Podcast appearances and mentions of David Chambers

From chasing status to embodying depth — this powerful episode with David Chambers unpacks one of the biggest myths in modern dating: that women only care about looks, height, or money. In truth, what truly attracts is far deeper — emotional safety, presence, purpose, and the grounded confidence that can't be faked. In this refreshingly honest talk, David breaks down the real traits that make a man genuinely magnetic — and how any man can cultivate them. He reveals why emotional intelligence, purpose, and nervous system regulation are far more attractive than wealth or abs — and gives tangible ways to build them. If you've ever felt like you're "doing everything right" but still not connecting with women — this episode will show you exactly what's missing and how to embody authentic, grounded masculinity that women feel safe and drawn to.

From emotional numbness to genuine connection, this powerful episode with David Chambers dives into one of the quiet epidemics among modern men — disconnection from their feelings. When men can't access or express emotion, it ripples through everything: relationships, purpose, friendships, and even self-worth. In this deeply practical and grounded conversation, David reveals the real cost of emotional disconnection — and how learning to feel again is the key to living with meaning, aliveness, and authentic masculine strength. He breaks down simple, tangible practices to help men reconnect to their emotions, regulate their nervous systems, and build genuine presence in their lives. Too often, men try to "think" their way through life — but as David shows, real growth starts when we drop out of our heads and back into our bodies.

In this deeply insightful episode, David Chambers dives into one of the biggest struggles men face today: a lack of purpose. Why do so many men feel like life is meaningless — even when they have success, money, or relationships? Why does the drive for achievement or pleasure still leave us empty inside? David breaks down why purpose feels elusive for modern men and reveals how to start living with direction, meaning, and authentic power. From emotional disconnection to the illusion of powerlessness, this episode unpacks how to move from drifting through life to consciously choosing it. This isn't about chasing a “grand mission.” It's about learning to feel, make choices, and stretch your capacity — so that life starts feeling alive again. You'll learn how to rebuild your sense of agency, connect with what truly matters, and stop living on autopilot.

Why do men think they're showing up in relationships — but their partners still say, “you're not really here”? In this powerful episode, David Chambers breaks down what it actually means to emotionally show up for your partner — and why so many men fail without realizing it. From numbing out and shutting down, to inconsistency, defensiveness, and lack of courage, David reveals the six essential qualities that make a man truly trustworthy and emotionally grounded. This isn't about doing more. It's about being more present — emotionally, mentally, and energetically. Because showing up isn't just about being physically there… it's about being available. You'll learn how to stop being the passive passenger in your relationship, how to build real trust through honesty and accountability, and what women really mean when they say they want a man who “shows up.”

Why do “nice guys” always finish last?

Are you tired of your partner feeling constantly dissatisfied — no matter how hard you work, how much you provide, or how “good” you try to be? You're not alone. So many men try to fix relationship problems with effort, money, or logic — yet still end up feeling unseen, unappreciated, and disconnected. In this episode, David Chambers reveals the 3 essential masculine practices every man must master to create love that lasts. You'll learn why women don't trust “busy” or reactive men, how your reactivity destroys connection, and what it actually means to be grounded and conscious in your relationship. This isn't about being “more alpha” — it's about embodying a presence that women feel safe with, a consciousness that leads with calm, and a courage that opens even when fear arises.

