Podcasts about nice guy syndrome

Dr. Robert Glover is back for his second round on Heart of Man...For anyone not yet familiar with his work, Dr. Glover is a renowned therapist, speaker, and coach, and the author of the best-selling book "No More Mr. Nice Guy". Over the last four decades, he's been shedding light on what he calls Nice Guy Syndrome and has helped countless men across the globe in life, sex, and relating. In that time he has authored four books and, in 2023, founded "Integration Nation", an international community for men.After participating alongside Robert at a five-day men's retreat with John Wineland in Northern California, I invited him back for a second conversation. Since we laid the foundations in our first episode around Nice Guy Syndrome and why Nice Guys struggle in love and life, I wanted to focus this time on dating and attraction, especially given Dr. Glover's widely popular book "Dating Essentials for Men".In this conversation we specifically explore what leads women to lose attraction to “Nice Guys,” and how men can lead more powerfully in dating and keep the spark alive in their current relationships.In this interview discover:What leads men to pre-reject themselves, and how they can start saying yes to life and walk through the doors that are already open.Our experiences of being in connection with other men, doing men's work, and how this inner work impacts our relationship to women.Why Robert does not believe in “approaching” women and why he favors an attraction model for dating.What Nice Guys get wrong about dating.What leads men to hide their sexual agenda, and how to be more honest about one's intentions.Why having a pre-sex talk and creating a clear container can be valuable before engaging with any woman.Why, in Robert's words, women are “sexual Ferraris,” and men are “sexual mopeds,” and what that actually points to.What positive emotional tension is, why it matters to women, and practical ways to create it.Why the meaning of life is to get our hearts broken, and consequently, that the key to life is learning to suffer well.As I see it, this is an illuminating and practical conversation for any man ready to move beyond patterns of Nice Guy behavior in the realms of attraction and dating, so you can lead with more honest desire, grounded confidence, and real connection.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

In this conversation, Sathiya discusses the intertwined issues of corn addiction and Nice Guy Syndrome, particularly among Christian men.

Sathiya emphasizes the importance of healing these wounds and building emotional awareness as key steps towards recovery. He also shares insights from his own journey and offers practical solutions, including inner child work and forgiveness, to help individuals overcome these challenges.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters: (00:00) Understanding Corn Addiction and Nice Guy Syndrome (01:28) Exploring Nice Guy Syndrome (04:41) The Connection Between Maternal Wounds and Addictions (07:01) Healing and Solutions for Recovery

Some men can't stop trying to “save” broken women. They think it's love. They think it's noble. But it's an addiction — a way of escaping their own pain. In this episode, I read a powerful letter from a man trapped in the “White Knight” pattern and delivers some tough love on how rescuing others can destroy you, your marriage, and your peace of mind.If you've ever tried to fix someone who didn't want to be fixed, or confused pity for love, this one's going to hit home.Join the Brotherhood! https://helpformen.com/join

A lot of men direct all their anger toward the other guy — the affair partner — when they find out their wife cheated. I get it. It feels easier to hate the outsider than to face what your wife actually did. But at some point, we need to be honest about where the real responsibility lies.In this episode, I respond to a man who wrote in saying he's still furious at his wife's affair partner, years after the infidelity ended. We talk about why misplaced anger keeps men stuck, why some “nice guys” absolve their wives of all wrongdoing, and what it really takes to let go and move forward.We also get into his second question: why his wife, who cheated and moved out, still hasn't followed through with the divorce. Spoiler — she doesn't get to decide your future.If you've ever struggled with letting go after betrayal, this one's for you.Join the Brotherhood! https://helpformen.com/join

