Disruptor Nation, today’s episode dives straight into the heart of transformation, with no fluff.

I'm joined by Michael DeSanti, a transformational men’s coach, podcast host, and speaker on a mission to help men move from stuck and silent to aligned and activated. After hitting rock bottom himself, Michael found purpose through spirituality, mindset work, and an intentional shift toward service. And now? He’s lighting the way for others to do the same.

Here’s what we cover in this deep and grounding conversation:

• How Michael pivoted his life from burnout and emotional disconnection to mission and fulfillment

• What helped him break out of comfort culture and start feeling alive again

• The core physiology of connection and why it’s crucial for adults to build deep, bonded relationships

• Why society is making us more skeptical and isolated and how to push back with intention

• The power of nature and tech-free retreats to reconnect with purpose and dissolve trauma

• Behind the scenes of his men’s retreats in Montana and Miami and how each one heals different layers of the masculine soul

• How he's teaching his son (and men everywhere) to find truth, resilience, and integrity

• How retreats, nature, and time offline can reset your mindset and realign your path.

Michael doesn’t just talk about living a purposeful life, he embodies it. This episode is your invitation to step into something deeper, wilder, and more aligned with who you really are.
