Phil Hilton,  was a magazine editor and writer, shares his journey from the 'lad mag' era of the 90s to his current endeavors in midlife fitness writing. 

We reminisce about the influence of 90s lad culture and the lifestyle fantasies they spun, shaping perceptions of masculinity for a generation. 

Together, we unpack how cultural shifts have redefined modern masculinity and the unique hurdles today's youth face in this algorithm-driven world.

Phil also opens up about the personal toll of professional setbacks, including the pressures of seeing a publication fail and the crucial journey of reclaiming one's confidence. 

Managing work and personal life becomes an essential theme, with reflections on maintaining boundaries to preserve well-being. 

This candid dialogue celebrates the authenticity of the human experience and the lessons gleaned from life’s peaks and valleys.
