a man searching for deeper levels of purpose, a better relationship, this podcast

is definitely going to be for you, or you're a woman who is trying to understand her partner

better, trying to understand men better. This podcast is still for you. Now, Robert has a really

interesting background. He, at the age of 21, was in a PhD program in biochemistry and left that and went on a pretty intense journey

he has predominantly worked as a psychologist, as a therapist, as a counselor. And he focuses specifically on men's work, women's work, and helping both men and women uncover

some of their deeper desires, work through their shame that's getting in the way of them,
