THEY'RE HERE - PAUL MISCHEL - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, often abbreviated as UAPs, are events or occurrences that are not readily explainable by current scientific understanding, and they lack a clear identification or known origin. These phenomena are typically associated with unusual or mysterious observations, and they have been a subject of interest and speculation, particularly in fields such as ufology (the study of unidentified flying objects) and paranormal research.
Unexplained Aerial Objects: This category includes sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or flying anomalies that cannot be easily attributed to known aircraft, weather phenomena, or other conventional explanations. While many UFO sightings have been debunked, some remain unexplained.
Mysterious Lights and Phenomena: Reports of strange lights in the sky, glowing orbs, and other luminous anomalies that do not fit typical explanations fall into this category. Some of these lights have been associated with UFO sightings.
Crop Circles: Complex and intricate patterns that appear in agricultural fields, often overnight, are considered UAPs. While many crop circles are hoaxes, some remain unexplained in terms of their origin and creation.
It's important to note that the term "UAP" is often used in place of "UFO" to emphasize that these phenomena are unidentified but do not necessarily imply that they are extraterrestrial in origin. Many UAPs can be attributed to natural phenomena, misidentifications, hoaxes, or other terrestrial explanations.

WOMAN SHARE THEIR OPINION ON MEN - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil
In today's episode we chat to women and ask them what they think of men,
Why is gender equality important?
What do Women Actually Want from a partner?
How do men Muck Up First Impressions?
How do you feel Being Called A ‘Good Girl’, 'Darling', 'Sweetie', 'Babe', etc.? Why?
What are the Double Standards woman face in their sex lives?
What do you think are some of men’s biggest insecurities?
Why do you think men care so much about physical imperfections in a woman (wrinkles, cellulite, love handles, and all that)?
Do you have any bad situations you have experienced with a man ? Advice to men ?
"At a bookstore one day, I couldn’t buy an erotic novel because there was a man at the counter.'
I SEE MAN AS A STAR, a direction, an orientation, the point of origin, and the place where all time ends.
I look upon Man as a butterfly surveying a flowerbed, tasting, testing, or as a hawk crouched in the high weeds on a roadbank glaring at automobiles speeding by. I see Man as a hummingbird, a moment’s radiance which hovers unscheduled, vanishing in half a heartbeat.
I reach for Man’s hand the same way I struggled for my father’s hand, when we used to survey laid-by fields, grown over with the brambles of blackberry groves, harboring dens of copperheads.
I look up to Man, as I did to my father, the first Man I dared to trust and to love. Men are not like him.
I care for Man, as I now care for my mother, wintering, crippled by time, tested by storm.
I see Man as all the light I lack. Life is not as bright nor fruitful without him. I see Man, seeing, strip away all his trappings of stage dressings, dismiss his barnstormings and his posturings, referee his war games.
I see Man as the child I suckle, a kitten with eyes half-opened, a fever that seizes me when midnight comes.
I see in him the best and the worst qualities of myself. In the wake of many loves, many men and two children, I see Man as an omen of tomorrow’s coming terror, a lethal disease, a disguised born enemy, a danger to ward off like a rattlesnake or a pack of mad dogs.
Like Lord Byron, the second man I dared to love, I can neither live with you nor without you.
And so I keep on, loving you, Man, even when faith and trust are rust. I go on living, looking, learning you, learning your loves, your fears, your despairs, your wild-bird heart.
I see Man as a poem to be sung, an afghan to be crocheted, an awry picture to be straightened, a field to be sown. I see Man as a secret art to be mastered, made, because I see in him all the tapestries we can weave together.
I see Man as my brother, lover, friend, parent, priest, son, sire because my Mother, the Great Mother, made him so. I do not always agree with Her, but She DOES know best.
Lastly, I see Man as the persimmon tree in the northern field sees all the young birds in spring, all the flocks of wild geese migrating south overhead, leaving me, periodically, seasonally, forever abandoning me to winter winds and snowdrifts over the running cedars, always coming back. So, apropos of Count Dracula, I see Man, and say, as the good Count said in greeting Jonathan Harker, “Welcome the traveller, speed the parting guest.”
Some day, with some Man, I am going to share Emerson: “Nothing that is good and fair grows alone.”
I see Man as a co-prisoner in an alien wasteland, because we are both more than we know and less than we could ever imagine. I see Man and would tell him what I have written, seen, been, dreamed, lived, died, reworked, prayed; but we do not speak the same language, no longer share the heart’s tongue.
So I see Man. And I go talk to the Moon.
Mariposa (Virginia Love Long)

