Today, I sit down with Timothy Wienecke, a licensed mental health clinician, men’s advocate, and host of The American Masculinity Podcast. Mr. Wienecke brings nearly a decade of clinical experience working with men, veterans, and first responders, combined with his years of service in the Air Force advocating against interpersonal violence and sexual assault. In this conversation, we get into masculinity, consent, men’s mental health, and the unique challenges men face in today’s culture.

Mr. Wienecke shares his journey from military service to mental health advocacy, and the pivotal moments that shaped his mission to help men without diminishing the needs of others. We unpack the realities of male sexual assault survivors, the barriers that keep men from reporting, and how societal attitudes—like joking about prison rape—can silence victims. He offers insight into how definitions of masculinity have shifted, how disempowerment can lead men astray, and why the conversation about men’s well-being must be approached with both compassion and accountability.

We also explore Mr. Wienecke’s work on The American Masculinity Podcast, where he addresses suicide prevention, trauma, cultural perspectives on manhood, and practical tools for personal growth. His message is clear: men are not meant to be islands. Building genuine connections, finding community, and rejecting the myth of total self-reliance are essential to living a healthier, more fulfilled life. Whether you’re a man seeking guidance or someone who loves and supports the men in your life, this episode offers valuable takeaways for creating a culture of respect, empathy, and mutual growth.
