Today’s guest, firefighter Bob M., routinely puts his body in precarious positions—crawling positions, in positions where his hands are above his head, and flexing his legs into bizarre positions—to save lives. Literally. Yet, despite being a firefighter, he’s never had an injury on the job. In fact, he’s kept his injury-free streak alive for the p…

For the past 17 years, today’s guest, Kyle R., has been committed to distance running. But this came with a steep toll to his joints: Shin splints, aching knees, and compromised ankle mobility threatened Kyle’s running life. Kyle didn’t want to give up running, but his body was betraying him. Until he started doing yoga more often. Not only did yog…

Before discovering Man Flow Yoga, Richard B. (today’s Better Man Podcast guest) developed intense hip pain from his job. His pain was so strong that he actually thought he developed a kidney stone! As he started doing physical therapy for his pain, he was reminded of how similar physical therapy and yoga are. Unlike most Man Flow Yoga Members, yoga…

During covid, Anthony, today’s Better Man Podcast guest, was furloughed from his job and spent his days doing nothing other than playing video games. But then, his Husky was more excited than most days, and this kickstarted a chain reaction in Anthony’s mind: His dog was going crazy because he lacked exercise. And so was Anthony. Despite never havi…

Adam’s dad died when he was only 49 years old. But when Adam turned 50, instead of using his father’s passing to inspire him, it almost made him give up on life. After celebrating his 50th birthday, Adam sank into a hole of despair. He ate too much, drank too often, and his marriage was on the verge of collapse—especially because E.D. issues kept s…

A shocking number of podcasts don’t last 10 episodes. But the Better Man Podcast—which has been extremely valuable for my personal growth as well as our listeners—finally reached an important milestone: The 100th episode! So, in this special episode, I’m sharing the 10 most important lessons I’ve learned from recording 100 episodes of this podcast.…

A topic that gets mentioned on every episode of the Better Man Podcast is simple: How you can become a better man. But until today, we’ve never had the ability to really pull back the analytics and examine the cold, hard data. That’s why I invited Ben Wigert and Mike Ritz from Gallup. For the past 89 years, Gallup has found analytical insights and …

Here’s a harsh truth: Getting old sucks. But it’s a reality you can't ignore or escape from. It’s easier to get hurt. You feel more sore more often. Little aches and pain become more pronounced and harder to ignore. Your energy and motivation declines. But worst of all: You can’t workout like you used to when you were younger (unless you want to in…

There is a certain epidemic that’s strangling men’s mental and emotional health. But since it’s sneakier for men than it is for women, many mental health clinicians don’t even know how to spot the signs. I’m referring to depression, isolation, and a lack of connection with other men. Men are lonelier than perhaps ever before. But we experience depr…

BMP-Ep096: Strategies & Tips For Your At-Home Yoga Practice While an at-home yoga practice has many benefits—such as requiring no commuting, being able to do it whenever and wherever you want, and choosing a yoga routine that best suits your goals of the day—there are a few drawbacks too: You might set unrealistic expectations for your practice. Mi…

Everyone wants to be happier, have fewer worries, and feel more excited about life. But often, we sow the seeds to our mental health destruction without even realizing it. This makes happiness impossible and fleeting. But it doesn't have to be that way. 24 years ago, today’s guest, Dain Heer (CEO of Access Consciousness), gave himself six months to…

This past weekend, 10+ guys came together at the Be The Better You Retreat to be open, honest, and vulnerable. While we worked out and did yoga—it is a Man Flow Yoga retreat after all—the true value of the retreat was getting like-minded guys in the same room to talk about their emotions. There were three distinct themes that kept repeating through…

I used to think that the keys to great health were eating right, exercising often, and getting enough sleep. While these are good for your health, they pale in comparison to the quality of your relationships. In fact, a Harvard study proved that your relationships are the #1 most important factor for your overall health and wellbeing. But many guys…

Most guys who are interested in self-care and self-improvement struggle heavily with it. Flicking on the TV or loading your favorite social media for doom scrolling is so much easier. Especially when you lead a busy life and are responsible for your family. And you know what? I struggle with this too. It’s a daily battle to pick the activity that’s…

Here’s an uncomfortable truth: You will get injured at some point on your fitness journey. While we can do our best to prevent injuries, injuries are unavoidable. But just because you’ve injured yourself doesn’t mean you have to be sedentary for months. In fact, after listening to this episode, you might be able to cut your recovery time in half. H…

For whatever reason, men are particularly bad at managing their stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. I’ve struggled with this myself. Everyone struggles with this. But why? As men, we’ve been discouraged to give our emotions the validation they deserve. Instead of confronting issues, we avoid them by turning into workalcoholics or exercise junkies. Whil…