a.i & SEX - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y BusuttilA human brain is capable of considering the immediate situation, understanding the emotions involved, and then making a decision about how to react. We possess this quality of divergent thinking, which can be enhanced with meditation. A human mind is very powerful, it can look at a problem and imagine various permutations and combinations, before zeroing down on the best possible resolution.
Machines are incapable of this, because they operate on logic-based programming which only executes tasks based on commands preprogrammed by humans. They consider all the logical consequences and probabilities. What they fail to account for, is the unpredictability of human emotion.
But that’s no reason to quit being ambitious about AI possibilities. On the contrary, we should be thinking of new ways in which AI can make our lives better and easier.
If the internet was built for sex, it's logical to assume that chatbots were created to be sex chatbots as well. Chatbots are artificial intelligence-powered interfaces that simulate human-to-human communication.
The majority of individuals have used a chatbot on the internet, usually in the form of virtual customer care personnel. Sex chatbots, on the other hand, are intended for flirty or sexual conversation. Users can use a sex chatbot to make requests, fantasize, and practice nasty conversation.
In this episode we interview two a.i. chatbots and ask them queations about sex. Do they know more than us. Henry and Andrea really take on this taak wth excitement.

COCK SIZE - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil & Lawrence AkersTo the average man, his penis is his most important possession. From the time he is born he is fascinated by it and it becomes his best friend. A penis is tied to a man's self-esteem and is a definition of his manhood.
Many men, however, question the size of their penis, especially the length. Although they may experience anxiety about the size and appearance of their penises at some time in their life, for most of them these feelings will pass, but for others it can be persistent and disabling.
This anxiety can sometimes lead to avoidance of sexual relationships or fear of attending the gym or sports events where other men might see them naked and make them feel ashamed.
The porn industry has contributed to this obsession by featuring only above-average sized men who are filmed from flattering angles. Many boys who are receiving most of their sex education these days by looking at porn, are getting the wrong message.
Anxiety can lead some men to turn to companies that claim they have treatments and remedies to lengthen the size of the penis. There are pills that contain herbs from around the world, hormone therapies with testosterone or steroids, magnetic or electrical devices to stimulate penis growth, penile suction devices and penis stretchers.
No quality evidence has been yet published to show if any of these treatments actually produce a sustained increase in penis size.

WHY MEN CHEAT - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil & Adam Cox
Men often underestimate the emotional ramifications of their actions. Women often underestimate the shallowness of men.
Men cheat more than women. While this may come as cold comfort to women scorned, it is important to note that, psychologically speaking, most men don’t engage in cheating with the same intention as women. Male cheaters, specifically repeat cheaters, tend to be opportunistic and capable of emotional compartmentalization. So, why do married men cheat?
Healthy men who occasionally cheat on their partners are not pathological. While chronic cheaters pursue infidelity because of deep-rooted attachment disorders and sex addictions, healthier men cheat out of immaturity.
Most men fall somewhere in the middle between being absolutely faithful and having cheated once, realizing it was immature and learning from it,
Most men don’t need to cheat to understand the hurt it may cause to their partner — that can be accomplished through comuncation about trust, intimacy, and opportunities for temptation as they arise.

THE DARK SIDE OF SEX - THE HARDER SHAFT PODCAST with Joe-y Busuttil.
On this episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss THE DARK SIDE OF SEX with co host Grant Shepherd.
Sexual energy is a great magnifier. It will expand whatever it is mixed with.
This means that when your sexual energy becomes strong and connected to the heart or the universe, that force of primal energy can work as profound rocket fuel for healing and awakening, both personally and collectively.
What if the power is used consciously or unconsciously to manipulate rather than connect to a higher power?
Or, let’s put it this way: what if we develop our sexual power without doing the work of bringing our unconscious patterns to awareness?
The danger in doing it this way is that the boost of power will magnify our blind spots, distortions, and manipulatio —the power games, the separation, the ego bullsh*t. We might begin to use our sexual energy to get validation from outside of ourselves and play with our increased power to do so.
It might seem pretty obvious to some that we have to balance our expansion of power with our deep work on the parts of ourselves lurking in the shadows.

