Hunter Dickinson is a freak and when you watch him play for KU all you can ask is, why isn't he in the NBA after years of college hoops? I'm no draft expert but I know this, he's better than everyone else in college and it showed in a stunning performance in KU's win over Kentucky. It's as lopsided as Xi negotiating with Biden. Good people are in focus after 300,000 supporters of Israel gather in DC without a single incident. It's easy to see good people in the world. A listener highlights that for us all with a story that brings your humble host to tears. You don't want to miss this. Then, it's on the to the regular season game of the year as the Chiefs defense prepares to make amends for a poor showing against the Eagles in the Super Bowl. We break down what these two teams are good at and where they struggle. KU football coach Lance Leipold has done a surprising 180 on his qb situation a day after he said he was "very optimistic" Jason Bean would play against KSU. What's going on here? The Big 12 has a tiebreaker mess on its hands with two weeks to go in the football season and it's clear they'd better draw up some plans for having two or four divisions in the league going forward. Gary Woodland is courtside in Chicago after brain surgery, Rory McIlroy resigns from the PGA Tour Board and we have an update on a Seinfeld reboot.

In this episode, we tackle the notions of toxic masculinity and discuss the waves of opposing feminist movements with their ripple effects on the global community. We also highlight the importance of the Prophetic example in paving the way for God-conscious, healthy masculinity.What are the "Man Rules" and "Woman Rules" that we take for granted, and how do they contribute to toxic masculinity in our cultures? Are gender differences socially constructed? What does Islam say about the similarities and differences between the male and the female? How can we reclaim our masculinity in light of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)'s Sunnah and Divine Revelation? These and other questions are explored in this episode.References used and resources mentioned in the episode:- A Man's Way through Relationships: Learning to Love and Be Loved by Dan Griffin- A Man's Way through the Twelve Steps by Dan Griffin- Dan Griffin's podcast, "The Man Rules Podcast"- Helping Men Recover: A Man's Workbook, Special Edition for the Criminal Justice System by Stephanie S.

This week, we are speaking with Dan Griffin, CEO & Lead Consultant of Griffin Recovery Enterprises. Dan Griffin, M.A., is an internationally recognized author, thought leader, and expert on men's relationships and masculinity. Dan's work and life is dedicated to exploring and redefining what it means to be a man in the 21st century. Dan is dedicated to helping men be better men by understanding the impact of the Man Rules® on their lives and finding the success in their personal lives they are striving for in their professional lives. Griffin's book, A Man's Way through Relationships, is the first book written specifically to help men create healthy relationships while navigating the challenges of the “Man Rules,” those ideas men internalize at very young ages about how to be real boys and men. Dan was honored to serve as a Senior Fellow at the world-renowned leader for treating addiction and trauma, The Meadows, from 2015 through 2017. Griffin's professional background includes over two decades in the mental health and addictions field. He is also the author of A Man's Way through the Twelve Steps, the first trauma-informed book to take a holistic look at men's sobriety. He co-authored Helping Men Recover, the first comprehensive gender-responsive and trauma-informed curriculum for addiction and mental health professionals. Griffin earned a Master's degree in Sociology from the University of Kansas where his graduate work was the first qualitative study centered on the social construction of masculinity in the culture of Alcoholics Anonymous. Dan grew up in the DC area and lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Nancy, and his daughter, Grace, and has been in long-term recovery from addiction since he graduated college in May of 1994. Topics Discussed: What it was like growing up in an alcoholic home Navigating emotions and sensitivity as a young boy into adulthood The parallels between sobriety and becoming a man Recognizing emotions and accepting our trauma to find true healing Being conscious men (and women) to move into authenticity The gift of recovery that never stops giving Connect with Dan Griffin: Website: https://dangriffin.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DanGriffinMA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/authordangriffin/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/authordgriffin Additional Resources: What Men Would Tell You..If We Weren't Too Busy Watching TV - https://dangriffin.com/dans-books/ A Man's Way through Relationships - https://www.amazon.com/Mans-Way-through-Relationships-Paperback/dp/B010EX58I6/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1458234757&sr=1-4&keywords=A+Man's+Way+through+Relationships%3A+Learning+to+Love+and+Be+Loved A Man's Way through the Twelve Steps - https://www.amazon.com/through-Twelve-Steps-Griffin-Paperback/dp/B00ZLWC7CG/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1458236067&sr=1-4&keywords=a+mans+way+through+the+12+steps Connect with Positive Recovery MD Podcast: Website: https://www.positiverecoverymd.com Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/577870242872032 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Connect with Positive Recovery Centers Online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters/ Contact Positive Recovery Centers:If you or someone you know needs help, visit the website, or call the number below to schedule an assessment.

Guest One: Dan Griffin Author of “A Man's Way through Relationships: Learning to Love and Be Loved” An essential guide to the challenges men in recovery face in creating and sustaining healthy relationships in all areas of their lives. Every idea is presented through the lens of the “Man Rules”―the often unconscious ideas men carry with them into every relationship they have that affect their ability to find true connection. Dan Griffin excerpts interviews with men who share their innermost lives and experiences with relationships and draws from his own life with over two decades of recovery and ten years of marriage. Readers will learn to recognize how their ideas about masculinity have shaped who they are and how they approach their relationships. A Man's Way through Relationships offers practical advice and inspiration for men to define, with their partners, their own sense of masculinity, and thus heighten their potential to love and be loved.