Something devastating happened to you when you turned seven years old… You figured out your default state of being and thinking and trapped yourself in a “mind matrix.” Inside this “mind matrix,” your ego formed, your defense mechanisms solidified, and you started living the rest of our lives on autopilot. This happens to everyone, not just you… Bu…

There are a lot of men in the Man Flow Yoga Community who either want more or need more from their subscription. Whether you struggle with motivation, consistency, your relationships, or too much stress, I have good news for you: Man Flow Yoga Engage will help you overcome these struggles (even if they’re not purely physical struggles). I haven’t l…

One of the most understated things that most men carry around unknowingly is some type of deep grief or sadness that comes from your childhood. But therapy, which is dominated by women, doesn’t give the best route to confront, address, and accept these deep-seated feelings. To make matters worse, most men are so out of touch with their emotions tha…

Despite never having easier access to other people, men today are lonelier than perhaps any other point in history. We don’t deeply connect with each other. We don’t share our struggles in a vulnerable way. And it comes with the steep cost of loneliness, stress, overwhelm, and other mental health issues. But there’s not a more effective way to over…

Motivation is a fickle beast. One day, your motivation soars and you finally start a fitness program. The next day, your motivation strands you and threatens your goals. The trickiest part about motivation is how quickly it comes and goes. Despite it consistently being unreliable, we still feel the need to want to feel it before tackling a big goal…

What do you do when you’re stuck in a rut and your motivation is running out? If your first reaction is to berate yourself out of it or deny that it’s happening—a problem men in particular struggle with—then, well, you can actually prolong the rut you’re in. I’ve experienced this myself. And I’ve also found a better, more productive way to handle a…

Men today live in a constant state of stress. Despite never being safer from external threats, modern society presents us with more stress than any other generation before us—and it’s killing us. In fact, when you live in a constant state of stress, things that are considered healthy—like weight lifting, cardio workouts, and cold & hot therapy—actu…

Today’s hustle culture tricks men, myself included, into jamming more activities into our day to become more productive, more successful, and more fulfilled. But this relentless pursuit of self-development opens up a void in our life. The more things we shove into our day, the less time we have to slow down and reflect on what actually matters. In …

Go up to any man on the street and ask him whether he’d like to have more money, and you’ll get the same response: Absolutely. But today’s guest, Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo and the OK Dork YouTube channel, woke up with a million dollars in his bank account, but was miserable. Despite his success from the outside looking in, his finances didn’t …

More people than ever have the option to work from home. But is working from home all it’s cracked up to be? Well, working from home may boost your productivity, work-life balance, and reduce your overall stress. But it can also do the opposite: Plummet your productivity, sabotage your work-life balance, and lead to burnout. Personally, working fro…

What if I told you that there’s only one thing standing between you and the most impossible goal you could think of? You’d probably be filled with skepticism, and you wouldn't be wrong. In fact, I was in your exact shoes with today’s guest Jason Drees (former Tony Robbins coach turned mindset coach and entrepreneur) posed that question to me. But h…

The biggest problem affecting men today is that we don’t get to connect with similar men on a deeper level. I struggle with this too, so you’re not alone. Modern life fills our calendars with to-do’s, family, and stress, which doesn’t leave much time to connect deeply with other men. When we do hang out with other men, it’s usually superficial: Wat…

We’ve been told conventional health wisdom so much that most people believe it blindly. Things like you need to do cardio to lose weight. Eating fat makes you fat. And you need to eat at least 3 servings of grains to be healthy. The trouble is, these conventional health wisdoms aren’t true. And today’s guest, Mark Sisson—founder of Primal Nutrition…

The statistics around New Year’s Resolutions are startling: 23% of people give up on their New Year’s Resolution by the end of the first week. By the end of January, 43% of people had already quit on their resolutions. And only 9% of people actually complete their resolutions by the end of the year. Why? Well, most people don’t understand how to pr…

Modern society, social media, and other outside forces convince us that we’re not living up to the best version of ourselves. So, despite already maxing out our willpower, we continue to try to add more and more habits to reach this idealized version of ourselves. But here’s the thing… The fastest and most effective way to create positive change in…

Two weeks ago, I invited Andrew Daniel onto the Better Man Podcast. In that episode, he revealed the booby trap of the self-help industry which keeps millions of people stuck and miserable. We also briefly discussed his groundbreaking Cinesomatics methodology. Well, in today’s episode he guides me through a sample Cinesomatics session—so you can se…

BMP-Ep073: The 9 Life-Enhancing Benefits of Gratitude (And How To Start) Humans are hardwired to focus on the negative. This “biological glitch” saved us from tiger attacks in the past—but it causes unnecessary suffering today. It’s unnatural to focus on the good things, which is why practicing gratitude is both so difficult and rewarding. But you …

