Episode 2187

Looking ahead to next year, today’s listener wants to offer non-toxic men’s lifestyle advice. He wants to be the person he needed when he was younger. You’ll hear more about this from his question, which is largely about how to position this work or message it for the right people. I always love to hear from our community. You all are doing some interesting things! Let’s see if I can be somewhat helpful to Brody.
"I didn't have a dad growing up, and I want to be the person I needed when I was younger. That’s a phrase I borrowed from my therapist. Specifically, I want to offer men's lifestyle advice about how to be a better person and cope with the challenges of the modern world. I know it's a big market! But I'm also running into a problem defining it more clearly. There are a lot of guys out there doing something like this, but it seems like they've organized into some camps that I don't necessarily want to be part of. What I mean is that some of these figures are essentially political, and I want to avoid that. Still, I see why some of the big communities attract such a following. So that’s my question: what can I do to position myself well and not water down my message while also being welcoming to everyone and avoiding toxic masculinity? Whew! I know that's a lot to accomplish ... but this is important, so I'd love to know what you have to say about it. Thanks for all the inspiration through the books and podcast."
