Episode 7: The Things I Didn’t Say

In this episode, Nick finally opens the vault. He talks candidly about what happened when his first implant failed—less than a year after surgery. He explains how he discovered the device had been recalled, why no one told him, and what it really cost—financially, physically, emotionally. From $135,000 in hospital billing to a rep who never filed a warranty claim, this is the unfiltered truth about what men are never warned about.

Nick also reflects on what it means to keep showing up, even when you’ve been let down by the very system that was supposed to help. For anyone who’s been through it—or is still in it—this episode is for you.

You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.

Podcast Episode 6: When the Lights Come Back On—Life After the Implant

You made the decision. The surgery is done. But no one prepared you for what happens next—the new flaccid reality, the constant awareness, the fight to accept a body that feels unfamiliar. In this episode, we talk about the truth no one tells you after a penile implant. From concealing it under your clothes to figuring out how to use a urinal again, this is real life after Peyronie’s disease, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction.

You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And this is your second life.

Episode 5: The First Month

What they don’t tell you after penile implant surgery: you wake up 100% inflated — and stay that way for five days. You go home like that, bruised, swollen, and trying to navigate your life with a fully erect penis until your surgeon deflates you. Then the real adjustment begins.

This episode walks through the physical and emotional reality of the first month: pain management, urination challenges, concealment, learning to cycle the device, and coming to terms with a body that’s forever changed. It’s raw, real, and exactly what most men aren’t prepared for.

Episode 4 – The Turning Point: When Surgery Becomes the Only Option

After years of false hope and failed treatments for Peyronie’s disease, I reached the point no one wants to talk about—surgery. This episode dives into what it really means to face that decision, from interviewing three very different surgeons to finally finding someone who treated me like a human being.

We talk about implants—not as a last resort, but as a way forward. Not a death sentence, but a reset point. Whether you’re living with Peyronie’s, ED, or post-prostate cancer loss, this one’s for you.

You’re not broken. You’re just at the turning point.

Episode 3 – Still Standing

When the treatments don’t work—and the curve keeps getting worse—what do you do?

In this episode, we dig into the painful reality behind Peyronie’s disease treatments: from overpriced creams and failed injections to the brutal truth about Xiaflex. We talk about the obsession with tracking the curve, the emotional cost of waiting too long, and the moment a man chooses surgery—not as a fix, but as a reset.

You’ll hear about PRP, shockwave therapy, hematomas, and how marketing often dresses up as medicine. And you’ll hear why some men choose to keep standing—even when everything around them says sit down and shut up.

Not Broken Project Episode #2  THE SHAME

Episode 2 – The Shame No One Sees

In this powerful episode of the Not Broken Project podcast, host Nick dives deep into one of the most hidden and painful realities men face—shame after sexual loss. This isn’t about performance anxiety or awkward moments in the bedroom. This is about the deep, isolating silence that comes when a man loses his erection, his ability to function, and with it, a sense of who he is.

Drawing from his personal experience with Peyronie’s disease, erectile dysfunction, and eventually penile implant surgery, Nick explores how sexual injury, aging, and disfigurement can crush a man’s identity. He reflects on the quiet torment—what it’s like to avoid locker rooms, to dread dating, to feel like less of a man in a world that already tells you to toughen up and shut up.

This episode is a raw, honest look at male vulnerability, the kind no one talks about. Nick lays bare the emotional aftermath of losing the ability to be sexual, and how that loss can fuel depression, social withdrawal, and even suicidal thoughts. It’s not just about the body—it’s about the soul.

But it’s not just despair. This is also the beginning of reclaiming your masculinity, redefining your worth, and saying, I’m still here. Whether you’ve gone through Peyronie’s, ED, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), or the emotional wreckage of aging, this episode is for you—or for the man you love who’s been suffering in silence.

Topics covered:

• The emotional cost of Peyronie’s disease and ED
• Why male shame is invisible but deadly
• The truth about penile implants and reclaiming function
• What no one tells you about aging, intimacy, and identity
• The silence men are taught to live in—and how to break it

The Not Broken Project is a raw, real podcast about reclaiming male identity after loss — physical, emotional, sexual, or otherwise.

We explore what it means to be a man in a world that often shames vulnerability and ignores the deeper struggles men face. From Peyronie’s disease to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), from erectile dysfunction to post-surgical recovery, from shame to silence — we confront the topics most men are too afraid to talk about.

Whether you’re navigating aging, sexual dysfunction, emotional trauma, or simply trying to feel whole again — this podcast is for you.

This isn’t medical advice. It’s lived experience, brutal honesty, and a refusal to disappear.

You’re not broken. You’re still here.
