He bravely confronts his battles with alcohol, drug, and sex addiction, revealing the grit and resilience required to overcome these challenges. His narrative is a testament to the power of transformation and redemption.

His raw reflections on the turbulent years characterized by destructive patterns in relationships are both enlightening and cathartic, offering a rare glimpse into his transformative path toward sobriety, celibacy, and the pursuit of becoming a man deserving of love.

This episode is an exploration into the human spirit's capacity for vulnerability, humility, and profound healing. Steve-O's story is a powerful beacon for anyone seeking inspiration on their path of personal growth.

“I was actually treating them specifically the way I most fear being treated myself. It's just like using people up and throwing them away and and I knew exactly what a piece of shit I was so I promised myself I'm not gonna act out anymore.”

“I felt strongly that my mission was to become the man that the love of my life deserves, I needed to do that because like there was no such thing for me as meeting the love of my life 'cause I would have been useless to that person.”

They delve into the heart of masculinity, and personal growth (03:19) as they explore vulnerability as an untapped strength among men, share personal anecdotes of growth and self-awareness, and confront the often overlooked necessity of self-care amidst the call of service to others (06:52).

In a surprisingly uplifting discussion, mental health and gun control advocate Aaron Stark shares his harrowing journey from a childhood marred by extreme abuse and instability to the brink of becoming a school shooter. Stark's candid narrative begins with his early years, dominated by a violent father and a life of constant upheaval, leading to feelings of worthlessness and self-harm. His descent into darkness was halted only by the simple, yet profound, act of kindness from a friend, illustrating the transformative power of empathy and connection.

Through this episode, we explore the essence of healthy masculinity and the critical role of vulnerability in mental health. Stark's story is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the ability to reclaim life from the shadows of despair. His journey from violence to vulnerability highlights the importance of male friendship, understanding, and the courage to break free from the cycles of abuse and self-destruction.

AARON STARK QUOTATIONS:

"He's never once said that I was wrong or that I was broken. He just said that I was a good kid in a shit world."

"There's no difference in the kid in Pakistan who told me that he couldn't talk about his abuse because his bullies in his village would kill him...It's not different with the model who's throwing up in her cup for her photo shoot and me when I was about to shoot up a school. It's all just expressions of I'm not good enough inside myself, and I think I need to burn myself apart to fit life."

"Treat that kid in the dark that tells himself that he hates himself constantly and tells himself that everything in his life is bad and he's the fault of it. Tell him that he's wrong because everybody else is telling him that he's right. And to me, that's a simple equation. "

"Being man enough is being comfortable in yourself and realizing that when you woke up today, you were good enough. And tomorrow you're going to be good enough too. And it's okay to fail, and it's okay to cry, and it's okay to be vulnerable, and it's okay to let someone know that you love them. And it's okay to let someone know that you're hurt, and it's okay to reach out for help."

Drawing on years of working with both men and women on sexual and spiritual intimacy, masculinity and finding one's purpose, John Wineland shares how he's trying to help men across the world. A renowned men’s group facilitator, teacher and thought leader, John encourages people to embrace a paradigm shift where masculinity celebrates femininity, presence and liberation.

Discover the power and purpose of men's groups (and where to find them), gatherings of men fueled by accountability and real friendships that transcend superficial bonds like sports and booze.

With empathy that is far too rare these days, John speaks directly to men who feel displaced, isolated and forgotten in this dynamic time of change in our world. John's message offers clarity and inspiration for men navigating challenging times.

He also discusses the secret to handling the grief of losing his daughter (the inspiration for Justin's film, Five Feet Apart) with grace and healing, made possible largely because of the support he found in his own men's group.

Whether you identify as a man, woman, trans or nonbinary, this conversation will probably make you want to learn with John, and will have you cheering for him to accomplish his ambitious goal of creating 10,000 men's groups around the world.

Ever think about the Roman Empire? Well, Travis Van Winkle does—sometimes. In this week's episode, our hosts sit down with the talented actor, Travis Van Winkle, who also happens to be one of Justin and Jamey's closest friends. They dive into a wide-ranging discussion covering dating, overcoming trauma, friendship insecurities, alcohol, the Roman Empire trend, and the art of embracing life's imperfect timing.

When he's not gracing the screen, Travis Van Winkle devotes much of his time to his role as a Big Brother in the Big Brother Big Sister mentorship program. He opens up about his transformative experience as a mentor to his "little brother," Lyrik, and the revelation that he's more ready than ever for fatherhood. Travis shares his refreshed perspective on dating and marriage, opting for authentic human connections over dating apps while also acknowledging that the gift of marriage may not be in his immediate future.

Later in the episode, Travis lays out his “curriculum for life” made up of the different challenges, learnings and lessons he’s gained along the way. And Justin and Jamey reflect on Travis as a close friend, sharing heartwarming moments from their 20+ years of friendship, including a particularly vulnerable incident that threatened to tear them apart early on.

We're back! In this highly anticipated episode, our dynamic trio of hosts, Justin Baldoni, Liz Plank, and Jamey Heath, reunites for an electric conversation that's bound to resonate with anyone navigating the complexities of evolving in modern life.

Justin, who famously "wrote the book on masculinity," opens up about what he's been up to during his hiatus, a recent mistake that made him run to re-read his own book, and why he feels like he's in a constant state of evolution. His vulnerability sets the stage for a honest discussion about the unending journey of self-discovery and 'doing the work.'

As the episode unfolds, our hosts share their own personal stories of growth, from insecurity at work and Liz's 'imposter syndrome' to Jamey's constant evolution as a father and how he's learning to better deal with conflict in his home. It's a candid, and relatable exploration of self transformation that will leave you feeling inspired and energized to embrace your own imperfect path of development.

Join us as we delve deep into the heart of what it means to be human in today's world, and the bumps we make along the way.

Quotes:

“Part of what motivated me to approach the Apu [situation] thoughtfully is: what am I going to say to [my son]? Someday he will be old enough to discuss this. What will I look him in the eye and say?” - Hank Azaria

“There are good decent people out there that will not look under the hood, because of defensiveness because of ego.” - Jamey Heath

“We don’t have to have all the answers, we’re searching for the answers.” - Jamey Heath

“Racism has created an artificial barrier that now lives in our subconscious, that keeps us from having the level of human connection that we should have, which allows us to come together and solve problems.” - Dustin Washington
