"We can't give up. I think the more we talk about it, the more we interrogate it, the more we speak out against bullying, against people who make fun of people who act differently, and the more that will change. But it's up to all of us." – Silvia Dutchevici

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Silvia Dutchevici, a psychotherapist, author, and Founder and President of Critical Therapy Institute, a unique form of therapy that combines the personal with the political/societal. Listen in as Silvia shares her thoughts on why it's crucial to observe how societal issues such as sexism, racism, and poverty impact men's and women's mental health.

Silvia shines a light on how privilege determines the level of power you have in the world and how you understand that power as well as how we can tap into that power to create positive change. We also discuss the true power of an apology, how to find a safe space to show vulnerability as a man, and the societal behaviors that are vital to changing the world for the better.

If we want to end racism, reverse poverty, and dismantle sexism, it's up to the people who have more power and privilege to work against it. If we want women to have more power and men to show up differently, we need to learn how to share power and have collaborative relationships. If we want to change the system we're in, we have to work collaboratively.

– Daniel Sih

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Daniel Sih, an award-winning productivity author, speaker, entrepreneur, father, and husband.

About Brian:

Brian's mission is to call men into the community for the purpose of replacing destructive behaviors with liberating ones. Through the medicine of brotherhood, Brian has witnessed men experience the expansiveness of a healed heart and fully awakened soul. His childhood was disrupted by a dysfunctional relationship with his father who struggled with addiction. It eventually started down a path of restoration and ended prematurely with his Dad's sudden death. Throughout his adult life, Brian has worked to fully embody his masculine nature that has been hurt by the early relationship with his Dad and other toxic forces. He does this by connecting deeply with his inner child through playing West African drums, dancing West Coast Swing, chanting and laughing at Community Ice Baths, and going for walks in the rain. Brian is honored to serve the world as a Men's Liberation Coach, Yoga and Primal Movement Teacher, and Breathwork Facilitator. He teaches men how to step into action by unlocking the 7 channels in their lives that will lead to their liberation.

About EJ:

EJ was born and raised in Charlotte. The first time he almost died was when he was 8-years-old. He played sports throughout his childhood and high school years. He will be the first to admit that he did not have the worst upbringing, or the best. After graduating from high school, he got a sharp taste of the real world. Once there, he made some decisions that led to habits that slowly deteriorated his body. He became addicted to promethazine, codeine, and Xanax. Then one day he was hit with the realization that his life had to change. He sat with himself in a dark room and ever since that moment his life has continued to change up to, and including, this very moment. EJ is honored to serve the world as a Yoga, Breathwork, and Meditation Teacher and Energy Healer.

"One of the biggest problems that's facing humanity today is the fact that we don't see ourselves in reality, as we truly are, in relationship to our environment. We're co-creating our environment constantly. So, we're not victims of the matrix, we are the cause of the matrix, but we're also the cure of the matrix." – Leo Treadwell

We're still exploring what it means to be men these days, but according to today's guest, we have a unique opportunity to step into our brilliance and take our power back starting right now. So, what is that opportunity and how do we take advantage of it?
