Most men have zero foxhole buddies. Not because they don't want them — but because they keep choosing comfort over the risk of being truly known. Nick Papadopoulos has spent 23 years building men's groups, and Jake Fishbein has spent the last decade inside them. Together they've written a novel about what it actually looks like when men stop spectating and enter the arena. It became an Amazon bestseller. This conversation is the unfiltered backstory.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
Why the "I'm too busy" excuse is almost always a lie men tell themselves — and what it's actually protecting
What it means to be a foxhole buddy versus a fair-weather friend, and how to build those relationships before the 3AM crisis call
How the Arena Men's Group model identifies the exact moment a man is about to leave his own growth — and what to do about it
Why being in a men's group on Monday doesn't mean you're in the arena on Tuesday — the real measure of the work
What Nick's 50-year friendship taught him about how deep a single conversation can go when men finally get honest
Why the work you do in a men's circle doesn't stop at you — and why your wife is probably your men's group's biggest fan
Grab the book, find your foxhole, and stop being a spectator in your own life.
Listen to the Mankind Project podcast for interviews from the leading edge of #MensWork. Episode 262 is out now - Why Intentional Fathering Is How We Heal the Father Wound with Ian and John https://t.co/6DPKKIBUVP
There's a wound most men carry and rarely name: the father wound. In this episode, Boysen sits down with Ian Schwartz and John Harrington — co-founders of the Intentional Fathers Initiative — to talk about why intentional fathering isn't just good parenting advice, it's how generational wounds actually get healed.
Ian and John build what they call "father-focused men's work" — spaces where men bring their real challenges as fathers into the container of men's work: naming the father wound directly, examining what was passed down, and choosing, on purpose, what to carry forward and what to leave behind. They talk about violence in its many forms, including the quiet kind — a father who's present in body but absent everywhere that matters. They break down the four pillars of men's work (accountability, integrity, vulnerability, authenticity) applied to fatherhood, and make the case that self-care isn't optional — it's what makes healing possible at all.
If you're carrying a father wound, raising kids of your own, or both — this conversation offers a real path forward, not just a reframe.

Listen to the Mankind Project podcast for interviews from the leading edge of #MensWork. Episode 260 is out now - 261 - Stop Meditating Alone: The Real Reason Most Men Quit - with Toby Sola - https://t.co/g8iNfUf15e
Toby Sola has spent two decades teaching meditation — years of it inside a monastery, refined through close work with world-renowned teacher Shinzen Young. Today he runs Bright Mind, an app built on one guiding principle: as simple as possible, but no simpler.
In this conversation, Toby and Boysen talk about what monastic life actually teaches you — not mystical secrets, but community and humility, the two things that turned out to matter most. They dig into why so many men try meditation once, get frustrated with their own "monkey mind," and never come back — and what's usually missing (hint: it's often not more discipline, it's community and structure). Toby walks through how Bright Mind is designed as a guided journey rather than a random library, so progress actually builds instead of resetting every time you open the app.
The conversation goes deep into the parts of practice nobody warns you about: the doubt that shows up right when things start to open up, the strange sense of space and time dissolving, and the nihilism that can surface when you get quiet enough to really look. Toby's take is grounded and useful — sometimes the answer isn't more meditation, it's fixing something in your actual life: a relationship, a career decision, a worldview you're ready to let go of.
Whether you've never meditated or you've been sitting for years, this episode offers a clear, unpretentious map for a practice that's often made either too complicated or too watered down to matter.

