The Better Man Podcast

For whatever reason, men are particularly bad at managing their stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. I’ve struggled with this myself. Everyone struggles with this.  But why?  As men, we’ve been discouraged to give our emotions the validation they deserve. Instead of confronting issues, we avoid them by turning into workalcoholics or exercise junkies. While these can be beneficial activities, they cause your emotions to bubble behind the scenes… Until you unleash them at the worst possible times.  But there’s a better way to manage uncomfortable feelings like stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, so you actually overcome them. In this episode, you’ll discover:  Why avoiding your emotions is a bigger problem than you think 2 prerequisites you must have in order to confront and address discomforting emotions  3 simple, yet wildly effective strategies to address and conquer stress, anxiety, and overwhelm  And more, including…  Why “pushing through” stress like you would a tough workout makes it fester under the surface until you explode (even if it works in the short-term) (1:18)  How men use exercise as a crutch to avoid uncomfortable emotions (and how to use your endorphins as a tool instead) (4:23)  Do your thoughts keep running around in a circle like a dog trying to catch its tail? Here’s how to break free of this endless worry loop (10:41)  How physically writing down your worries “deletes” them from your headspace (11:32)  Listen now!

Something devastating happened to you when you turned seven years old… You figured out your default state of being and thinking and trapped yourself in a “mind matrix.” Inside this “mind matrix,” your ego formed, your defense mechanisms solidified, and you started living the rest of our lives on autopilot.  This happens to everyone, not just you…  But the problem is, relying on defense mechanisms you formed when you were a child makes it easy to self-sabotage in adulthood.  To make matters worse… Most men stay trapped in these childhood behavior patterns because they’ve repressed them for so long they don’t even realize their impact—until gut-wrenching pain shocks your system and allows you to see the matrix.  That’s why I invited Ani Manian (aka The Mind Whisperer) onto today’s show.  Ani went through this matrix-shattering experience when his dad’s body got cremated. And since then, he’s discovered how to help other men go through these transformative experiences without the soul-crushing pain.  In today’s show, Ani reveals: How shame works into your subconscious and holds you back  Why coping strategies you created as a child still control you today (and how making peace with these parts allows you to move forward)  How to actually love yourself (and why men find self-love impossible)  How to reach your true, limitless potential—no matter how many obstacles you encounter And so much more, including these highlights…  How to tap into the limitless potential sitting idly inside you (4:56)  The weird reason why newborn babies have more control and contact with their emotions than full-grown men (9:18)  The main reason why adults struggle with being present (and how to improve this skill) (11:55)  How your nervous system creates a “Shell Identity” of yourself in early childhood that still limits you to this day (13:58)  Why gut-wrenching emotional pain helps you see the “Ego Matrix” your trapped in (15:32)  The “Check Engine Light” secret for using your suffering to reach your highest potential (22:23)  Why you can trace back every self-sabotaging behavior in adulthood back to a childhood hero (30:02)  The fundamental mistake people make on their self-growth journey that prevents them from escaping their programming (31:27)  The “Shame Core” that you store deep inside yourself that makes transformative change impossible (44:47)  Why deep friendships with other men is the most effective way to break free of self-defeating patterns (51:07)  Do you struggle with loving yourself? This is the most practical and useful way to practice self-love (1:05:29) Resources mentioned on this episode:  1.