This special episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we chat to two self. identified SEX ADDICTS,
Compulsive sexual behavior is a condition in which an individual cannot manage their sexual behavior. Persistent sexual thoughts interfere with their ability to work, maintain relationships, and complete their daily activities.
People with compulsive sexual behavior may fixate on different sexual practices. Some people might experience an overwhelming urge to masturbate, while others may feel a compulsion to engage in sexual intercourse with several different partners a day.
This variation makes the condition harder to define.
Activities that can sometimes have a link with compulsive sexual behavior include:
- compulsive masturbation
- multiple affairs, sexual partners, and one night stands
- persistent use of pornography
- practicing unsafe sex
- cybersex
- meeting with sex workers
Behaviors and attitudes may include:
- an inability to contain sexual urges
- detachment, meaning that the sexual activity does not emotionally satisfy the individual
- strong feelings of attraction to others alongside continually being in love and starting new romances, often leading to a string of relationships
- feelings of guilt and shame
- giving up social, work-related, or recreational activities to pursue sexual stimulation
If you are curious if you have a sexual addiction, ask yourself the following questions. Each of these may indicate that your problem may be more significant than you realize it is.
- Are you trying to hide your behaviors?
- Do you experience mood swings in regards to sex?
- Has your partner mentioned you seem to be more controlling regarding intimacy?
- Do you have obsessive thoughts about pornography or sexual activity?
- Have you noticed you feel defensive when questioned about your sexual behaviors?
- Do you need to view pornography in order to have a sexual response when you're intimate with your partner?
- Do you expect your sexual experience to match those you view? If so, do you feel a lack of desire to be physically intimate?
- Have you been isolating from or avoiding your loved ones?
- Do you remain at the office, etc. so you can view porn or engage in other sexual behaviors without interruption?
If you answered yes, you might have an addiction. As a result, it may be the perfect time to reach out for professional help.

On the Thirtenth episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss CONSENT with co host Lisa Torney.Sexual consent is when you and your sexual partner both agree to have sex. It is important to ask for consent before engaging in sexual activity.
In a healthy sexual encounter, both parties should feel comfortable communicating their needs without feeling fearful or coerced. If #MeToo has taught us anything, it is that we need to start having open and clear conversations around consent.
Giving consent is when you clearly agree to take part in any sexual activity.
If someone seems unsure, stays silent, doesn’t respond, or says ‘maybe’ this isn’t consent. Having sex without consent is wrong and illegal.
You always have the right to say no to any form of sexual activity. And you can agree to do something then change your mind – everyone has the right to do this, even if you are in a long-term relationship or married.
Giving and getting consent may feel awkward. But being able to share what you feel comfortable with will make the experience of sex more enjoyable.
Many girls grow up being told that saying “no” to men is wrong. This can make it really difficult to say no to sexual activities, even if you want to.
But remember, everyone has the right to say no to any form of sexual activity. It doesn’t matter who the other person is, whether it’s your first time with them, you’re married or in a long-term relationship, or what you’ve done with them or others before.
Giving consent for one type of sexual activity doesn’t mean you’re giving consent to go further. Agreeing to kiss someone doesn’t mean you’ve said yes to them taking your clothes off, for example.
They may say it in other ways, like “not right now”, “I’m not sure”, or they might stay silent. Their body language might also be a signal – they may turn away, curl up, or not respond.
Sometimes our bodies will be turned on but we don’t want to be touched. But even if a penis is erect or the vagina is wet – it’s not an automatic invitation. That’s why it’s always important to check.

On the Twelfth episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss MALE BODY IMAGE with co host Lawrence Akers.Your body image is how you think and feel about your body. Body image involves your thoughts, perceptions, imagination and emotions. It may have little to do with your actual appearance. Although body image issues have traditionally been thought of as a women's health concern, they can affect people of all ages and genders.
Poor body image is often linked to dieting, over-exercising, or eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, and to other mental health issues such as low self-esteem, depression or anxiety.
Poor body image or body dissatisfaction often results from comparing your body with what the media tells you is the ideal male body size and shape - namely, lean and muscular. It is not uncommon for men with body dissatisfaction to be focussed on weight loss and muscle building, which can lead to over-exercising and the use of image enhancing drugs.
Studies suggest that around 11 per cent of Australian men are on a weight loss diet at any given time, and it is thought that around one third of people with an eating disorder are male (although it is likely that this is under-reported).
It is thought that certain male groups, such as young men, gay men, athletes, body builders, models and dancers, among others, may be particularly vulnerable to poor body image or feeling insecure about their bodies. This is because they are more likely to be in situations where they may be judged (or believe they will be judged) according to their weight and appearance.
Lawrence Akers:
My goal is to help people adjust in this ever-changing world that we live in so that they can experience a rich, meaningful existence.
I’ve experienced stress and anxiety first hand and I know how it can impact our lives in so many ways.
I help people to give them strategies and tools to help them deal with the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that hold them back.
To see people experience that shift in their thinking and to step forward into the best version of themselves that they can be is something that gives my work so much meaning.
Release Hypnosis is also one of the few clinical hypnotherapy practices specialising in the unique needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and intersex communities.
I’ve worked with the LGBTQIA+ community over many years, originally as a facilitator for the Victorian AIDS Council ‘Young & Gay’ program and their ‘Boyant’ program. My knowledge of LGBTQIA+ issues comes from years of working with the community as well as my own first hand personal experiences.
I offer one-on-one counselling and hypnotherapy solutions as well as my regular podcast OUTthink which looks at the mental health of the LGBTQIA+ community through special guests and discussion.

