    Work Is How Men Numb Out | Men's Therapist

    Bad breakup? A few more hours at the office. Dad's sick? Work a little more. Daniel Rubin says that isn't dedication. For most men, work is how they numb out. Peter sits down with Daniel Rubin, a licensed therapist who runs an intensive outpatient program built only for men, for his second time on the show. Recorded the day after the Men on a Mission Foundation launched, the conversation picks up where Episode 007 left off: why most men only get to therapy because a wife or a boss noticed first, why there's no one-and-done fix ("you needed like 4,000 cries since you were four"), and what happens when the one thing a man leans on gets taken away. Daniel is open about his own recovery. Peter is open about the five years he spent depressed without a name for it. They also get into retirement, why "money won't make you happy" never lands until you've had it, OnlyFans and AI girlfriends, and the 15 minutes most men refuse to spend looking at a tree. Men on a Mission is hosted by Peter Iglesias. Mental health, physical health, financial health, relationships. Full conversations, not highlight reels.

    He Was 30 Minutes From Gone | Firefighter Paramedic

    Eric was having a stroke on the gym floor and did not know it. Storm read the signs, said we're calling 911 on you right now, and made the call. His neurosurgeon later told him that another 30 minutes and he would not have made it. Peter sits down with Eric Jacobowitz, a firefighter paramedic in Broward County, an International Association of Fire Fighters peer support counselor, and a software engineer, to talk about what happened after the emergency ended. The dark stretch nobody sees. The spiral. The two month wait for a psychiatrist. And the discovery that the man everybody calls in a crisis had no idea who to call himself. Men on a Mission is hosted by Peter Iglesias. Mental health, physical health, financial health, relationships. Full conversations, not highlight reels. CHAPTERS 0:00 Meet Eric 1:10 Firefighter, peer counselor, engineer 2:22 The stroke at the gym 2:40 Thirty minutes from gone 3:28 Recovery is not the same as fine 5:13 A wife, a son, and the money math 7:03 When one salary was enough 8:41 Spiraling while holding it together 9:24 Why he could not tell his family 10:06 The mentor who started drinking 10:42 Building HeadStrong 12:51 Rub dirt on it 14:25 I was that guy 16:08 Success is not happiness 27:54 The Men on a Mission Foundation pillars 30:57 The firefighter they lost 33:19 What first responders carry home 36:46 An appointment two months out 38:06 No barrier to entry 38:33 What the app does in a crisis ABOUT THE GUEST Eric Jacobowitz is a firefighter paramedic in Broward County, Florida, an International Association of Fire Fighters peer support counselor, and a software engineer.

    Pain Doesn't Stay In The Body | Recovery Specialist

    Most men think the pain is theirs alone. It isn't. It moves into the house, and everyone in it starts living around it. Peter sits down with Josh Gordon, owner of Relax and Get Results, who worked on Peter's own recovery after spinal surgery a couple of years ago. 26 years in practice, four offices, clients ranging from UFC fighters and NFL players to people in their 90s still doing CrossFit. They get into what untreated pain does to a man's mood and then to his family, why so many men wait until they can't move, the day Josh found out what his hands could do while his mother was dying, and the real reason a lot of men actually book the hour. Men on a Mission is hosted by Peter Iglesias. Mental health, physical health, financial health, relationships. Full conversations, not highlight reels. CHAPTERS 0:00 Meet Josh Gordon 0:56 The spinal surgery that made them friends 2:48 Why he walked out of the chiropractic office 5:36 "That's not where I'm feeling it.

    The Real Reason Men Don't Open Up | Relationships Therapist

    Most men don't stay quiet because nobody told them to open up. They stay quiet because they tried it once and it cost them something. Peter sits down with Catherine Lavern Rubin, a therapist who specialises in relationships, to talk about what actually holds two people together. What both partners have to be willing to do, the gap between what you mean and what you actually say, why we hang on to pain that feels familiar, where boundaries fit in, and why therapy is almost never what men picture it to be. Men on a Mission is hosted by Peter Iglesias. Mental health, physical health, financial health, relationships. Full conversations, not highlight reels. CHAPTERS 0:00 Meet Catherine 3:06 It only works if both of you are willing 5:58 What all of us needed as kids 8:52 Knowing someone's there when it falls apart 17:28 One failure after another 20:23 Why you lose your train of thought mid-argument 26:06 The gap between what you mean and what you say 34:41 The nanny, the maths, and the guilt 37:48 Pausing long enough to remember why you're here 40:35 When being vulnerable gets used against you 53:34 Boundaries and discipline 56:02 Therapy isn't what you think it is Watch the full conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/L6VMEVp83Xs All links: https://moampod.com/links Website: https://moampod.com Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X: @moampod Contact: peter@moampod.com This podcast is a conversation, not therapy or medical advice.

