As a guy, do you wish your friendships with other men were more emotionally fulfilling? Do you feel like you need to be stoic, posture, or adhere to outdated locker room norms of masculinity when it comes to hanging with your mates?

My guests on the show today, Wes and Liam, two of the four co-hosts from the ever-insightful podcast, 'The Modern Dandy’s Guide to Manliness' (@thedandiesguide), are on a mission to help men confidently voice their feelings over a cocktail with their mates just as easily as they’d dissect the curves of a sports car over a pint.

Forgoing traditional posturing (but never ditching the banter), the guys prove that the podcast waves can be a safe space to examine tough topics like toxic masculinity and alpha male culture. We also show ARRIVED. listeners how guys can craft their homes to reflect self-awareness, and encourage openness in communication between their friends (and lovers).

Season 2 of 'The Modern Dandy's Guide to Manliness' is out now, wherever you get your podcasts.  You can also learn more about the guys at themoderndandy.life or follow them on Instagram @thedandiesguide.
