Fathers Sons Brothers

Why do so many men feel like they’re doing everything right, but still feel lonely, unseen, and resentful? In this raw and deeply practical episode, I’m joined once again by No More Mr. Nice Guy author Dr. Robert Glover. In this no-holds-barred conversation, we unpack the real reasons men struggle to ask for what they want, receive love, and build lasting relationships. We explore the covert contracts that keep men stuck in silent resentment. We also unpack the hidden shame around masculine needs and the painful effects of emotional isolation. But this episode isn’t just about naming the problem. It’s a masterclass for reclaiming your power, building real brotherhood, and creating the kind of life and relationship you actually want. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why you might believe (consciously or unconsciously) that having needs makes you weak or bad. What a “covert contract” is and how it's silently sabotaging your relationships. Why most men struggle to receive, and how that blocks intimacy, connection and wealth. How to identify the “junk food” behaviours and relationships that are draining your energy. A powerful 3-step life audit to help you reconnect with your purpose, community, and emotional needs. The evolutionary reason men crave brotherhood and why isolation is destroying your health. Why men's groups are the antidote to digital distraction, porn addiction, and emotional loneliness.

"Why would I want to join a men's group?" This is a common response we hear from men when we introduce them to men's work.

The more discomfort you feel about being authentic in a group of men, the more magic awaits you on the other side.

This podcast is a space for having courageous conversations. We aim to open the places most are too scared to tread.  This episode will touch on some of your most deep-seated beliefs and make you question everything.  Do you really have to pay taxes and listen to people in uniform? Are you brave enough to dig deep to the bottom of your money beliefs?  What if everything you believe about yourself… isn’t even yours?

We explore how to reclaim sovereignty, reprogram your mind, and create your life from a place of deep inner truth. In this episode, we explore: What it really means to “reclaim your power” in a world built on illusion The hidden gift of being neurodivergent (and how society labels it all wrong) How emotions, embodiment, and nervous system awareness help you find your truth How your parents and your birth certificate contracted you into a contractual business deal with your government - and how to get out of it!

What if the chaos you're avoiding is the key to your next breakthrough? In this episode, I sit down with Lewis Huckstep for a raw and insightful conversation about the deep inner work required to lead powerfully and love deeply. We explore the intersection of leadership and relationships, revealing how emotional triggers, unresolved trauma, and life’s inevitable chaos are actually opportunities to build greater capacity and resilience. Lewis shares hard-won insights on the masculine and feminine dynamic, how to navigate emotional storms without losing your center, and why true transformation only happens when you’re willing to go all in. If you’ve ever struggled to let go of control, feared emotional challenges, or hesitated to claim your true value, this is a masterclass in building emotional strength and stepping into transformative leadership. Lewis and I explore the deeper layers of personal growth, showing that true change isn’t just about mindset - it’s about learning to trust yourself in the face of uncertainty and becoming the kind of leader who transforms not just your own life, but the lives of those you love. In this episode, you'll Learn: Why transformation doesn’t happen until you commit financially and how investing in yourself shifts your results. The real reason you’re struggling with sales or asking for what you’re worth. How the feminine tests the masculine, and why your ability to hold space determines the strength of your leadership. How to sit with emotional chaos without losing your center. The balance between inner work and outward action, and why you need both to create success. What to expect when stepping into fatherhood and why it challenges your emotional strength like nothing else.  This episode is all about inner strength!

In another great episode of the Postgame, Matt and I dive deep into the concept of integrated leadership and what it means to lead in a way that reflects collaboration, authenticity, and purpose. Whether you're navigating leadership in your family, business, or community, this episode provides a framework to shift from outdated, competitive leadership models to a new paradigm grounded in self-awareness, connection, and meaningful contribution. The conversation unfolds with powerful reflections on personal growth, letting go of toxic patterns, and stepping into a greater purpose.  In this episode, you’ll learn: What it means for you to embody The New Paradigm of Leadership—leading with collaboration, purpose, and abundance, rather than competition and scarcity. The three phases of stepping into authentic leadership: Severance, Initiation, and Integration, and how you can apply them to your personal and professional growth. Why leadership begins within and how developing self-awareness and inner alignment will help you lead more effectively. How to break free from limiting environments and echo chambers, to open up new possibilities for growth and leadership. The transformational power of participating in men’s work and sitting in a circle with other men for accountability and support. Practical tools and practices you can use to align your actions with your purpose while being supported by a tribe of like-minded men. This episode is all about Integrated Leadership!

After 32 years, I’ve made the decision to permanently quit using cannabis. There was no intervention or external pressure - just a moment of self-reflection that led to an honest realisation. When I asked myself, "What are you pretending not to know?" the answer was clear. I could no longer ignore the toll cannabis was taking on my lungs, my productivity, my mental clarity, and, most importantly, my integrity with myself. If you’ve been struggling with an unhealthy relationship with a substance and feel ready to quit, this episode is for you. I’ll share my experience, including: How to recognise if a substance you’re using has become a crutch. The true cost of cannabis in my life, and how it might be holding you back. How compromising your integrity creates massive energy leaks. What to expect as your body begins to detox and adjust. Why I felt a sense of relief and freedom once I fully committed to quitting. Why I’ve chosen to microdose with LSD to support the transition off cannabis.    Episode Links: "The Body Keeps the Score" This episode is all about my decision to quit cannabis!!

I want to lift the veil of confusion around sex and ejaculation and educate people about orgasm and ejaculation being two different things. While I am a hetero-sexual man, all men can benefit from my work. As a successful businessman with 30 years' experience, I understand the connection between money, sex and power. My spiritual journey of learning and awakening of the last 15 years has brought me to deeply drop into my heart and understand consciousness and the interconnectedness of it all. I am a bridge between the ‘mainstream’ and the evolution into a higher consciousness. Connect with him on: Website About your host: Gareth Pickering is an artist and thought leader.