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   Most men think they watch porn because they're horny... but the truth runs much deeper.   In this powerful episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich exposes the hidden connection between Nice Guy Syndrome and porn addiction  and why so many men stay stuck in cycles of shame, avoidance, and false comfort.   You'll learn how cultural conditioning trains men to suppress their truth, perform for approval, and seek validation through pleasure instead of purpose. Porn becomes the safe escape for the Nice Guy, a place where he can feel desired without ever facing rejection, risk, or reality.   Frank breaks down how this pattern weakens masculine power, destroys intimacy, and keeps men spiritually numb  and more importantly, how to break free.   Through truth, brotherhood, and structure, you can learn to confront fear head-on, reclaim your masculine edge, and live as the man God created you to be.   Expect to Learn: Why most men don't watch porn out of lust  but out of fear   How Nice Guy Syndrome creates avoidance, passivity, and emotional disconnection   The real reason porn feels safe and why it's destroying your confidence   Why love without truth is manipulation   How reclaiming masculine aggression and integrity restores power   The role of brotherhood in lasting transformation   Why structure, discipline, and truth are the foundation of freedom   Key Takeaways: Porn isn't about desire, it's about avoiding truth and rejection   Nice Guys seek comfort over confrontation and that's what keeps them weak   False intimacy through porn leads to shame and disconnection   Masculine strength is built through truth, boundaries, and courage   Brotherhood and accountability are the antidotes to isolation   Freedom requires structure, discipline, and a clear mission   The world doesn't need more Nice Guys… it needs Rebuilt Men     Connect & Take Action Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood for a free 7-day trial and get access to live coaching, accountability, and the tools to finally break free.   ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

Men today are facing a silent crisis. Suicide rates are climbing, loneliness is at epidemic levels, and society continues to confuse men about what it truly means to be masculine. In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with men's life coach and Groups for Men co-founder McKenzie Beeby to unpack the cultural forces at play, the hidden dangers of Nice Guy Syndrome, and the tools men need to reclaim their strength, purpose, and faith.   Together, Frank and McKenzie explore the historical roots of the men's crisis, the role of shame and ego, and how distorted views of masculinity fuel brokenness in men's lives. They highlight the importance of community, vulnerability, and brotherhood and provide a roadmap for men who are ready to stop hiding and start living the life they were created for.   About McKenzie Beeby McKenzie Beeby is a life coach for men, speaker, writer, and co-founder of Groups for Men, one of the largest online support communities for men in the U.S. With a background as an entrepreneur, business owner, filmmaker, and mentor, McKenzie has dedicated his life to helping men overcome destructive cultural narratives about masculinity. His mission is to equip men to step into lives of strength, compassion, and integrity by breaking free from Nice Guy Syndrome, healing past wounds, and cultivating brotherhood.     Expect to Learn Why men today are facing the greatest identity crisis in history   The hidden costs of Nice Guy Syndrome — and how it sabotages marriages, careers, and faith How shame and ego create toxic patterns in men's lives The influence of media and cultural narratives on masculinity Why loneliness and isolation fuel addiction, anger, and despair Simple tools men can use to communicate better and live with integrity How vulnerability and brotherhood create true masculine strength The role of faith in helping men reclaim purpose and freedom Why defining success on your terms is key to becoming the man you were created to be   Key Takeaways Men are struggling with rising suicide rates and epidemic loneliness. The men's crisis has historical roots dating back to post–World War II cultural shifts. Success must be clearly defined in today's confused world. Toxic masculinity is often just shame in disguise. Brotherhood and community are non-negotiable for men's growth. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Faith is a cornerstone for true masculine identity.   Connect with McKenzie: Groups for Men - https://groupsformen.com/   Website - https://mckenziebeeby.com/   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mckenziebeeby/   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/     Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome     YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

In this episode, I'm joined by Jason Lange, men's embodiment coach and certified No More Mr. Nice Guy coach, to explore the dark side of being the so-called “nice guy.” We dive into why being kind isn't the problem, but rather the hidden patterns of people-pleasing, neglecting your own needs, and suppressing your true desires. If you've ever thought, “I'm doing everything right, so why am I still not getting the results I want in love and life?” this conversation will give you the clarity and tools you need to stop living on autopilot and start showing up with real power, presence, and connection.