On the ELEVENTH episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss CONFUSHION & UNCERTAINTY with co host ADAM COX.William Blake, the English poet, painter and printmaker, is quoted as saying that “Without contraries, there is no progression.” Author David Robson of The Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes tells us that, “The latest neuroscience…shows that we learn best when we are confused.” Blake is saying that we need to engage with contraries (feelings, ideas, etc.) in order to emerge from them to make progress. Robson explains how we learn best when things are a bit tough, through “desirable difficulties”
There are times in your life when you don’t want to pressure yourself to find answers, but want to give yourself time to explore your jumble of thoughts and feelings to see what emerges: choosing a college or career, picking a life partner, finding purpose to engage you in retirement, moving to a new geographical area, deciding whether to have children, choosing to end a marriage, or figuring out a new way of living after the death of a spouse. Bulletin: You are supposed to feel uncertain during these times.
Consider how you learned to feel uncomfortable with confusion and not knowing. If your parents always needed to be right and focused on perfection, they modeled unhealthy behavior. If they insisted that you not waffle and hedge, but know your mind and proceed full steam ahead, they wrongly made it seem that mixed feelings and doubts were negative and unhelpful feelings—because they weren’t comfortable with these states and, therefore, couldn’t teach you how to be. Or if you were overwhelmed with mixed feelings for much of your childhood, far beyond what your young brain could handle, these same feelings now bring back the anxiety of your youth.
Start by valuing mixed feelings and being curious rather than judgmental about them. Be interested in them rather than in obtaining a final answer. Then see what happens.

On the TENTH episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss KNOWING YOUR BODY with co host GRANT SHEPHERD.Male body shame isn't talked about often enough. And there's a perfectly good reason for that, which is that men don't like to talk about their emotions. Most dudes would rather be bitten by piranhas than spontaneously monologue about their tender feelings. Men are socialized not to show weakness, as we all know. This isn't entirely a bad thing — there's a lot to be said for stoicism. But being in control of your feelings doesn't mean you don't have them. And it's good to acknowledge some of the painful, weird parts of being a dude, like the fact that basically everyone feels like their body is insufficient.
Most people are familiar with the five senses (touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste), but not everyone knows that we have an additional sense called interoception. This is the sense of our body’s internal state. It helps us feel and interpret internal signals that regulate vital functions in our body, like hunger, thirst, body temperature and heart rate.
Although we don’t take much notice of it, it’s an extremely important sense as it ensures that every system in the body is working optimally. It does this by alerting us to when our body may be out of balance – such as making us reach for a drink when we feel thirsty or telling us to take our jumper off when we’re feeling too hot.
Interoception is also important for our mental health. This is because it contributes to many psychological processes - including decision making, social ability and emotional wellbeing.
Disrupted interoception is even reported in many mental health conditions – including depression, anxiety and eating disorders. It may also explain why many mental health conditions share similar symptoms – such as disturbed sleep or fatigue.

In the NINTH episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss KINK & FETISH with co host Dic Savvy.
There are many types of "kinks," When it comes to sexual activity, this is normally something that is deemed outside of mainstream. A kink usually adds extra erotic energy to a sexual interaction (think: BDSM, role play or polyamory).
However, it's important to remember that kink is a matter of taste. While your mother-in-law may find sex toys sexy, your best friend thinks they're just plain boring.
Something that must be present in order for the individual who has it to feel sexually aroused or satisfied by it is known as a "fetish." Having intercourse in public, for example, is one example of this (like feet). In this case, the key point to keep in mind is that a fetish is something that a person cannot get aroused by without. While thinking about a fetish may be sufficient for some, others may require real interaction with the object or behaviour in question.
What, exactly, is the distinction between kink and fetish?
The terms "kink" and "fetish" are often used interchangeably, which is why we can see the muddle. Doctor Torrisi describes the distinction as one between what a person enjoys doing and what a person is forced to do in order to have sexual pleasure.
Here's an example: if you hear your neighbours fighting while you're in bed and it gets you excited, that's kinky. There are certain people, though, who have a penchant for listening or watching other people engage in sex in order to become excited.
What are the safest ways to experiment with kinks and fetishes?
When it comes to quirks and fetishes, the importance of permission and safety preparedness. You'll need to acquire a trustworthy accomplice and conduct thorough study in order to succeed (like learning how to properly tie a knot, for example). Keep in mind the acronym RACK, which stands for "risk-aware consensual kink," not a fetish. In the kink world, it's a term used to ensure that all parties feel safe and comfortable.
There are many excellent materials available from those in the field of kink and fetishism. To find items, educators, research, and joining a group to learn about safe ways to explore kink and fetishism is very crucial.

