Talking points: masculinity, culture, gratitude, anger, poetry
I donât typically get starstruck or awed in interviews, even though Iâve talked to many incredible people. But David? Well, heâs had an immense impact on my life, and so much of my work and way of thinking lives inspired by him. He joined me in Seattle and shared so much wisdom, beauty, and of course, poetry. Dig into this one.
(00:00:00) - What is the âconversational nature of realityâ, why the unknown is so uncomfortable, and the fear of âdescentâ
(00:18:44) - How the need for control kills off meaning and purpose, and how real poetry and philosophy come from NOT knowing what to say
(00:25:53) - David reads âBlessing of the Morning Lightâ
(00:32:42) - How does a man start building a relationship to the unknown parts of himself, and Davidâs relationship with his father
(00:44:24) - The role of anger and the power of poetry
(00:56:16) - On forgiveness and male friendship
(01:31:57) - How do you properly thank someone whoâs had a profound impact on you?
David Whyte is an internationally renowned poet and author, and a scintillating and moving speaker. Behind these talents lies a very physical attempt to give voice to the wellsprings of human identity, human striving and, most difficult of all, the possibilities for human happiness. He draws from hundreds of memorized poems, his own and those of other beloved poets such as Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Keats, Pablo Neruda, Fleur Adcock and the sonnets of Shakespeare. He is the author of ten books of poetry, three books of prose on the transformative nature of work; a widely-acclaimed, best-selling book of essays, and an extensive audio collection.

Talking points: masculinity, culture
Honored to have connected with the Barefoot Dutchman himself this week. In case you hadn't heard, Anton Nootenboom recently finished walking over 3100 milesâbarefootâfrom LA to NYC to support men's mental health. Yes. Barefoot. We dig into the why, the how, and Anton's core philosophies. Listen in, team.
(00:00:00) - Intro, and what the mental and emotional strain was like
(00:15:39) - Why Anton wanted to raise awareness for menâs mental health
(00:22:04) - What are men struggling with the most these days, and what needs to change
(00:37:48) - The struggle of shifting perspectives on menâs culpability and responsibility, and what to say to younger guys
(00:44:12) - Why is it important for men to do hard things?
Anton Nootenboom is a military veteran with three tours in Afghanistan. He faced severe mental health challenges afterwards, including depression and suicidal thoughts. He found healing in barefoot walking and speaking out about his experiences. Today, his journey embodies his message: men should feel empowered to seek help and talk about mental health.
The #BraveMenTalk initiative, launched in partnership with Barebarics, emphasizes that one man dies by suicide every minute globally. Antonâs walk aimed to raise critical funds and encourage men to embrace a new type of braveryâone that fights against stigma and opens up pathways for support.

Talking points: relationships, masculinity, culture
This is a question I get all the time from men. They date a woman who takes on what feels like a very masculine energy, and they're not sure how to handle that without doubling down on battles, roles, and standoffs. Here's how to build a grounded, fulfilling, satisfying partnership instead.
(00:00:00) - Intro and the reasons women adopt traditionally masculine traits
(00:08:40) - What do you do? Number one: let go of âwhoâs rightâ battles
(00:12:12) - Stop fighting for the âmasculine roleâ in the relationship
(00:16:54) - Evoke emotion

This was one of those wide-ranging convos that made me lose track of time. David and I cover a ton in this as you'll see from the timestamps, with some great info on "core energetics", personality types, and more. Dig in.
