Today’s conversation is with George Bryant

As far back as George Bryant can remember, he has searched for someone to tell him he was okay. Born as a baby addicted to cocaine to a mother with severe mental illness and a dysfunctional family, life was never “okay”.

He talks openly now of stories of abuse – both physical and sexual, of driving his father’s Harley Davidson through the door of a shed at four years old, of violence, bullying, self-harm, eating disorders… screaming for attention, screaming for validation, desperate to feel loved, desperate to just feel.

Every lesson he teaches comes from his journey back to love and, once you know what to look for, you see it everywhere: ‘fulfillment’ sequences, ‘nurture’ sequences, ‘out-caring’ competition.

In this episode we talk about:

George’s story

Being addicted to our own stories

Bonding over stress and trauma

Men and eating disorders and exercise culture

Awareness as a practice

The mask of accomplishment

Stoicism for men

Season 3 Episode 1 - Luke DePron by Men at Work Podcast hosted by Travis Streb

Today’s conversation is with John Finch

John Finch is a speaker, author and filmmaker dedicated to helping people heal the wounds from their fathers.

When he lost his father to suicide at the age of 11, he avoided confronting his wounds. He craved affirmation from a father who was not there to provide it, leading him to seek substitute assurance from the world in various unhealthy ways. He created a false persona – existing only to pursue money and becoming a “social alcoholic” – that left him completely unfulfilled.

It was only when Finch came to terms with the unresolved issues of his father-wound that he could begin to find fulfilment.

Finch, now married for 26 years and father to three daughters aged 22, 19 and 14, has devoted his life to helping others address anger and hurt in their lives. In 2015 he founded the Encouraging Dads Project, a site dedicated to helping men become better and stronger fathers, and in December 2016 released The Father Effect, a documentary exploring his experiences, the lasting impact of fathers and the importance of forgiveness. He has also published a book by the same name.

In this episode we talk about:

John’s struggles as a young man growing up without a father

The Father Wound and how it shows up in our lives

FInding forgiveness for our fathers

Men and vulnerability

Conscious parenting

Dennis Rodman, Steve Jobs and more!
