Our guest today is George Sellner. George is a member of the EVRYMAN Group in Oakland, California and what really stood out from this conversation is the importance and magnitude of the sacred space that is created in a group of men when we're not there to help anyone and we're just there to experience what it is that we are experiencing, in that moment.

George believes that this work can change the world, which is doubly meaningful coming from him. George is the founder and teaching artist at One Heart Music, where he teaches and creates spaces for families to connect with their kids through playing and creating music.

Today on the show we have Tom Henle from the Oakland EVRYMAN men's group. This conversation was recorded about three months ago and in it, he reflects on everything from joy to purpose to anger and his experience of his life after finding men’s work. We get into his path to finding EVRYMAN, his relationship with his boys and his life now.

We are so thankful for this conversation, this platform and the gift of hearing and sharing these stories. Meeting all different types of men through this work is something that we can all benefit from, even if we do not know that we want or need it!

Welcome back, this is episode 4 of the Unshakable Man Podcast! Today we are joined by Steve Disselhorst in the studio for a deep conversation about his personal men's work story. Steve is one of nine men we are interviewing for this first stretch of the podcast. These conversations were collected some months ago while the idea for the show was just a seed.

What stands out about Steve is his courage. As a gay man, showing up to a group of unknown men and expressing his fears of this exact action is truly remarkable. This expression of what this terror felt like was such a gift to the group and lit up the whole meeting by showing just how powerful men's work can be.

We’re kicking off Episode 2 with an exploration of what it’s like to be in a men’s group. This is an intimate setting and those who haven’t been in one of these groups might not understand what it’s all about. 

Our guest today is EVRYMAN member Alex Zajic who is here to share with us what immense impact this group has had on his life. What surprised him most was learning how different people are how it was not as “heavy” as he thought it would be. Still, he talks about the value of sharing emotions openly and having other people listen and give you the space to be in that moment without offering advice or bombarding you with questions. 

Welcome to the first real episode of the Unshakable Man Podcast! Joining us for this show is Peter Reiseman to talk about his experiences in men's groups and the benefits he has experienced since taking part in these sessions. 

This casual and friendly conversation naturally winds through reflections and thoughts on men's work as we try and highlight some important pillars of attending group sessions. Peter admits that before he actually decided to take part in a group, he had some preconceived notions of why it did not really interest him. 

Welcome to the very first episode of the Unshakable Man Podcast! In this episode, we are taking the opportunity to introduce our podcast and newsletter and share a bit of what you can expect in the coming episodes. 

The Unshakable Man Podcast is a resource exploring men’s challenges, men’s stories, and men’s work. 

Our mission is clear: to help men slow down and connect with who they are, help men gain new perspectives on what it means to be a man, and provide men resources that will help them grow and learn.
