In this episode, Glenn Lawrence and Gia MaCool sit down with Benjamin, creator of Apex Mindset, to talk about the uncomfortable truth: men have more information than ever—yet the outcomes keep getting worse.

We break down why modern masculinity is louder but weaker, why so many men are opting out of dating and purpose, and why binge-watching “framework” content doesn’t fix your life if you refuse to take action. Benjamin explains his inner-game, performance-psychology approach, why most therapy fails men when it becomes endless feelings-talk with no direction, and how EMDR-style trauma processing can help men stop carrying old pain into new decisions.

We also go straight at the “red pill” problem: it can explain reality, but it often doesn’t prescribe the disciplined skill-building and accountability needed to create real results—especially when men get stuck in rage, fear, and passive consumption.

What you’ll get from this conversation:

• Why “more knowledge” isn’t producing better male outcomes

• Emotional suppression vs emotional discipline (and why it matters)

• What EMDR is (in plain English) and why it can work fast

• Why men are checking out: fear, apathy, porn/tech escape, and risk avoidance

• Why “red pill as a destination” creates stagnation—and what to do instead

• How frame actually works (and what it is not)

Note: The conversation gets “spicier” at the end and we move the rest to Patreon.
