Rich Dorment has spent years shaping the conversation around men — first at Esquire, now as editorial director of Men’s Health. He’s one of the leading voices exploring what guys actually need today: emotional openness, better role models, real connection, and permission to be more than just “fine.”

In this episode, Rich opens up about the state of modern masculinity, what he’s learned from interviewing some of the world’s most influential men, and why storytelling can change how guys understand themselves. He talks about the pressures men face, why vulnerability is still hard, and how male identity is evolving in real time.

Don’t miss this conversation where Rich talks about:

• What it really feels like to be a guy in 2025
• Why so many men still struggle to open up
• How many close friends men actually need
• Whether therapy works for everyone
• The importance of mentorship for confidence, career, and character
• Redefining success — and why the old model is broken
• Whether networking still matters, or if connection now looks different
