Cowardice is killing men—not with bullets or blades, but with daily compromises. Every time we choose comfort over courage, we surrender part of our soul. In this episode of Manlihood, Josh Hatcher challenges men to stop avoiding responsibility and to live with boldness, truth, and conviction.

A landmark report released this week has found Australian boys are feeling pressure to follow restrictive ideas about masculinity - and when they do - they are more likely to hurt themselves and others. Advocates have used a National Press Club address to call for urgent government reform, including a national action plan to improve young people's wellbeing and reduce violence.

Episode 210 - Talking to Sons About Masculinity and Healthy ManhoodPillar 1: Redefining MasculinityKey Talking Points:Reflection on what “being a man” meant in your generation — toughness, stoicism, protection — and how that definition is shifting.Explores the myths of “boys don't cry” and why they hold men back.Tell their sons: “You don't have to be perfect, just be real.”“So once we start redefining what masculinity looks like, the real work is helping our sons understand what's going on in their hearts — and how to talk about it.”Pillar 2: Building Emotional IntelligenceKey Talking Points:Normalizing emotional literacy — teaching sons to name and express feelings.Talk side-by-side (in the car, on a walk, playing catch).Ask open-ended questions: “What made you proud today?” or “Was there anything that bugged you this week?”Use your own emotions as examples: “I got frustrated today, and here's how I handled it.”Reinforce that emotional awareness builds real confidence and leadership.“Emotional intelligence is key, but how we treat others — especially in the world our sons are growing up in — is another huge piece of healthy manhood.”Pillar 3: Modeling Respect and EqualityKey Talking Points:Discussed how respect is the foundation of modern masculinity — in friendships, dating, family, and online interactions.Talked about modeling respect at home — how you treat your partner, your own parents, waitstaff, coworkers, etc.Shared how to handle “boys being boys” moments — correcting gently and teaching instead of shaming.“As dads, one of the biggest lessons we can pass down is that asking for help, showing emotion, and caring for others doesn't make us weak — it makes us human.”Pillar 4: Mental Health, Vulnerability, and CommunityKey Talking Points:Addressed mental health as an everyday part of manhood conversations.Talked about the power of community — encouraging sons (and dads) to find supportive male friendships.Highlighted Movember's initiatives and how listeners can get involved: grow a mustache, host a “Dad Chat,” or donate to men's mental health programs.A Dad Space Challenge:take the week's Dad Space Challenge:Have one honest 10-minute conversation with your son about what being a man means — and listen more than you talk.Bonus: write down three traits you want your son to carry into adulthood and share them with him.https://allprodad.com/podcast/Episode mentioned: Should Dads Be Worried About the Manosphere?https://pod.link/1718772295/episode/QnV6enNwcm91dC0xNzgwODA0MAhttps://movember.com/___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

Arguing in a relationship can be a misguided attempt to get attention, and a more secure approach is to openly express the need for connection rather than provoking conflict. Arguing can be a way to get attention, even if it's negative, rather than feeling disconnected and ignored. Acknowledging sabotaging behavior, even to your partner, is a crucial step towards authenticity and trust in a relationship. Arguing to get attention can sabotage a relationship, so it's better to be authentic and find healthier ways to express anxiety or needs.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable.

Something powerful happens when thousands of men leave comfort behind and unite in pursuit of God. Just under a week after attending his first MAN CAMP, Jim Burgen joins Brian on The Aggressive Life to talk about his experience—from speaking under the big tent, to conversations outside MASH, to why MAN CAMP gives him hope that masculinity is good and getting better. Jim also shares what it means to age aggressively, why it's important to keep doing new things, and what it takes to be a man who refuses to coast. From elk hunts, to hard workouts, to spiritual warfare, this is a no-holds-barred conversation about becoming the kind of man the world needs.  Learn more about MAN CAMP at www.mancamp.us  Watch this week's episode on YouTube here.

Scott Galloway has spent the last few years ringing the alarm about how boys and young men are falling behind. Galloway, a marketing professor at New York University, best-selling author, and Kara's ‘Pivot' co-host, says his concern stems from the fact that he can relate to their problems. As a young boy raised by a single mom, Scott struggled in school, didn't have many friends, and barely got into college. But he went on to found several successful marketing firms, make millions, and raise two sons of his own. He shares his story — and his own advice on how to be a good man — in his new book, “Notes on Being a Man.” Kara and Scott talk about how the Trump campaign was able to win over young men with its regressive version of masculinity, why he thinks we need to re-embrace young men's horniness, and why more men need to step up as mentors. They also talk about Scott's difficult relationship with his late father, and the ways he's trying to be a better father to his sons.  Check out our sponsor Smartsheet here! Questions? Comments?

