Talking points: addiction, masculinity

This mini-episode is a bit of a departure in style, but the topic is deeply important to me. Most men have an uncanny ability to push forward despite intense pain and suffering. That can be a blessing in times of hardship, but it can also turn on you.

(00:00:00) - Intro and the skill of being silent about your suffering
(00:02:40) - We look down on men for doing this, but oftentimes it’s a blessing
(00:03:33) - The curse is this
(00:05:03) - “There’s a hungry ghost in the basement of my heart”
(00:09:40) - Why I wrote this