David Chambers is a Dating, Relationship, and Intimacy Coach who has spent the last decade guiding men into creating the love, sex, and connection they long for by helping them cultivate authenticity, emotional intelligence, and self-leadership. His work today invites men to drop the masks of performance and step into a truer way of relating—one where intimacy, attraction, and deep connection can naturally emerge from who they really are. But David didn't come to this work through theory...This path was shaped by his own lived experiences. After years of painful relationships, years of chasing validation through meaningless sex, and a deep fear of commitment, he found himself disconnected from the very love and joy he longed for. The breaking point came during a world trip, after another painful breakup in Bolivia... What could have been just another collapse instead became a defining turning point. David committed to a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth that reshaped his entire understanding of masculinity, intimacy, and what it truly means to love well.Through this path, he shed the weight of stereotypes and societal expectations he learned of what a “real man” should be. He discovered that sharing his feelings doesn't have to be a sign of weakness but an act of courage, that authentic vulnerability creates deeper connection, and that our imperfection make us human and relatable. It was this commitment towards transformation that now fuels his work with men: Guiding them to create authentic attraction, build deep emotional connections, embody healthy masculinity, and experience connected sexual intimacy.In our conversation, David & I dive into:The root causes of fear of intimacy and commitment in men, and why many avoidant men struggle to feel safe in relationships.How childhood imprints of love and attachment styles shape the way men show up in dating and long-term relationships.How men who fear commitment can learn to feel safe again, and practical steps to rebuild trust.The importance of emotional intelligence for men in relationships, including learning to be with your own emotions and to hold space for your partner's.The difference between sex & true intimacy.The hidden longing behind sexual promiscuity in men, and how embracing the need for nurturance, gentleness, and physical touch can transform intimacy and self-connection.I found this to be a deeply raw & wide-ranging dialogue, and I'm grateful for David's honesty and lived experience in demonstrating how we can challenge our old narratives and imprints of love, relationships, and what it means to be a man, in order to create connections that feel safe, authentic, connected, and alive.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

In this week's mini episode, we're diving into one of the hardest — and most important — challenges avoidant men face in relationships: expressing emotions and needs.

In this powerful solo episode of The Authentic Man Podcast, host and men's dating & relationship coach David Chambers tackles a hidden relationship killer that quietly sabotages love from the inside: avoidant attachment.

David reveals how avoidance shows up in men as emotional shutdown, shallow intimacy, hyper-independence, and constant fault-finding — and why these patterns aren't strength, but fear. Left unchecked, they destroy trust, kill attraction, and keep you stuck in cycles of failed dating and unstable relationships. Drawing from years of coaching hundreds of men (and his own journey through avoidant patterns), David unpacks the unhealthy masculine and feminine energies at play — and shows why being guarded, distant, or overthinking everything is not the answer. Most importantly, he shares a practical roadmap to break the chains of avoidance, open up emotionally, embody healthy masculine leadership, and finally build the kind of love that feels safe, passionate, and lasting. Whether you're tired of short-lived flings, struggling with commitment, or already in a relationship that feels unstable, this episode is your guide to move from avoidance to authentic connection — and to stop pushing love away. #DatingAdviceForMen #AuthenticManPodcast #AvoidantAttachment #MasculineFeminine #MensCoach #EmotionalIntimacy #RealConnection

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, David Chambers speaks with Professor Ben Hine—psychologist and researcher at the University of West London—about the deep emotional toll family breakdowns have on fathers. From the overlooked role of dads in the family court system to the systemic biases men face during separation and divorce, this episode uncovers the hidden truths about fatherhood, emotional well-being, and societal expectations. If you're a father, know a father, or work with families, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. We explore mental health, parental alienation, masculinity, child attachment, and the impact of societal and cultural stereotypes on men's lived experiences. Ben received his BSc and PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London in 2010, focusing on the gender-typing of prosocial behavior in youth. Since 2014 at the University of West London, his work in applied gender and forensic psychology has grown. He has investigated gender in the criminal justice system, including rape myth impact on case progression (with MOPAC), and collaborated with SafeLives and The Mankind Initiative on domestic violence victim needs, including LGBTQIA+ and male survivors.  More recently, he explores post-separation abuse, particularly Parental Alienation, a professional interest stemming from his own parents' divorce in 2020. This personal experience has led to collaborations with various charities, organizations, and parents, as well as reflective writing on family breakdown, abuse, PA, and family court involvement.   KEY TOPICS:   ⭐ Why Are Fathers Marginalised in Custody And Court Systems ⭐ Emotional Fallout From Family Breakdown For Separated Fathers ⭐ The Stereotypes Of The Absent Or Unnecessary Father ⭐ Biological And Neurological Changes In Active Fatherhood ⭐ How Prejudice And Bias Shape Legal Outcomes ⭐ Weaponising Allegations Against Fathers In Family Court ⭐ Children's Long-Term Psychological Impact From Parental Alienation ⭐ The Empathy Gap Toward Men's Emotional Experiences ⭐ Why School Systems Fail To Support Boys Equally ⭐ Class, Culture, And Race In Fatherhood Stereotypes ⭐ Challenging The Traditional Masculinity Through Vulnerability And Involvement ⭐ Reframing Men's Issues As Human, Not Just Gendered Problems   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    Connect With Ben Hine:    Separating Better App by OnePlusOne -https://www.oneplusone.org.uk/news/separating-better-the-story-so-far