Dylan loves to combine his knowledge and passion to create events and experiences for people in recovery; such as Poetry Slams and Sober Raves. He is well known as an inspirational speaker and gifted facilitator; as well as a spoken word artist. His purpose is to transform despair into hope and create a common bond through shared meaning. If you are looking for a professional who uniquely addresses the despair and hopelessness of the struggles with addiction, or the recovery process, as well as provides hope, and real solutions, through an empowering shift in perception, then you've come to the right place! You can feel confident bringing Dylan in as your speaker or facilitator. Connect with him today and explore how he can add value and an uplifting experience to your center, conference, or event.
Hey everyone! We're back from our holiday week off with Episode 11 of the Mighty Ducks animated series, "Microducks" It in fact was not about a "Fantastic Voyage" style parody. We discuss Captain Planet, a new villian shows up with a boss look, we accidentally become pro-gun, we're upset by Phil's only lines in the show, we decide the ducks are playing by Antman shrinking rules, Sky talks about pot like a complete narc, and the ducks could have a megazord now? https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
Welp. Here we are. The final episode of The Man Rules podcast. Dan and Andrea (the show's producer) take the opportunity to reminisce, reflect, and ruminate on what might be next... Sometimes, abundance comes from letting go. You've gotta make room to receive whatever gifts may be coming your way. Thank you for making room for The Man Rules podcast. We hope your time with is was only the beginning of your journey toward freedom and personal fulfillment.
There's no tenure for manhood. The false promise of The Man Rules, is that if you follow them closely enough, for long enough, you will soon rest easy in your identity as man. But, the truth is, a man's status as a man will have to constantly renewed--daily. Sometimes hourly! Think of all the opportunities he has throughout the day to mess up, and have his man card revoked! (Men: For help with this exercise, see the list of The Man Rules, and ask yourself how many you've followed and how many you've broken today.) In this episode, based on the final chapter in Dan and Allen's forthcoming book, we talk about one of the most frequent opportunities men have to feel emasculated--when someone asks them a question for which they do not have an answer. Women: Dan and Allen help you understand why your man seems to cling so stubbornly to giving advice and solving all your problems for you when you really just want him to listen. Men: Dan and Allen will help you recognize whether you're suffering from working so hard to avoid the discomfort of not knowing, the constant need to prove how much you know, and idea that you should not have to work to know the answers--you should be born knowing, if you are a real man. Dan and Allen don't have all the answers, but they do have their own experiences in learning to let go of the need to know, and they share those with you in order to help you improve your relationships.
After more than two years of operation, we have made the difficult decision to end production of The Man Rules podcast. So, this week Dan's solo episode--his last solo episode--is about what it means to embrace change. One thing we know for sure is that change is constant. It's not good or bad. The amount of control you have over what changes and what doesn't is very limited. (Some folks even believe that in most cases, you have no control at all.) So, what do you do with that? Short answer: You roll with it. The more you can embrace change, and look for what it might be trying to teach you, the more your life will flow freely. We are grateful to all of you who have surfed the waves of change with us over the years, and will continue on your own journeys. We wish you all the best.
We've been producing episodes of The Man Rules podcast every week for almost 2.5 years now. It's been an honor to provide this for free to our listeners as a resource for those in recovery, and those who just want to live more conscious lives. Unfortunately, we've reached a crossroads with the show. If we can't find a source of funding to cover the show's monthly expenses, we'll have to discontinue production. Would you be willing to offer a small monthly donation to keep the podcast running? (Say, around $5 a month?) If so, send an email todan@themanrules.com and let us know you're interested. If enough folks say "yes" we'll go through the process of setting up an official donation channel...

