Listen Later

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jett Stone, clinical psychologist and author of Quiet Your Mind: A Men's Guide. We explore the struggles many men face in today’s world—alienation, confusion, and lack of footing—and how to navigate this modern world with more meaning, purpose, confidence, and connection. 

We discuss:

  • Masculinity and femininity
  • Marriage, dating, and parenthood
  • Work—both paid and unpaid, including domestic labor
  • Community and friends
  • Challenges for women and couples
  • Overthinking and practical tools to overcome it


Actionable tools for men living in the modern world:

  • Journaling, writing, and finding the right language
  • Mentorship, social infrastructure, and third places
  • Joining clubs, leagues, or churches
  • Getting out of the house and putting in effort
  • Slowing down, listening to classical music
  • Embracing exercise and movement
  • Experimenting, taking small risks, and shifting perspective
  • Seeking curiosity and awe
  • Defining your values and constructing your own masculine code


Whether you're feeling lost, confused, or alone, this conversation offers practical insights to help you build a more meaningful, purpose-filled, and connected life.
