Joshua Fineman - Healing with Men's Work (#028)

In this powerful episode, Joshua Fineman, founder of Mensch, shares his journey into facilitating men's work and the transformative power of male community. Drawing from his personal experience transitioning from running a creative agency to becoming a men's work facilitator, Joshua explains how regular gatherings of men create spaces for authentic connection, emotional expression, and personal growth.

The conversation explores the unique challenges men face in modern society, particularly around emotional expression and seeking support. Joshua describes how men's work provides a structured, intentional environment where men can "take off their armor" - whether that armor manifests as aggression and standoffishness or people-pleasing and conflict avoidance.

Through powerful examples and personal stories, Joshua illustrates how consistent participation in men's work leads to subtle but profound transformations in how men show up in their relationships, careers, and daily lives. He emphasizes that transformation isn't about dramatic changes but rather small, conscious choices that shift the trajectory of one's life "half a millimeter" at a time.