One of the most understated things that most men carry around unknowingly is some type of deep grief or sadness that comes from your childhood.  But therapy, which is dominated by women, doesn’t give the best route to confront, address, and accept these deep-seated feelings. To make matters worse, most men are so out of touch with their emotions that they can only try to explain them logically.  But emotions don’t happen in your head. They live in your body.  Understanding this tells us why so many men lead lives of quiet desperation, isolation, and depression. And nobody’s a better guide to healing your emotional wellbeing than today’s guest: Connor Beaton, founder of ManTalks.  Connor had it all on the outside looking in. But behind the scenes, his life was falling apart in every aspect.  One day, after hitting rock bottom, Connor apprenticed under an old-school psychologist. And since then, he’s not only turned his life around, but leads other men to transform themselves.  Connor reveals a ton in this episode including…  Tactical ways to improve your emotional awareness and health  The root cause of why you find yourself in a repeating cycle of self-sabotage  How doing psychological shadow work can improve your marriage (and save you from divorce)  Why men are so bad at understanding their emotions (and easy ways to improve your emotional IQ)  And so much more.  The state of men’s emotional health is in sharp decline. But Connor has strategies and tactics that can help.  Other highlights from this episode include:  How replacing the word “therapy” with this is the easiest way to start your emotional wellness journey (3:30)  The emotional health of men is in sharp decline: These are the 4 main reasons why (7:54)  Why it’s paramount for men to define masculinity instead of continuing to let society define it for us (13:52)  How female-centric psychology deprives men of key aspects they need for therapy to be effective (16:12)  Who else struggles to share their deepest problems with other men? Connor reveals how to have these tough conversations here… (24:43)  How your inner dialogue shatters your confidence, fills you with shame, and traps you in isolation (29:05)  Do you feel like you’re on a roller coaster of self-destruction? This is the reason why… (32:54)  2 tactical tricks you can start today to turn your inner critic into your inner hype man (35:55)  The self-fulfilling “Shadow” prophecy that causes unnecessary suffering in men’s lives—and how to break out of this vicious cycle (50:08)  How ignoring your shadow parts make them grow stronger and more destructive (and how to mine the gold from them instead) (54:02)  Why all your deepest fears and insecurities rear their ugly heads in your relationship—and how to accept them before they undermine your marriage (1:12:35)  The “Charge & Intensity” secret for getting out of your head and into your body to feel your emotions (1:20:41)  Resources mentioned on this episode:  1.

Despite never having easier access to other people, men today are lonelier than perhaps any other point in history.    We don’t deeply connect with each other. We don’t share our struggles in a vulnerable way. And it comes with the steep cost of loneliness, stress, overwhelm, and other mental health issues.    But there’s not a more effective way to overcome acute mental problems than by sharing your struggles with other men. I realized this last week when I was freaking out about everything. I didn’t want to share my worries with my wife, but not talking about them gave them more power.    And so, I reached out to a few friends I trust and asked them if they ever felt this way. My worries evaporated a little bit more with each reply I got. But I know most men today aren’t lucky enough to be able to feel this vulnerable with other men.  That’s why I recorded this week’s show and reveal: Why bonding over shared struggles is the best “hack” to improve your mental wellbeing  The 5 biggest problems modern men face—there’s a good chance you also struggle with one of these  How Man Flow Yoga Engage (coming April 1) can help men open up with each other and improve their mental health  And more, including…  The wildly effective, yet simple way to improve your mental wellbeing (that most guys overlook) (0:51)  How I overcame the downward spiral I had last week—and how to use this approach yourself next time anxiety and stress knock on your door (1:21)  The “Pawn Secret” for easing mental overwhelm in just a few moments (2:55)  3 reasons why men’s mental health is in decline (4:22)  The top 5 non-fitness struggles that the Man Flow Yoga Community wrestles with (6:45)  A brief explanation of Man Flow Yoga Engage—the latest addition to your Man Flow Yoga experience that has nothing to do with yoga or physical fitness (14:35)  Resources mentioned on this episode:  1.

