Men today are giving more than ever—working long hours, carrying the load at home, fixing every problem… yet still feeling overlooked, dismissed, or outright disrespected.

In this episode, Rich & Justin break down The Respect Gap — the growing divide between what men give and what they get back. From relationships, to workplaces, to society at large, millions of men are quietly struggling with feeling unseen and undervalued.

We get into:

• Why men are exhausted from giving with no acknowledgment
• How “bare minimum” culture undermines male effort
• The rise of contempt in relationships
• Why boundaries are the first step to gaining respect
• How men accidentally signal they can be disrespected
• Self-respect as the foundation of every other respect you receive
• Real stories: disrespect at work, at home, in public
• What healthy masculine boundaries look like
• Actionable steps every man can take today to regain respect