It was a true honor to have Claudia Black, a pioneer in the study of the impact alcoholism has on families, join us on The Man Rules podcast. Claudia has dedicated her life to looking at the impact of trauma on family systems and the generational impact of alcoholism and other addictions. In this week's episode, Dan and Claudia talk about what makes shame and trauma are so powerful and how to better recognize their impact. Claudia breaks down exactly what trauma is and provides some practical resources to help listeners deal with the effects of "little t" trauma. To learn more, check out her latest book, "Unspoken Legacy."
Listeners of The Man Rules podcasts tend to be types who, in one way or another, want to live better. They want to free themselves from the limitations placed on them by society's rules for how men should behave. They want to move beyond the fears and emotional barriers that keep them disconnected from others. They want to move beyond addiction, shame, trauma, and self-doubt and live life as consciously and completely as they can. All of this takes work. A lot of work. Constant, daily, continuous work. And work--well--sometimes it sucks. Although the work we're talking about on our show comes with many invaluable rewards, you can still get burnt out by sometimes. That's why, as Dan explains in this solo episode, it's important to give yourself a break, in order to prevent yourself from giving up.
Have you ever asked yourself that question? You may think, "procreation, of course" but that doesn't explain why people who don't want kids have sex. If you say, "fun and pleasure," that doesn't explain why, for the most part, we still seek out sex with other humans--even in an era where we can access porn within seconds, have sex toys discretely delivered to our doorsteps in two days or less, and maybe even order ourselves a sex robot, if all we really need are no-fuss orgasms. The only explanation left, is that sex allows us to feel a certain type of connection and intimacy with another human being, that is difficult to achieve in any other way. In this episode, Alexandra Katehakis of The Center for Healthy Sex is back to talk to Dan about sex and intimacy, and how men can begin to identify what they really want and need from a sexual partner, which is often hidden--even from themselves--by The Man Rules, which tell them what they should want.
One of the most frequently mentioned Man Rules is “don't be weak.” As a result, many men end up feeling ashamed when they become ill or injured. “Don't be weak” may also be at the heart of a man's resistance to acknowledging his, and everyone's, ultimate weakness--that they are mortal. Rick Belden is back on this week's show to talk with Dan about facing unexpected major illnesses, and reckoning with the inevitable--and often unpredictable--end of life. We know—This episode sounds like a total drag. Why would anyone want to spend 45 minutes of their already too-short lives listening to two guys talk about death? Well… Because it's something we all have to make peace with at one time or another, and it's hard to make peace with anything you aren't comfortable talking about. We hope this conversation might open doors to your own conversations with your friends and loved ones about the ultimate end, and how you can all support one another in the precious meantime.
Once a month, Dan and Dr. Allen Berger sit down to talk about a chapter from their forthcoming book, What Men Would Tell You…If We Weren't Too Busy Watching TV. The title of book is meant to be humorous, but it speaks to the real frustration that many women experience in their (heterosexual) relationships. The book breaks down each of The Man Rules in an effort to help women understand the roots of men's sometimes baffling responses to intimacy, commitment, and vulnerability. This week, Dan and Allen explore The Protector Rule, and how it can bring out both the best and the worst in a man. The protector rule is often what drives a man to protect the family and the community he cares deeply about it. But, it also drives some men to justify cruel behavior toward their partners with the assumption that “it's for her own good.” Dan and Allen help both men and women recognize how The Protector Rule is at play in their relationship in both negative and positive ways.
All too often men are tossed into The Water and told to sink or swim. For any struggle we face, we're often given some version of the same, age-old advice: “Man Up.” (What the hell does that even mean? Especially at a time when we aren't entirely sure what kind of men we are supposed to be.) But, it doesn't have to be this way. Men need a space where they can have real conversations about the unique challenges they face in today's society - what frustrates us, what scares us, what confuses us, what gives us strength, what brings us joy, and what gives us hope for the future. We can learn so much about how to live the lives we truly want by hearing about one another's successes and failures, and by getting real, actionable advice on life and relationships from men and women who aren't afraid to get real. In this, the first episode of The Man Rules podcast, Dan provides a description of the water and lays a foundation for the journey toward conscious masculinity.
In this episode of Waking Up Bipolar, Chris Cole speaks with Dan Griffin—addictions expert, public speaker, and host of the Man Rules podcast.Dan has dedicated his life and work to exploring and redefining what it means to be a man in the 21st century. He is committed to helping men be better men, by understanding the impact of the Man Rules on their lives. Dan also helps men find the success in their personal lives they are striving for in their professional ones. Griffin’s book, A Man’s Way through Relationships, is the first book written specifically to help men create healthy relationships while navigating the challenges of the “Man Rules™” — ideas men internalize at very young ages about how to be real boys and men.Griffin’s professional background includes over two decades in the mental health and addictions field.

Is “keeping it 100” a thing people still say these days? Many eons ago, back in 2015, it meant “to be you, be honest, be true to yourself and the people you love, be unapologetic but respectful at the same time.” In other words, it has pretty much been the goal of The Man Rules podcast from the beginning. We wanted to create a space, figuratively speaking, where men could show up and have open and honest conversations about who they were and who they were becoming as they began to become more aware of The Man Rules and break free from them. So, here on the eve of the 100th episode, Dan and Andrea talk about what they've learned from the first two years of making The Man Rules podcast, and what they hope the show may become. Please email us at ideas@themanrules.com, and let us know where you think the show should go in 2019 and beyond. We'd love to hear your ideas on guests, topics, and/or just your general opinions about the ideas expressed in each episode. You can also find us on Twitter and Facebook, of course.
We all have a story about what it means to be a man. What we aim to do on The Man Rules podcast is to help each other figure out how we can be the authors of our stories. We don't want to just mindlessly step into a role that was written for us, centuries ago, based on the needs and values of a world that no longer exists. Is there any man on Earth, who embodies this struggle more than Santa? In this episode, Kris Kringle (a.k.a. Santa Claus) sits down with Dan to talk about the darker side of being Santa. Though he considers it an honor to be the world's ultimate provider, the pressures to always show up as the man we expect to see definitely takes its toll. He talks about his 631-year marriage to Janet, how he let go of perfectionism and shame, his ongoing struggles with body image, and his reckoning with his own mortality. He also shares some exclusive, never-before-heard secrets of how the Christmas magic really happens. You REALLY won't want to skip this one.