If you've ever found yourself second-guessing your instincts, replaying that conversation (again), or holding back because of that relentless self-doubt, you're definitely not alone. We'll get brutally honest about where self-doubt comes from, why it sticks around, and how you can finally break its grip and reclaim your personal power.Get ready for candid stories about the internal wars men fight every day, actionable strategies for smashing self-doubt, and a few laughs at the absurd stuff our brains conjure up when no one's watching. Expect practical takeaways, surprising insights into men's mental health, and tools you can use to step out of the self-doubt shadow—starting right now.

Ever felt that slow-burn anxiety when the headlines say “shutdown,” but the real story is families missing checks and plans falling apart? We crack open why these standoffs happen, how add-ons and brinkmanship stall basic governance, and what it means when the fallout hits the people least able to absorb it. Then we do what we do best: veer into the messy middle where culture meets everyday life.Cigar etiquette turns into a bigger conversation about consent in shared spaces. A simple question—what kind of man do most women prefer—pulls us into modern expectations around provision, safety, ambition, and partnership. We weigh “traditional masculinity” against two-income realities, swap stories about cooking and caregiving, and admit that making someone feel secure and respected still matters more than labels. We even argue over flip-flops, short shorts, and the quiet politics of what you wear.We're not afraid to pivot. We marvel at Shohei Ohtani, debate the value of a White House ballroom, and dream up our own additions that would actually host the world well. The gloves come back on for tougher topics: drug-running boats getting blown out of the water, cleaning up cities, and why some leaders say no to help when public safety is on the line. Through it all, we keep it honest—reading a listener's sharp critique on-air and showing how strong opinions can coexist with real respect.If you're here for clear takes, human moments, and conversations that stretch from kitchen-table life to national stakes, you're in the right place.

It started as a conversation about courage — but it became a raw diagnosis of what's broken in our culture.When Dr. May and Dr. Tim sat down with psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald, they expected a discussion on mental health. What unfolded was something far deeper: a fearless exploration of what happens when men stop leading, when women are told to reject their nature, and when medicine trades truth for comfort. Dr. McDonald doesn't tiptoe around hard topics — he calls out the collapse of courage in every corner of society and invites us to do the one thing that still heals: act.ABOUT THE GUESTDr. Mark McDonald is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in child and adolescent mental health. Based in Los Angeles, he is the author of United States of Fear and Freedom From Fear, host of the Dissident MD Substack, and co-host of the Informed Dissent podcast. Dr. McDonald is known for his fearless commentary on the psychological fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, the collapse of courage in medicine, and the cultural consequences of abandoning moral truth.

Height is something you (mostly) can't change, and yet it's one of the most contentious dating preferences - we're lying about it on the apps, rejecting lovers if they don't measure up and even turning it into a full-blown personality trait. In this episode with special cohost Blake Pavey, we're unpacking how height is affecting your love life, where this tall tale of height superiority is coming from and whether it's as big a dealbreaker as society would like us to think.DM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: thehookup@abc.net.auThe Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j.

A thirteen-year-old can now decide who sees their records in many states, and too often that means dad gets locked out. We pull back the curtain on how policy, portals, and a feelings-first mindset are reshaping family dynamics in clinics, counseling rooms, and courtrooms—and why active father involvement remains one of the strongest predictors of a child's long-term wellbeing.Join our Signal Channel: https://shorturl.at/8yqTbJoin The Divorce Dadvocate Membership Community - FULL Episodes - Live Meetings – FREE Workshops & Courses – Private Discussion Groups & MORE! - https://thedivorceddadvocate.com/membership-tiers/How Are You Adjusting To Your Divorce?

