Would you agree that men today seem ‘detached’ from a true path in life?

Statistically men in their 30s and 40s are feeling unfulfilled, depressed, and wanting more out of life. Men are struggling to connect and express themselves to become ‘whole’ men.

Sadly, many are drifting wondering, “Is this it?”

The luxury home, sports car, expensive watch, and dream vacations are not filling the gaps. And they never will.

What we know to be true is that experiences, typically with other people, are what bring fullness, purpose and meaning to life. But where can men go for this mindset shift?

The Whole Man Academy, created by our guest today, Anthony Astbury, is a powerful network of adventurous and bold men looking to live well and live that epic life.

“When it comes to emotions, as men, we've not grown up with it being okay to express your emotions. That does not mean you'd go online taking pictures of yourself looking sad all the time... I think that means you finding a close strong network of men or women around you who you can say whatever you want to say." - Anthony Astbury