Motivation is a fickle beast. One day, your motivation soars and you finally start a fitness program. The next day, your motivation strands you and threatens your goals.  The trickiest part about motivation is how quickly it comes and goes. Despite it consistently being unreliable, we still feel the need to want to feel it before tackling a big goal.  Well, today’s guest, Paul Clingan (aka The Trooper Transmission CT-3939), the founder of The Trooper Transmission—a Star Wars based fitness program—has stumbled on a way to “hack” your motivation by borrowing it from your favorite movie characters.  Whenever he feels unmotivated, he asks himself what Luke Skywalker would do. And while this may seem a bit weird, it’s incredibly effective.  In today’s show, Paul and I discuss: Why borrowing motivation and mindsets from your favorite movie characters give you a sustainable way to hack your motivation and improve your happiness How your beliefs and self-image can both inspire you and sabotage you  Why having more fun in your workouts leads to more consistency and motivation (and eliminates imposter syndrome)  And more, including…  How mixing yoga with strength training can entirely eliminate your back pain—while also chiseling you like a Greek god (9:52)  Do you feel guilty after missing a few workouts? Here’s how to become okay with missing a workout or two without self-sabotaging (10:56)  The weird way yoga instructors in studio classes risk your body for their ego (15:42)  Why odd environmental hacks—like hiding an Xbox in a weird location—can actually help you break your bad habits (23:57)  How donning an alter ego for your workouts make you look forward to them (even when you’re exhausted and unmotivated) (33:57)  The “North Star” secret for fueling your motivation tank to the brim (35:50)  How your beliefs about yourself, good or bad, become a self-fulfilling prophecy (and how your favorite movie characters can unlock better beliefs about yourself) (51:28)  The one question—from a collegiate mental performance coach—that can instantly free you from the vice grip of resistance (1:15:26)  Resources mentioned on this episode:  1.

What do you do when you’re stuck in a rut and your motivation is running out?  If your first reaction is to berate yourself out of it or deny that it’s happening—a problem men in particular struggle with—then, well, you can actually prolong the rut you’re in.  I’ve experienced this myself. And I’ve also found a better, more productive way to handle a lack of motivation:  In today’s episode, I’m sharing the set of strategies I use to pull myself out of a rut, so you can try them whenever your motivation is running out.  In this episode, I discuss:  How to jumpstart your motivation when it’s running out The biggest mistake you can make after losing motivation My two-step process for getting back on track when you’re in a rut   And more, including:  The “Body Awareness” method for dissolving stress and overwhelm when you’re in a rut (1:47)  3 simple questions to ask yourself when you’re down that can provide clarity into your emotions (3:34)  Why being too tough on yourself when you’re stuck in a rut backfires (7:59)  How acknowledging bad feelings and negative emotions can sometimes be all you need to move past them (7:59)  How holding things in drains your energy and zaps your motivation (12:04)  Why low-energy activities “prime” your motivation tank and restore it (15:35)  Related Episodes:  Episode 83: How Low-Effort Exercise Enhances Your Health More Than High-Intensity Workouts Episode 82: The Power of Being Alone: My 24-Hour Solo Retreat Experience Other important links:  Want to improve your sexual wellness, get stronger erections, and last longer in bed?

Men today live in a constant state of stress. Despite never being safer from external threats, modern society presents us with more stress than any other generation before us—and it’s killing us.  In fact, when you live in a constant state of stress, things that are considered healthy—like weight lifting, cardio workouts, and cold & hot therapy—actually become unhealthy. They deplete your energy savings, swirling your cortisol levels to unmanageable heights, and create a vicious cycle of even more stress.  That’s the bad news.  The worse news is that the solution is so simple, most men will ignore it.  That’s why I invited human performance specialist, Brian Mackenzie, back onto the Better Man Podcast to prove to you—beyond a shadow of a doubt—that doing less is more effective than tacking on more to your already busy schedule.  For example, if you can go on a 45-minute walk per day without breathing through your mouth or bringing your phone, you will be healthier and have greater longevity than 90% of the world.  In this episode, Brian and I discuss:  The two easiest (and most effective) ways to improve your health, happiness, and longevity  How doing high-intensity workouts backfires when you don’t do the simple, foundational exercises  Why a positive mind (and a dog) are the two best “investments” you can make into your health and longevity  And so much more that flips the “more, more, more!” mentality most of us have on its head with unconventional wisdom including…  The single best modality, according to scientific research, to slow down the aging process and combat diseases (4:57)  Why movement is the most effective way to delay your death (6:58)  What’s the main difference between people living in “blue zones,” where they live well over 100 years old? Brian explains the difference here… (14:52)  Why walking is more important to your longevity than strength training, cardio, and even yoga (16:14)  Do you walk with your mouth open? Here’s what this habit reveals about your health… (17:47)  Why Brian recommends avoiding higher intensity exercise if you’re a high-stress individual (26:19)  How low level forms of exercise actually help your body adapt to higher intensity workouts (26:57)  Why a positive mind is the best health and wellness “hack” you can have (37:09)  The simple, yet wildly effective “Embrace Change” mindset shift for exponentially increasing your longevity (57:59)  Best practices for mixing in saunas and cold plunges into your cardio or strength training workouts (1:04:06)  Why simply buying a dog might be the best investment you can make for your health (1:23:46)  How removing phrases like “I need to…” from your vocabulary instantly makes your happier and healthier (1:26:29)  Resources mentioned on this episode:  1.

