The rules changed, but our wiring didn’t. We invited Mackenzie Beeby, co-founder and certified coach at Groups for Men, to pull modern manhood out of vague labels and into practical tools that actually help. From Nice Guy Syndrome and covert contracts to hidden addictions and the “anger funnel,” we explore why so many men feel stuck, lonely, and ashamed—and what it takes to move forward with purpose.
Mackenzie breaks down a simple, repeatable system for growth built around active purpose. Instead of fighting urges in the dark, he teaches the Flip: language that points your attention toward what you want, not what you fear. We go deep on the friendship recession, why male vulnerability gets outsourced to partners, and how holding space—listening without fixing—becomes a powerful, masculine contribution at home and in community. You’ll hear honest talk about money, when she earns more, the risk of desperate financial bets, and the kind of accountability that helps you rebuild without burning down what matters.
We also walk through grief when relationships end. You don’t skip it; you burn it out. Acceptance follows, and with it the clarity to write a better story. Mackenzie connects spiritual meaning with day-to-day decisions: God may not hand you answers, but He offers opportunities—and purpose is how you meet them. Expect measured insights, real data, and practical steps you can use tonight.
If you’re ready to replace isolation with brotherhood and shame with direction, this conversation is your starting line. Listen, share it with someone who needs it, and then take one action: try the Flip today. If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and pass it to a friend who could use a new story.
