What happens when life takes everything from you—and you’re forced to decide who you become next?

In this deeply moving conversation, Mark Divine sits down with Cody Lakefield, co-founder of Long Ship Men and Look Health, to explore the intersection of trauma, healing, proactive health, brotherhood, and purpose.

Cody shares his journey through profound personal loss, responsibility, and suffering—and how those experiences led him to build systems that help men reclaim ownership of their health, their inner lives, and their relationships with other men.

From personalized biomarker testing and preventative health… to grief, PTSD, faith, and the power of men rowing together… this episode is about moving from survival to meaning.

If you’re a leader, father, entrepreneur, or man navigating pressure in silence, this conversation offers a different path forward—one rooted in awareness, courage, and community.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why proactive health matters more than “sick care”

How understanding biomarkers gives you agency over your body

Why trauma doesn’t resolve itself through willpower alone

The danger of carrying everything in isolation

How brotherhood accelerates healing and resilience

Why purpose is often forged through suffering, not comfort

How to move from surviving life to living it intentionally