In this powerful episode, David Chambers sits down with men's leadership expert Peter to unpack the hidden reasons why so many men feel disconnected, lost, and stuck in their lives, relationships, and careers. We dive deep into the father wound, mother wound, and how childhood conditioning silently blocks men from accessing true power and emotional confidence. Peter shares his own story of transformation — from self-medicating and emotional suppression to becoming a leader who helps men reclaim their purpose, presence, and self-expression.   Peter Eugène Bennett, Born in London, grown in Bangladesh, raised in Glastonbury - my multicultural upbringing taught me to navigate different worlds. Through personal struggles with family tragedy and my own journey with burnout, I discovered that our deepest wounds often become our greatest gifts. I never faced my own shadows of self-doubt, self-harm and self-hate. I hid the pain, suppressing emotions through various escapes, until a near-fatal street fight and arrest became my wake-up call. Yet with struggle comes freedom. I was stuck in my head, and now guide others back home to their hearts. For those who sense there's more to life and are ready to take the leap - I invite you to discover your full expression. My superpower is authenticity. From living with Shipibos in the Amazon to training in Flowstate, each experience has deepened my initiation into leadership. With a colourful 10+ year career in fast paced and creative roles, I found success as a TV presenter, “won” 3 dating shows and worked with brands such as MTV, Vice Media and TimeOut - still my heart yearned for more.. Everything changed when I attended my first men's circle in 2019. Recognising the profound impact of this work, I trained as a facilitator and began leading my own groups, witnessing the power of connection. Now, as Director of Sacred Sons Europe, I guide transformational experiences across the world, whilst offering 1-2-1 coaching and conscious leadership and wellbeing consultancy.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."I remember coming across this quote at Burning Man years ago. It's from writer and essayist Anais Nin. It struck me then, and it reverberates for me still.This photo was taken that year. That sky is particularly specific to that time of evening, as the heat of the day dissolves into gorgeous blue & purple hues.I remember my friends and I were stopped at an art piece, after gallivanting around the playa on our bikes, weaving in and out of the dust and denizens of Black Rock City.That year was the Temple of Transition, and it was a threshold that changed everything.It was then I learned of the role of grief and the necessity to come together in tending the endings that make us human. It was then I recognized my marriage was over, even though it was another year before we parted ways.Recently I had the impulse to look up the words from Anais Nin, and discovered the rest of the quote:"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live. Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat. Perfection is static, and I am in full progress."I love that. That a live worth living is not one of striving for success, but a willingness to fail again and again. This is how one comes to know life. To blossom is a risk. To expose your vulnerability, your authenticity and your creativity is to expose yourself rejection. To dare to become. Somewhere in there, your soul comes alive. This is the spirit of my upcoming Awakening the Wild Erotic, an ritual immersion for men release dysfunctional patterns around “eros,” the primal force of life, and step into a new phase of aliveness.