In this week's Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler breaks down the truth behind the phrase “Nice Guys Never Win.” He explains how the tendency to avoid conflict, suppress needs, and chase approval leads to weak boundaries, indecision, and frustration in relationships and careers.  Ryan outlines the real costs of “nice guy syndrome” and challenges men to reclaim respect through clarity, honesty, and decisive action. He closes with five daily practices to help men stop self-betrayal and start leading with conviction. This episode is a direct, no-fluff call for men to stop playing the victim and step into responsibility.

Send us a textWhat happens when your entire identity is built around being the 'nice guy' who never rocks the boat? Harrison Saunders, host of the Growth Voyage podcast, knows this territory all too well. In this raw, illuminating conversation, Harrison reveals how a devastating wake-up call at age 19 began his journey away from people-pleasing and toward authentic living.Behind the nice guy mask often lies deep-seated shame, frustration, and a profound disconnection from one's true self. Harrison unpacks how childhood experiences—particularly his parents' divorce when he was six—shaped his people-pleasing tendencies and desperate need for external validation. "I wasn't voicing my annoyances," he explains. "I would shove it down, build resentment, and what happens with resentment is that it never leaves your body."The turning point came when Harrison recognized himself as the common denominator in his recurring relationship patterns. This crucial realization shifted him from victim mentality to creator consciousness—a transformation that changed everything. Through disciplines like Thai boxing, pro wrestling, and consistent self-development, Harrison gradually built genuine self-confidence rather than the facade he'd previously maintained.Most powerfully, Harrison shares practical strategies for breaking free from nice guy syndrome: testing boundaries in low-stakes situations, surrounding yourself with people who "call you forward," and reconnecting with your authentic self beneath the layers of conditioning. The reward? Genuine relationships, clear purpose, and the freedom of being loved for who you truly are.Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or simply want to live more authentically, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom. As Harrison puts it: "When you become proud of the person you've become, you stop looking for external approval."Support the show

This episode of Integrative You Radio dives deep into the misunderstood world of neurodegenerative diseases—especially ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick unravel the hidden connections between environmental toxins, like cyanide and algae exposure, and the emotional roots of disease, such as self-betrayal and the “Nice Guy Syndrome.” They challenge the conventional view of ALS as just a physical diagnosis, shining a light on how a lack of self-love and unexpressed truth can manifest physically. The Doctors share practical wisdom on breaking free from people-pleasing, the importance of knowing your values, and how real healing starts with radical self-awareness and communication.   #ALS #NeurodegenerativeDisease #SelfLove #IntegrativeMedicine #RootCauseHealing #PeoplePleasing #ValuesDriven #FunctionalMedicine #EmotionalHealth #SpeakYourTruth #HolisticHealth #MindBodyConnection #WellnessJourney #DrNicoleRivera #DrNickCarruthers #IntegrativeYou   3 Key Takeaways: ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases may be linked to cyanide exposure—not just from the environment but from internal sources like cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), highlighting the need for deeper diagnostic approaches. Long-term people-pleasing, self-betrayal, and putting yourself last (especially for parents and caregivers) can create profound stress and disconnection from self, which may contribute to disease. True healing begins with radical self-love, clear communication, and living in alignment with your core values—knowing who you are is the foundation for transformation.    Quotes:  “Every single aspect of disease is literally how far away from love are you? And that will equal the degree of the disease.” – Dr. Nick “If you're not going to speak up and exercise your truth, or stand for yourself, you're mentally not speaking up—and that can manifest as a physical disease.” – Dr. Nicole   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

At just 25 years old, Kijuan was thriving—building a career he loved, starting a business, and chasing his dream of becoming a pilot.

