Learn what it means to be a man in 2025, as ideas around masculinity, emotional intelligence, and personal growth continue to evolve in today’s world. In this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay sits down with Brett Zachman to explore these shifts in depth. Zachman is the founder of BeMen. It is a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to men’s wellness, personal growth, and brotherhood. Zachman is not a therapist by trade. But his work comes from real life, especially after divorce, emotional breakdown, and searching for meaning.
Zachman says his journey starts with pain. “Out of pain comes purpose,” he shares. After divorce, career changes, and feeling alone, he asks a key question. Many men carry it silently: What happens when life falls apart? He finds a sad truth. Men often turn inward. Or they have nowhere to go.
“Most men don’t talk about what they’re going through, we isolate, we bury it, we try to muscle through.” Zachman explains. That silence, he notes, often leads to anxiety, broken relationships, and disconnection from self and others.
From this, BeMen is born. It’s not a business. It’s a brotherhood. Men can speak honestly here. They grow emotionally. They healthily redefine masculinity. Through summits, gatherings, and talks, Zachman helps men learn how to be a man today. No shame. No ego. No old expectations.
