The Modern Man Podcast

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Christopher Weedon, Founder of Mentally Shredded, a foundation that was born from his battle with anxiety and depression. Chris has made it his mission to change the stigma of mental health and empower people through personal development. Listen in as Chris shares the powerful advice, tools, and mindset shifts he used to break free from anxiety and depression and get Mentally Shredded.

Chris emphasizes how important it is to have an identity and purpose outside of work, make exercise part of your lifestyle, and rebuild your foundation of mental health when it crumbles.

He describes how transformative it can be to establish a supportive, constructive network of people in your life that can help you develop into the exact person you want and need to be.

"The personal development piece… there's no way I would be here talking to you without that."

– Christopher Weedon

Keep this in mind… We all love sunshine, but it's the rain that helps everything grow. Through every storm, be sure to put your armor on, stand tall, and keep doing what you need to do to fill up your cup.

"I call this the grocery store mentality. Take what aligns with you and put it in your basket. Whatever doesn't align with you, leave it on the shelf because you can't do what I'm doing and you can't do exactly what Ted is doing either. You have to figure out what is working, what is not working, and it's an ebb and flow." – Christopher Weedon

In this episode of The Modern Man, I speak with Chris Schroder, an entrepreneur, and author of "Headscape: How a Bald Guy Replanted His Hair and Restarted His Life". Listen in as Chris shares his incredible story from being bald and insecure to confidently strutting a full head of hair - a journey that ultimately led to a life-saving cancer diagnosis.

Chris sheds light on the emotional (and even professional) impacts of baldness and why he decided to get hair transplants in his 60s, after 30 years of being bald. He openly describes what the hair transplant process is like, why he chose to go to Turkey for the procedure, and how it's transformed his life in every way possible.

"I was self-conscious… but it was a bigger thing to me than to other people - but guys don't want to talk about it. Joe Biden refused to take questions about it 20 years ago, Elon Musk won't talk about it, Elton John didn't talk about it years ago… It seems unmanly or it seems like a weakness that men want to overcome but they don't want to address and they don't want to talk about it." – Chris Schroder

Remember, we can't heal what we don't reveal. Hiding your insecurities is never the answer. To be a modern man is to must address your feelings of insecurity and shame and do the work to overcome them.

"It's kind of like after you work out for a few weeks… and you just kind of have this little buzz about you - that was the buzz I had when the hair was growing out. I was like, this is the me I'm meant to be, this is the me I was going to be, and this is the me I want to be." – Chris Schroder

In this episode of The Modern Man, I speak with Steven Arms, a husband, father of two (with one on the way), and author of "Milestone to Manhood: A Christian Rite of Passage to Help Your 13-Year-Old Son Make the Leap from Boyhood to Manhood" which he co-wrote with his dad. Listen in as Steven breaks down the importance of rites of passage for modern boys along with how parents can facilitate rites of passage for their sons to acknowledge and embrace their manhood.

Steven shines light on what happens when boys don't experience a rite of passage into manhood, the seven rituals in a modern boy's rite of passage, and even how single mothers can facilitate a rite of passage for their son(s). Steven also speaks on the benefits of hosting a rite of passage for both the boys experiencing it and the men hosting it.

"Our modern Western society doesn't really have an equivalent coming of age event and I think that's one reason why we are failing to develop men who are truly, virtuously masculine… That's why we see men extending their boyhood, extending their adolescence, into their 20s and 30s." – Steven Arms
