Have you ever felt the pressure to “man up” in ways that shut you down? This TEDx offers a powerful new perspective: True badassery isn’t about building walls around our emotions; it’s about having the courage to tear those walls down.

It’s 3:00 a.m. The sky is black and my headlamp is fading. I’m on the Tahoe Rim Trail high in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I’m over 100 miles into a 215 Mile race. Lost and alone, the beam of my headlamp seemed to fade with every step I took. My chest tightened into a knot. Five minutes earlier, I had been soaring. Now my breath was ragged, and every rustle
Growing Leadership Capacity Through Connection Many leaders struggle to accept support, believing they must have all the answers to be effective. In reality, that belief often limits their capacity rather than strengthening it. After a decade of facilitating hundreds of men’s groups and working with male executives, I’ve seen how costly this belief can be. Both personally and organizationally. In this post-Covid era, where we are working really hard to

And fire doesn’t go out because you tell it to.It goes out because you learn how to work with it. The good news?You don’t need a psychology degree or a meditation retreat to start building emotional awareness. You need a few simple, repeatable practices that help
It is often said that we overestimate what we can do in a year and underestimate what we can do in ten. This quote has never felt more true than it does right now. On June 13, 2025, I toed the line at the Tahoe 200, a 200+ mile ultramarathon around Lake Tahoe. Two weeks post-race, I still find myself looking for ways to adequately articulate the enormity of the