In this candid and inspiring conversation, he opens up about waking from a coma, discovering the truth about his condition, and facing the emotional and physical toll of starting over.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host and guest Dr. Robert Glover delve into the complexities of male identity, the challenges of Nice Guy Syndrome, and the importance of community in personal growth. Dr. Glover shares his journey from being a 'nice guy' to understanding the deeper issues that men face in relationships and personal development. He emphasizes the need for men to embrace vulnerability, establish boundaries, and seek support from like-minded individuals. The conversation highlights the ongoing nature of self-improvement and the significance of authentic connections in overcoming personal struggles. In this conversation, Dr. Robert Glover discusses the importance of male connection and community, emphasizing how men's groups and retreats can transform lives. He explores the concept of boundaries, reframing them as tools for leadership and deeper relationships. Through personal anecdotes and insights, he highlights the necessity of experiencing community and the profound impact it can have on personal development and emotional health. Dr. Glover also shares a life-changing near-death experience that reshaped his perspective on life and fear. Takeaways The journey of self-improvement is ongoing and never truly finished. Nice Guy Syndrome often stems from early life experiences and emotional memories. Men need to learn to be vulnerable and open about their feelings. Establishing boundaries is crucial for personal growth and healthy relationships. Community support plays a vital role in overcoming personal challenges. Men often overcorrect from being 'nice' to being overly assertive or selfish. Authenticity is key to building trust in relationships. Self-sacrificing behaviors can lead to decreased relationship satisfaction. It's important to recognize and address emotional triggers in relationships. Men benefit from learning in a supportive group environment. Men need connections to learn from their experiences. The community can provide support and accountability. Experiencing a men's group can be transformative. Boundaries are about self-empowerment, not control. The 'ouch' method helps communicate feelings effectively. Healthy boundaries invite deeper relationships. Men are wired to be part of a tribe. A near-death experience can change your outlook on life. Setting boundaries can lead to healthier interactions. Men's retreats offer invaluable experiences for growth.   Glover' s Links Website: drglover.com Books: No More Mr. Nice Guy: No More Mr. Nice Guy Dating Essentials for Men: Dating Essentials for Men Social Media: X: dr_r_glover Facebook: drrobertglover   Free eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook   ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️ https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

I'll share my personal wake-up call, the hidden beliefs that fuel this behavior, and how to break free.We'll also cover:The three biggest traps that keep men stuckThe difference between solitude and isolationHow to rebuild self-trust and take actionWhy brotherhood and accountability are essential for growthHow small shifts in language can change your storyIf you've ever felt lost, this episode will help you find your way back.Links & ResourcesNew Men's Community & GroupLearn More about The Vital Man Collective, click hereUpcoming Men's Retreats:May 17-20th, Primal Reset Retreat Collab with Tim Corcoran, Mt.

Nice Guys aren't being nice—they're being manipulative, using approval-seeking and people-pleasing as a way to control how women see them, all because they're too afraid to be rejected for who they really are.When it comes to women and men, I've come to the realization that it's insecurity that drives us to seek approval from women. It's subtle, often invisible, but it's there—this craving for validation, for someone to tell us we're enough. But here's the thing: no matter how much approval we chase, it's never going to fill the gap. It's a hollow pursuit. Real maturity, real grounding, happens when we let go of that need, when we realize that our worth isn't something that can be handed to us by someone else. It's already inside, waiting to be claimed. The moment a man stops seeking validation from women, he becomes a mature integrated man.

Tired of being the 'nice guy' but afraid of becoming a jerk? Discover how authentic masculinity transforms your relationships and ignites genuine desire. If you're a man who finds yourself constantly seeking approval or walking on eggshells in relationships, you'll learn about Nice Guy Syndrome, how to break free from people-pleasing patterns, and why authenticity is the key to better relationships. Learn why being "nice" can actually damage your intimate connections and how to develop genuine confidence without becoming a jerk. Whether you're single and struggling to connect or in a relationship feeling sexually unfulfilled, this episode has transformative insights for you.  Stop sacrificing yourself for approval - start living authentically and watch your relationships transform.