I figured I'd round them up as a digest and share below. The Authentic Man - Mythopoetic Masculinity and Navigating Conflict in RelationshipI really enjoyed this conversation with David Chambers, where we cover a number of topics, including: Domination vs. Partnership Culture, Reconditioning for Connection, Support systems for couples, Regenerating Culture, The Power of Deep Partnership, Understanding and Dealing with Jealousy, How to deal with conflict in a relationshipEvolving Man - Iron John And The Foundations Of Mythopoetic MasculinityA solid conversation with my longtime friend Ben Goresky. In this episode, I share my journey into the mythopoetic men's movement, which explores masculinity through myth, initiation, and men's groups. I open up about how the death of my grandfather led me to this work and helped me understand the challenges of modern manhood, especially in a culture that lacks clear rites of passage. We discuss the archetypes of the Hero and the King, dive into the themes of Iron John, and explore the importance of men's circles for personal growth and emotional support. We also reflect on the rediscovery of lost initiation practices, reconnecting with passion, and embracing The Deep Masculine to navigate life's stages and challenges.The Smiling Human - Myth as Medicine: Addressing the Crisis of MeaningIn this conversation, Oak Mountain and I discuss the themes of mythopoiesis, masculinity, and the cultural narratives that shape our understanding of identity. We cover the importance of myth in making sense of the human experience, the evolution of masculinity through different cultural eras, and the current crisis of meaning faced by many men today. RiverFlow - Weaving Love, Eros & Men's WorkIn this episode, Harry Friedman and I explore into rich territory. We explore the metaphor of polyamory as a wetland and “relational exclusivity” as a river, to understand different approaches to love and relationships. We dive into the traditional views of elder mentors around marriage and matrimony, contrasting those with the ideas of free love and open relating, particularly those espoused in the Tamera research project. We also discuss how romantic relationships can serve as vehicles for healing, while community plays a crucial role in the broader process of personal and collective healing.Tripping with Nick SunFinally, you're invited to check out this episode with Nick Sun', whose podcast “seeks to explore the fundamental question: How do we live as human beings during these crazy times without losing our freaking minds?”Thanks for reading.

Drawing from biblical texts like 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, and James 3:1, they examine eldership's qualifications, responsibilities, and its spiritual weight. Why is it so easy for churches to prioritize business skills over biblical character? What dangers arise when churches choose leaders based on charisma instead of calling? And how can churches ensure their elders are shepherds and not just board members? Jack and David tackle these questions and more, offering insight into what it means to be above reproach and truly accountable in church leadership. Key Topics Discussed: ✔️ What the Bible says about eldership (1 Timothy 3 & Titus 1) ✔️ The dangers of the celebrity pastor culture ✔️ Why spiritual maturity matters more than leadership charisma ✔️ The importance of local church accountability ✔️ Practical steps for churches selecting elders Resources Mentioned:

I enjoyed a quickening conversation with poet Rachel McCrum about interpreting the crafts of writing and painting, poetry as a space of ambiguity and uncertainty, and burnout. She shares this beautiful line from Inua Ellams - 'poetry is the cheapest way to be free.' And the podcast she references is The Blindboy Podcast by Limerick-born musician and author David Chambers, also known as Blindboy Boatclub. To learn more about Rachel and her work, you can explore rachelmccrumpoetperformer.wordpress.com online and @kicking.paris on instagram.

I couldn't be more excited to share today's episode with you. If you don't know him, let me introduce you to David Chambers - who I actually met for the first time NOT online but in real life, YES I KNOW! When I first heard David at that festival I knew I had to get him on here for you so that you could be as wildly impressed as I am. He is a men's relationship and dating coach officially but actually is so much more than that. We discuss the unconscious teaching that men receive in society (hint, it's not what men OR women truly desire), what it means to be a man, and of course of course the good old dating aps! I know you will love him as much as I do - get comfy and listen in.AND if you want to dive even deeper into how you can manifest more love, more trust, and more resilience in your life, then I suggest you run right over here and pre order your copy of my latest book, Infinite Receiving. When you do there are some JUICY bonuses…do it, do do it!Quotes: "When we avoid rejection, we can never fully be in." "I was always afraid of liking someone more than they like me, and it happened. And I was OK.""We are often attracted to the very things which bring us pain."Highlights 01:03  "Tell me about men. What am I not understanding?"23:24 “It's a conversation that I'm having all of the time with my girlfriends, with my mentors, all of the time about how, as a woman who is in a successful position, how do you really allow yourself to be in your feminine? How do you really allow a man to be in his masculine?”25:52 "But you're looking for signs already that he can't do that job. So you're scanning the man. The men going, okay, what evidence can I see in them, in a chink, in their armor that shows that they can't do the thing I want them to do? And at the first sign, it's like, boom, there we go. You can't do it. I'm not feeling you anymore. You won't be able to allow me to be safe in my feminine. Is the work really to find a man, or is the work to do the work to start to feel safe in our feminine?" 29:30 "Like, what does equality mean? It's confusing for everybody, I think."Find David Online Find David on Instagram Listen to The Authentic Man Podcast Find Suzy on Instagram Find Suzy on Facebook Find Suzy online Join The Quantum Success Hub on Telegram Faith + Action = Miracles

