What does it mean to be a man, and human, in the world today? This Webby-nominated audio & video podcast explores what it means to be a man today and how rigid gender roles have affected all people. The show creates a safe environment for a range of perspectives to meet and stay at the table, exploring how the messages of masculinity show up in relationships, body image, privilege, fatherhood, sex, success, mental health and so much more. Instead of polarizing and demonizing men and masculinity, it invites all humans to participate and thrive in the world.
The weekly series is hosted by filmmaker, actor & author Justin Baldoni, author & journalist Liz Plank, and President of Wayfarer Studios & award winning music producer Jamey Heath. It’s currently in Season 2 and is in the top 1% of most followed and shared podcasts on Spotify, beloved by men, women and people of all genders.

Surviving War: Friendship, Manhood and Vulnerability with Major Tom Schueman
Major Tom Schueman, The Man Enough Podcast’s first war veteran and active duty military guest, discusses male friendship, positive masculine characteristics that are not binary or the property of men alone, how being trained to be alert all the time on the battlefield can make it hard to be vulnerable and present in the rest of life, how knowing how to handle any kind of physical wound does not prepare you to address emotional or psychological wounds, and his belief that we need to learn how to reintegrate warriors back into society after combat like Native Americans and the Spartans used to do. Ultimately, he believes that healthy manhood is rooted in finding purpose and serving something greater than yourself.

About Major Tom Schueman:
During his 15 years in military service so far, Major Tom Schueman served as a platoon commander in Afghanistan for 16 months. Tom was awarded a Purple Heart after he and others were ambushed in a field on Nov. 9, 2010. He then went on to get his masters in English Literature at Georgetown University, and currently teaches English literature at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where he remains on active duty. Tom met Zainullah "Zak" Zaki, an Afghan translator who was embedded with the platoon he commanded in Afghanistan. Schueman and Zak quickly became “family.”
Read _Always Faithful_
Major Tom and Zak co-wrote a book titled _Always Faithful_, telling the full story of the divergent paths that led them to work together in Afghanistan, the dangerous road they walked together in service to America, and how their commitment to each other ended up saving both their lives, literally.
Major Tom Quotes:
“Male friendships…take commitment and consistency. We often think we’re too busy. No relationship will flourish unless it’s watered and fed.”
“What I view as some of the positive masculine traits are self-composure, equanimity...I think one of the most desirable traits of a man is someone who is self-composed.”
“I don’t view [traits] as binary or mutually exclusive…I’m not saying that it’s not feminine or women can’t do those things...When I talk about my hero, my mother, she exhibited many of these - what we would characterize as masculine traits - and did it exceedingly well.”

Quotes:
“Feminism is about choice.” - Caylee Cresta

“We fall in love with a man’s potential, not who he is.” - Caylee Cresta
“For women, intimacy doesn’t start when you take your clothes off, it started that morning.” - Caylee Cresta
“Men can recognize that women tend to tie emotions into sex yet you don’t understand why your wife doesn’t want to have sex with you when you aren’t providing her with any emotional support.” - Caylee Cresta
“Femininity is a quality…there’s nothing wrong with a woman embracing her femininity. .. at the same time, a woman should not be looked down upon for having the same ambitions as a man has been able to have.” - Justin Baldoni
About Caylee Cresta
Caylee Cresta is a content creator and tik tok star with over 2M followers famously known for her comeback series where she reacts to toxic opinions and videos from men (usually regarding women) through stern advice and education. Caylee created her channel while working as a public construction project manager where she would hear her male employees share the pains of marriage and complain about their wives and at the same time complain about the lack of sex in their relationships. She started to wonder “what do men want from women?” and thus the channel was born. Her aim is to bridge the communication gap between men and women by eloquently and calmly explaining viewpoints that many women are hesitant to express themselves.

Read Brown Enough
Brown Enough, part memoir and part social commentary, emerges, asking readers to proudly put their bodies, their identities, into the conversations of race. Brown Enough is a roller coaster of finding one's true self while simultaneously having a racial awakening amidst the struggle to be "perfectly" Latinx, woke, and as Brown as possible to make it in today's America.

Customer Reviews
Much needed for any young man or person
Truly amazing podcast. Obviously there are ample other identities (race, gender, etc) that could be represented, but the hosts and guests are diverse enough to provide an array of viewpoints and insight that always leave me with something to think about. They're able to discuss masculinity as it relates to the previously mentioned demographics, and do so without crossing into "men's rights" territory. Great variety of guests as well, and it's neat to hear vulnerable conversations from some of the household names.
Fun Enough!
Incredible conversations on important topics and they have fun doing it! I’m all the way in!!
Love the message of this podcast
I deeply appreciate what this team is doing. It’s critically important that men allow themselves the space to be vulnerable and explore their full range of emotions. Love the dynamic btw Justin, Liz, Jamey and the guest hosts! Highly recommend giving them a listen!
