Mantalks Podcast: Purpose | Legacy | Relationships | Self Mastery | Business

Talking points: breath work, balance, burnout, stress and the brain, hustle culture, children, digital detoxing It's a very demanding jungle out there. In a culture that seems to thrive on your being burnt out, how do you fight back? Can you? I sat down with my old friend Adam Hart this week to cover exactly that. Many of Adam's clients compare his work to a finding the “Fountain of Youth” as they regularly break free from self sabotage, fatigue and unhealthy behaviours that they have been stuck in for you years. Adam specializes in helping people ignite their full potential by unlocking themselves from patterns of stress and anxiety and begin to master the mindset necessary for living a fulfilled and purposeful life. With a degree in Sociology and accreditation by the Canadian Mental Health Association, Adam has coached hundreds of people over the past 15+ years as Founder of Clear Impact, established in 2005. When Adam is not coaching, he can be found hanging out with his loving wife and two kids in the mou

Cue "Sweet Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac, please. Why DO we self-sabotage? Why do we spend the money we don't have, break down the gym routine or go for the nastiest fast food—even after we've decided we're stopping? I think one of the most popular reasons we're given is actually pretty...wrong. This podcast is brought to you by Organifi!

Talking points: working in/with the wild, initiation, trauma, what nature teaches you, masculinity This has been one of my most anticipated guests of all time. Like, years. An incredible storyteller, a man with a mighty heart and passion for everything wilderness, this is an episode I encourage you to share with the men in your life. Seriously. The wildlife and literacy activist Boyd Varty, author of the memoir Cathedral of the Wild, had an unconventional upbringing. Born to a family of conservationists, Boyd grew up on Londolozi Game Reserve in the South African wilderness, a place where man and nature strive for balance, where perils exist alongside wonders. Founded more than 90 years ago as a hunting ground, Londolozi was transformed into a nature reserve beginning in 1973 by Varty’s father and uncle, visionaries of the restoration movement. But it wasn’t just a sanctuary for the animals; it was also a place for ravaged land to flourish again and for the human spirit to be restored. When Nelson Mandela was

My son turns two in just a couple of weeks, so this topic has been on my mind: in what ways do we prepare our young boys? What do we teach them?

Talking points: dad life, parenting, teenagers, masculinity Very excited to share this conversation. I've found Dr. Shefali's approach to parenting both fascinating and helpful.

Specializing in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, she brings together the best of both worlds for her clients.

This one might ruffle some feathers. I've hesitated to fully dive into things like redpill, the "manosphere", etc. over the years—mostly because all I see are misconceptions and infighting.

Talking points: porn, masculinity, male decline, radicalization Listeners, this one has been a long time coming. I've been a big fan of Scott's work for a long time, and love his no-nonsense approach, particularly when it comes to what's going on with men and modern culture.

Now of course, not all men care, but I wanted to answer this question because it's something I get asked about a LOT—and almost always from women. It's a complex topic, too, but I wanted to be as succinct as possible. DM on Instagram if there's anything you'd like to add, what you agree or disagree with, or any other thoughts!

Talking points: internal family systems, origin stories, wounding, sleep deprived or sleep depraved? Folks, I am so deeply proud of my wife, and very excited to have her on the show once more to dive deep into her book, The Origins of You. We look at origin stories, aka how family patterns also create patterns in ourselves—that then impact our lives and relationships in so many different ways.

As many of you already know, I'm inspired a lot by Jung's work. This week, I wanted to cover seven Jung terms as I understand them, because I see them mentioned a lot out there; from the collective unconscious and the shadow, to the persona and the animus.

This episode is selections from a Zoom panel discussion I hosted on Jan 31 titled "Modern Masculinity and WTF Is Men's Work". For a couple years now, myself and these eight other men have gathered privately to talk about, well, everything.

It might sound odd, but I think there are significant differences between the two, and it's important to train ourselves to understand those differences. Why?

Talking points: transition, moving from the Congo to America, equality, masculinity, and relationships. This was a phenomenal conversation. Full stop. Jeremie and I cover a lot of ground, and I'm grateful to have his insight and perspective on men's work. It's nuanced, clear, and deeply authentic. Jeremie Lotemo is a transformation coach helping clients create lasting change by examining the stories and beliefs that influence them on an unconscious level. He works to help them reestablish safety in the body in order to recognize these beliefs and release them completely. Before becoming a coach, Jeremie was an account manager for one of the fastest-growing marketing agencies in Atlanta, eventually developing his own agency. For years, he helped clients use advertising to influence the behavior of their customers. This led him to analyze how much of his own life, choices, and ambitions were a product of someone else’s story. He left advertising and now uses his skills to help others write a story that’s entire

What if you didn't need outside validation? What if you could actually celebrate your own achievements? In a decade of working with men, I've noticed a lot of us struggle with this (myself included) and that hinders our capacity to contribute to the world the way we want to.

I'm sure you've heard the joke: men will start five separate podcasts before they go to therapy. There are lots of reasons why the stereotype exists, but it's my job to take it seriously. Here's my take on one of the deeper reasons why many men avoid seeing a counselor, a coach, a psychiatrist, or a psychotherapist. This podcast is brought to you by Organifi!

Talking points: psychedelics, psychedelic-assisted therapy, men and therapy, the effects during and after taking psychedelics I've been looking forward to releasing the second part of our convo as a way of kicking off what 2023 could be for mental health. Nick is very well-informed, and if you've ever been curious about something like psilocybin, or just wanted some clarification on how psychedelics can affect a person and assist with powerful healing, this one is for you. Part 1 was about the fears and worries people can have around psychedelic experiences, and an overview of how they work and what their potential is.

Title says it all, folks. I get asked this question a lot. Like...a lot, a lot. But the answer isn't as simple as yes or no, obviously.