Emotional pain is unavoidable—but how you handle it determines your confidence, resilience, and overall well-being. Most “Nice Guys” have been taught to suppress their emotions, thinking that sadness, anger, or anxiety make them weak. But real strength comes from facing these feelings head-on without letting them control you. In this video, I break down how to stop fearing emotional pain and start using it as a tool for personal growth. You'll learn: Why suppressing emotions creates suffering (and how to stop) A simple technique to process feelings without overthinking them How to turn emotions like anger, sadness, and fear into productive action Why labeling emotions can make them worse—and what to do instead By the end, you'll have a clear roadmap for handling emotional pain in a way that builds confidence and self-respect, rather than keeping you stuck in Nice Guy habits.

In this episode of The LightInside, host Jeffrey Besecker delves into the concept of conditional self-worth and its impact on our relationships. He examines the subconscious and unconscious patterns that contribute to the "nice guy syndrome," exploring how early attachment wounds and covert social contracts shape our behaviors. The discussion highlights the chronic issues of over-acquiescence or ‘people-pleasing', avoidance, and emotional dependency—prompting listeners to reflect on whether these patterns serve them or lead to self-sabotage. Join us as we unravel the forces behind conditional self-worth and discover pathways to healthier social connections.Timestamps:[00:02:22] Nice guy syndrome explained.[00:05:13] Conditional love and connection.[00:07:23] Conditional love and protection.[00:10:44] Isolation and anxiety spiral.[00:13:16] Healthy acceptance of fear.[00:16:34] Childhood emotional needs and conflicts.[00:20:23] Fear and hypervigilance in relationships.[00:22:27] Vulnerability and emotional sharing.[00:27:17] Courage to be disliked.[00:29:25] Disagreeing while staying authentic.[00:32:01] Vulnerability and authentic relationships.[00:36:36] Attachment styles and nice guy syndrome.[00:39:35] Arousal misattribution and identity.[00:42:54] Healthy rejection and emotional intelligence.[00:44:31] Rejection and personal narrative.[00:48:20] Ego development and self-perception.[00:52:20] Emotional wounds and relationships.[00:56:17] Staying in emotional tension.[00:56:58] Overcoming shame through connection.[01:00:06] Reframing emotions for self-acceptance.[01:03:56] Anger as a call to action.[01:07:01] Healthy boundaries and nice guy syndrome.[01:10:18] People-pleasing and emotional dependency.JOIN US ON INSTAGRAM: @thelightinsidepodcastSUBSCRIBE: pod.link/thelightinsideCredits:Featured Guest: Jay ScottExecutive Producer: Jeffrey BeseckerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzMixing, Engineering, Production and Mastering: Aloft Media Studio

