Daniel Ellenberg is the president of Relationships That Work – an organization that supports people to create more emotionally intelligent personal relationships – and vice president of the Rewire Leadership Institute, an organization that helps individuals, teams and organizations thrive in the business world. He is also the founder and director of Strength with Heart men’s groups and workshops, and co-author of Lovers for Life: Creating Lasting Passion, Trust and True Partnership, which he co-wrote with his wife, Judith Bell. He has spent over 10,000 hours facilitating groups and workshops over the last quarter century and wrote his Ph.D. dissertation on how men can experience greater inner strength and positive relationships by transcending limited aspects of traditional male roles.

To start the conversation, Casey asks about Daniel's background, including the organizations that he has founded/been part of.  Josh asks about his original motivations for getting into the field. Daniel's responses on compassion cause Casey to ask why men were never taught how to be compassionate before Josh asks about the origins of masculinity.

Moving forward, Casey asks Daniel for a mental tool guide that men can use before and Josh asks about why we have an abundance of therapists but not life coaches and the differences between life coaching and therapy. Next, Casey asks about the value of men's groups. Daniel describes the experiences he has seen personally. Josh questions why society has pushed masculinity onto men.

To wrap things up, Casey asks Daniel about the loneliness epidemic and what we can do to stop it. Lastly, Josh asks about fixing the educational/parental system so that the next generation of men do not face the same woes of the current one.
