    Wives, Submit To Your Husbands? | Ep. 060 | The Mens Collective

    WIVES, SUBMIT TO YOUR HUSBANDS? It’s one of the most controversial questions in modern relationships. In this episode of The Men’s Collective Podcast, Wayno, Mikie and Stevo are joined by good friend of the show Kylie from The Feminine Connection for a raw conversation about marriage, leadership and respect between men and women. Is submission about control, or about trust? Are modern relationships losing something by rejecting traditional roles, or are we simply redefining them? No safe answers, no sugar coating, just real talk about masculinity, femininity and what it actually takes to build a strong relationship today.

    Can Men Ever Be Content? | The Mens Collective | Ep. 057

    Can Men Ever Be Content? In this episode of The Mens Collective Podcast, Wayno, Mikie and Stevo sit down for a raw, honest conversation about something most men feel but rarely admit, the quiet restlessness that never seems to switch off. We build.We chase.We provide.We achieve…. But is it ever enough? This episode unpacks the pressure men carry to constantly level up, earn more, be stronger, stay driven, and never settle. We question whether contentment is weakness or wisdom. Whether peace kills ambition or sharpens it. Whether the hunger that fuels us is building our lives… or quietly stealing our joy. This is not a soft conversation about “just be grateful.”It is a confronting look at identity, purpose, ego, comparison and the tension between drive and peace. If you have ever hit a milestone and still felt unsettled…If you have ever wondered why success does not quiet the noise…If you are chasing something but cannot define what “enough” looks like… This one is for you. Real men. Real talk. No performance. Press play and ask yourself the question most men avoid…Can we ever truly be content?

    Expectations | The Weight You Carry, The Pressure You Create | The Mens Collective | Ep. 056

    Most relationships do not collapse from betrayal, they erode under silent expectations, and that same pattern shows up in work, fatherhood, friendships and self worth.In this episode, Wayno, Mikie and Stevo unpack the pressure men live under and the pressure they quietly place on others, to provide more, be more, and never fall short.Expectation shapes behaviour and respect, when it is unspoken it becomes resentment, when it is unrealistic it becomes frustration.This conversation challenges men to define the standards they are chasing and the ones they are enforcing, because sometimes the real pressure in your life is a silent standard you never clearly chose.Episode SegmentsAsk Us Anything1/ “How do you know when to quit? I was raised to never quit, but when something clearly isn’t working, is staying just pride? Where’s the line?”2/ “How do you handle getting older? Energy dips, recovery’s slower, you’re not 25 anymore. How do you adjust without feeling like you’re declining?”The Week That WasBBQ’s Galore has collapsed.Penny Wong / Tyron Whitten – ‘Office for Men?’Angus Taylor new Libby leader.Joe MomentTony Rogers furniture boss throws chair at mate outside strip club.Man Vs MachineBecoming a better man always comes with a cost… what price is too expensive to pay?Watch and Listen🎧 Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/25atM2T...🍎 Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...📺 YouTube:/ @averagejoesmenscollectiveJoin the Movement👉 https://averagejoes.net.auExplore merch, local meetups, and exclusive content designed to help men rise, grow, and lead with purpose.Follow Us📲 Instagram:/ averagejoesmenscollective📘 Facebook:/ averagejoesmenscollective⚠️ Please Note:The views expressed in this episode are those of the hosts and guests, not any organisation.

    Is Holding On Holding You Back? | The Mens Collective | Ep. 055

    Is Holding On Holding You Back?Most men don’t stay stuck because they lack effort.They stay stuck because they refuse to let go.Most men think growth comes from doing more.More effort. More discipline. More hours. More conversations. More pressure.But what if the real reason your marriage feels flat, your parenting feels chaotic, your business feels heavy, or your health keeps slipping…isn’t because you’re not doing enough?What if it’s because you’re holding onto the wrong things?In this episode of The Men’s Collective Podcast, Wayno and the Average Joes have a raw, confronting conversation about the cost of holding on.We unpack why adding more rarely fixes the problem, and why real progress often starts with subtraction.We dive into:Why more communication won’t save a marriage if resentment stays unspokenHow distraction and avoidance quietly kill intimacy and connectionThe parenting habits that feel loving but actually weaken leadershipWhy busyness in business is often a mask for avoiding the work that mattersHow health collapses through habits men keep justifying as harmlessThis is not a motivational episode, it’s a mirror.If you feel busy but stuck.If something in your life feels off and you can’t quite name it.This conversation will hit close to home.Because growth doesn’t usually ask for more effort,it asks for the courage to remove what no longer belongs.Listen in if you’re ready to stop adding and start leading your life properly.Watch and Listen🎧 Spotify:[https://open.spotify.com/show/25atM2T...]🍎 Apple Podcasts:[https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...]📺 YouTube:[ / @averagejoesmenscollective ]---Join the Movement👉 [https://averagejoes.net.au](https://averagejoes.net.au)Explore merch, local meetups, and exclusive content designed to help men rise, grow, and lead with purpose.---Follow Us📲 Instagram:[ / averagejoesmenscollective ]📘 Facebook:[ / averagejoesmenscollective ]---⚠️ Please Note:The views expressed in this episode are those of the hosts and guests, not any organisation.

    Your Best Year Yet - Goal Setting For 2026 | The Mens Collective | Ep. 054

    Each bloke needs to set goals.No excuses. In this episode, Your Best Year Yet, Wayno sits down with the whole crew to kick off 2026 with intent. Joined by Mikie, Jamie, Chrisso and Stevo, the fellas have a raw and honest conversation about why most men stay busy but stuck, and what actually changes when a man decides to hold himself to a higher standard and starts writing things down. This is not about dreaming bigger.It’s about taking responsibility for the life you are building. — In this episode, we break down three core truths every man needs to face. DIRECTION WITH ACCOUNTABILITYMost men stay busy because it gives the illusion of progress. Direction means nothing unless you are willing to be held accountable to it by your word, your standards, and the men around you. Without accountability, effort turns into noise. DISCIPLINE OVER COMFORT AND EXCUSESComfort keeps men average. We talk straight about the habits and excuses that quietly sabotage progress. Discipline only works when comfort is challenged and standards are enforced. Growth requires pressure, not ease. ACTION BACKED BY OWNERSHIPGoals mean nothing without follow through. We challenge the idea of someday and focus on real timelines, real actions, and full ownership. No execution means the goal was never real. — This episode is for men who are done talking about change and ready to live it. If you want this year to actually look different from the last, this conversation will challenge you to step up, take responsibility, and lead your life with intent. — EPISODE SEGMENTS Ask Us AnythingQuestion:Hey fellas, I’m a big believer in discipline and standards for myself, but behind the scenes I’ve got habits I’d be embarrassed to say out loud. Nothing illegal, just enough to keep me stuck and feeling like crap. I know I’m not being authentic and wouldn’t mind some advice. Out and AboutCommunity:The boys chat about the BBQ and Wayno getting a sausage sandwich thrown at him. Meetups:The crew talk about recent meetups and some big news coming. The Week That WasFrom the Bondi terror attack, to Albo’s new hate speech laws, to Trump wanting Greenland. Man vs MachineQuestion:Why do men cling to roles even after those roles stop giving them meaning? — This is the year excuses die and ownership begins. — Watch and Listen Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/25atM2TRH06ePccTzrl5kW Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/average-joes-men-s-collective/id1704231661 YouTubehttps://youtube.com/@averagejoesmenscollective — Join the Movementhttps://averagejoes.net.au — Please NoteThe views expressed in this episode are those of the hosts and guests, not any organisation.