In today's episode of Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay sits down with Dr. Robert Glover. He is the renowned author of "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and a leading expert on men's issues. Dr. Glover discusses his transformation from a "nice guy" to promoting genuine masculinity. He now advocates for building healthy relationships based on authenticity. Dr. Glover's story begins with his relationship struggles. He realized that being "nice" wasn't serving him well. He shares how his second wife's ultimatum pushed him to seek help. This experience inspired him to write his groundbreaking book. As a therapist and through personal experience, Dr. Glover noticed patterns in men who were "too nice." He saw how these behaviours held them back. To address this, he developed strategies to help men break these self-defeating habits. His work now focuses on empowering men to embrace authentic masculinity. The Shadow Side of Nice Guy Syndrome Dr. Glover delves into the darker aspects of Nice Guy Syndrome. He explains that nice guys often aren't as nice as they believe themselves to be. This leads to the development of toxic masculinity over time. He explains that behind their pleasant exteriors, these men often conceal resentment. They may also display passive-aggressive behaviour. Some may even struggle with violent impulses. The root of this behaviour lies in toxic shame and anxiety developed in childhood. "Nice guys have this shame and this anxiety. And what they do, the way that it, the way there, the particular neuroses of nice guy syndrome shows up is through two ways. One, trying to become what we think other people want us to be, to be liked and loved and get our needs met. So, we're chameleons," Dr. Glover explains. Identifying Needs and Wants One of the key challenges for nice guys is recognizing and expressing their own needs and wants. Dr. Glover offers practical advice for men struggling with this issue. He advises men to start by recalling activities they enjoyed as a child. He guides them to focus on their basic needs as well as emotional needs. Men need to understand the distinction between needs and wants. By practising giving to yourself instead of always giving to others, this can be achieved. Dr. Glover emphasizes the importance of "cooperative reciprocal relationships" in meeting one's needs. He encourages men to surround themselves with people. And resources that can help them fulfil their needs and wants in a mutually beneficial way. Role of Women in Men's Development While the focus is primarily on men's growth, Dr. Glover addresses the role women can play in supporting nice guys' development. He suggests that women can offer constructive feedback when necessary. They can be supportive and reinforcing when men make efforts to change. They can work on being better listeners and more attentive to men's emotional cues. But, Dr. Glover stresses that the primary responsibility for change lies with men themselves. Future of Men's Development Dr. Glover expresses optimism about the future of men's development. He notes the increasing availability of resources and communities for men seeking growth. He envisions a new generation of men who are more conscious and open-hearted. They are powerful and fierce, yet connected. They are in touch with their dark side and are joyful and receptive in life. "We're gonna make a fucking dent in the universe. We're gonna make a difference in this world. And, I see that happening," Dr. Glover enthuses. Conclusion This episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast offers invaluable insights for men looking to overcome Nice Guy Syndrome. It offers guidance to develop healthier, more authentic relationships. Dr. Glover's decades of experience and wisdom offer hope for men struggling with these issues. He highlights the importance of taking responsibility for one's needs and wants. Men must recognize the value of cooperative reciprocal relationships. This allows the need for men to step into their role as conscious, open-hearted leaders. Dr. Glover's optimism about the future of men's development is infectious. He envisions a generation of integrated men who can make a significant positive impact on the world. As we look to the future, it's evident that the work of overcoming Nice Guy Syndrome is more relevant than ever. There is a rise in passivity among younger generations. Hence there's a growing need for resources and communities. Ones that can guide men towards a more authentic and fulfilling expression of masculinity. By seeking out supportive group therapies, men can work towards becoming more integrated. They can become authentic versions of themselves. This will benefit not only their own lives but also their relationships and the world around them. About Dr. Robert Glover Dr. Robert Glover is a renowned psychotherapist, author, and speaker.

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Robert Glover. Robert is a therapist, coach, speaker, and author of the groundbreaking book, No More Mr. Nice Guy. This is a must-read for men who struggle with expressing their needs and setting healthy boundaries without feeling guilty or shame. In our conversation, we explored how our childhood traumas set the stage for how we manage emotions and interact in our relationships and how to ditch those "covert contracts" we make with people, assuming they should read our minds and know what we want without us having to say it. Robert shares practical advice on how to set boundaries in a way that doesn't alienate others and instead draws them in. You'll also hear about the 3 covert contracts that nice guys make with themselves that cause anger and frustration. We also bonded a bit by talking openly about how we handled disagreements in our own marriages, how easily we get triggered, and how to approach these moments with love the next time. Enjoy! A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through… Early days of No More Mr. Nice Guy The toxic extremes of nice guys and jerks Identifying the two types of “nice guys” The challenge of managing boundaries & shame Three covert contracts that nice guys make The link between our nervous system and triggers  Robert's mindfulness routine for dealing with anxiety How letting go brings us closer to the answers we seek Boundaries are for me, not you Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

Those who are badass, and know there's still more to learn, together.   Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you? In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values) If you're reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you're ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.   One more thing…  Has this podcast helped you?
