Welcome guys and gals to the Mantox show. I'm Connor Beaton, the host and founder of

Mantox. Now, this is another special episode I'm sharing with you today. And it's, it's different because this is actually

an interview that, uh, that I was interviewed on. So this is an episode from someone else's podcast.

And I really felt like it was worthy and, um, worth sharing with you. So it's a bit of a flip the

script. Normally I'm interviewing people, but on this one,

I'm getting interviewed. And so this is a really important conversation. It's probably one of the

most asked questions that I get when I go and speak in front of groups of people. And one of the

questions that I, that I get mostly from women sounds like this, which is how do I, how come more men don't go do

the work? How come more men aren't open to going to see a therapist or getting a coach or joining a

men's group? And from men, the question will sound like this. How do I overcome the resistance I

feel to changing? Why can't I create more lasting change?

Why is it that I sabotage in my relationship or in business or in my career? Why can't I be better?

And so in this interview, Brian asks me some very pointed questions. And his podcast, by the way, is called

Men This Way. It's a great show. He's a great guy doing some wonderful things in the world.

And he asked me some questions about the challenges and the struggles that I see a lot of men facing.

And so I share some of my personal journey in dealing with this resistance, in dealing with

how to change in these areas. But I also share my perspective on why so many men struggle with

this change. And at the very end, I give some very tactical and real insight and advice and guidance

on how to create that lasting change in your

life. Don't forget to man it forward. And if you aren't already a part of the Man Talks community

on Facebook, I invite you to do so. We've got over 4,000 men that are part of that free community.

It's growing quickly, some great dialogue and conversation in there. And for all of you that are out
