Episode 7 was highly requested, as is Episode 8. It's all about men. And for far too long now, men's mental health has been suffering tremendously.

Episode 6-The Third Life Crisis 08.12.2021 27:40

I think I'm having one right now. Your thirties are a weird weird time. You and the rest of the world are like questioning every single choice you've made and all the ones you're thinking about as you prepare FOR THE FUTURE. The scary scary future.

Episode 2-The Workhorse Workforce 15.10.2021 22:04

Well now that you have gotten to know me a little bit better, it's time to jump in. Or dip our toes in the water. Or whatever analogy feels best to you. This episode is all about thinking differently about our labor chains. And by chains, I mean the chains that bind us to the system. We have this precious time here on Earth and we are squandering it away devoting our lives to our trades...
