  • Makes me think in a different way

    I’m a younger male listener and really glad I found this podcast before I fell into some of the traps and habits that Zach helps people out of. Really appreciate his honesty and the change he’s helping to bring.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#109: What it looks like when men are doing that internal WORK
Q: How do you approach asking your partner for permission to fail, and what should someone do if their partner resists that idea?
You start with a clear plan showing what you'll actually be changing, and you revisit it regularly to adjust. If resistance remains, you reassess trust levels, start with smaller, rubber-ball tasks, and progressively take on more responsibility.
#109: What it looks like when men are doing that internal WORK
Q: What resources or guidance did you wish you had when you started doing the work?
I wished for earlier, constructive feedback from other men who were open about their struggles with sharing household labor, and more opportunities to learn from vulnerable conversations rather than only documenting changes on platforms like TikTok.
#109: What it looks like when men are doing that internal WORK
Q: Can you pinpoint the moment when you knew you really needed to do the work with Alyssa?
The turning point came after reading Fair Play and realizing I wasn't the partner I believed myself to be; I saw the invisible labor and the gap in my contributions, which prompted a commitment to change and to apply the framework in real life.
#107: Choreplay - Jordan Carlos DEFENDS his title as I attack it
Q: Was there a moment for you that like you understood like, oh shit, like that's labor in itself?
I needed a book that was written to men about getting up off your duff, and that journey started when I read Fair Play.
Ep 70: Equal Partners with Kate Mangino
Q: What are some ways men can participate in caregiving and household roles?
Mangino suggests that men can take an active role in caregiving and managing household tasks by learning skills and engaging actively with their partners.