In the EIGHTH episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss MASK MEN WEAR with co host Markus Van Driel..
Masculinity refers to the social roles, behaviors, and meanings prescribed for men in any given society at any one time. As such, it emphasizes gender, not biological sex, and the diversity of identities among different groups of men.
Masculinity is a form of gender, variously defined as an identity, a social role, and a form of power and is typically, though not exclusively, associated with men.
identified four different types of masculinity: hegemonic, subordinate, complacent and marginal. In the first case, hegemonic masculinity is the form embodying male domination and exercising power and authority over women (and other men), with all the consequences of oppression, violence and privileges.
Traits like integrity, authenticity, and how he cares for himself and those around him are integral to how a man perceives his own masculinity today — versus physical strength, power, and affluence that prior generations may have prioritized.”
The crisis of masculinity relates to the shift in our societal structure that has changed what it means to be masculine. Due to a shift in gender norms and power structures, women now have more independence and professional status and no longer need to fulfill traditional roles.
Because every man must be invulnerable and tough, emotions are carefully managed and suppressed. There can be no crying, no pain, no feeling. So he puts up a wall between him and the world, to protect himself, to pretend he doesn't feel the things he does. While wearing a Stoic Mask, he views weakness is an invitation to scrutiny and judgment and rejection.
One of the clearest ways a man can distinguish himself is on the field or on the court. He is like a modern-day gladiator whose weapon isn't death, but domination. Sports are how men prove themselves, and a good athlete is a good man—period. He spends hours in the gym to get in shape.
There is no clearer sign of a man's worth than the amount of money in his bank account. Not only do men work incredibly hard—and sometimes do questionable things—to make as much money as possible, it's all for naught if other people don't know how much money he has.
A man does not feel fear. A man takes risks. Whether that's betting his life savings on a company or cliff diving or smoking and drinking in incredible quantities, a man doesn't have time to think about consequences, he's too busy doing.
A man is not only physically dominant but intellectually dominant too. If you don't understand why that is, a man is happy to explain it to you—along with all the other subjects he's an expert in.
At the most basic level, men believe that there are only two types of men: alphas and betas, winners and losers. No man can stand to be the latter—so a man must dominate, one up, and win everything.

In the SEVENTH episoide of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss MARRIED LIFE with co host Greg Riley. .
For men, life after marriage can be rather unsettling, as they are required to change substantially in their behaviour and commitment. With marriage men begin to see themselves as fathers, providers and protectors, an absolute transition from their previous carefree portrayal of self.
Men change after marriage because of different reasons. Most of the men become less caring and less romantic after marriage. ... After marriage, a man has to concentrate on several things from getting a house to making his wife and children happy. Their sense of responsibilities increases.
One of the most important legal changes that occurs when you get married is the acquisition of “marital property”. Whether it is a house, boat, car, television, or just a coffee mug, any asset that is acquired by either spouse during the marriage may treated as a marital property in a divorce.
Married men are more likely to receive regular checkups and medical care, maintain healthy diets, exercise, and enjoy higher standards of living. In addition, married men benefit from lower levels of stress and fewer stress-related diseases. They also receive better care during times of illness.

In the SIXTH episoide of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we discuss MENS SEXUAL DIFFICULTIES with co host Lisa Torney.
What exactly are male sexual difficulties?
Sexual dysfunction is prevalent, affecting more than half of all couples at some point. Sexual dysfunction rarely poses a threat to physical health, but it can have a significant psychological impact, causing sadness, anxiety, and incapacitating feelings of inadequacy. Sexual issues in men, particularly erectile dysfunction, may indicate an increased risk of vascular disease; thus, discuss them with your doctor.
The most common types of male sexual dysfunction include:
Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is the inability to achieve or maintain an adequate erection for sexual activity.
Premature ejaculation is the inability to delay orgasm and ejaculation to the point where they occur very early in the course of sexual interaction, leaving the other partner dissatisfied.
Male orgasmic disorder: difficulty to achieve orgasm (climax) with a partner; unable to achieve orgasm without prolonged sexual contact; failure to achieve orgasm during intercourse. In certain instances, orgasm can only be attained by masturbation or oral sex.
Inhibited or hypoactive sexual desire: a lack of interest in sexual intercourse or an absence of sexual desire altogether.
Retrograde ejaculation: instead of erupting from the end of the penis, the sperm enters the bladder backwards during orgasm. This is not hazardous. It is a common adverse effect of several drugs.
If your sexual difficulty only occurs in specific situations or with specific sexual partners, then your disease is termed "situational" as opposed to "generalised" (occurring regardless of the circumstances or partner).
Many of these sexual problems will manifest at some point in a man's lifetime. In fact, some researchers only consider a diagnosis of sexual dysfunction if the issue occurs in 25% of all sexual attempts.

Sexual or relationship concerns can be difficult to talk about and may negatively impact on our emotional well-being. Intimate problems often do not get better on their own and sex and relationship therapy can assist you to achieve the healthy, happy sex life you’re deserve.

