Men’s mental health is an issue that is getting a lot more attention than even when I started this podcast just 9 years ago. In fact, men are falling behind in so many metrics from graduation and college attendance rates, to declining health, incarceration, and even suicide rates. But what is causing this rising trend in the demise of men’s mental, physical, and emotion health? My guest, John Delony, is here to explain some of the biggest culprits in the modern issues that plague so many men. Today, we talk about the paradox of empathy and toughness as we relate to each other and children, the importance of making “line-in-the-stand” commitments, the difference between complacency and satisfaction, why men need to work on projects together, and why “all in,” is the only way to live.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: (00:00) Episode Intro (04:15) Father-Son Hunting Adventures   (07:45) Building Emotional Resilience in Parenting   (18:59) Navigating Modern Relationships and Commitment   (28:34) Navigating Risk and Satisfaction in Life   (40:49) Finding Anchoring in a Lost Generation   (44:33) Building Brotherhood Through Shared Responsibility   (51:33) Navigating Male Mental Health Challenges   (58:25) Knowing One's Self-Worth and Masculinity   (01:05:50) The Importance of Authenticity and Courage     Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