There are two ways we tend to think about vulnerability these days. The first is in terms of our technology. When websites like Facebook experience a data breach, we are reminded that our personal information is “vulnerable” to hackers. (That's bad.) The second, is in terms of emotional courage. The rise in popularity of thinkers like Brene Brown has taught us that vulnerability is a willingness to show up, be seen as we really are, and form connections with others without hidden agendas. (That's good.) “Connecting” with person X, in order to achieve Y, as so many of us in sales and/or politics often do, is not the point. The point is just to connect— for the sake your mental and spiritual health, and, more importantly, theirs. In this episode, Dan and Allen point out some of the key differences between healthy vulnerability and unhealthy vulnerability. And, for partners who struggle to understand why their men won't just talk about it, for godsakes, they also point out some ways in which The Man Rules make practicing healthy vulnerability difficult for men, and offer some ideas for how you can help change the culture of vulnerability in your household, and beyond… Allen also shares his recent first-hand experience with both physical and emotional vulnerability as an evacuee of the California wildfires. Allen, his family, and his home are all okay, but there are many who still struggling through the aftermath. Here are some ways you can help them.
We are all sexual beings. In some ways, it's completely natural to notice attractive people and feel...certain urges. But, when do those natural, healthy urges cross over into something unhealthy--perhaps even sinister? When and how do those urges begin to influence how you see women (sex objects) and how you see yourself as a man (sex machine)? (Note: If you are a homosexual man, just replace "women" with men. It's definitely possible for men to overly objectify other men!) In this solo episode, Dan talks a bit about his own urges--NOT in great detail. This episode is only rated PG-13.-- and his struggle to understand the impact The Man Rules have had on his view of women's sexuality and his own...
In our monthly Deep Dive episode, Dan talks in depth with one man about how The Man Rules have impacted his life, and how he has worked toward a more conscious masculinity. This week Michael Dinneen manages to say a lot of really profound and beautiful things about finding God, without sounding the least bit like a sanctimonious arsehole. (That's a rare gift.) The conversation runs the gamut from friendship, parenting, recovery from addiction(s), and what it means to be a man. But, the highlight of each topic is the paradox that's inherent in any man's attempt at self-actualization— You can't become self-reliant on your own. In fact, the more you rise out of the mucky swamp of your ego, the more you need to rely on others and on a power greater than yourself. After listening to this episode, you're probably going to want more wisdom from Michael. And you can find it in his book, The Gift of Fulfillment.
Guest Introduction: Dan Griffin is an internationally recognized author, speaker, thought leader, and expert on men’s relationships and masculinity. He is the CEO and lead consultant at Griffin Recovery Enterprises, Inc., and the host of The Man Rules Podcast. He is also the author of several books, including “A Man’s Way Through Relationships: Learning to Love and Be Loved.” Interview Summary: In this interview, Dan first describes how he struggled with internal questions and confusion around masculinity for many years. He talks about beginning this exploration into vulnerability and expressing emotions while in recovery from a serious addiction. Dan then goes into the three main concepts that he deals with in his work: The Water, The Man Rules, and The Woman Rules. He describes The Water and The Man Rules in more detail. He also discusses his experience in men's recovery groups, and Chris comments on his recent experience at a men's group retreat. Next, Dan talks about how we all want to love and be loved. He explains why connection and intimacy are contradictory to The Man Rules, and how being more intimate and vulnerable can trigger a lot of stress and conflict. Chris then discusses some of his struggles with emotional vulnerability. Dan talks about how deep The Man Rules are entrenched in our lives. He goes on to describe the essence of conscious masculinity, and how all relationships are about three things: connection, disconnection, and reconnection. Chris then talks about how being fully present and conscious leads to naturally attracting women and emerging as the leader of a group. Dan cautions that it's a lonely road to becoming more present and conscious. He also explains why he believes that the pursuit of success is one of the greatest downfalls of men's work. Chris clarifies his original statement, and emphasizes the importance of meeting people where they are. Dan then elaborates on the idea of spiritual bypassing, and how the tools we use for increased consciousness can end up becoming blocks to consciousness. Chris and Dan discuss some of the ways that consciousness can lead to disconnection. Chris then explains how quality leaders develop. He also talks about the challenges that his clients face, and how their desires evolve over time. Dan shares some of his traumas, and talks about how they defined him for a long time. He describes his process of acknowledging and moving beyond them. Chris mentions how traumas pass down through families, and Dan emphasizes that we repeat what we don't repair. Dan goes on to discuss The Woman Rules. He explains how The Man Rules and Woman Rules are opposites, and why the path to healing is different for men and women. He also stresses why it's important for men and women to learn to empathize with each other. Chris talks about victimization and the different traumas that men and women face. Dan then explains how the Man Rules and Women Rules, left unchecked, can play out in ugly ways in our interactions. Finally, he describes the Karpman Triangle, and how people interact with each other in relationships in three main ways: victim, perpetrator, and rescuer.

