Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Connor Beaton. He's a men's

life coach, founder of ManTalks and an author, focusing on men's wellness and personal growth.

Men are often told that their problems would be fixed if they stopped being so stoic.

If only they ceased hiding their emotions and started being more vulnerable, their mental health

would improve. But is this actually the case? Does the world really want vulnerable men?

Expect to learn whether men actually can show their vulnerability to the world,

why a man's pain is so important for his growth, whether modern therapy is failing men,

why men have so many surface-level relationships, how men can embrace anger and take back control

of their minds, why so many men gauge their worth on how their business and relationship is performing,

and much more. Connor is absolutely great. He has a very holistic view of personal growth and

masculinity and men's roles in the modern world and how they can actually transcend and integrate

their emotions. He's great. You're really, really going to love this episode. There is so much

to take away from this one. This Monday, Sadiya Khan joins me again on Modern Wisdom. We recorded

while we were both in London and this episode goes for nearly two hours and it covers everything

from confidence to charisma, how to be less nervous around your partner, the real problem of

online dating and an awful lot more. You do not want to miss this one.

This episode is brought to you by Eight Sleep. I am currently dying in Austin because it's too hot

all the time and I'm being kept alive by my Eight Sleep pod cover. It actively cools and heats

each different side of the bed. So if you sleep hot or if you sleep cold, this fixes the problem.

It is an absolute game changer. If you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night or feeling

extra groggy in the morning, temperature is almost always to blame. Also, it tracks your sleep,

it tells you how long you've been asleep. It gives you advice about how to get to sleep better.
