112. The 3 Reasons Men Check Out of Relationship (And How To Step Back In)

Do you know why men tend to check out of relationships? Do you know the 3 Pillars of Intimacy? Do you have a tried and tested roadmap for creating a thriving relationship? Welcome … I’ve got a fantastic episode for you today … I’m putting out less episodes at the moment because something big is about to happen for this podcast … and we’re on the precipice of a new era that will launch in just a few weeks!  I’ve hired a new podcast production team that is powerfully challenging me to raise my game big-time in this space  … we’ve been stripping Men This Way down to rebuild it back up better … I was even challenged to think of a new name for the podcast, to make it more understandable and accessible to people … now, the name “Men, This Way” has so much meaning to me personally, but there was some concern that it didn’t make sense to anyone else, or that it suggested the podcast was only for men and not women, which although I certainly tailor this to speak more to men, I always want women to feel welcome here, too … so that was a concern … and so we came up with a bunch of different name possibilities … that process even infiltrated my dreams … my dream team even came up with an amazing title …  “Balloons for Men” … … yeah hahaha …yeah hahaha …. actually NOT going with that title … actually none of the hundreds of names we came up with felt any better than, Men, This Way, … so I’m excited to say, we’re keeping that name … but there’s another huge change upcoming that I’ll announce when we launch on Thursday, February 22, and that I’m personally sooooo excited about. I’ll just give you a hint: I hate doing this shit alone.  And with that, let’s dive into today’s episode. This is a rebroadcast of a different podcast I was recently on – The Art of Masculinity – hosted by my dear friend and past Men This Way guest, Johnny Elsasser. We had a profound conversation about my “thriving relationship road map” for men, and I wanted to make sure you heard it here. Johnny does a great job hosting and jamming with me on this topic that is of vital importance to any man who truly wants to thrive in his life.