Naveed and Luis connect over their work in the 6 month Embodied Masculinity Slow Group, a vulnerable, male only, space. Often boys traverse the transition of puberty in isolation, taught only by porn. After a lifetime of objectification from porn use it's common for men to have dissociative relationships with their penises and masculinity. The slow group provides a counter vortex from the isolation to experience a second puberty, together, in community. So many of us were raised by overworked men with little time or capacity to connect emotionally, leaving many of us feeling abandoned by the masculine. A beautiful antidote is to feel into that abandonment and not abandon oneself in those emotions. Join us to tend to all of these topics, and more, in a cathartic six month brotherhood.  How do you redirect to connect instead of isolating with porn?

As part of our Movember Men's Health Initiative, we speak with Luke Andresen, co-owner of The Collective in Benton Harbor, Michigan. We talk about the unique challenges men face when it comes to physical, mental, and emotional well-being. From breaking down stigmas to building sustainable habits, Luke's approach is all about empowering men to take ownership of their health in a way that's authentic, accessible, and deeply transformative. For more information, be sure to visit our show notes at www.consciousmichiana.org.

For this Movember spotlight, we sit with Prince Roc—spiritual healer and professional cuddler—to explore what it really means to care for men's health. From emotional vulnerability to the power of platonic touch, this conversation is a heart-centered dive into healing, masculinity, and the magic of being held. This soulful take on Movember might just change how you see men's wellness

Why is it hard to have the connection and intimacy that you want in your relationship? Most of us are never taught how to understand creating intimate connections with other people. We often approach things with urgency or from a place of frustration and a desperate need to fix it NOW! In this episode I talk about the coaching we do with men using horses to teach them how to become masterful in removing the blockages that keep people resisting coming closer towards you, trusting you and yes wanting to be physical with you. Check out the incredible Confident Man Ranch Retreat happening on October 8-11, 2023 in Loveland, Colorado! https://mojopolis.com/ranch/In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first.

In this episode, I dive into one of the hardest truths many men face after becoming fathers: the woman you married may not be the same woman after the baby arrives.For a lot of men—especially the more sensitive or anxiously attached ones—this change feels like emotional whiplash. The affection disappears, the intimacy vanishes, and suddenly you feel like a stranger in your own home. I read and discuss a real Reddit post from a man who experienced this after 20 years of marriage... and what his story reveals about millions of couples worldwide.We'll talk about:Why this shift happens biologically and emotionallyThe reality of “Wife 1.0” vs. “Wife 2.0”How men can respond without falling into resentment or despairWhat to do when your wife refuses counseling or intimacyHow anxious attachment can make this pain even worseAnd why community and brotherhood are vital for recoveryThis is a brutally honest but deeply empathetic look at one of the most misunderstood transitions in modern marriage.

  Once we were young. Now, we're old. Okay, older. Being older is good. Often, it's great! She was always gorgeous. I was always smitten. Madly in love. The love affair began on Wednesday night, July 2, 1975. During a church camp meeting in Oklahoma. I asked her out on a date following church services that night. She said yes. That orange car in the picture was our chariot. We drove around a bit. Talked a lot. Probably went to a Dairy Queen for soft drinks. I can't remember. Eventually, I kissed her. She kissed me back. And it was all so easy. The conversation. The being together. The kissing. But I'm ahead of myself. First, there was her reputation. And my respect for her. She was known for being determined to remain faithful to her convictions. We shared faith. The Faith. She was smart, dedicated, disciplined, and intentional. The oldest of six kids. It was evident. It was among the top reasons I asked her out. She was beautiful, but that was bonus content. ;) I hadn't been in love like this before. Ever. This was different, and I knew it from the very first date. Becoming a Christian was my best decision. Falling in love with her was my second best. She's only ever taken a backseat to God. Eighteen-year-old me would have denied ever being able to fall harder for her. But he'd have been wrong. Did I always behave like it? Nope. To my shame. But that was primarily due to my immaturity and selfishness. Two problems I've experienced and that I often see in the lives of other men, too. I'm not saying it's a uniquely male weakness, but I'm a guy and it was mine. She's not perfect. But she's pretty ideal for me. I'm not perfect. But I'm pretty ideal for her. It's our story. My story. But let's not make this entirely about me, or her, or us. Two ideas have been swirling in my head for as long as I can remember. One, my daily, if not hourly, fascination with her. True confession: I think of her every waking hour. And I always have. Sounds like an obsession, huh? Well, it likely is. But in a good way. It's why many times a day I approach her, seemingly out of the blue (I'm sure that's what she thinks), and hug her because I've been thinking of her a lot before I literally have to hug it out. I'm high-maintenance like that. Two, sadness that too many marriages fail because of selfishness and pride. Mostly, I think of my own selfishness and pride because I know those are ingredients for failure for each of us. Read your New Testament, and you'll see it more clearly — especially in yourself. This is about us - all of us. Yes, it's about those of us who are married. And it's about those of us who aren't. Because love, fascination, selfishness, and pride are both universal and individual. Masculinity seemed all but gone until we got a new President in America. The shift back toward things our country once cherished and away from the idiocy that overtook us starting in 2009 or so has given many of us hope that men can get back to being men and women can return to their glorified place of being women. Love, pride (not the selfish kind, but the honorable kind), commitment, honor, loyalty, and merit. Those were once givens in our society. They eroded in the past couple of decades because we allowed ourselves to be manipulated away from the things we knew to be true and correct. Now, we're seeing how bitter, hateful, and outraged the opponents to truth and right can be. But love and right are worth standing up for, and idiocy deserves to be fought vigorously. Without shame or embarrassment. I make no apologies for being a Christian. I make no apologies for being married to the same woman for almost 47 years. I make no apologies for confessing that we were both virgins when we married. I make no apologies that - because of my faith - I choose not to drink alcohol, gamble, or be promiscuous. I don't care that others have made fun of my stance against...