What do people mean when they say that “it's a man's world?” They mean, in most cases, that men possess most of the power and control in our society. But, what does that mean? Most men balk at the idea that they are “in control.” That's because, like most things related to gender expectations, the definition of “control” can be a little murky. Men get the message in a million subtle ways from birth that a “real man” steps up and takes control in any critical situation. He's expected to be the leader in the boardroom, the living room, and the bedroom. He's expected to be in control of his emotions at all times, to be the one to discipline himself and his children. He has all the answers. He solves all the important problems. He earns the income, and controls how it is spent. He decides and directs. He takes action. He moves others to action. And he… must be so freaking exhausted. THESE are The Man Rules and the expectations they place upon men. Of course there is nothing wrong with men taking on leadership roles if they feel qualified and called to it. It all comes down to whether they have a tendency toward “toxic control” or “nurturing control.” The rule that says men must lead, must control all outcomes, and must control those around them in order to achieve desired outcomes, is a form of toxic control and leads to a lot of misery for men, and the people around them. In contrast, “nurturing control,” which we agree sounds like a total oxymoron, is a tendency to take control of a situation when and if it is needed and warranted, and when those affected feel comfortable with ceding control to you. In this episode, Dr. Allen Berger returns for another installment of the What Men Would Tell You… series. He and Dan offer some insight for women into where a man's tendency toward toxic control often comes from, and how they may be able to support him in adjusting that behavior. AND, as an added bonus, women listening may be able to begin to recognize some of their own tendencies toward toxic control, with the end goal of forming a more equitable, mutually supportive, and satisfying relationship. Practical & Tactical Tips Reflect on one relationship that is important to you. How does toxic control show up in that relationship? How does nurturing power show up in the relationship? Note: Don't ask yourself if you exhibit toxic control, ask how. If you ask how, we can assure you will find some presence of those behaviors in the relationship. Experiment. If you find that you often feel the need to be right, try giving that up. Look at disagreements from the other person's point of view and not yours. For example, if they say, “You never understand me,” instead of immediately pointing out all of the ways that they're wrong, consider the possibility that you don't really understand them. Investigate it instead of dismissing it as untrue or feeling like you need to correct them.
Everyone told you being a Dad would be hard, right? Many probably even said, “Nothing can prepare you…” And, man, they were so right. There's nothing we can tell you to make the transition to being a new Dad a smooth and easy one, but we can help you figure out how to be more involved, more present, and more engaged as a parent and a partner. That's what we're aiming to do in this series of Daddy Downloads from The Man Rules podcast. In this episode, Dan shares some thoughts on how Dads can help keep the home fires burnin' in the bedroom and beyond.
In this episode of The Man Rules podcast, Dan and Andrea struggle along with the rest of American through a conversation about Brett Kavanaugh, gender-based privilege, and the politicization of victimhood. All of those are fancy words for some real “complicated shit.” By the end of the episode, the honorable podcast hosts both rule in favor of self-reflection as critical to growth and the development of real, meaningful and lasting success. Without it, one could remain frozen in adolescence, using the same old markers of success from his high school and college days--love of beer, sly references to esoteric sexual innuendos, athletic and academic achievements, and did he mention his love of beer?-- as markers of success when he's in his fifties. That would indicate that he might be a man who, when he became a man, failed to put away childish things. (Just sayin'.) Sadly, protracted adolescence is nothing new for a lot of men. The Man Rules and how we raise boys to be men sets a lot of men up for that but how do we support them in taking responsibility for it? Lack of self-reflection can leave one blind to their own privilege, blind to the power that often comes with that privilege, and unaware that they can do real damage with the choices they make. One man's “silly” behavior, is another man's - or woman's - abusive and demeaning behavior. At the end of the day, it can be really hard to see The Water sometimes. Especially when there's a benefit to not seeing how other people may be drowning in the same water in which we are swimming so freely. How do you know the difference? Well it certainly has to happen in conversation with other. And we have to listen to others. And believe their truth. That cannot happen without humility. And one cannot have humility when they simply stand in judgment of others.
Everyone is interested in how men and women are getting along these days. What if there were something other than “we're from different planets” model? Once a month my good friend, Dr. Allen Berger, and I take over the Man Rules podcast to talk about our forthcoming book, What Men Would Tell You If They Weren't Too Busy Watching TV. This month Allen and I start our Man Rules discussion where we are going to discuss each of the 10 Man Rules that we unpack at length in the book. The first one is the Man Rule that is most often the first one named when I have the audience identify the Man Rules themselves: Don't Cry. This powerful Rule is about much more than simply not crying. It is one of the mega rules because so many of the other rules are built into it: don't show feelings, don't be vulnerable, don't be weak, and many more. How does it show up in your relationship? How does it show up in your life? The Water is very deep with this Rule.
As our regular listeners know, Dan is working on a new book, What Men Would Tell You If They Weren't Too Busy Watching TV with his good friend Dr. Allen Berger. Allen is back on the podcast this week— as he is the third week of every month— to share more of the “whys and hows” behind the book. In this episode, Dan and Allen talk about why they chose to write a book specifically for women. The Man Rules tend to prohibit men from being truly open and honest about who they are and what they need. It can be difficult for women to find a way in, in order to develop a deeper connection. The book is all about helping women create an opening in the relationship where there wasn't one before. Through the questions and conversation topics Dan and Allen suggest in the book, women may once again be able to see their relationships as places of endless possibility, almost as they did when they first met their man. To help illustrate those possibilities, Dan and Allen share examples from their work with couples and from their own lives and relationships. The book, however, is not about women having to change who they are in order to make that connection. Part of the secret is women learning not to take their partners' behaviors personally. Dan and Allen cannot emphasize enough that if a man is acting inappropriately or in any way abusively, the woman has no role to play in “fixing” that.. That woman should put down the book and get professional help for her safety and to help heal or end the relationship. As Dan says, “At the end of the day we're really just trying to provide a resource for women to get a better look at the inner lives of men. We want to create a little more compassion and empathy providing a different perspective on their man's behavior.” There is no question that our society is deeply interested in how men and women get along these days. And there are certainly models that have attempted to negotiate that. What Allen and Dan are doing is a different approach. No more of this "we're from different planets" crap. This is two men who are very committed to growing in their relationships with the women in their lives. They believe part of the solution is helping women better understand men from a conscious man's perspective. We'd love to hear what you think about this episode, AND/OR to hear about your experiences with the Man Rule we'll be covering next month: Don't cry.

