Dan Osman's Ramblings Of A Madman Podcast

Stu and I delve into the various aspects of coaching and the fitness industry in this episode.  We debate the problems we see arising from dysfunctional dynamics in the pursuit of self-improvement and how the hyper-focus on self-development and "biohacking" protocols can lead to alienation, loneliness, and disconnection.  It ended up being more of a coaching podcast than intended, but we...

Today, I was joined by David Chambers, a men's intimacy, relationship and dating coach, to discuss the slippery terrain of emotional well-being, as part of the wellbeing spectrum, masculinity, and all it encompasses.

Also, shout out the...
