A podcast about men, life, connection and the things we don’t always say out loud  Have you ever felt like there's too much pressure, and nowhere to turn? Well you’re not alone and this podcast is for you. This podcast exists because host Dom Fiore suffered a life changing injury that sent him on a journey of discovery. Dom believes that proper connection is what is missing for most men and he wants to understand how we can make that change together. With a focus on lived experience Dom is on a journey to discover real life stories with real life men and experts on a range of subjects to understand how we can connect, deal with and share the changes and experiences that life brings. We talk about life, health, fitness, career, family, relationships, stress and how we connect as men. The show will feature in depth interviews, personal reflections and how we keep going when the pressure is on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Happiness at Work: The Five Things You Need To Feel Happy in Your Job - Richard Clarke, the Entrepreneur with one KPI

    Episode 12 Happiness at Work: The Five Things You Need To Feel Happy in Your Job - Richard Clarke, the Entrepreneur with one KPI Guest: Richard Clarke — keynote speaker, consultant and former tech company founder Episode Description Richard Clarke spent four years teaching water skiing in Turkey, sailing in the Caribbean, traveling through Australia and Asia — all in pursuit of a single question: what actually makes me happy? When the answer turned out to be making other people happy, he came home, became a teacher, moved to Gran Canaria, and in 2014 became founder of a tech company with an unusual KPI. Not revenue. Not growth. Team happiness. For the next ten years he experimented as an entrepreneur on his own team, testing everything from meeting design to what food to serve at breakfast, to no-meeting Fridays, to flexible working, to turning down clients who weren’t a good fit for the culture. When he sent out an engagement survey two years in and 50% of his team said they wanted to leave, it taught him something important: you can’t replace good management with free stuff. Last year, Richard sold the company. He describes handing it over as feeling like putting his daughter on a plane to Peru — the same loss of something he’d built and loved that he couldn’t control anymore. In this conversation, Richard talks about the five things every workplace needs to make people genuinely happy — safety, community, autonomy, learning and purpose — and why they aren’t just workplace needs. He talks about job crafting, about the difference between British and Spanish working culture, about what Gen Z are getting right that previous generations were too scared to ask for, and about what Richard would tell you to do if you’re not happy at work right now.

    No Risk, No Story - the Life of AI Entrepreneur and zally Founder, Patrick Smith

    Episode 11 No Risk, No Story The Life of AI Entrepreneur and zally Founder, Patrick Smith Guest: Patrick Smith — entrepreneur, AI specialist and founder of zally Episode Description Patrick Smith started his first two businesses at the age of ten — a website-building operation for his dad’s friends and a DJ booking agency, with his mum driving the equipment to school discos in the back of the car. By 13 he was being paid professionally as a DJ and lying about his age to get the gigs. By 25 he had built and lost eleven ventures. He took full ownership of every one of them and saw each failure as training. Born in Oslo to a family with entrepreneurship in its DNA — his great-grandfather built 40 bespoke tailoring businesses across Europe before the war stripped them away — Patrick has since built and exited multiple companies, moved to London knowing nobody, then Manchester, and is now based between Manchester and San Francisco building zally, a behavioural AI company working on what he describes as giving technology the one thing it lacks: intuition. In this conversation, Patrick talks about what it actually costs to be a founder — on your family, your friendships, your mental health. About the sacrifices his wife and children make so he can build. About the eleven failures before 25, and what each one taught him. About stopping drinking four years ago, treating himself like an athlete, and counting bad days rather than good ones. About the personal story behind zally — his mother’s death from cancer, his father’s dementia, and a problem with passwords that became a business. And about why, when you ask a billionaire in San Francisco why they’re doing it again, they always give you the same answer: I don’t know anything else.

    Regaining a Zest for Life and coming back from Burnout

    Episode 10 Regaining a Zest for Life and coming back from Burnout Guest: Jason Renshaw Also featuring: Francis Norton — BACP accredited counsellor, burnout specialist Episode Description Jason Renshaw is 53, married to Tracy for 28 years, father to a 13-year-old daughter and a Star Wars collector with 35 years at the same accountancy firm. Last year he suffered what he calls a breakdown. He didn’t see it coming — something that built quietly for years but he kept pushing through anyway. In this conversation, Jason talks about the morning in December 2025 when he woke up feeling nothing. About the two nights before that he couldn’t sleep. About the dark thoughts that crept in. About how he went straight to work and broke down in front of his boss because he couldn’t face going home and worrying his wife. About the gap between being the dependable guy, the one who gets things done, and the man who was quietly falling apart. Jason also talks about what has helped — the small changes, the impact of Andy’s Man Club, the conversations he’d never had before, the vitamin deficiencies nobody had flagged, the department move that lifted the weight from his head almost instantly. And what he wishes someone had simply asked him earlier. Burnout specialist and BACP accredited counsellor Francis Norton then joins to explain what burnout actually is, how to recognise it before it becomes a crisis, and why men in particular find it so hard to act on what they’re feeling until it’s already too late.

