“Vulnerability is not weakness. It is our greatest measure of courage.” – Brené Brown

In this episode, Logan and Tyson are joined off screen by their good friend, and man behind the cameras of Dad Bods & Beards, Cole Chapman to sit down for an honest, no-filter conversation about one of the biggest barriers to men’s mental health: Why so many men don’t ask for help.

They break down the most common reasons men avoid therapy and emotional support From fear of appearing weak, pride, stigma, and the lack of trust. To not knowing where to start, financial burdens, and the belief that they should be able to “handle it on their own.”

This episode challenges the outdated idea that strength means silence. Instead, it reframes vulnerability as responsibility to yourself, to your family, and to the people who depend on you.

This is a necessary conversation for men who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated, and for anyone who’s ever wondered why men wait until they’re at a breaking point before reaching out. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll deal with it later,” this episode is your reminder that later isn’t guaranteed — but help is available right now.

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” – Ernest Hemingway

In this episode, Logan sits down with his co-host and brother, Tyson, to finally tell the story behind the man listeners think they already know. Tyson opens up about the defining struggles that shaped him — the moments that nearly broke him, the pressure of being a husband and father to six kids, and the internal battles that taught him how to rebuild from the inside out.

He shares the lessons he learned the hard way, the turning points that forced him to grow, and the real why behind every decision he makes today. From juggling family life to launching Copper Johns, Tyson reveals how a brand became more than a business — it became a mission to create something meaningful, rooted in integrity, resilience, and purpose.

This is Tyson at his most raw and honest. A story about owning your past, fighting for your future, and choosing every day to become the kind of man your family deserves. It’s reflective, inspiring, and a reminder that the parts of us that almost break are often the very parts that make us who we are.
