Yaron Engler is a touring musician turned men's coach who has spent over a decade helping men remove their masks and live authentically. Having toured globally with major productions while simultaneously working with men since 2014, Yaron brings a unique perspective on creativity, personal growth, and masculine development. He's the creator of the CROP cycle framework and believes in radical honesty as the foundation for meaningful relationships and personal freedom.

In this episode we explore:

• The universal mask-wearing problem - Why most men live behind personas at work and in relationships, and the heavy price we pay for not expressing our authentic selves
• The CROP cycle framework - Yaron's four-stage method (Cleansing, Reconnection, Observation, Playfulness) for removing what no longer serves you and reconnecting with your truth
• Radical honesty in relationships - How Yaron built his 17-year marriage on complete transparency from day one, and why most relationships fail due to accumulated lies and unexpressed truths
• The "Then What?" question - Moving beyond vulnerability and emotional opening to actually taking action and living with purpose and meaning
