In this episode, River and Alex dive into many the most pressing ideas around the topic of mental health for men. We talk about the term 'Toxic Masculinity' and everything that comes with it, why men are conditioned from a young age to protect themselves by getting rid of their vulnerability, how men have found ways of coping by medicating instead of talking, and our own personal struggles with mental health and how we are dealing with it.

River is the founder of HUMEN, a non-profit who's mission is to improve and maintain men's mental health through The HUMEN Space. Anonymous, preventative and non-clinical space for men to talk, listen and connect on a regular basis.

This episode, I have a really special guest on to talk all about one of my favorite topics. Books! I have always been a huge fan of reading, but have grown more and more hungry to read the older I get. The problem is, sometimes its tough to do it consistently. And that is why I asked my new friend Alex to be on the show today.

Alex and Books is an online platform designed to help you read more great books. I love following Alex through twitter and his newsletter and always feel like I am learning new ways to be a better and more consistent reader.

In this episode we discuss the importance of quitting more books, how to become a more consistent reader, good note-taking ideas and how Alex sold all of his video games for a chance to meet Jordan Peterson.

There has never been a better time to build a business on the internet.

Tom Osman is an expert in the field of building cool stuff online. In this episode, we talk about overcoming insecurity and sharing your thoughts online, how trying, failing and quitting more projects is the key to finding the best one, how to manage your creator bug and how having fun in your work is the most powerful thing you can do to supercharge your platform.

Today's episode is all about the state of podcasting, but the tables have been turned a bit. My friend Tom Osman asked me to be a guest on his show and he agreed to let me share it with my audience as well.

In this episode, we get into the details of what makes a great podcast, how to get started, the current podcasting landscape and where medium is headed next.
