The Mansome Podcast

What is it to try, try and try again? What makes us want to keep going even when things aren’t going so well. Today Parker and I take a look at the trait of tenacity! Tenacity, that ability to stick things out, to keep trying, and to maintain an outlook that gives security in a course of action. How does it help us, and at what point does it disable us as well… In this episode we discuss character traits and look at what it takes to maintain a tenacious outlook and keep on moving forward, even when things don't work as we hoped.

Ep. 7 

Dickishness Part II - Last week we discussed male arrogance, confidence and the aspect of “Dickishness”... This week is a follow up and, in our opinion, a natural progression into a “mystical” term called Toxic Masculinity! I say mystical because for many, including myself, this term has been used for so much labeling and as a scapegoat for all that ails man... However, for many, including myself, it is a bit of a mystery... What is toxic masculinity, what part is toxic and what part is a really nice catch phrase? This week, Parker and I try to give ourselves clarity on this topic that has come to symbolize so much. If we are looking for an answer, you might be as well... Join us as we start to scrape the surface and understand what is toxic about masculinity and what we need to do to make this a non-issue...

Ep. 6 

A look at what point arrogance and confidence cross over to dickishness. A more
detailed look at the character traits that are often taken as someone being a “Dick” in their
interaction with others and in the view of themselves. Parker and Sal look at the pros and cons of dickish behavior, arrogance in men, and the part such expressions play in the interpretation of
personal confidence. Is it really being crude, rude and full of crap, funny and expressive, or is it a mechanism for hiding inadequacies and self-doubt? Join us in this exploration...

Ep. 5

What’s all the rage? Today we are taking a look at rage in our society. With an unheard of number of mass shootings, school violence, interpersonal crimes (domestic violence, road rage, assault…), we ask “where is all this rage” coming from? What kind of things are triggering us, why are we so bad at dealing with it, what part is digital media playing, what can we do to act differently and more...

Ep. 4

The one constant in our life is change; things will be different, change happens and are you ready and able to handle it? We examine what changing your mind is and why it’s so important to be flexible and be prepared for those changes. As men we have a habit of setting our mind in a certain way and being damn stubborn about it! Yet we all love change, we all seek new and exciting, but we don’t seem to like change if it's thrust upon us! Join Parker and I in looking at how men view change and what gets in our way.

Ep. 3

Summary: What a world we live in today? Business closed, people dying, unbridled infection, people boarded up at home… Day by day we are all watching this global drama unfold! What’s it doing to us, how are we really dealing and feeling each day? With so much uncertainty in every aspect of our lives, how are we really dealing with it all? Are we even aware of some of the effects of these actions? Join us for a discussion, one of many I’m sure, about the uncertain world of CoVid and the changes at hand.
