  • Real Men DO Feel (And I'm Glad I Do)!!

    When Andy and I first connected, we knew an on-air conversation was going to blow up with great positive energy...and also burn down all the BS about how men are not 'supposed to' feel (and show) emotion. Like Brothers from Another Mother, we instantly knew we'd BOTH been through some stuff and were willing to shine a light so that others would not feel they have to suffer in silence.

    This is LIFE...and you can't always just 'walk it off' or 'rub some dirt on it and get back in the game'.

  • Real Men Feel has become a regular listen for me

    I've been listening to this podcast for a year now, and I am just so

    glad to have learned about it. As a recently divorced person, who was apparently married to an emotionless robot, these conversations are very encouraging and beautiful. I love Andy's interview style and guests, and I always feel enlightened. Thank you Andy, for sharing these messages with the world!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Redefining Strength Emotional Fitness and Vulnerability
Q: When men first hear the phrase Emotional Fitness, what do you mean by it? and what's the most common expectation of what it means?
It means empowering your body through emotions; it challenges the stereotype that emotions are weakness and emphasizes facing and processing emotions to release stored energy through fitness.
Reinventing Yourself: Autonomy, Competence, and Connection
Q: What are the four phases to reinvention?
The four phases start with understanding how you got here, building a foundation of who you are and what you value, exploring possibilities, and then testing them through low-stakes experiments to gather real-world feedback.
Reinventing Yourself: Autonomy, Competence, and Connection
Q: What made you go from decades in corporate strategy and high tech into coaching?
I noticed how resistance to change often stems from grief—fear of losing relationships and the competencies built over years—so reinvention coaching digs deeper than traditional career coaching to address identity and meaning.
Life Reboot: Embracing Vulnerability and Setting Boundaries
Q: Why might gamification help people progress more than traditional self-help?
Because it makes growth enjoyable and measurable, helping individuals see concrete movement as they level up in areas like boundaries and energy over time.
Life Reboot: Embracing Vulnerability and Setting Boundaries
Q: What was burnout looking like for you before that trip to Europe?
It felt like living as a robot, overwhelmed, lacking passion, and mired in an existential crisis where every day was a grind with no clear meaning.
