What would you actually have to face if you couldn't reach for your phone for the next eight days?

Every time something gets uncomfortable, a tense moment with your wife, an emotion you don't want to feel, or just the weight of your own thoughts you grab your phone. You turn on the TV. You find a distraction. You've built an entire life around avoiding the hard stuff, and it's making you weaker by the day.

Alessandro brings on Hamid Ebadi, a counselor and silent retreat facilitator who strips away the noise and asks one simple question: what happens when you can't run? Hamid doesn't hand you answers wrapped in a bow.

Chapters:
02:18 – Silent retreats in a noisy, hyperconnected world
06:05 – Redefining religion as reconnection to reality
09:19 – Rivers, oceans, and the flavor of truth
11:31 – Why he refuses to give you answers
13:26 – When getting more confused is progress
19:03 – Socrates, not-knowing, and real wisdom
21:18 – For the man who “doesn’t want to think this hard”
25:21 – What actually happens during a silent retreat

Hamid shows you how to ask yourself the right questions. From poetry to philosophy to the raw experience of spending eight days in silence, you'll discover why your comfort zones have actually made you deeply uncomfortable.

If you fill every quiet moment with noise, if you fix problems instead of sitting with them, or if you think meditation is "too soft" you need to hear this.

You'll learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom, why the journey never ends, and how expanding your capacity to sit with hard things might be the most powerful move you make.

By the end, you'll see why discomfort isn't your enemy and why the journey home starts with staying exactly where you are.

Listen and learn why sitting still might be the bravest thing you do this year.

Did your wife's tone this morning feel like a punch to the gut? What if the problem isn't her, but the boy patterns you're still running?

Alessandro breaks down the four boy behaviors that silently wreck marriages and keep men stuck in patterns they learned decades ago. These aren't surface-level habits.

They're the deep-seated reactions that make you defensive, seeking attention, or quietly hoping she'll just handle your emotions for you. Alessandro pulls from Dr. Arne Rubenstein's boy-to-man model, the same framework that changed his life when his wife told him she needed him to be more of a man or she was leaving.

Chapters:
04:55 – Craving attention instead of teamwork
07:27 – Dodging responsibility in disguise
10:18 – The bins fight that exposed me
13:30 – The urge to defend instead of own
15:30 – When emotions take the wheel
19:20 – Holding the line without fighting back
23:00 – Seeking a mother, not a partner
25:45 – Why you fear the feminine
28:20 – The four behaviors redefined
34:44 – The rite of passage

You'll hear Alessandro's unfiltered stories, from the incident that could've blown up his marriage to the moment he realized he was expecting his wife to be his mother. He doesn't sugar-coat it.

He calls out the "it's not fair" foot-stamping, the defensiveness disguised as logic, and the ways men avoid owning their shit while their relationships slowly die. But he also shows you the path forward: the healthy man behaviors that rebuild trust, respect, and actual partnership.

You know something's off but can't quite name it. You're tired of walking on eggshells. You want to lead without controlling. You want to feel like a man in your relationship again. Alessandro maps the exact patterns keeping you stuck and gives you the framework to walk toward something better.

Listen and learn why becoming a better husband starts with recognizing which boy behaviors you're still running and what to do about them today.

What if trying so hard to be a "good man" is actually turning you into the worst version of yourself?

Alessandro sits down with wellness coach Mikah Jones to unpack a pattern wrecking modern men: the fear of being perceived as a "bad man." Not bad like your father was. Bad in any way that might disappoint the women in your life.

This fear keeps you trapped. You say yes when you mean no. You walk on eggshells. You lose your backbone one compromise at a time. Mikah reveals why most men measure their worth through their partner's emotions instead of their own truth.

Chapters:
14:35 - The Erosion of Femininity
20:45 - Losing The Spine In Love
33:00 - The Courage To Be Disliked
44:15 - What's Actually Yours to Carry And What Isn't
53:30 - Why Men Are Afraid Their Truth

Alessandro and Mikah explore the difference between all spine and all heart with no spine. They dig into why your body is the only real compass you have. You'll discover why "no" is the most powerful word for building a life you actually want.

They tackle why women resent men who constantly people-please. How defensiveness is just your mind freaking out because you're not rooted. Why following your truth might make you temporarily unlikable but ultimately respected.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything for your partner but still losing ground, this conversation is for you.

Lsten and learn how to stop measuring yourself through her emotions, build an unshakable presence, and become the kind of man who leads from truth instead of fear.
