  • Spitting truth

    Keep calling men forward to rise and keep expanding our knowledge of what a real man looks like. So much value here. Thank you!

  • Important info but still defends men’s bad behavior at times

    I am glad he is putting this content out there- men need as much of it as they can get. I was disappointed, however, listening to a recent podcast about intimacy and he seemed to be defending men’s bad behavior. I get it, he is a man, but it still isn’t healthy to defend men at large in their dysfunction.

  • Disappointing

    After hearing Connor on other podcasts being pretty raw, honest and insightful, decided to start listening to his own podcast. Still occasionally insightful, but a lot of the time he ends up explaining to men what women are thinking and completely missing the mark, buying into the Jordan Peterson school of thought that women don’t actually know what they want so you shouldn’t listen to them because they are ruled by their biology. I mean come on Connor. It’s 2025, get with it. I know you can han... more

  • Where did the Mark Walsh episode go?

    It was the best thing I’ve heard on this podcast. Went to share it with a friend and it seems to have disappeared.

  • Sometimes vague and general.

    Trying to find the words but sometimes feels vague or general and “rantful” Some episodes better than others. Much also self-explanatory. I know some people may struggle more with simple things. Could go more in-depth, episodes can be short. And feels like most of his personal experience only.

    We know some of the stuff already… but want to know how to implement it. Bridging the self awareness to action.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

33% of Schizophrenia Cases Come From THIS, with Chris Palmer
Q: Can resilience and behavioral changes actually modify metabolic pathways to improve mental health, and if so, what kinds of changes are most impactful?
Yes, changes in diet, sleep, exercise, and reduction of harmful substances can enhance mitochondrial function and neuroplasticity, while psychosocial interventions and healthy relationships can reduce chronic stress, collectively improving brain metabolism and resilience.
33% of Schizophrenia Cases Come From THIS, with Chris Palmer
Q: Why is the idea that mental disorders are metabolic in nature a useful framework for understanding these conditions?
Because metabolism and mitochondrial function connect core processes like energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, gene expression, and neuroplasticity, offering a cohesive explanation for how biological, lifestyle, and environmental factors interact to shape mental health and illness.
How to Survive "The Long Dark", with Francis Weller
Q: Where does AI fit into this framework of soul and culture?
AI is a double-edged sword; it could either detach humanity further from embodied reality or, if guided by deeper cosmological values, support meaningful human flourishing. The speakers caution that current AI development is driven by profit and power, not soulful grounding.
How to Survive "The Long Dark", with Francis Weller
Q: How should a man begin tracking being in service to his soul, given the pressures of modern masculinity?
Begin by changing the life premise from self-improvement to cultivating a friendship with one's life, embracing wounds, and practicing confession within circles to build authentic connection.
Unpacking the Complex Crisis of Male Suicide
Q: What are the main factors that contribute to risk for men, based on your findings?
Three core factors are exposure to pain (historical and current), difficulties with regulation (emotional coping strategies that may backfire), and a threshold where the pain becomes unbearable; these are shaped by relationships, self-view, and emotional processing.
