Some of the topics we cover in this episode are:

- Being pursued versus pursuing
- The narratives we construct around rejection

By sharing personal stories, we confront the harsh realities of shame and insecurity that often accompanies rejection.
With empathy and insight, this episode offers listeners a roadmap for navigating the fearful terrain of rejection by offering powerful reframes and new perspectives to face your fears head-on and reclaim your power in the face of rejection. -

Why insincerity thrives in social media
How do you define authenticity?

Avis
Love yall + feedback
Matt and Michael: I so appreciate your vulnerability and ability to deeply connect with your community. The experiences you’ve shared are so relatable and needed from a healing perspective. Reno: the light you add to the show is great. However, I feel like your “light” sometimes presents as fluff—especially when you’re often omitting your shadows. For example: imagine someone with low self-esteem is trying to heal so they tune into the “how to feel sexy” episode. Do you think they would want to hear 20 minutes of you talking about how sexy and confident you are? I challenge you to look deeper at + share your shadows…that’s sexy.
Wonderful show - love it
Thank you guys for this show. I love that it covers such a wide range of topics, but always ties it back to gay men. There’s room for other identities, etc. but the main audience is clear. Also, I appreciate that the hosts are consistent overtime about maintaining certain values and commitments in how and what they talk about. For example, if the topic goes to sex, there’s no cheap ‘bottom shaming’ joke thrown in just for laughs. It isn’t all super serious, there are lite moments (and maybe we could use a few more light hearted episodes mixed in), but I appreciate that there’s some level of professionalism and consistency with those values like acceptance. Thanks for the show, and I hope you keep producing episodes for a long time coming!
pseudo intellectuals
The hosts often talk in circles, specifically reno & the hosts almost never ask for clarity. the egos here are massive, yet they’d like you to believe otherwise. the body shaming episode is so ironic, one of the hosts opens it with praising the other hosts body & then they discuss not putting certain figures on a pedestal.. i mean come on. the addiction & recovery episodes are blatantly irresponsible, i cannot believe some of the things that came out of the addiction counselors mouth. these peoples ego is front & center but they are seemingly unaware of it. it’s obvious by their titles as “life coaches” that they truly see themselves as an authority on how to live, yet they themselves admit that they cannot maintain their own sobriety. do better.
