Today, we’re diving into a conversation that challenges cultural taboos and explores groundbreaking approaches to men’s personal development. I’m joined by my longtime friend and collaborator, Kyle Hoffman. Kyle’s story is a testament to transformation—from joining his first men’s group at 22 to becoming a leader in life and intimacy coaching. Together, we’ll unpack themes of connection, vulnerability, and the evolving nature of men’s work. What does it mean to embrace touch, consent, and authenticity as tools for growth? Stick around—you won’t want to miss this conversation.

In this thought-provoking episode, Boysen Hodgson interviews Kyle Hoffman, a life and intimacy coach whose innovative work focuses on touch, consent, and emotional connection. They reflect on Kyle’s early involvement in men’s groups through the ManKind Project, discuss the cultural stigmas surrounding platonic touch, and explore how these issues tie into the epidemic of loneliness and disconnection in modern society. Kyle shares insights from his journey and practical tools to foster deeper, healthier relationships.

Episode Highlights:

• Kyle’s transformative experience joining his first men’s group at 22 and its lifelong impact.
• The importance of platonic touch and overcoming cultural taboos around men’s connection.
• Navigating consent as a practice of humility and emotional intelligence.
