In this powerful roundtable episode of the Kreatures of Habit Podcast, host Michael Chernow brings together an inspiring group of thinkers, creators, and community builders, the founders of Pathos, along with guests Josh Bodkin, Brian Pruett, Colin Pasque, and Ryan Tuttle, for a deep conversation about connection, meaning, and the future of male friendship.

The group explores what it truly means to live with intention in a world overflowing with distraction. They dive into the mission behind Pathos, the importance of emotional honesty, and why cultivating real friendships has become one of the greatest challenges and greatest opportunities for men today.

This roundtable opens up about purpose, vulnerability, daily habits, and the kind of community that actually nourishes you. Their perspectives blend story and strategy, offering listeners a grounded roadmap for living more authentically.

You’ll hear insights on:

• Why success is really about meaning, connection, and emotional courage
• The heart behind Pathos and how it’s building a new culture of deeper relationships
• How men can create real, consistent friendships that last
• Escaping comparison and tech-induced numbness
• The power of vulnerability, rest, and spiritual alignment
• How intentional habits can transform purpose and self-worth

This episode is a reminder to slow down, choose depth over distraction, and build a life rooted in the relationships that matter most.
