Marriage is supposed to change you.

But what if that's not what it's really doing?

What if the relationships that matter most aren't changing us at all...
...they're revealing us?

In this episode of Kryptonite, I follow a question that started with my own marriage and unexpectedly led me into one of the biggest questions of our time.

Why are millions of people forming emotional relationships with artificial intelligence?

And what does that reveal about us?

This investigation isn't about technology.
It's about human nature.

Everybody has kryptonite.
What's yours?

I stopped asking women to dance.

Not because I stopped wanting love.

 Because I found something... that never rejected me.

At the time, I thought I was solving a problem.

I had no idea I was creating a much bigger one.

Years later... I started seeing the exact same pattern show up somewhere completely unexpected.


Maybe the question isn't... "What is AI doing to us?"

Maybe the better question is... "What have we been replacing all along?" -

One night... my 7-year-old son asked me a question I wasn't expecting.
It changed the direction of this entire episode.

Everybody has kryptonite.

Sometimes it doesn't look dangerous.

Sometimes it looks... helpful.

This episode begins with a bedtime story.

It ends with a question I still can't answer.

Everybody has kryptonite.

Bring it to light.

Reclaim your might.

The battle for our attention has never been more intense. Most people don't even realize they're fighting it.

Technology is transforming the way we work, communicate, learn, and connect. With artificial intelligence accelerating that change, the challenge isn't escaping technology. It's learning how to use it without letting it use us.

Eric Zuzack sits down with bestselling author, licensed family therapist, and parenting expert Thomas Kersting to explore how smartphones, social media, and artificial intelligence are reshaping our attention, relationships, and the next generation. Together, they discuss practical ways to build healthier boundaries, strengthen real-world connections, and protect what matters most in an increasingly digital world.

Most people know what's wrong with the world. Few can answer a much more important question: What's your kryptonite?

We all have something that quietly weakens us. It may be fear, pride, pornography, anger, approval, comfort, or distraction. Left unidentified, it grows in the shadows. But the moment we recognize it, we begin to take away its power.

Identifying your kryptonite isn't about guilt or shame, it's about awareness. Eric Zuzack explores why every person has vulnerabilities, why pretending they don't exist only makes them stronger, and why the path to a stronger life begins with the courage to honestly answer one simple question: What's your kryptonite?

A man spends his life pulling drowning people from a river. Then one day, he asks a question no one else has asked: Who is pushing them in?

That simple question changes the way we think about addiction, identity, parenting, and prevention. For too long, we've focused on rescuing people after the damage is done while ignoring the forces pulling people downstream in the first place. What if the greatest impact isn't found in rescuing more people, but in walking upstream?

In the premiere episode of Kryptonite, Eric Zuzack shares the story that became the foundation of the podcast and the mission behind it. Together, we'll explore why hidden vulnerabilities, early exposure, and the silent forces that weaken us often begin long before anyone notices the consequences. If we want stronger men, healthier families, and a better future for our children, we have to stop living downstream and start asking better questions upstream.

After years of coaching men from around the world, I discovered a pattern that showed up again and again.

No matter their age, background, career, relationship status, or level of success, there was one thing they all had in common.

In this final episode of Porn Talk, I share the biggest lesson I've learned from working with men struggling with pornography addiction and why it has completely changed the direction of my mission.

This episode is more than a farewell. It's the beginning of a new chapter.Inside this episode you'll discover:

• The common thread I found in nearly every addiction story
• Why the problem often starts much earlier than most people realize
• The realization that changed my mission forever
• Why prevention may be more important than recovery
• Why I'm ending Porn Talk
• What's next with my new show, Kryptonite.

To every listener, guest, client, and supporter who has been part of this journey, thank you. Your support has meant more than I can express.
