  • Mindfulness with a side of humor

    I had such a great experience on Men Talking Mindfulness! EJ and I (Tarah) were honored to be guests on the show. John and Will have a unique way of bringing humor and lightness to conversations that really matter—mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and creating the kind of life we all deserve.

    Their approach makes these important topics feel accessible, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to explore. You can tell they care deeply about the work they’re doing and the impact they’re having.

Steven Pressfield: Winning the Battle Within | Men Talking Mindfulness
Q: Why is it crucial to view resistance as a capital R force and treat it as a daily battle?
Because naming it gives you a framework to fight it rather than be defeated by it, turning daily struggles into a persistent practice that protects the long-term creative process.
Mindfulness is Everywhere — This is how to find inner purpose as a man with Former Monk Sean Fargo
Q: What does internal versus external purpose look like for men today?
Internal purpose centers on values and how one wants to be, rather than external achievements; Sean argues that aligning outer actions with inner values creates lasting fulfillment and reduces anxiety about external circumstances.
Mindfulness is Everywhere — This is how to find inner purpose as a man with Former Monk Sean Fargo
Q: Sean, what created this radical shift from corporate life to the monastery and mindfulness teaching?
Sean describes a twofold shift: inspired by monks and mystics while living in Asia, and a burnout from a seven-days-a-week corporate job, leading him to seek peace and a way to share mindfulness in a secular, accessible form.
The One Molecule All Men Over 40 Need to Know About – Nitric Oxide, with Dr. Nathan Bryan
Q: Why does nitric oxide matter for everyday performance and aging?
Because it regulates blood flow, supports brain function and memory, aids recovery, and helps maintain sexual and cardiovascular health. Its decline with age can explain fatigue, brain fog, and reduced performance, so preserving its production is central to long-term vitality.
The 5 Mountains You Must Train as a Man with Former Navy SEAL Mark Divine