    Man Rebuilt

    Episode 9 Man Rebuilt Guest: Jonny Stannard — health, fitness and mindset coach, creator of Man Rebuilt Episode Description Jonny Stannard grew up above pubs, hotels and nightclubs in Lancashire. His parents were always working, structure was absent, and from early adolescence he was left largely to his own devices. At twelve he was drinking. By his mid-thirties, he was a fitness professional with a business, a wife, a daughter — and a Saturday night habit he couldn't shake. This is a conversation about what chaos does to a kid, what it takes to rebuild yourself as a man, and why willpower alone is never enough. Jonny talks about the limiting beliefs he developed as a child, how alcohol became his substitute for connection, and what eventually made him stop. He also talks about the work he does now through Man Rebuilt — helping men who are busy, stressed, out of shape and self-sabotaging to get what they want out of their lives. It's an honest, grounded conversation about identity, internal dialogue, discipline, and what it actually looks like when a man decides to change.

    What Makes A Man? Part 2 - Raising Awareness on Coercive Control and Challenging Misogyny

    Episode 8 Navigating Masculinity Part 2 Raising Awareness on Coercive Control and Challenging Misogyny Guest: Andrew ‘Bernie’ Bernard — speaker, author and educator Trigger Warning This episode contains a continuation of Bernie’s story about his testicular cancer and the harrowing account of his sister Sarah’s murder by her abusive partner in 2012. If either of these subject matters are sensitive to you, please think carefully before listening. If This Episode Has Raised Issues for You If you or someone you know has been affected by domestic abuse or coercive control, the following organisations can help: National Domestic Abuse Helpline (Refuge): 0808 2000 247 — free, 24 hours a day Men’s Advice Line: 0808 801 0327 Coercive control information: refuge.org.uk Episode Description In the second part of the conversation with Andrew ‘Bernie’ Bernard, the tone shifts. Bernie picks up from where Episode 7 left off — with his work in schools on testicular cancer, his session Life by the Balls, and the students who have kept him humble over the years. Then he tells the story of his sister Sarah. In 2012, Sarah was fatally stabbed by her partner Ian Hope, who was convicted of murder and given life with a minimum tariff of 17 years. Bernie talks about what led up to that night, the failures in the police response, the changes that followed, and what he has done since to educate young people about coercive control and domestic abuse through his keynote Sarah’s Legacy. The conversation then moves to the Manosphere — the manufactured male victim narrative, the misuse of statistics, the pipeline from online influencers to real-world attitudes, and what Bernie believes can be done about it. He talks about feminism, about the word itself, about the 31% of Gen Z men who now believe women should obey their partner, and about why education, media literacy and empathy remain the only long-term answers. This is a serious, important and at times difficult episode. It is one of the most substantive conversations about male responsibility and violence against women that you will find on any podcast.

    What Makes A Man? Part 1 - From Anger to Understanding, A Journey of Growth

    Episode 7 Navigating Masculinity Part 1 From Anger to Understanding — A Journey of Growth Guest: Andrew ‘Bernie’ Bernard — speaker, author and educator Episode Description Andrew ‘Bernie’ Bernard has spent nearly two decades working with young people on masculinity, equality, domestic abuse and men’s mental health. He’s delivered keynotes at Parliament and spoken to over 170,000 people in schools and organisations across the country. But before any of that, he was an angry young man from Aylesbury who got arrested on Oxford Street, smashed up a pub, and left school with an E and a U at A level. In the first of a two-part conversation, Bernie traces the journey from that angry teenager to the man he is today. He talks about what was driving the anger — entitlement, a chaotic home, a grammar school that felt wrong, and an adoption he found out about at 17. About the moment a friend called him in rather than called him out, and how that changed the way he thought about women. About the college principal who gave him one last chance. And about what it took to finally allow himself to believe he was clever. This is a conversation about masculinity and what it actually means to grow up in a man, not a boy.

"I allowed myself to believe I was actually clever. I’d spent so long thinking it wasn’t cool to be clever." "We spend so much of our time worrying about what we look like. We don’t consider much about our character." "We can make ourselves as busy as we want. But sometimes we just have to go — how can I help?"

    Do You Feel Frozen Out?

    What Every Man Needs To Know About The Menopause But Is Afraid To Ask At any one time in the UK, 13 million women are going through perimenopause or menopause. That means every man listening to this knows someone affected by it — right now, or at some point in their life. Joe Warner is the former editor-in-chief of Men's Fitness magazine and the author of Burning Up, Frozen Out — a book written specifically to close the biggest gap in the menopause conversation: men. In this episode, Joe talks about what led him to write the book, why men so often make things worse without realising it, and what it actually looks like to be a useful partner during this stage of life. Dom and Joe cover communication, the talk triangle, how to stop arguments escalating, the chapter on men's own midlife experience, the second mountain, the friendship gap many men fall into, and why strength training matters for both partners in midlife. Also in this episode: couples psychotherapist Ambika Shekhawat on why women so often initiate couple therapy during this stage of life, and what men can do to better understand what's going on.

Об этом подкасте

A podcast about men, life, connection and the things we don’t always say out loud  Have you ever felt like there's too much pressure, and nowhere to turn? Well you’re not alone and this podcast is for you. This podcast exists because host Dom Fiore suffered a life changing injury that sent him on a journey of discovery. Dom believes that proper connection is what is missing for most men and he wants to understand how we can make that change together. With a focus on lived experience Dom is on a journey to discover real life stories with real life men and experts on a range of subjects to understand how we can connect, deal with and share the changes and experiences that life brings. We talk about life, health, fitness, career, family, relationships, stress and how we connect as men. The show will feature in depth interviews, personal reflections and how we keep going when the pressure is on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