On Episode 5 of the HARDER SHAFT podcast we speak with JOAO FLOENCIO. We discuss THE HISTORY OF AIDS & SEX.
JOAO FLOENCIO is a queer cultural theorist of the body rechearching visual cultures of sexuality, health and illness in relation to wider Western biopolitical, philosophical and technoscientific histories.His monograph Bareback Porn, Porous Masculinities, Queer Futures: The Ethics of Becoming-Pig(Routledge, 2020) analyses contemporary gay "pig" masculinities, which have developed alongside antiretroviral therapies, online porn, and new sexualised patterns of recreational drug use. It examines them and their pornographic representations, speculating on their ethical and biopolitical dimensions in relation to modern European histories, ideologies and conceptualisations of the male body.
The work of João Florêncio, therefore, contributes to a widening and greater understanding of our conventions of gender and sexuality. Fleeing from simplistic answers and solutions, the author demonstrates how much the relationships between these elements are often contradictiory and with recurrent dislocations, and that the "norm" and the "transgression" can even walk together, inhabiting the same practice (or the same desire). And this is the power of the liminal and frontier space, since it is in these fissures that lines of flight are presented, alternative paths can be taken and new world(s) are possible.Joao is currently working on a new book project entitled Crossings: Creative Ecologies of Cruising. Co-written with artist Liz Rosenfeld, it will be part autotheoretical speculation, part critical reflection, on the ethics, politics and ecologies of the (chiefly) gay male practice of cruising for sex.

We experience shame when we feel a painful sense of being inadequate, flawed or unworthy. Shame is the opposite of pride and it's very similar to guilt – both involve negative self-judgment. Guilt occurs when we feel badly about what we have or haven't done, whereas shame is feeling badly about ourselves as a person.
Voices often accompany the terrible feeling, often the voice of the person who forced the toxic shame into the sufferer. It creates terrible feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy. People will regularly think negative thoughts about themselves, and believe them, such as: “I'm unloveable” or “I'm never good enough”
Shame describes feelings of inadequacy created by internalized negative beliefs about oneself. Personal insecurities, secrets, mistakes, and perceived flaws can all trigger shame responses, causing people to become extremely self-conscious, self-critical, and embarrassed.
We feel shame when we violate the social norms we believe in. At such moments we feel humiliated, exposed and small and are unable to look another person straight in the eye. We want to sink into the ground and disappear. Shame makes us direct our focus inward and view our entire self in a negative light
Lawrence Akers:
My goal is to help people adjust in this ever-changing world that we live in so that they can experience a rich, meaningful existence.
I’ve experienced stress and anxiety first hand and I know how it can impact our lives in so many ways.
I help people to give them strategies and tools to help them deal with the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that hold them back.
To see people experience that shift in their thinking and to step forward into the best version of themselves that they can be is something that gives my work so much meaning.
Release Hypnosis is also one of the few clinical hypnotherapy practices specialising in the unique needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and intersex communities.
I’ve worked with the LGBTQIA+ community over many years, originally as a facilitator for the Victorian AIDS Council ‘Young & Gay’ program and their ‘Boyant’ program. My knowledge of LGBTQIA+ issues comes from years of working with the community as well as my own first hand personal experiences.
I offer one-on-one counselling and hypnotherapy solutions as well as my regular podcast OUTthink which looks at the mental health of the LGBTQIA+ community through special guests and discussion.

