Tig Notaro is a comedian, actor, screenwriter, producer, and co-host of the podcast Handsome.
This conversation explores Tig's legendary 2012 setādelivered days after her cancer diagnosisāand how loss became her greatest teacher. We discuss her wild upbringing, choosing presence over performance, the napkin-based writing process, what's going on in the comedy scene, and producing "Come See Me in the Good Light," the Sundance-winning doc about poet Andrea Gibson.
Oh, and we bond over spinal fusion surgery recovery.
Tig is greatāand I really enjoyed our time together. Enjoy!

Modern Manhood: A Compilation On Redefining Masculinity, True Strength & Igniting Purpose, Community & Vulnerability In Men
This Modern Masculinity Compilation features Scott Galloway (ep. 826), Terry Crews (ep. 676), Jonathan Haidt (ep. 827), Arnold Schwarzenegger (ep. 784), John W. Price (ep. 939), John Pearson (ep. 739), and Toby Morse (ep. 816).
We explore the friendship recession, boys without fathers facing incarceration, and digital isolation that predated COVID. Men exhausted from cosplaying confidence. The elephant metaphor about young males needing elder presence. Why vulnerability and toughness aren't opposites but partners.
These conversations diagnose what's broken and map paths forward through mentorship and connection.
Seven voices who showed up and got vulnerable. Pass it on. Enjoy!

It Begins With You: Jillian Turecki On Why Dating Is Broken, Self-Awareness Is Everything, & What Actually Makes Love Last
Jillian Turecki is a relationship expert, New York Times bestselling author of It Begins With You, and host of the podcast Jillian on Love.
This conversation explores why intimacy reveals our character defects, how childhood conditioning sabotages adult love, and the universal fear driving relationship dysfunction. We discuss why there's no cruise control in partnerships, why stress kills more relationships than infidelity, and how to distinguish needs from unrealistic expectations.
Along the way, Jillian performs a bit of relationship triage on me.
Jillian's message is direct and empowering. This one rules. Enjoy!

Malala Yousafzai Is Finding Her Way
Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate, education activist, and survivor of a Taliban assassination attempt at age fifteen.
This conversation explores the gulf between icon and identityāwhat happens when you're trying to figure out who you are while everybody has already decided for you. We discuss PTSD that surfaced years later, therapy she resisted, reconciling heritage with freedom, the crisis facing Afghan girls under gender apartheid, and why meaningful activism extends beyond social media.
Through it all, she's redefining what courage actually looks like.
Malala is vulnerable, honest, and profoundly human. And this conversation is a gift. Enjoy!

Train Like A Pro: Exercise Scientist Andy Galpin On Fitness Fundamentals, The 9 Adaptations, & Why Your Training Isn't Working
Andy Galpin is a PhD in exercise bioenergetics, professor at Parker University, and elite performance coach to professional and Olympic athletes.
This conversation explores his framework of nine fitness adaptations and why many people plateau in what could be called the "gray zone"āworking hard enough to feel exhausted but not specifically enough to trigger adaptation. We discuss how movement quality often matters more than intensity, the difference between functional overreaching and overtraining, and what's actually limiting your progress.
Also, Andy coaches me through rebuilding movement patterns after spinal fusion surgery.
Andy translates complex exercise science into practical training wisdom. Enjoy!
