Embrace the wisdom of your years and let it shine brightly! Elderhood ain't the time to fade away - it's your time to illuminate the world with your experience and love.As we journey through life, we often think about the legacy we want to leave behind. It's a big question that can bring up all sorts of emotions - from pride to anxiety. Today, we've got two incredible guests, Stephen Jenkinson and Kimberly Johnson, who are going to help shed some light on this question. Together, we're going to explore their latest book, "Reckoning," and dive into topics like spirit work, elderhood, grief and plague, and building culture in a time where self-interest often comes first. One thing that really stood out to us is the idea that elderhood is a function, not an identity. It's pretty mind-blowing stuff, and we can't wait to delve deeper into it. So sit back, relax, and join us for an inspiring conversation with two amazing authors and thought leaders. Let's open our minds and broaden our horizons together!

For those of you who may not know George, his passion is to have uncomfortable conversations and share the ugly truths about gender equality and men's mental health.

Life is trying to sucker-punch men in the face. We are either too manly or not manly enough, but to be honest, masculinity has no definition. So, what society is trying to say is that no matter what men do, there's something wrong with us. Men have learned to fight and to put up barriers because life for us has become a boxing ring where everyone expects to get our asses kicked. Even though life is hard, today, we bring you a fascinating and inspiring episode to make your day better.

So many men come to me AFTER a breakup in shock that it happened. The conversation almost immediately starts with, “And I did everything for her, especially all the things her ex’s didn’t do.” And I know this man was doomed from the start. Why? Who really wants to date Superman? And what man can keep up this facade before falling on his face exhausted? In this solo episode I outline the Superman Complex in dating and how you can either shift it if you’re in a relationship, or avoid it in your next one.
