Talking points: archetypes, psychology, relationships
I genuinely feel this is one of the most important concepts we as men should understand. It affects a lot of us, and it definitely affected me. It definitely fits the word "complex", but it's absolutely something you can work on. So grab a notepad, dig in, and share with any man you think would benefit.
(00:00:00) - Intro, definition, and why knowing about this is useful
(00:08:09) - What causes this split?
(00:21:55) - Rounding up what kind of man is at risk of this, and where to start healing
(00:26:04) - What are you hiding, and what do you reveal
(00:32:16) - Important: have conversations

Talking points: relationships, evolutionary psychology, culture
You know it, I know it, and Michael Sartain knows it: there are a LOT of men out there facing extreme difficulty. I wanted to pick Michaelâs brain on how to help men understand why this is, but from the perspective of evolutionary psychology, and the boots-on-ground experience of a fellow coach. I appreciate Michaelâs ability to follow (and focus) the data without getting lost in reactionary antics. Listen in.
(00:00:00) - How Michael works with men
(00:13:13) - What makes evolutionary psychology such a charged subject?
(00:25:40) - Why risk is important for men
(00:31:36) - Strategies to boost your risk tolerance
(00:39:02) - The difficulty of modern male relationships, and staying neutral
(00:48:42) - Does the unwillingness to take risk impact relationships?
(00:53:23) - On status, Bonnie Blue, and what most donât get about the âbottom thirdâ of men
Michael Sartainâs journey from a studious kid in Dallas, TX, to a leading expert in high-status networking and masculine self-improvement is nothing short of transformative. He grew up in contrasting environments; a comfortable family life, but a high school marked by gangs and poverty. Michael found refuge in academia, eventually earning a BBA from UT-Austin while nurturing a passion for diverse subjects like physics and psychology. The events of September 11, 2001, ignited his patriotic spirit, propelling him into the US Air Force as a KC135 navigator, rising to the rank of captain. It was here he honed leadership skills and experienced the profound impact of true accountability and integrity.
In 2019, he founded Men Of Action, a coaching community that has transformed the lives of over 2,000 men. Through his podcasts and public appearances, Michael continues to inspire, emphasizing leadership, social dynamics, and personal growth.

Talking points: attachment, relationships, culture
I recently brought in an attachment specialist for the Alliance because a lot of men are noticing an uptick in women who are emotionally distant, avoid vulnerability, and break it off the second things get serious. There are a ton of ways to look at this, and lots of factors, but I wanted to dig in a bitâand give some insight into what YOU can do if you're dating an avoidant woman.

Talking points: attachment, marriage, trauma
Thereâs a lot of attachment content out there. I should know, I make a fair bit myself. But in my work with this weekâs anonymous guest, you can see just how complex things can get.

(00:11:21) - Who was there for you?

Talking points: culture, marketing, relationships
I consider it an achievement to have Tad on the show. He's a soulful and wise person who can cut through the BS quicklyâand do it kindly, no less. We sat down to discuss the parallels in ethically presenting your case in both the business and dating realms. You'll be surprised at how similar some aspects are!
(00:00:00) - How is dating an extension of marketing?
(00:13:24) - The meaning of âgaugingâ a potential partner, and what to look for
(00:19:57) - On sunk cost, grief, people pleasing, and our fear of risk
(00:27:17) - Is there a connection between fear of approach and polarization?
(00:34:43) - How is AI going to change how we market
(00:47:33) - What are the key implementations of ethical marketing?
Tad Hargrave is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned to be a hippy again). Since 2001, he has been weaving together strands of ethical marketing, Waldorf School education, a history in the performing arts, local culture making, anti-globalization activism, an interest in his ancestral, traditional cultures, community building and supporting local economies into his work helping people create profitable businesses that are ethically grown while restoring the beauty of the marketplace.

Talking point: dating, relationships, risk
I recently came across some work by Alexander (aka @DatePsych), where he put together some fascinating data. Turns out 45% of men between 18-25 haven't asked a woman out. Ever. What's the deal? Well, here are two of my theories, and I'd love to hear yours.

Talking points: friendship, masculinity,
Ryan Michler and I have been in the men's work biz for a long time, and we've seen the changesâsome good, some badâin how men are talked about and marketed to by our culture and by the wellness and therapy industries. We dig into the necessity of male friendship in the face of growing isolationism, the upcoming Men's Forge, and a whole lot more. Listen in, team.
(00:00:00) - Intro and why does it seem like men are having a harder time maintaining relationships?
(00:12:27) - On men needing social time and where modern therapy misses the mark
(00:17:56) - How are men contributing to their own isolation and loneliness?
(00:31:44) - On the importance of some confrontation in male friendships
(00:38:32) - Why men need brotherhood as well as challenge, and what to do if you want deeper friendships with other men
Ryan Michler is a husband, father, Iraqi Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. Ryan grew up without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has impacted society today. He believes many of the worldâs most complicated problems could be solved if men everywhere learned how to be better husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders.
It has now become his lifeâs mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. You can find him blogging and podcasting at Order of Man where he is working to help men become all they were meant to be.

Talking points: trauma, validation, mindset, relationships
Recently, I put out a call on Instagram: who wants to join me for a short, recorded Q&A. We had a TON of respondents, but I wanted to highlight four in particular that I feel are unique, but at the same time offer a window into what so many men endure.
These are everyday men from completely different walks of life, all different ages, but united in a single fact: theyâre doing the work. Iâm deeply grateful to each of them for agreeing to be on the show.
(00:00:00) - The story of S, six years sober, who struggles with people pleasing and feeling stuck
(00:16:04) - Câs struggle with internal validation and the relationship with his father
(00:35:15) - Dâs working on feeling worthy, but his relationships have never felt safe or trustworthy
(00:56:47) - P wrestles with some of the contradictions in the self-help space and past trauma

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: mindset, attraction, relationships
I was surprised at the sheer volume of basic advice there is out there on being a more attractive man. This week, we're going to go a little beyond "hit the gym" and "smoke less". How do you build your attractiveness from the inside out AND stay authentically you? Listen in.
(00:00:00) - Be untameableâsomewhat
(00:09:50) - Develop emotional sovereignty
(00:12:11) - Develop direction and discipline
(00:14:14) - Have some non-negotiables. Please.
(00:17:39) - Be unapologetically you. Note: this requires serious work on figuring out who you actually are

It's always a highlight of my life speaking with Jason. This man and his tireless work shaping comprehensive, authentic men is nothing short of inspiring. Deeply grateful to have sat down with him to dig into the nuances of his new book (out Jan 28!), the manosphere, Black America, and what modern men miss out on. Listen. To. This.

(00:17:40) - What do young men find appealing about the manosphere, in spite of the reactivity and misogyny?
(00:23:39) - Why men donât share their emotions with women, and what Jason wishes more non-Black men knew about growing up in Black America
(00:35:09) - Do men need extreme hardship in order to have self-respect?
(00:42:11) - On Jasonâs new book and being a Comprehensive Man
(00:50:25) - What aspect of a comprehensive man is missing the most in modern culture?
