Best-selling author Robert Glover joins me on the podcast for a candid conversation about Nice Guys, relationships, and menโs work.
Robert didnโt start out his career as a therapist planning on getting into menโs work. After receiving his doctorate and working as a marriage and family therapist, Robert started noticing common patterns in the men he was seeing. Many of them were the same patterns he saw in his own life. So he dove into menโs work, and wrote โNo More Mr. Nice Guy - A Proven Plan For Getting What You Want In Love, Sex, and Life.
Robert has been on this journey for over 25 years โ helping other men break free of the Nice Guy Syndrome, and always evolving his own personal tool kit.
In this episode, we discuss nice guys, โmenโs tribesโ, mothers, subconscious programming, shifting mindsets in relationships, embodiment work, menโs safe spaces, purpose, and so much more.