  In this episode of The Better Sex Podcast, I talk with psychologist and author Dr. Eric Fitz Medrude about what it really means to be "a better man." Together, we explore how cultural conditioning, shame, and lack of real education have left so many men confused about sex, masculinity, and intimacy. Eric shares how his Catholic upbringing and family's unusually frank conversations about sex shaped his perspective, and how those early experiences inspired his book, The Better Man. We dive into common myths about porn, testosterone, and what men are "supposed" to want—and how those beliefs often block real connection and pleasure. Along the way, Eric opens up about the importance of platonic touch, the emotional cost of living inside "the man box," and what it takes to build relationships rooted in honesty and consent. We also talk about resentment, boundaries, and the hard truth that being a better lover starts with being a better human.

Modern culture tells men to be softer, safer, and more sensitive—until we lose respect for the very men who listen. In this episode of Shane's Diary, I share my personal journey of reclaiming my masculinity after years of suppressing it to be “good.” From growing up under the shadow of a hyper-religious mother who called every masculine impulse sinful, to living with a father who embodied its most toxic extremes—I learned to distrust my own nature. When I found spirituality, I thought peace meant weakness and gentleness meant goodness. I became the “nice guy.” I lost my fire. And it almost cost me my marriage. This is the story of how I got it back. Of what it really means to be a conscious man in a world that tells men to be more like women. And why reclaiming your masculine power isn't dangerous—it's divine.

Episode Summary: Something surprising is happening in churches across the West: young men are coming back! Not for hype or entertainment, but for meaning, mission, belonging, and direction. Are our churches ready to meet this incredible moment?In this episode, we're joined by author and professor Dr. Nancy Pearcey to unpack the deeper ideas shaping this cultural “vibe shift.” Together, we explore why the church's sacred-secular split has failed men's discipleship, how the manosphere fills the vacuum, and what it takes to move from momentary revival to lasting reformation!We also trace how family formation sits at the heart of cultural renewal. From marriage and parenting to workplace rhythms that keep fathers present, we discuss practical ways to re-enthrone the family and recover a whole-life gospel that forms men and women as equal image bearers with distinct gifts.If you've sensed the shift but wondered what to do next, this conversation maps a path toward renewal: dethrone the marketplace, re-enthrone marriage and the family, and rebuild culture from the home outward.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

Kaedrich Olsen is an author, speaker, and spiritual guide specializing in Norse mysticism and runic wisdom. For more than three decades, he has taught how the runes function as living intelligences, gateways for transmuting shadow, awakening the higher mind, and aligning with the powers of gods and ancestors. His lifelong path weaves together Norse studies, paranormal exploration, and shadow work. Raised in a haunted home and trained in séance and channeling, Kaedrich developed an early communion with advanced beings known as the Whisperers, granting him rare insight into the afterlife and the energetic interplay of the unseen. This foundation allows him to guide seekers through shadow work, spirit communication, and ancestral practices with both sacred depth and practical clarity. He is the author of Runes for Transformation (Red Wheel/Weiser) and has been featured on Gaia's Beyond Belief, Open Minds, Deep Space, and AncientCivilizations, the Paraflixx Network, and leading podcasts including Aubrey Marcus, Paul Chek, Jimmy Church, and Patty Negri. Kaedrich's work invites seekers to step into the mythic current of their lives—living the wisdom of the runes, reclaiming power from the shadows, and walking in authenticity under the guidance of gods and ancestors.

