Walking, Talking, and Building Connection with Mark Greene

In this powerful episode of the ManKind Podcast, host Boysen Hodgson sits down with Mark Greene, author and advocate for healthy masculinity, to discuss an inspiring grassroots movement: Walking, Talking Men. This simple yet profound initiative helps men foster deep friendships through regular, low-pressure walks in their own neighborhoods.

Key Highlights:

  • From Isolation to Connection – Mark shares his personal journey of realizing his own social isolation and taking a simple but bold step: starting weekly walks with other men in his neighborhood.
  • The Power of Casual Conversations – Unlike structured men's groups, these walks provide an easy entry point for men to build friendships without pressure, expectations, or cost.
  • Expanding the Movement – What started as a small neighborhood initiative in New York is now spreading to other cities, proving the deep need for real-life male friendships.
  • Why Men Struggle with Friendship – The episode explores how cultural messages about masculinity condition men to disengage from close friendships and the profound consequences of social isolation.
  • A Radical Yet Simple Act – Mark and Boysen discuss how stepping outside the "man box" and simply walking and talking can be a revolutionary act in reclaiming human connection.
  • A Call to Action – Inspired listeners are encouraged to visit walkingtalkingmen.org and start their own local walks—no fees, no complex rules, just real connection.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that true strength lies in relationships, and the simple act of showing up can change lives.
