    EP. 90- Dad's Don't Babysit with Nate Feathers

    It's not uncommon to men putting the majority of the parenting load on the mothers. IMO, this is one of the biggest contributors to the state of a poor mental well-being. Now, more than ever before, children need the dads everywhere to step up. That's what Nate Feathers is doing and showing other dads how to show up. Showing men around the world that dads don't babysit.

    Ep. 89 - Breaking Down Cultural Barriers with John Wang

    Ep. 89 - Breaking Down Cultural Barriers with John Wang

    Whether done intentionally or not, our environment often influences our limitations in life. In particular, cultural conditioning. This occurs in many cultures across the world. When we walk the path of personal development and mental well-being, we begin to see those limitations. In this episode, John Wang (Big Asian Energy), talks about some of those cultural barriers he has worked past. While John speaks from an Asian lens, there is much to learn from those cultures that can help us all grow individually and collectively.

    Ep. 88 - How Men CRY with Dxtr Spits

    Ep. 88 - How Men CRY with Dxtr Spits

    You don't have to look far to find a man who has an unhealthy expression of their emotions. We express anger to appear aggressive, when it's really sadness that we're experiencing. This primarily because we have been taught to suppress ourselves. We must learn to break that pattern. We must learn how to cry, in a healthy way. That's what we're here to talk about with Dxtr Spits today.

    EP. 85 - Sticks and Stones!

    EP. 85 - Sticks and Stones!

    A common phrase that gets thrown out there to help people feel better is, "Sticks and stones my break my bones, but words may never hurt me." Having been on the receiving end of it, I can assure you that it is not effective. While well-intentioned, it falls short of being supportive. In this episode, I share a speech I gave on that very phrase.