That's what we're aiming to do in this series of Daddy Downloads from The Man Rules podcast. In this episode, Dan shares some thoughts on how Dads can get back into the parenting game when they feel like they've been sidelined. When you and your partner have a baby, the focus often quickly and completely shifts away from your relationship and toward the needs of the baby. How can you begin to balance the baby's needs, your partner's needs, and your own needs, while being the best possible Dad you can be? It's not easy, but it's possible through honesty, open communication, and humility.
Tim Clausen, author, jazz musician, and friend of The Man Rules podcast, passed away on July 29. Tim was on a mission to help men—especially gay men—find their voices, find peace, and find love in all of its many forms. We were so fortunate to have known him and to have had him as a guest on the show, where he modeled the emotional courage and open curiosity about his own inner life and the inner lives of others we believe is key to helping men lead happier, healthier lives. In this episode, we pay tribute to Tim by looking back on some of the best advice, insights, and personal experiences he shared on the show. Tim's words inspired us to keep working to find our own voices and live our most authentic lives, and we hope they will do the same for you. He will be terribly missed.

That's what we're aiming to do in this series of Daddy Downloads from The Man Rules podcast. Parenting is full of surprises. Some expected but a lot of them unexpected. The majority of the surprises we have no control over. That can lead to a lot of different feelings! So what do we do as fathers? What do we do when we can get this little creature who doesn't respond to reason or argument to stop crying? How do we take care of our own frustration and not let it get in the way of our connection with our child? We talk all of the time on The Man Rules podcast about anger. And, of course, it's one of the few feelings that men are allowed to have in this society. What about all of those other feelings though? All of those same feelings our little beings embody every moment of the day? If you are not a man used to noticing how you get triggered by others' feelings this podcast could help. A baby is completely defenseless, vulnerable, and unpredictable. Do any of those sound like qualities that The Man Rules embrace or prepare men to be able to handle? We aren't going to pretend it's easy but we do give you some really effective tools that you can use right away - none of which cost you any money whatsoever to access.