Today’s hustle culture tricks men, myself included, into jamming more activities into our day to become more productive, more successful, and more fulfilled.  But this relentless pursuit of self-development opens up a void in our life. The more things we shove into our day, the less time we have to slow down and reflect on what actually matters.  In other words, adding more productivity hacks doesn’t result in significant improvement. It does the opposite: It drives you to the verge of burnout.  Nothing made this clearer to me than when I went on a 24-hour solo retreat. During these 24 hours of solitude, I realized some crucial things about my business, relationships, and life. And I want to share the template I used, so that you can do the same in your life if you’re feeling burnt out and unfilled.  In this episode, I reveal:  Why being alone, free from external influences, unlocks more meaningful change in less time  How doing less makes you more fulfilled  The exact template I followed during my 24-hour solo retreat that resulted in immediate transformation  And more, including:  6 simple questions to ask yourself to make 2024 more successful and fulfilling than 2023 (4:53)  Why listening to your own thoughts instead of relying on external influences (like books and podcasts) unlocks meaningful change—faster (6:12)  8 activities to dabble in when you’re feeling burnt out to refuel and revitalize you (7:11)  How long hikes clear out all your “brain gunk” and help you find mental clarity (even when you’re up to your neck in stress) (9:07)  Why “feeling” your way to self-development instead of “thinking” your way there unleashes significant improvement (and how to do this) (11:29)  The “building and optimizing” mistake of self-improvement that keeps you stuck, unfulfilled, and on the verge of burning out (15:41)  Constantly in “Go, Go, Go Mode?” Here’s why doing less makes you feel more fulfilled (19:41)  Other important links:  Want to improve your sexual wellness, get stronger erections, and last longer in bed?

Go up to any man on the street and ask him whether he’d like to have more money, and you’ll get the same response: Absolutely.  But today’s guest, Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo and the OK Dork YouTube channel, woke up with a million dollars in his bank account, but was miserable.  Despite his success from the outside looking in, his finances didn’t fill the void his work or relationships opened. That’s when he realized that your goals aren’t nearly as important as the systems you set up to make yourself happy and fulfilled. The solution?  Well, for Noah, it meant realizing he had the power to change anything in his life he wanted.  And you know what?  Even if you don’t have a million bucks in your bank account, you have this same power inside you, waiting for you to activate it.  In this episode, Noah and I discuss…  How to take your power back in every category of your life Why optimizing for happiness and longevity is more important than long-term goals How taking action right now builds confidence and momentum Why achieving your goals won’t make you happy (and what to do instead to be happy and proud of yourself today)  And more, including:  The simple “Persistence over Resistance” mindset hack for conquering your biggest goals (2:10)  How pausing instead of instantly reacting to negative situations helps you uncover the correct course of action (7:19)  The “Now, not How” secret that crushes your limiting beliefs and keeps your momentum growing (12:09)  How to take your power back—in your finances, your fitness, your relationships, and your work (23:43)  Why taking action right now builds unshakeable confidence and unstoppable momentum (27:08)  How focusing on systems instead of goals makes you happier, more fulfilled, and often more successful (30:17)  Noah’s “Weekly Review” framework for self-assessment which has a profound impact on his happiness and success (43:28)  How thinking of new activities and habits as “experiments” makes you okay with failure (46:01)  The simple “GEBY” morning routine for enhancing almost every aspect of your life (56:09)  How setting your gratitude bar as low as possible instantly skyrockets your happiness (57:10)  Why playing “silly” games like chess or fantasy football minimizes your daily stress levels and prevents burnout (1:15:31)  Resources mentioned on the show:  1.
