Like a grumpy old man, with every episode he listens to, he lurks in the shadows ,grumbling under his breath about the amount of banter he has to fast forward through just to get to the main topic of the episode. In Episode 57, Ethan Riddle, who hates banter, joins Nick for a special interview. Could Nick get him to banter? And can you guess who actually loves our banter....?

Men are not designed to live to just die; to consume and not contribute. Men were designed to be builders and providers. In this episode, Shane and Nick discuss the importance of men building something better by adding value to their part of the world.

Most men look successful on the outside but feel broken on the inside. Behind the confidence, the hustle, and the “I’m good” replies, millions of men are silently struggling with low self-esteem, deep insecurity, and the painful feeling that they’re just not enough. In this episode, we dive into the hidden male mental health crisis that almost no one talks about. We explore what's behind the facade and how to build confidence in yourself. If you’re a man who doesn’t like the guy staring back at you in the mirror — or if you know someone who is struggling — this conversation will hit hard and give you hope. This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about facing the truth and finally getting free from insecurity. ...Drop a comment: What’s one thing that hurts your self-esteem the most as a man?
