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.

Today's episode is all about the state of podcasting, but the tables have been turned a bit.

Tom is a really knowledgable guy on a million things, and he is going to be a guest here on Brave World in the coming months 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.

"Nobody wanted them to do this."

In 2021, who wants to be a cop? I've been asking this question for the past couple of years, and so has Lane Degregory. That is why I asked her to be a guest on the podcast this week.

Lane is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer for the Tampa Bay Times, and she recently published a 6 part series called 'Who wants to be a cop'. I read it last week, and instantly wanted to talk to her about it. In this episode we talk about...

• The story of 3 people with drastically different backgrounds who sign up to be cops
• Why these people decided to become police officers
• The things that are taught to in police academies
• What is changing in policing, and what is staying the same
