    #40 Redefining Masculinity: A Deep Dive into Gender, Justice, and Personal Narratives with George, The Tin Men
    May 2 2024
    George @thetinmen and I had a great chat on the podcast, taking a deep dive into male mental health and society's blind spots. In this episode, we navigate some of the complexities of male mental health, societal expectations, and the pressing need for a balanced conversation on gender dynamics. From the misunderstood narratives of male body image to the legal inequities faced by men and boys, we uncover the stories that seldom make the headlines. I really hope you choose to listen and be part of a conversation that challenges the norm and sheds light on the often unspoken and ugly discussions.

  • #35 Demystifying Coaching: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly with Stu Graham

    #35 Demystifying Coaching: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly with Stu Graham
    Jan 19 2024

    Stu and I delve into the various aspects of coaching and the fitness industry in this episode. 


    We debate the problems we see arising from dysfunctional dynamics in the pursuit of self-improvement and how the hyper-focus on self-development and "biohacking" protocols can lead to alienation, loneliness, and disconnection. 


    It ended up being more of a coaching podcast than intended, but we share some different approaches to coaching, the importance of maintaining client autonomy, and the potential pitfalls of avoidance in the pursuit of enlightenment.