Everyone told you being a Dad would be hard, right? Many probably even said, “Nothing can prepare you…” And, man, they were so right. There's nothing we can tell you that will make the transition to being a Dad a smooth and easy one, but we can help you figure out how to be more involved, more present, and more engaged as a parent and a partner. That's what we're aiming to do in this series of Daddy Downloads from The Man Rules podcast. You can listen to each episode in the same amount of time it takes your toddler to color the cat's paws with permanent marker, drop your phone in the toilet, break your favorite coffee mug, and give herself a black eye by stumbling into a doorknob. (i.e. about five minutes.) Dan offers three no-nonsense tips on how to define your role as a Dad, and be the kind of father you want to be. In this, our first Daddy Download, Dan dives into the issue of true co-parenting. Dads these days are likely to be much more involved in their children's lives than their fathers' were. But, sometimes stigmas about who should perform childcare duties (i.e. the woman, or the “more feminine” partner) still leave many Dads feeling left out. Dan shares three tips on how to stay engaged as both a parent and partner after you've had a child.
In this monthly What Men Would Tell You...If They Weren't Too Busy Watching TV episode, Dan talks with Dr. Allen Berger about Dads--Specifically, the ways in which many men carry hidden grief over their relationships with their fathers. Men tend to bury and carry a lot of grief about their relationships with their Dads. Whether their Dads died or left the family when they were young, or were just emotionally absent during their upbringing, many men suffered from a deep, underlying sadness about their fathers inability to connect with them. And this sadness, filtered through The Man Rules, often came out as anger, rage, and/or good, old-fashioned “strong and silent type” stoicism. This is the perfect companion episode to Dan's solocast last week Dear Dad. There is no question this can be a heavy conversation but Allen and Dan bring their usual goofiness to the conversation. (You can be goofy, and still be alright, after all.) And, they offer some important tips to men who want to parent differently and for women who want to support them in that.
You have issues with your Dad. Whether you have a great, not-so-great, contentious, or non-existent relationship with him, there are bound to be some pain points that you've never talked to him or anyone else about. That's why this month (June) we're devoting every episode of The Man Rules podcast to exploring the good, the bad, and the ambivalent in regards to fatherhood. In this episode, Dan kicks off Father's Month by recommending that you write a letter to your Dad. You can talk about whatever you want and start however you would like. Just start the process and see what happens. You might talk about any lingering anger, sadness, pain, or frustration, you currently feel toward him. You don't have to send it, of course. (In fact, in most cases, you probably shouldn't send it. Even if you think you do want to send, it's best to let it sit for at least 30 days before you make that decision.) The idea of writing a “Dear Dad” letter automatically brings up a lot of resistance in people. When Dan asks people to write this same letter in his workshops, many people get angry, defensive, and uncomfortable. Each person's stated reason for not wanting to do it is unique, but subconsciously, it all likely boils down to one thing— fear. Opening those old wounds can change the way you see your father for better and worse. Whether you idolize or vilify your father, chances are, writing this letter will bring him up (or down) to a human level. And, that can start to break down some of the usual defences and coping mechanisms you've developed around that relationship. Seeing your father in black and white terms— as either a total saint or totally irredeemable asshole— might be preventing you from seeing him fully, and as result, might also prevent you from seeing yourself fully. And, as if that wasn't enough, your relationships with all other men have been shaped in large part by your relationship with your father; heal your wounds with your father and you'll likely heal your wounds with other men. If you approach this exercise openly and honestly, you might start to uncover unhealthy perceptions and patterns of behavior you've never noticed before. And, that's a very important step toward living more consciously. Finally, remember this: You cannot write the WRONG letter but you can write the EASY letter.
Dr. Allen Berger is back to help Dan introduce an exciting new monthly project for The Man Rules podcast! Dan and Allen are working on a book called What Men Would Tell You… If They Weren't Too Busy Watching TV. It's geared toward women who find the behavior of their male partners and/or spouses to be...puzzling, to say the least. Actually, it's for all women in a relationship looking to better connect with the man in her life. The book doesn't ask women to adjust their own personalities or behaviors, but instead gives them tips for creating space for understanding and cooperation. All of that is pretty exciting, right? But, here's the really exciting part. Each month, they'll be answering relationship questions and sharing comments from YOU, Man Rules podcast listeners! If you're stuck in a relationship rut, need some perspective on what your partner could possibly be thinking, and/or want to share what you wish your partner understood about you, email dan@themanrules.com.
Men are four times more likely to die by suicide than women, and their depression is more likely to manifest as anger and violence. As this week's guest, Terry Real, puts it men either feel that they are failing the agenda or that the agenda is failing them. Men today are awash in intense conflicting messages about what it means to be a man. And, they are finding that the things that they once took for granted as the rewards for following The Man Rules--the right job, financial security, sex, marriage, family--are not as easily guaranteed as they'd been taught. There's a lot for men to be depressed about these days. The Man Rules may be limiting in many, many ways, but for a while, they at least provided solid ground for men to stand on. Lately, that ground has begun to crumble beneath their feet. The challenge is that men don't necessarily know that they are depressed. In fact, it can be quite easy for them to miss it. So how can we help them see it? What can their partners do? This episode will help you understand how depression shows up differently in men and give you some practical advice on how to recognize and address the symptoms in yourself and others. While it's true that these changes in gender dynamics will likely lead to more opportunities for both men and women in the future, it's important to make sure that we don't lose too many men in the shuffle.
DAN GRIFFIN, M.A., has worked in the field of recovery for over twenty years and leads men's retreats across the country. He is also the host of his own podcast The Man Rules which explores what it means to be a man in our modern world. We talk about how our culture is shaped by how men and boys are raised, how trauma affects us and what he does in his workshops. He even does a couple of his exercises on me to illustrate how he works with both men and women to improve understanding and communication.
In this episode, Dan reflects on some of those conversations, and talks about what he's learned from the show—how it's helped him recognize some not-so-healthy patterns in his own life and uncover some blind spots that he had around gender equality, even as a person who has spent years learning and speaking about it. He also looks ahead to the next year and talks about changes and improvements we're making to the show.
The Man Rules do not prepare men to navigate the rocky emotional terrain of their day-to-day lives. So, what happens when childhood sexual abuse and emotional abuse make that terrain much, much rockier than average? In most cases, it leads to men suffering in silence from profound depression, crippling anxiety, rage, addiction, and behaviors that are destructive to themselves and others. Larry Ruhl, our guest this week, was on such a path until his caring partner encouraged him to get help. His father began sexually abusing him at age 4, and he was constantly subjected to his narcissistic mother's verbal abuse, manipulation, and violent rages. Teased and berated for not being man enough; seduced and abused for his sensitivity and vulnerability. He shares his story with Dan and proves that no matter how men have suffered, or how limited they've been by The Man Rules, there is hope and there is a better way forward. Larry's story is the first to be featured in our new series of Deep Dive episodes, where we ask one man to share about his struggles in learning to live authentically in spite of The Man Rules. If you can identify with any of this story please find someone with whom you can talk and consider getting help and support. You deserve peace and you don't have to suffer alone.
Jess Pettitt is, among other things, a diversity educator. Did you just roll your eyes at that? Did you shudder at the memory of a terrible corporate diversity training you we forced to attend in the past? Did you recall a particularly hilarious episode of The Office where they brilliantly spoofed diversity trainings? Did you feel annoyed at the idea of giving the PC Police yet another platform and frustrated by the fact that you can't say anything to anyone anymore without offending them? Then, you're definitely going to want to listen to this show. Jess and Dan shine a light on how the fear of getting it wrong— whether “it” is breaking one of The Man Rules or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time to your female co-worker— prevents us from learning from one another, developing meaningful connections, and advocating for positive changes. And this is not a one-sided conversation. This is no liberals-are-awesome-and-conservatives-suck kind of deal. It is about learning how to listen to everyone. Jess also shares some great practical tips for doing the best you can with what you have some of the time, instead of striving for perfection or opting out due to pressure and frustration.
Any relationship worth its salt—whether it's with a partner, spouse, co-worker, friend, or child—is well-seasoned with conflict. “We never fight” is really just code for “We are never honest with one another.” So, don't measure your success in a relationship based on how often you fight, measure it based on how calmly and respectfully you manage to behave during a fight, and how authentically you are able to reconnect with the other person afterwards. Reconnecting after a major disagreement requires humility and vulnerability--and, God, we so resent that here at The Man Rules podcast. But, in this episode, Dan explains how you can actually get comfortable with vulnerability in spite of The Man Rules' insistence that you never feel or show vulnerability. And, he shares some great tips on how to create emotional safety for your loved ones by demonstrating that the relationship is more important to you than the rift.
For Jason MacKenzie everything was going as planned. He had a great job, a beautiful wife, two kids, a nice house, and a nice car. So, how did he one day find himself, widowed, and drinking until he passed out (again) on his couch, while his heartbroken 9-year-old daughter played on the floor alone? On this episode of The Man Rules podcast, Jason explains how he radically changed his life by stepping outside of his alpha male persona and embracing his long-hidden emotionality, sensitivity, and creativity through vulnerability. You'll learn more about his mission to help other men discover the power of emotion through his Mental Health Warriors project and hear his Practical and Tactical Tips for living a more authentic life. He and Dan also discuss the differences between the problematic use of alcohol and addiction, and paths available to recovery. Practical and Tactical Tips There is so much knowledge and wisdom to be gained through your emotions. Allow yourself to feel every single one. You don't have to let them dictate your decisions in order to learn from them. Be willing to share your story in order to help others. This doesn't mean that you have no boundaries and share anything and everything and with anyone and everyone. It means that you recognize when someone is struggling, and offer to share your story if you think it will help them. When you start to step into your emotions, you are going to create opportunities for yourself that you've never even imagined before. Learn to embrace those opportunities and to learn from disappointment and failure. Bonus: If you'd like to talk to someone about what you're going through right now, you can book a complimentary two-hour conversation with Jason at MentalHealthWarriors.com.

