Man to Man with Logan and Ben

What happens when your partner makes more—and why can that feel threatening?

This week on Man to Man with Logan and Ben, we unpack money, masculinity, and the pressure to provide. From tying your self-worth to your paycheck to navigating different incomes, we explore how money can shape confidence, power, and resentment in a relationship.

Does earning more give you more say? What counts as providing beyond paying the bills? Can you celebrate your partner’s success without questioning your own?

An honest conversation about ego, partnership, and what your family can count on you for beyond your income.

One year of Man to Man with Logan and Ben! In this anniversary episode, we catch up on life, share what's been happening personally, and reflect on a year of honest conversations about masculinity, relationships, fatherhood, and personal growth.

Then we dive into a topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention: the male body-image crisis.

From muscle dysmorphia, steroids, and TRT to extreme dieting, hair loss, height, penis size, aging, and sexual performance, we're breaking down the insecurities men rarely talk about.

When does fitness become self-hatred? Are muscular men actually more confident, or just better at hiding insecurity? Has social media created an impossible standard for the male body? And why do so many men feel like they'll never be big enough, lean enough, or good enough?

We explore the pressure to look a certain way, the pursuit of validation, and what happens when a man's self-worth becomes tied to his appearance.

One year in, we're still having the conversations that matter, challenging expectations, and redefining what it means to be a man.

In this episode of Man to Man with Logan and Ben, we sit down with Andy Torgersen for a raw and honest conversation about addiction, recovery, fatherhood, and finding a deeper sense of purpose.

Andy shares his journey through addiction, the challenges he faced while trying to find his way, and the lessons he learned while rebuilding his life. We discuss how parenthood can completely shift a man’s priorities, why recovery involves more than simply walking away from addiction, and what it means to create a life worth staying present for.

This conversation is about accepting responsibility without allowing your past to define you. It’s about becoming the man, father, and example you know you’re capable of being—and finding a “why” powerful enough to carry you through the days when motivation disappears.

If you’ve ever felt lost, struggled to move beyond your past, or questioned what you’re fighting for, this episode is for you.

No hacks. No hype. No bullshit. Just an honest conversation about addiction, purpose, parenthood, and finding your way forward.

Your phone was supposed to make life easier. Instead, it may be changing the way you experience your life.

In this episode, Logan and Ben are joined by Anthony Brickhouse to break down what constant connection is doing to our attention, relationships, and ability to be present. We get into social media comparison, cyberbullying, phantom vibrations, phishing and online manipulation, porn, outrage, short-form content, and the endless stream of stimulation competing for our attention.

Why has boredom become so uncomfortable? Why do we automatically reach for our phones during every quiet moment? And what happens when everyone else’s highlight reel starts making our own lives feel like they’re not enough?

We also talk about what this is doing to our relationships, our kids, and the moments happening right in front of us.

Maybe your life isn’t boring. Maybe you’ve just trained your brain to need constant stimulation.

Put the phone down. Look around. Your actual life is happening right now.

Episode 15 — What Every Man Learns Too Late

Guest Host: Anthony Brickhouse

We spend a lot of our lives believing there will always be more time—more time to get healthy, repair relationships, chase what matters, or become the person we know we should be.

In Episode 15, we sit down with guest host Anthony Brickhouse to talk about the lessons men often don't understand until life forces them to. We get into the value of time, the work required to maintain meaningful relationships, why taking care of your health is a long-term investment, and what regret can teach us when we're willing to listen.

EP14 — The Male Friendship ProblemEpisode Summary

For many men, making friends gets harder with age. Careers, relationships, parenting, and responsibilities slowly replace the time and intentionality that friendships require. Many men find themselves surrounded by people yet lacking the deep brotherhood they once had. In this episode, Logan and Ben discuss why male friendships are disappearing, how isolation affects mental and physical health, and what it takes to build meaningful relationships as adults.

Take inventory of your circle. If you don't have men in your life who know the real you, start building those relationships today. One text, one coffee, one conversation could become the friendship that changes both your lives.

In this episode of Man to Man with Logan and Ben, we explore a question many men avoid until life forces them to answer it: Who are you when what you do is no longer available to define you? From careers and achievements to status and success, many men build their identity around performance. But what happens when the job ends, the business fails, or the title disappears? Logan and Ben discuss why tying self-worth to achievement creates a fragile foundation and how men can build an identity rooted in values, character, and purpose that survives every season of life.

• The impact of porn on intimacy, relationships, and self-worth
• Recovery, accountability, and rebuilding trust
