In the modern era of mansplainers, super alphas and groypers, true men are being overshadowed by toxic masculinity. Matt brings in three guests; a former US Army Drill Sergeant, a former NHL player and a "guy's guy" or ladies man; for a raw, authentic and vulnerable conversation on masculinity what it means to be a man. The only heavy weights lifted are emotional ones. The only thing chugged is a pill of self awareness. What's the difference between a boss and a leader? What's healthier, the stoic or the active listener? And because it's discussed in the balance of polarity, this episode is for men and women alike. They flex those sexy brain muscles with this discussion.

Some issues shout. Others whisper. And then there are the ones happening right under our noses while we’re busy watching cute puppy commercials. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the struggles that don’t get the glossy PSAs or viral hashtags—but absolutely should.

Matt is joined by Carla Bayonnet, Summit County Adult Guardian Service’s powerhouse Executive Director, and Beth Wills, a boots-on-the-ground volunteer at Northeastern Ohio Women’s Services. They’re here to help us spotlight the Invisible People—the neighbors and community members dealing with big challenges in total silence.

It’s real, it’s eye-opening, and yes… it’s the stuff no one talks about at brunch (but probably should).