The third episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast hosted by Joe-y Busuttil & co host Adam Cox.
What exactly is shame?
Shame encompasses feelings about who you are and how you feel about yourself after doing something wrong, such as believing that you are not good enough, that you are a bad person, or that you are broken. You can make yourself feel ashamed, and others can shame you (if you allow them to), lowering your self-esteem.
Shame is preferable to guilt.
When you feel guilty, it is an awareness of your choices or behaviours, not of who you are. You feel bad about yourself when you are ashamed. You recognise you made a poor decision, which you can correct or apologise for, but it has nothing to do with your self-worth.
Shame is the polar opposite of empathy.
Empathy is the ability to "put yourself in someone else's shoes" and experience what they are experiencing. And if you can't do that exactly, you tell them you don't know how they feel, but you're here to listen and help. Being open without attempting to solve the person's problem is essential in allowing them to work through their feelings of shame with love, respect, trust, and kindness.
Vulnerability necessitates the development of trust over time.
Trust necessitates the accumulation of social support over time. The more you trust someone, the more comfortable you are being vulnerable with them. Trust also necessitates visibility, which is difficult if you are accustomed to hiding your emotions or if any aspect of your identity is still hidden in the closet.
The more vulnerable you are, the more joy you will feel.
Practicing "active gratitude" is one of the best ways to experience more joy in your life. Begin a gratitude journal or simply write about what you are grateful for in your journal at the beginning and end of each day.
ADAM COX:
Adam Cox is a trainer, mentor and coach for single gay men.
With over 9,000 hours under his belt and 19 years experience in the training and coaching space, Adam successfully leads men through profound personal transformation.
Adam grew up hating himself: he didn't want to be gay! Through his teenage years, he kept his sexuality hidden deep within, an internal battle that waged on in his head for close to 15 years. That, teamed up with severe acne, Adam's early years were somewhat difficult. Rejection after rejection and never feeling like he 'fit in' led him to feel that maybe life wasn't really worth living.
Finding a love for instructing and training at just 18 years of age, Adam became a National Presenter for Les Mills Asia Pacific after just 5 years, and was awarded the Fitness First National Group Fitness Instructor of the Year in the mid-late noughties. Around this time, Adam's passion for music led him to teach himself how to DJ, and later on produce music. Throughout his music career, he played venues such as ivy (SYD), The Metro (SYD) Family (BNE) and The Wickham (BNE) to name but a few.
Yet, whilst electronic music was in his heart and soul, he found himself in an environment that favoured drugs and alcohol. After moving through a 15+ years alcohol and drug addiction (mdma, cocaine, crystal meth, ketamine, ghb) and a 10+ year battle with mental health: depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and almost daily panic attacks, Adam found the launchpad to his ultimate life.
Adam had a desire to launch his own coaching business five years before it's inception, but was held back by self-doubt and fear. He didn't think he was good enough. This 'not enough-ness' played out in his relationships too: he was the ultimate people pleaser. Four beautiful relationships with phenomenal men, all with powerful lessons to learn, and deeper inner healing completed with each one.
Yet, through heartbreak, numerous business failures, rejection, mental health challenges, suicide ideation, addiction there was an underlying feeling that there was something else, so he went on a journey to find answers.
After working with coaches and mentors almost non-stop for close to 4 years, and experiencing life-changing-transformations on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level, he found something. He discovered that for most of his adult life, he never quite felt safe to be his true authentic self: becoming chameleon-like in order to fit and and be liked. This catapulted him into a journey back home to find his true self: an epic expedition ranging from heartache and loss to utter bliss and pure excitement.
Attracting his dream man (which has since found completion!), building a soul aligned business, living where he wants to live and surrounded by 'full body fuck yes' friendships, ignited with passion, purpose and a joy for existence, Adam not only thrives on life itself, but has used his massive career and life experience to usher other gay men home to their authentic self.
He discovered that the secret to life wasn't about what was done, but who someone becomes, and has use his wisdom to created strategies and effective processes that can rapidly transform someone's mind, body and soul. He helps gay men let go from their past, heal, gain clarity on what they truly want, and empowers them to launch into confidently creating a life that is aligned to their heart and soul.
He helps single gay men BECOME the dream man that they are seeking, helping them confidently own their worth, love the man in the mirror, speak and act with authenticity and courageously go after what they want.
You can use what you want from this mate.

On the second episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast hosted by Joe-y Busuttil & New Zealands own Grant Shepherd. .
Interested in learning more about Tantra.
Despite its age as a philosophical system that dates back more than a century, Tantra has gained popularity in the West in recent decades.
You may have heard the term "tantra" used in the media and in spiritual circles to describe ecstatic, open relationships and multiple orgasms in tantric sex (where it can have different overtones such as: connection, celebration, intimacy, transcendence, divine consciousness, and so on).
You may not have heard of Tantra before, but we'd like to show you how this ancient Eastern wisdom can make every day of your life a joy.
When Tantra was first developed, it was based on a combination of Hinduism and Buddhism.
Tantric insights:
Instead of simply referring to "a loom," the term "Tantra" is used in Indian tradition to denote "text, theory, system, method, tool, technique, and practise."
"Incorporating traditions and teachings into texts, techniques, or practises" is how Tantra is described in ancient texts.
Interpretations and misinterpretations of ancient texts were greatly influenced by their use of highly metaphorical language, which left a wide open field for interpretation (to prevent uninitiated people from applying its principles in the wrong way).
All things in the universe are manifestations of the divine energy that governs the universe itself, and this includes everyone and everything in it. In this trance-inducing ritual, Shiva and Shakti, the masculine and feminine archetypes, the Sun and the Moon, night and day, and life and death, all dance together.
In this way, Tantra can be viewed as the ultimate self-realisation tool for reaching enlightenment and realising the oneness of all things in the universe.
All things have a divine nature, and we are no exception. All of life's aspects, including the senses, are included in this divine vision.
Tantra is an excellent choice when it comes to practicality.
Beyond intellectual comprehension, we must engage our bodies, senses, and emotions in order to fully comprehend our divine nature.
It is to one's life, and not to a particular deity, that one should devote oneself.
The two are inseparable in the world of tantra.
Everything in the universe has a divine purpose, including our sexual energy.
This blissful state of being can be achieved by using lovemaking as a means of transcending the physical level in Tantra.
According to Western interpretations of Tantric teachings, sexuality is a central theme.
The use of sex as a means to attain enlightenment is not the only way Tantra can be defined. It's a spiritual tool that can help you ascend to a higher plane of existence.
Everything else was thrown out in favour of what was simple and quick (including the sexual component).
Tantras from the past
There are three main ways to practise tantra, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
It is Tantric Sexuality's concentration on sexual energy that makes it unique. In Tantra, sexual energy is held in high esteem. The universe's most potent and healing force is that of sexual attraction. Chi (Prana) is recirculated through the body and transformed into unlimited strength, vigour, and creative potential through procedures such as energy orgasms, semen and sexual energy retention, divine feminine and divine male energy embodiment, and many others. People who use this energy in the right way gain greater insight into the meaning of relationships and intimacy, as well as a deeper connection with their own sensuality and sexuality. They also gain greater physical power as well as healing for a variety of ailments, including mental health issues (depression and anxiety), as well as physical and chronic immune imbalances. The advantages are genuinely innumerable.
An integral part of Tantra Energy Healing's approach to healing is the activation and harmonisation of energy channels in order to facilitate the optimal flow of clean energy for mind-body-and-soul detoxification, the removal of trauma and blockages caused by previous wounds, and the empowerment of a person to realise their full sexual - orgatic potential and experience profound spiritual awakening.