In this week's episode, you get me. You get a raw, honest and from-the-heart episode about my journey as an avoidant and commitment-phobe man and everything that I have learnt and now coach my clients through.   Let me give you an introduction to me & my avoidance because it might not be that obvious.    You've seen me through the podcast, and my Instagram and you might think - “David is an open-hearted, sharing, vulnerable, emotional guy”.   But I wasn't always this way. It was a long time where I didn't want to say how I felt, I'd avoided certain conflict situations, I've even refused to be in relationships for a while. I just wouldn't get into relationships even though I've met women who are truly amazing, and lovely and wanted depth, but I was just - “No, relationships that are worth it I want them to go away. I don't want commitment”.  Key topics include:  ⭐️ Dating & Relationships with Avoidant Men, Common Characteristics and Behaviors ⭐️ How an Avoidant Man Can Create Healthy Relationships and Friendships ⭐ Avoiding Expressing Fears, Needs, Worries. Down Playing Our Emotions ⭐️ Lack of Empathy for Us and Other People's Emotional Experiences ⭐️ Fault-Finding, Being Highly Critical of the People We Meet   ⭐️ Fear of Being Dependent on Other People, and Handling Rejection ⭐️ Facing Our Loneliness & The Need of Alone Time ⭐️ The Behaviour of Cheating in an Relationship ⭐️ Avoiding To Take Responsibility for Our Whole Well Being  ⭐️ The Push-Pull, Hot-Cold, Being Mysterious Dynamic    ✅ I have just opened up registration for the upcoming September 2023 cohort of my 12-week programme “Being An Authentic Masculine Man”, AKA B.A.A.M.M.

Hi everyone. We're taking the week off for the 4th of July holiday, but we wanted to use this week's episode to honor Nobel Prize-winning economist Harry Markowitz, who recently passed away at the age of 95. Professor Markowitz is a giant of finance, someone who put diversification and Modern Portfolio Theory on the map, with his research transforming the way we allocate and invest our assets. While we didn't have the opportunity to interview Professor Markowitz for the podcast, we were able to chat recently with someone who had interviewed him: author and financial researcher Dr. Andrew Lo. Dr. Lo recently published a book titled “In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio,” in which he profiled some of the leading figures in academic research and finance. None stood taller than Professor Markowitz, whom Dr. Lo discusses at length in this interview we aired in February of 2022. We think you'll enjoy it. Thanks so much for listening and see you in a week. Have a happy holiday.Our guest this week is Dr. Andrew Lo. Dr. Lo is the Charles E. & Susan T. Harris Professor, a professor of finance, and the director of the Laboratory for Financial Engineering at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His current research spans five areas, including evolutionary models of investor behavior and adaptive markets, systemic risk, and financial regulation, among others. Dr. Lo has published extensively in academic journals and authored a number of books including In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio, which he cowrote with Stephen Foerster. He has received numerous awards for his work and contributions to modern finance research throughout his career. He holds a bachelor's in economics from Yale University and an AM and Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University.BackgroundIn Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio: The Stories, Voices, and Key Insights of the Pioneers Who Shaped the Way We Invest, by Andrew W.