In this conversation, I'm joined by mathematician, meditator, and machine learning engineer Blake Hull. We share stories of therapy, meditation, and Ram Dass, opening up after years of staying in the head, we unravel ideas of masculinity, expand on vulnerability, and dissect what it means to become safe in our own skin. We talk about anger as sacred energy, the strange geometry of emotion, and the daily ritual of saying “Good morning, Blakey Boy” - a quiet reminder that to heal isn't to change, it's to remember who you already are. This is a fluid dialogue that drifts through psychedelics, softness, the mathematics of love, friendship, wisdom - it's an episode that invites you to slow down, breathe, and feel something true. Together, The Great and Wonderful Blake Hull and I explore the space between intellect, emotion, and becoming what we are - I hope you'll join us.Themes: therapy · masculinity · meditation · Ram Dass · psychedelics · inner-child · emotional intelligence · spiritual growthNotable quotes from the episode:“When intellect finally kneels to emotion, that's when growth begins.” - Blake, describing the moment logic yields to honesty.“Emotions are information. You'd be stupid to ignore them.” - Blake quoting a college professor who first reframed feeling as intelligence.“When Jesus flipped tables, that was dharmic anger — anger in service of love.” - Jacob, reframing anger as sacred energy rather than chaos.“I feel most connected with you when you're feeling.”- Blake recounting a moment in therapy that changed his understanding of connection and vulnerability.“Maybe consciousness has always been doing this — reflecting itself through whatever new medium we invent.” - Jacob, near the close, connecting AI, identity, and awareness.“Anger isn't the problem. It's what happens when we stop letting it teach us.” - Blake, redefining emotional intelligence through presence.TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 – Intro: Setting up, laughter, first exchange, Blake's Bio00:02:15 – “I feel most connected when you're feeling” – therapy and awareness00:05:00 – Logic vs emotion: learning how to feel again00:07:25 – Emotional intelligence and inner safety00:10:45 – Anger as sacred energy (“dharmic anger”)00:12:10 – Modern society, Idiocracy, and humor as medicine00:15:23 – Aldous Huxley, psychedelics, and self-reflection00:16:09 – Paul Stamets, microdosing, and consciousness00:20:00 – Mushrooms, meditation, and integration00:26:00 – Masculinity and vulnerability00:31:00 – Meditation: honesty over peace00:36:03 – “Good morning, Blakey Boy” – the inner-child ritual00:40:03 – Ego, death, and Ram Dass on becoming somebody00:45:00 – Comic relief: fart jokes and humility00:50:00 – Math and metaphysics: when numbers become poetry00:58:48 – Math as beauty and the language of existence01:00:26 – Group theory, triangles, and the philosophy of structure01:02:06 – Did humans discover or invent math?01:10:00 – Humor, curiosity, and teaching through questions01:13:34 – The future of math, AI, and physics (the long view)01:14:13 – Ray Kurzweil and his father's digital journals01:15:15 – iPhone, exponential tech, and AI acceleration01:16:00 – Touchscreens, prediction, and futurism01:20:00 – Consciousness and machine learning01:30:00 – Human identity in the age of algorithms01:37:01 – AI anxiety, UBI, and the ethics of automation01:43:56 – Consciousness itself: What is it, really?02:00:00 – Journaling, memory, and the desire to preserve the self02:14:00 – Humor as grounding: “Even the enlightened still fart.”02:20:00 – Compassion as technology02:31:04 – Returning to therapy: “I feel most connected when you're feeling.”02:40:00 – Closing reflections, gratitude, and quiet laughter#JunkyardLovePodcast #BlakeHull #EmotionalIntelligence #Masculinity #Mindfulness #Meditation #InnerChild #TherapyForMen #ModernSpirituality #AIConsciousness #MachineLearning #SelfAwareness #PodcastEpisode #ListenNowHit subscribe for new episodes, we'll see ya next time.