Men's sexuality is under siege from every direction — algorithmic porn, AI girlfriends engineered to extract money by never actually satisfying you, and a culture that hasn't given men a single useful framework for talking about any of it. Taylor Johnson has spent seven years in the field helping men overcome sexual dysfunction, anxiety, and disconnection. What he's seeing in 2026 is unlike anything from even two years ago.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
• Why short-form video and constant digital stimulation are measurably destroying men's capacity to be present during sex
• How AI girlfriend apps are deliberately designed to hook men in a cycle of wanting without ever delivering — and what that does to a teenage brain
• Why women still deeply want connection and great sex with men, even in the current cultural climate
• The exact approach to opening a conversation with your partner about sex, safety, and the headlines that are affecting both of you
• How to recognize when you've hit your capacity in a hard conversation and what to do instead of going off the rails
• Why sexual leadership has nothing to do with dominance and everything to do with attunement, safety, and showing up prepared
If you've been avoiding this conversation — with yourself or your partner — this is the episode that ends that.
Listen to the Mankind Project podcast for interviews from the leading edge of #MensWork. Episode 257 is out now - Respect Is NOT What You Think It Is with Dr. Julie Pham - https://t.co/pPSpH1ehe0
What if most conflicts about respect aren't actually about respect? In this fascinating conversation, Boysen sits down with historian, researcher, TEDx speaker, and author Dr. Julie Pham to explore one of the most misunderstood words in our culture: respect.
Most of us assume we know what respect means. We ask for it. We expect it. We feel hurt when we don't receive it. But Dr. Pham's research suggests something surprising: while people generally agree on how respect feels, they often disagree dramatically on what respectful behavior actually looks like.
Drawing from her bestselling book, The 7 Forms of Respect, Julie introduces a practical framework for understanding why misunderstandings happen at work, at home, in friendships, and in communities. She explains how our experiences, culture, family systems, and generational influences shape our expectations—and why curiosity may be the missing ingredient in so many difficult conversations.

Listen to the Mankind Project podcast for interviews from the leading edge of #MensWork. Episode 256 is out now - The 90-Day Practice That Turns Comfort-Addicted Men Into Men With Agency with Dane Sanders - https://t.co/HeKCUyeBE0
Most men wait for hardship to teach them resilience. Dane Sanders watched his best friend Tim Kruger — an Ironman triathlete — die of stomach cancer at 50. Tim's parting insight: "I'm really glad I practiced voluntary discomfort before involuntary discomfort chose me." That single line became the foundation of everything Dane has built since. This is a conversation about mortality, meaning, and why choosing the hard thing is actually the smartest move any man can make.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
• Why the world's default setting is hardship — not comfort — and what changes when you stop treating difficulty as an anomaly
• How Tim Kruger's death reshaped Dane's entire understanding of what it means to live fully, not just survive well
• The difference between fitting in and belonging — and why one builds agency while the other quietly hollows you out
• What happens inside the Men and Women of Discomfort 90-day program and why people crash out over creamer in their coffee
• How "microdosing discomfort" prepares you for the storms you can't predict, control, or negotiate out of
• Why Anthony DeMello's warning about sleepwalking through life is the most important thing men aren't taking seriously
If you've been waiting for a reason to stop playing it safe, this is the episode.

Young men are drowning, and the algorithm is doing it on purpose. Within 17 seconds on YouTube, three-quarters of a young man's suggested content steers him straight into the manosphere. Meanwhile, the men who've actually done the inner work are sitting on the sidelines. Jordan Bowman isn't waiting for a viral moment to fix it. He's been in the field for over a decade building something that actually works.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
• Why mentorship is your civic duty — and why it matters more than voting or paying taxes
• The simple first step any man can take today to connect with a young person already in his life
• How to show up as a mentor without giving unsolicited advice or projecting your own experience onto him
• Why "presence over perfection" is the only qualification you actually need to get started
• The Frodo-to-Gandalf arc: how to transition from hero of your own story to guide for the next generation
• What Jordan's father did when he was 14 that changed the entire trajectory of his life — and how you can recreate it for the boys in yours
If this conversation fires something up in you, don't sit on it. Find the most accessible way into mentorship and go give your gifts.

What kind of people does a healthy democracy require?
In this thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation, Boysen sits down with author, purpose guide, and ManKind Project brother Brandon Peele to explore the deeper questions underneath our current cultural moment: belonging, responsibility, freedom, purpose, and what it means to grow into mature adulthood in a fractured world.
Brandon returns to the podcast to discuss his new book, Bison Medicine: The Cure for a Troubled Nation, where he offers a provocative but hopeful vision for healing division—not through outrage or ideology, but through purpose, community, rites of passage, and what he calls a return to “good mind.”

