PokéMen's Health: Pokémon Meets Men's Health

A biologist once told me that the definition of "life" is an organism that is irritable to its surroundings and responds by making decisions. Therefore to be truly alive, we must make decisions, and when not doing so, we are less "alive". This definition reminds me of our generation's glaring problem: while modern culture brings many advancements, we have lost some of our effectiveness at making decisions, assessing risk (consequences), and taking action. While this problem affects everyone, Leroy "Flash" Gordon's podcasts dive into this phenomenon and look at situations where men have not received proper encouragement and knowledge of achieving goals. From his own life & experiences, he offers excellent advice for taking passivity "to the mat" and reveals where our fears stem from—both genetic and learned. His podcasts help deal with defeat and the inflated value we place on others' perceptions of this crucial process. He also teaches the importance of being in the present moment to affect real change. While drawing from literary examples, real-life anecdotes, and humor, he takes an in-depth look at these issues while still being relatable, entertaining, and exciting. I've found this series very useful, enlightening, and I look forward to more! (To Clarify: while Flash speaks from a male-experience, I think the lessons can be applicable regardless of gender.)

I love hearing the little pieces about Flash’s life and how he’s encountered the topics he touches on in his real life. I’ve enjoyed listening so far. I believe anyone would benefit from listening. Highly recommend.

He speaks so fluidly and the way he communicate to audiences is effortless. The ideology behind this podcast not only help men but also women to understand the other sex better! Keep up the good work :)

This is a really great series. Each episode is thought provoking, providing thought on some really important topics, geared towards men. The subject matter isn’t superficial or patronizing, but provides actual and actionable insights into the things that matter. With each episode only 15 mins, or so they are the perfect length to listen with a cup of coffee. I’m not a “self help” guy, but I surprised myself with how accessible and good this series is. Take a listen, it only takes the time to have a coffee!
