    Beyond the Mask & Healing Addiction with Adam Goodman

    When a man builds his entire identity around external performance, achievement, and escaping his inner world, a crash is inevitable. For Adam Goodman, rising rapidly through the high-stakes world of corporate advertising concealed an escalating cycle of addiction, emotional numbness, and deep spiritual loneliness. In this episode of 13 Minutes, Dr. Baruch "B" HaLevi sits down with Adam Goodman, co-founder of Vision Fire. Together, they explore surviving the "wrecking ball" of hitting rock bottom, the profound shift from fixing problems to simply being heard, learning to sit with fear rather than running from it, and building intentional male communities where men can drop the mask and come home to themselves. In this episode, we explore:• The Performance Trap: How relying on external accolades and corporate status leads to deep internal emptiness and emotional disconnect.• Surviving the Wrecking Ball: Confronting the painful consequences of addiction and losing everything before discovering authentic self-worth.• Breaking the Fixer Default: Moving past the urge to give unsolicited advice and learning to hold intentional, sacred space for other men.• Sitting with Fear: Why fear does not need to be conquered or outrun, but rather held, felt, and integrated without judgment.• Vision Fire & Sacred Brotherhood: The transformative power of men's circles, deep relational intimacy, and intentional plant medicine integration in Peru.

    Surviving Tragic Loss & Developing Emotional Flexibility with Dr. John Schinnerer

    What happens when the masculine identity that helped a man succeed becomes the exact thing that isolates and traps him? In a society that expects men to "fix" rather than feel, discovering true emotional flexibility and self-awareness is an ongoing battle. In this special joint episode of 13 Minutes and The Evolved Caveman, Dr. Baruch "B" HaLevi sits down with Dr. John Schinnerer, an expert in men’s mental health, grief, and emotional mastery. Together, they confront the restrictive "Man Box," share deeply personal stories of tragic family loss, and explore how men can evolve past their default programming to find profound meaning and purpose. In this episode, we explore:• Breaking the Man Box: How the restrictive rules of traditional masculinity keep men isolated, angry, and unable to connect in their relationships.• Tragedy to Triumph: B and John share their deeply personal experiences surviving the tragic loss of family members and how they consciously chose meaning over despair.• Radical Acceptance & Flexibility: Why replacing "but" with "and" can help men sit with discomfort rather than defaulting to the "fixer" role.• Interoception & Emotion: Understanding the mind-body connection and learning to recognize physical sensations before reacting with anger.• The Future of Mental Health: How Dr. John Schinnerer is using AI to create hybrid coaching tools (Proximity Coaching) to give men access to support in the exact moments they need it most.

    Breaking the Silence: Mental Health & Leadership in Construction with Burr Cota

    Construction is one of the highest-pressure industries in the world, and it carries a tragic, silent epidemic: construction workers are 500% more likely to die by suicide than from a job site accident. Yet, the old school culture of "I don't have time to bleed" has kept men isolated, overworked, and suffering in silence for far too long. In this episode of 13 Minutes, Dr. Baruch "B" HaLevi sits down with executive coach, Vistage Chair, and founder of Polaris Principles, Burr Cota. Drawing from his own turbulent childhood and over 14 years working directly with construction leaders, Burr shares how authentic vulnerability, psychological safety, and regular one-on-one connections can change the culture and save lives. In this episode, we explore:• The Construction Mental Health Crisis: Confronting the staggering statistics behind why construction leads the nation in male suicide and substance abuse.• From Survival to Self-Discovery: How surviving domestic turmoil as a child and reading Viktor Frankl at 19 reshaped Burr's life and purpose.• Psychological vs. Physical Safety: Why investing in emotional trust on job sites is just as critical as hard hats and fall protection.• Developing the Whole Person: Why companies must support the husband, father, and man outside the office to build resilient leaders inside it.• The Antidote to Isolation: The power of peer advisory groups like Vistage in breaking executive loneliness and walking each other through crises.
