Ryan Mattila is a graduate from Cleveland State University who studied American Literature and wrote his senior thesis paper on masculinity. He is also an avid fitness enthusiast, video game lover, and has a great mindset towards life, love, and creating relationships. 

Ryan and I jump right into the discussion of what it means to be a man and what masculinity looks like in today’s day and age. We go over what homoeroticism is and how that ties into the decisions we make as men. As two people who are so involved in working out and staying healthy, we dive into bodybuilding and “social media fitness”, the adverse effects it can have on your physical and mental health, and why you should avoid this lifestyle if you’re not competing. 

Although we love fitness, we go over the importance of finding balance in life and understanding what makes life worth living. We touch on relationships, decompressing from every day life, finding happiness in the day to day grind, and so much more!
