance and healthcare. There he uncovered the beliefs, needs, fears, and constraints that drive behavior, and the tools to change them. After being diagnosed with testicular cancer and chlamydia on the same day in 2011, he set out to change sexual health culture and launched Biem, the world’s first sexual health app to facilitate STI testing and partner discussions. Looking to further drive this cultural shift Bryan cofounded “Man Amongst Men” a podcast and monthly live event in NYC where he leads workshops to identify how men’s patterns and purpose can create the environments which they and others thrive. He currently works with clients on identifying and aligning personal and organizational visions.

Welcome to the second threesome of Season 3! Horizontal is still Slow Radio. It’s still consensual eavesdropping. It’s still us reclining, sharing secrets, in your ears. But while the first two seasons had me lying down as though post-coital and stargazing with only one person at a time, in Season 3 I’ll often get horizontal with two people at a time: people who are in some kind of relationship with one another. In this case, they are co-hosts, business partners, and friends. In this episode, 76, and the following, episode 77, I lie down with Dominick Q and Bryan Stacy of The Discerning Dick, a monthly series focused on generating worthy inquiry and meaningful introspection into the forces that shape a man's sexuality, behavior and intimate relationships. I attended the first three Discerning Dick events at The Assemblage in Manhattan, and it gave me an echo of the feeling of the day I got to be a fly on the wall during a men’s group meeting in Ashland, Oregon in 2008. Undoubtedly, what I saw and heard was changed somewhat by the fact of my witnessing. But what I heard was still a powerful window into minds and bodies that I wanted desperately to understand. Dominick Q is a men’s group leader, an executive mentor, a speaker, and a writer. Bryan is a sexual health advocate, a testicular cancer survivor, and the co-founder of the app biem, which is designed to allow people to easily get tested for STI’s and share their test results with partners. Bryan and I have been planning to produce an event together — look out for TESTFEST 2019! Dom & Bryan also co-host the “Man Amongst Men” podcast, which they call a “High Achieving Man's Journey to Personal Development.” They are both men who have spent the majority of their lives focused on standard notions of external success. And now they are focused on what that energy might look like, and what it might eventually do out in the world, if they first focus on their inner world. They are cisgendered straight white males trying to heighten their self-awareness in order to do better, to be constantly in the process of becoming better men without claiming to have arrived at it, and sincerely making the effort to bring other cis straight white men along with them. I can think of many men that I would like them to talk to. Men also suffer from the indoctrination of a culture that shames us for our natural human sexuality yet objectifies women to sell things to nearly everyone. These men aim to be a bridge between a man who doesn’t know that he’s swimming in water… and the sex educators and personal development leaders of the world. They aim to speak directly to men who feel stuck in a lackluster sex life or mired in sexual habits that are destructive or secretive, or both. Just as it is a white person’s responsibility to educate themselves and other white people about intersectionality, injustice, and the perniciousness of racism, so too is it a man’s responsibility to educate himself and other men about intersectionality, injustice, and the perniciousness of sexism. I deeply, Heartbreakingly believe that a lack of self-inquiry combined with sexual repression is a direct cause of the lion's share of violence on this planet. They are aiming for the root. And I want to do everything in my power to stand for that. Dominick and Bryan don't claim to be experts; they just aim to be willing: willing to be educated, to be called-in, to adjust their worldview, and to tell other men what they've discovered, publicly. Find Dom’s work on dominickq.com and dominickq on Instagram, the Biem app in the app store and Bryan on Instagram as @talkingnut, and you can find their projects together, including the Man Amongst Men podcast, on DoInnerWork.com * On April 27th, The Joy List and I are hosting The Sleepover, which is not a sex party, but an overnight opportunity to indulge in copious playfulness, connection, and joy! There shall be: Pajamas SNAX personal development quizzes Intimacy games A sound bath meditation Sensation Play with car buffers and pinwheels a giant teddy bear named Tiny And Surprises You can get 20% off of your ticket if you use the secret code: HORIZONTALITY, in all caps. * In this first part of our conversation, we talk about erections, the three forces that shaped their early view of sexuality: Faith, Family, & Friends, scrambled porn, an addiction to masturbation, what the Bible actually says about premarital sex, Unitarian Universalism, bargaining with God over sexuality, and how Bryan’s sexual shame kept him from getting tested, and led to a dual diagnosis of testicular cancer and chlamydia. Come lie down with us in New York, New York.