What does it actually take to build a strong, lasting relationship?
In this episode, Boysen sits down with Rich and Laurie Riedman—veterans of the ManKind Project and leaders in couples work for over three decades. Together, they explore the deeper mechanics of relationship growth, conflict, and connection.
At the heart of their work is a powerful idea: a relationship is not just two people—it’s a third entity that must be nurtured, strengthened, and protected.
Rich and Laurie break down:
Why many relationships hit a turning point around the 7-year mark
How unconscious patterns from childhood show up in partnership
The concept of the relationship as a “container” for growth
Why conflict isn’t the problem—but how we approach it is
The shift from “me vs. you” to “us vs. the issue”
Practical tools for communication, emotional safety, and repair
They also share simple daily practices that can transform connection—like eye gazing, intentional touch, gratitude rituals, and recognizing emotional bids for attention.
Whether you’re in a thriving relationship, feeling disconnected, or navigating real challenges, this conversation offers grounded insight and practical tools to deepen intimacy and understanding.
This isn’t about fixing your partner.
It’s about showing up differently—together.
Listen to the Mankind Project podcast for interviews from the leading edge of #MensWork. Episode 250 is out now - Stop Using Logic to Design Your Life — It's Keeping You Stuck with Gregory Russell Benedikt - https://t.co/OveZM4RZ18
Most men spend years gathering the right information, waiting for the perfect moment, and convincing themselves the stakes are too high to act. Gregory Russell Benedikt ran a different experiment — 100 consecutive days of deliberately seeking rejection from strangers. What the data showed is almost impossible to believe: out of 100 attempts, only one interaction went genuinely negative. The rest? Laughter, connection, viral moments, and a relationship with the woman he'd spend the next three years with. This episode is a direct challenge to the logic-first framework most high-achieving men have been operating from their entire adult lives.
Gregory and Brandon break down why the no you're afraid of is almost never about you, why the real cost of inaction is staying exactly where you are, and how 'courageous connection' is the actual mechanism behind every bold outcome Gregory has experienced — from co-founding a nonprofit with a stranger he met online to walking across a crowded restaurant to introduce himself to a woman sitting with another man. They also dig into Ikigai, the Japanese framework for life purpose built on four intersections — what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for — and why community, not coaching or therapy alone, may be the most underrated accelerant available to men right now.
If you've been sitting on a gift, a business idea, a conversation you haven't started, or a life that doesn't quite fit — this episode is your signal to stop collecting information and start implementing your flawed plan.

What if thinking isn’t always your greatest asset?
In this episode, Boysen sits down with psychotherapist, meditation teacher, and author Charles Eigen to explore the surprising ways our thinking can become a barrier to clarity, connection, and peace.

How “parts” of ourselves can hijack our reactions
The role of awareness as the deeper ground of who we are
Practical tools to shift from reactivity to presence
How to bring mindfulness into conflict and communication
This conversation offers a grounded, compassionate approach to personal growth—one that doesn’t try to eliminate thoughts, but instead helps us relate to them differently.

Listen to the Mankind Project podcast for interviews from the leading edge of #MensWork. Episode 247 is out now - Building a New Frontier of Men’s Work; the BIG TENT SUMMIT - https://t.co/QJprNos65Q
This episode brings together Chris Kyle, George Kansas, and Tim Wade—co-founders of the Big Tent Summit—for a grounded and expansive conversation about the evolving landscape of men’s work.
Drawing on over a century of combined experience, they explore the shift from early mythopoetic men’s work to today’s diverse and rapidly expanding ecosystem of support for men. The conversation highlights a growing cultural openness: more men investing in personal development, therapy, and emotional growth—and more pathways than ever to do that work.
At the heart of the episode is the Big Tent Summit itself—a gathering designed not to resolve differences, but to hold them. The group discusses the intentional inclusion of diverse voices, the friction that naturally arises when perspectives collide, and why that tension is actually a sign of progress.
They also introduce the Big Tent Collective, an ongoing community fostering collaboration, resource sharing, and real-world impact between summits.
This episode is an invitation into a larger conversation—one that challenges rigid definitions of masculinity and opens the door to something more inclusive, more integrated, and more human.