    The Bullying That Doesn't Stop When You Grow Up

    Mobbing is bullying by a group, and most of the people living through it don't have a word for it. Alicia spent years as a head of marketing and communications before she walked away from a job she couldn't stay in. Around the same time she worked out her daughter was going through almost exactly the same thing at school. She now leads a movement to name it and stop it, working with employees, students and athletes, and training leaders to spot it before it does real damage. Peter had never heard the term before this conversation. It turns out to reach men, women and children, and it costs organisations far more than most leaders think. Men on a Mission is hosted by Peter Iglesias. Mental health, physical health, financial health, relationships. Full conversations, not highlight reels. CHAPTERS 0:00 Why this one isn't just for men 1:35 Meet Alicia, and the Stop the Mobbing movement 3:12 What a brand's ethos actually means 6:07 You don't have to be friends with everyone 9:07 The job she couldn't stay in 12:05 Her daughter was going through it at school 15:00 When it's the person at the top doing it 17:56 Micromanagement as a symptom 19:47 What it does to people over time 25:53 Youth sports, and the parents on the sideline 28:50 It starts with how we behave ourselves 31:49 What she tells parents 37:48 What mobbing costs a business 43:45 Why she thinks it's getting worse Watch the full conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Lu-6q4bzNEU All links: https://moampod.com/links Website: https://moampod.com Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X: @moampod Contact: peter@moampod.com This podcast is a conversation, not therapy or medical advice.

    The Doctor Who Named Text Neck | Dr. Dean Fishman

    Dr. Dean Fishman is the chiropractor who named Text Neck. He coined the term in 2009 after seeing the cervical curve of a 17 year old reversed on an X-ray, the kind of wear he was used to seeing in middle aged patients, and he went on to found the Text Neck Institute. Peter sits down with him to talk about what modern life is doing to men's bodies. Posture, joint mobility, sleep position, nutrition, why pain medication treats the wrong end of the problem, and why you can't feel any of this until a symptom finally shows up. Men on a Mission is hosted by Peter Iglesias. Mental health, physical health, financial health, relationships. Full conversations, not highlight reels. CHAPTERS 0:00 Meet Dr. Dean Fishman 3:06 Who actually walks into his office 8:50 Losing track of thoughts 14:35 What proper posture actually means 17:27 Getting older, and what you start to lose 20:22 Text neck, and what phones do to your spine 23:13 Why your joints need to move 28:56 You can't feel it until you get a symptom 37:17 Nutrition, and garbage in garbage out 43:32 Pain medication, and what he's seen 46:40 Asking why instead of treating the symptom 56:00 Sleep posture 1:02:18 Living with back pain himself Talk to your own doctor about your health.

    He Built a Treatment Program Only For Men | Daniel Rubin

    Daniel Rubin is a licensed mental health counsellor with more than 15 years in men's mental health, trauma and emotional wellness. He founded Transcend Counseling and Consulting, where he runs an intensive outpatient program built only for men. That last part is rarer than it sounds, and it is most of what this conversation is about. What changes when a man is in a room with other men who are carrying the same thing. Why the ones who look most fine are often the ones drinking a litre of scotch a night. What happens after the first two thoughts every man has walking in, which are usually how did I get here, and then, I'm okay. Peter and Daniel get into financial pressure, presence, talking to your partner, and why healing one man tends to change everyone standing near him. Men on a Mission is hosted by Peter Iglesias. Mental health, physical health, financial health, relationships. Full conversations, not highlight reels. CHAPTERS 0:00 Meet Daniel Rubin 3:20 The program, and why it's built only for men 6:30 A practice run with his wife and sister-in-law 12:50 When the pressure is financial 15:55 The moment it clicks 19:00 The men who look fine and aren't 22:05 Why it helps to see other men in the room 25:11 Where the community does the work 28:20 How did I get here, and then, I'm okay 31:25 The thankless part of the job 36:40 As he heals, so does everyone around him 43:14 Presence is the whole thing 49:48 Talking to your partner 59:47 Knowing means you can get help 1:03:02 How to reach him Watch the full conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/e8UiKQKwQig All links: https://moampod.com/links Website: https://moampod.com Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X: @moampod Contact: peter@moampod.com This podcast is a conversation, not therapy or medical advice.

    What Men Get Wrong About HRT and Peptides | Doug Scott

    Doug Scott went into a Forever Young clinic as a patient, had the labs done, found out he was deficient, and it changed enough that he ended up buying into the business. He has worked in bioidentical hormone therapy, weight loss and peptide therapy since 2017. Peter, who is a patient himself, asks him the questions most men in their 40s and 50s never get around to asking. What the labs actually show. What peptides do and don't do. Why most doctors wait for something to break instead of looking earlier. What alcohol is quietly doing on the inside. And the daily routine Doug built around sleep, training and prayer. Peter is a patient of Forever Young and has no ownership or financial interest in it. This is a personal account, not a paid promotion. Nothing here is medical advice. Talk to your own doctor before starting any hormone or peptide protocol. Men on a Mission is hosted by Peter Iglesias. Mental health, physical health, financial health, relationships.