In this episode of The Man Rules podcast, The Deep Dive Guys (Tim Walsh, Michael Dinneen, and Dan) talk about the ways in which they felt “different” as kids, the consequences, both internal and external, that they experienced for breaking The Man Rules, and the ways in which they are striving to change the rules and make things different for their kids. What does it mean to be a “sensitive man” or a “tough girl?” How can we make sure that the gender-positive message we send our kids at home override the negative message they receive out in the world? Mentioned in This Episode Pictures of Tim's Most Recent Outdoor Adventure Anchorman, one our producer's favorite movies of all time, which was only alluded to because none of the guys could remember its name, leaving said producer trapped in a glass case of outrage and emotion.

Was 2017 the year of the woman? It certainly could be seen that way. We watched a presidential election cycle that featured the first female party nominee for president. We watched many women (and some men) come forward about their experiences with discrimination, harassment, sexual assault and abuse at the hands of some of our nation's most prominent and powerful men. We've seen women pointing out injustices from the streets of Washington, D.C. to the stage at the Golden Globes. The times are changing for sure. And, while hardly anyone would argue that these changes aren't positive, it's also true that change almost always brings with it some level of fear and uncertainty. Even the most open-minded, conscientious, and equality-loving man may wonder where all of this leaves him, and to navigate relationships with women in both his personal and professional life going forward…well, it can be quite a bit overwhelming. And confusing. In this episode, Dan and Andrea Sauceda, the Executive Producer of The Man Rules podcast, talk about their own perceptions of the progress being made toward gender equality and how men and women can bridge the gap.
Hurray for the holidays, a time of joy and wonder! You wonder why you put yourself through this shit every year and feel joy when it's finally over. BAH HUMBUG. Okay--so maybe it's not that cut and dried. What most of us feel during the holidays could most likely be described as ambivalence. There is, of course, the stress, and anxiety, and resentment and grief, but there is also the awe and the laughter and feeling of connectedness and purpose that many of us get from gift-giving, meal-preparing, and spending time with family. In this episode of The Man Rules podcast, The Deep Dive guys talk about their personal holiday trials and triumphs and share advice on how to use this time of year to recharge and connect with what matters most.

Welcome to episode 50 of the Sexology Podcast, today I am delighted to be joined by Dan Griffin, M.A., who talks to us about the meaning behind “The Man Rules”, his thoughts on recent sexual allegations that have broken in the media and the importance of context and consent in alternative sexual behaviors. Dan Griffin, M.A., is an internationally recognized author, thought leader, and expert on men's relationships and masculinity. Dan's work and life is dedicated to exploring and redefining what it means to be a man in the 21st century.

Griffin's professional background includes over two decades in the mental health and addictions field.

Dan grew up in the DC area and lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Nancy, and his daughter, Grace, and has been in long-term recovery from addiction since he graduated college in May of 1994.

This section of Daniel gives us a little information about the Antichrist.
Kim Kardashian makes millions selling herself; is this a symptom of the dumbing-down of society, or is she just gathering all the dumb people into one easily-recognizable place? Lex and Matt probe this issue along with Byron Allen's cable channel moneymaking strategy, Jamie Foxx's sexuality and his down low romance with Katie Holmes, evidence-free rape accusers like Kesha and Derrick Rose's FWB, Hillary Clinton's tribal women voters, Selena Gomez in rehab and Demi Lovato cracking up again, whether Subway is liable for not telling Jared Fogle's ex-wife that he was a creepy pedophile, and a Man Rules discussion regarding men and halloween costumes.

Number 1, as Donald "Donnie" Trump Jr. says, don't say anything, or you'll be labeled a "hater." Number 2, as Leo DiCaprio has demonstrated, you just can't be a rich playboy and a good social activist at the same time. Number 3, check out Lex Jurgen's new book, "Man Rules - The Beginner's Guide to Manhood" available on Amazon today! Wait, maybe, that should have been rule number 1 here. Anyway, Lex and Matt discuss these important issues as well as men who get nose jobs, Christian Audiger's frozen man juice, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, and the fourth-grade mentality surrounding partisan politics, the comparative importance of ass-kissing and actually being funny if you're a comedian, and is the percentage of women who have been sexually assaulted now officially 100%?

It's episode Lucky Number Sleven of the Frozen North Dinnercast, minus the awesome casting (and stunningly obvious twist). Special Guest Luke Nielson joins us on this episode--you may remember Luke as the latecomer from Episode 2. Many things are discussed, among them M.I.A., prostate cancer, and "baby meltdowns." All this is done in an overarching discussion of Man Rules, which are actually rules for women about men. Although there's one rule in there for women...it's probably a typo. At any rate, sit back and enjoy this episode, then leave a nice comment on the post at www.crosstawk.com or rate us highly on the podcast feed on iTunes.
