Sometimes fate just brings like minded people together. Today’s guest is Ronak, the creator of Serendip, an awesome platform designed to bring people together and crush loneliness.

About a year ago, I started researching everything I could about masculinity. There’s a ton of information out there, but if there’s one man, one dude, who’s been studying this stuff for 40 years and his name is Dr. Ronald Levant. There is no one who has done more work for helping men break past the ideals of masculinity. He, and his co-author, Shana Pryor, released their latest book, The Tough Standard: The Hard Truths About Masculinity and Violence a couple of weeks ago, and Levant was nice enough to sit down and chat about the book as well as go through his fascinating journey through studying all things masculinity.

I’ve been doing a lot of work around men’s support groups, and building communities which is how I got into contact with Today’s guests: Todd Adams and Frank Naugo. Together, they are the co-founders of Tribe Men’s Group, one of the best men’s groups around. We talk about a whole variety of things involving the creation of the group, masculinity as a whole, and how they’ve managed to pivot due to COVID-19.

About a year ago, I left my teaching job to pursue Dudefluencer. Nearly 25,000 page views, 94 published articles, and over 150,000 words later, I reached out to today’s guest, Milena Regos, creator of Unhustle, to understand what causes workplace burnout and how we can prevent it. She also just released an awesome class, The Unhustle Morning Course. Definitely check it out when you get a chance.