Bryan Stacy is back on the show. For those who did not catch my first interview with him, it is available here. In that episode, we talked about Biem, an app Bryan co-founded with the goal of better sexual health, safer sex, and sex-positivity. This time around, Bryan and I will talk about his testicle – yes, singular. You see, he had testicular cancer and had one of his testicles removed – which is why we're using the singular form of the noun. Bryan will recount the events leading to his testicular cancer diagnoses, what happened during his bout with the affliction, getting over this seemingly traumatic phase, and lessons learned. It was an awesome and informative conversation that we shared where we covered topics such as: The efficiency and redundancy of our bodily organs and functions. (02:12) Why he waited three months before going to the doctor despite symptoms. (03:18) Chlamydia, treating it, and its complications. (04:38) Self-diagnosing and the texture of a cancer-inflicted testicle. (07:40) The real reason why he finally got checked and how long must you actually wait before getting checked. (11:04) How testicular cancer spreads, the stages, the extent of damage in each stage, and the age group in most danger of testicular cancer. (13:18) The rapid-succession emotional rollercoaster and questions he had upon learning about testicular cancer. (15:20; 18:15) What orchiectomy is, how it is done, and opting out of the prosthetic testicle. (16:16; 18:27) Women's reactions to his lone nut and how it affects sexual performance. (20:37; 26:42) The type of testicular cancer he had and the options given to him to prevent relapse. (28:41) Why he thinks he manifested testicular cancer on himself. (41:46) Fears people experience related to reproductive and sexual health. (43:47) How Brian sees that the ordeal positively affected him by just talking and connecting with people. (34:22; 48:54; 51:49) How he thinks his testicular cancer affects his testosterone levels. (1:02:45) Bryan's advice to people and how the app, Biem, is trying to fill the void by providing a safe space and credible resource about sexual health. (58:06; 1:06:31) I did say on the Biem episode that Bryan's testicular cancer story is worthy of one full episode, and here it is – I hope you enjoyed it. There's so much to know, learn, realize… from Bryan's insights, his experience and the mindset he took on the obstacle he went through. Connect with Bryan on Instagram.

Technology has enabled us all to make leaps and bounds in different facets of our lives. From the most extraordinary feats to the seemingly mundane ways that it is making things easier on our day-to-day. From engineering, transportation, government intelligence, forensic sciences, to medicine, health, dating, and even sex. Bryan Stacy is one of the pioneers who decided to use technology to spark a change in how we see sexual health and how it impacts our relationhsips. He battled and overcame testicular cancer a few years ago. It is this experience that motivated his passion to raise awareness on sexual health. He co-founded Biem – an app that empowers people to take control of their sexual health and use this information to aid their dating game. Some of the topics we've explored in our discussion are: How discovering that he has testicular cancer and chlamydia changed the trajectory of his career (03:00). Coping with testicular cancer by blogging about the ailment's emotional toll (06:48). The early beginnings of Biem, its goals, and crazy ideas they had to achieve their goal (09:05). What is smart sex, and an overview of what the app does and provides (12:43). How the app makes it easier for people to have the conversation about sexual health (18:13). The design of the phone application that secures user data privacy (20:11). Getting information into the app, improving app features and content, and simplifying the information for its users (26:38). How the LGBTQ community are trailblazers in when it comes to sexual health transparency (29:46). Integrating Biem with dating apps, and a few dating apps that we recommend (31:56). Moving away from society's stigma about being tested positive for certain STD/STIs (42:37). The level of people's sexual health awareness based on demographic segments (49:54). The various health complications resulting from STD/STIs and vaccines available for specific STD/STIs (53:17). Opening up the sexual health conversation between parents and their children (1:02:19). This is an immensely educational episode – and Bryan's story on his bout with testicular cancer and chlamydia… that can be another episode! Stories of people's experiences and struggles driving them to make innovations and be the change the world needs are always inspirational. And in this case, it is even practical. To know more about Biem, visit their website BiemTeam.com or reach out to Bryan via Twitter. Biem, the app, is available for both Android and iOS. Getting people to talk more about sexual health is imperative. Contribute to getting that conversation started by sharing this episode with as many people you know! I am always grateful for the time you take to tune in to the show. Slowly we can raise awareness on the myriad of issues and topics surrounding sex, relationships and dating.
