About Timeless Talks Podcast:

Timeless Talk listeners will experience a dynamic and intergenerational perspective on masculinity. They will get to experience unique stories from men and boys of all ages that are relatable and focused on mental health issues. By having a dynamic group of participants that are real and talk about real issues our listeners will feel that they are not in this alone, and others are experiencing similar issues and persevere through them. There is a way through, it’s not just me - type of connection. 

We want the listeners to relate to each generation through their own personal journey and by witnessing their parents, grandparents, brothers, uncles, nephews, and children. 

We started this show to bridge the generational gap in our male community. To connect our seniors with the greater community, honor their life experience, and pass down their wisdom. To connect our youth to the greater community, acknowledge them and their intrinsic wisdom and guide them into manhood. And pass up their wisdom and advice so we can pave the way for the next wave of masculine leaders. Currently, we are lacking healthy rights of passage and we believe it is essential for our conscious human evolution. We want to connect the adult generation, and hold them accountable for being the bridge, and creating a legacy of awareness that is a pearl of living wisdom.