The self-help industry is a massive industry. And for good reason: Self-help can teach you how to be the cause in your life rather than the effect. It shows you that you can change your life’s direction and outlook. But what if self-help doesn’t work for you? What if you’ve read all the books, and still find yourself stuck? The unfortunate truth is…

When we start something new—whether a new financial plan, fitness regimen, or diet protocol—there’s a period that happens a few weeks in when we haven't seen results, and start doubting ourselves. In fact, this is the #1 reason many people give up on new plans too soon. They let their doubts consume them, and convince them to switch to another new …

Should you try switching to a plant-based diet? Is it really that much better than eating meat? What are the unique benefits—and common pitfalls—of a vegan diet? These are all questions I wanted to ask nutritional expert Adam Sud on Episode 68 of the Better Man Podcast. But we ran out of time because his story of conquering diabetes, substance abus…

We’re living through an epidemic right now… But it’s not on TV, making headlines, or even talked about that much by the health and wellness industry. The epidemic? Men over 40 are overweight, obese, and riddled with pain! The statistics behind this are shocking: Over 50% of men over age 40 are overweight. Despite everyone knowing how to lose weight…

In 2012, Adam Sud lived a completely different life than he does today: He weighed 350 lbs, had diabetes, and was at risk for heart disease. He suffered from substance abuse disorder, depression, and anxiety. And on August 21, 2012, he attempted to end his life… Well, his failed suicide attempt made him realize something: Despite the emotional and …

As we grow older, more concerns pop up about our fitness, health, and longevity. While these are valid concerns and something that we’re all going to confront at some point, they can sometimes be isolating. We think we’re the only way having these concerns, and it makes us feel lonely. Well, I’ve been conducting research with Man Flow Yoga Members …

While the phrase “mental health” has never been more popular, the sad truth is that men’s mental health is at an all-time low. We shy away from tough conversations with loved ones, we don’t have a group of other men to vent with, and sometimes we have no clarity over our emotions. But there is nothing more important as a man than your mental health…

I have the same worries about life, finances, and my long-term health as you do. I struggle with many of the same things you struggle with too—whether it’s working out, eating healthy, staying present, saving money, and the list goes on. If I can be brutally honest with you… It’s exhausting. All of these fears, worries, and doubts cause stress. And…

When you exercise consistently and push your body past its limits, injuries can happen. The problem is, most guys don’t know the best way to recover from current injuries and prevent future ones. For example, most guys think passive stretching can reduce injuries, but this isn’t exactly true. Stretching does provide relief, but without strengthenin…

Most people believe that they need motivation to start a big task. Whether it’s a new project, a new workout routine, or a new way to enhance your relationships. But here’s the problem: Motivation ebbs and flows like the wind. Some days you feel a surge of motivation, but other days your motivational tank is on E. The people who stick with their go…

Everyone on the planet ages the same way: We all lose muscle mass as we age. And muscle mass is actually one of the most crucial aspects to your overall health and wellbeing: Muscle mass can prevent diseases (from minor ones to severe ones). It makes you happier. And it’s actually the #1 biggest predictor of quality of life as you age. In fact, the…

There’s a trap that we all fall into when we want to build healthier habits. Everyone falls into this trap. Myself included. The trap? Waiting until we’re out of a busy season of our life to get started on our goals. Here’s the truth: Life never stops throwing things at you. You will NEVER have the perfect time to start. And you know what? Avoiding…

Have you ever wondered what it means to thrive? To have a life so fulfilling that you wake up every morning bursting with energy? Many of us go through life on autopilot: We don't question what we’re doing or why we’re doing it. We get used to our jobs and our day-to-day routines, sinking into a comfort that can quickly morph into depression if we …

I’ve gone through several different “phases” of my fitness routine over the years. I’ve done both weight training exclusively and yoga exclusively, and each of them caused their own set of problems: Only lifting weights impacted my mobility, and led to more frequent injuries. While only doing yoga hurt my muscle mass, and caused me to develop weakn…

Everyone has certain traumas and insecurities that your body stores deep inside itself. And it turns out that yoga is one of the best ways to address this deep-seated trauma and insecurities. Take today’s guest, comedian Drew Lynch, for example. While working on his dream to become an actor, Drew suffered a brutal softball injury that left him with…

Humans are lazy: We want to spend the least amount of energy for the greatest award. It’s built into our DNA. Yet, when it comes to setting goals, we forget how lazy we can be, how fickle motivation is, and have a tendency to make big, elaborate goals. Here’s the problem: When our motivation levels fall, we give up on these big elaborate goals comp…