The first episode of the HARDER SHAFT podcast is co hosted by Sydney's Naked Barber himself, DIC SAVVAY. On the show we discuss MEN & PORN.
Pornography is now accessible through a simple internet search and is getting increasingly immersive. What effect does it have on people's actions, relationships, and desires?
There are few things that are truly universal. However, millions of individuals throughout the world view porn while speaking different languages, eating different cuisines, and even feeling different emotions. Porn is vilified as the source of society's woes, despite its widespread consumption.
Welcome to the HARDER SHAFT podcast.
The podcast for men about MENS Sexual Health.
Each episode contains an interview with an expert with something to share. Casual, short and easy to digest. We endeavour to discuss MENS SEXUAL HEALTH issues that MEN may face in their lives. Speaking the mental, physical and emotional language that MEN understand.
Men have historically avoided self reflection, so our podcast aims to inspire listeners.
We are passionate about a SEX POSITIVE life.
Podcast episodes out 9am (AEST) Mondays.
Taking men into vulnerability, transparency and self acceptance. This created a much needed narrative into MENS Sexual Health.
This awareness needs to continue to evolve and expand its reach, and within my Psychotherapy work I have been really observing where MENS health is about to implode.
THIS new venture is expanding on something I do already but wanting to take it directly to the men in need. It may come across as daring, some may say irresponsible. But the one thing I love doing is pushing the envelope.

Its our FINAL EPISODE - On this weeks interview on the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to TAYLOR ROARK about ARCHETYPES.
Taylor Roark is committed to transformational change in the world by helping people bring their heart’s true expressions into the world through individuality and connectivity.
Taylor has worked with intuition for more than 15 years — training with Maryann Madden, founder and director of The Inner Energy Centre in Brisbane, Australia. He has also been accredited to Level 4 Mastery through Natural Success Academy, founded and run by international best-selling author William Whitecloud.
Prior to founding Galliant Trainings, Taylor worked as a commercial lawyer and consultant for nearly 20 years providing legal, commercial and strategic advice for corporate transactions and renewable energy projects around the world.
Taylor is an avid traveller, a keen cyclist, an amateur photographer, a weekend DJ and a Taoist at heart. He chooses to live life as a mythical adventure.
Archetypes are universal, inborn models of people, behaviors, or personalities that play a role in influencing human behavior. They were introduced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who suggested that these archetypes were archaic forms of innate human knowledge passed down from our ancestors.
In Jungian psychology, the archetypes represent universal patterns and images that are part of the collective unconscious. Jung believed that we inherit these archetypes much in the way we inherit instinctive patterns of behavior.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
On this weeks interview on the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to SCOTT OHLGREN about Botanical Medicine for Mental Health.
Scott Ohlgren is the owner and formulator of Synaptic Scientific. His had a long interest in natural foods as medicine going back to the mid-70s, and a particular love of cognitive and longevity herbal formulas. He graduated from a natural foods school in the ’80s, and wrote three books on the diet-disease/diet-health connection that sold 80,000 hard copies in print. In 2007, he started what was arguably the world’s first non-caffeinated think drink company, and our Brain Toniq beverage was the first nootropic ever to be sold in Whole Foods. By 2012, over 1,400 health food stores across North America, Europe and Russia were carrying Brain Toniq with over 2.5 million units a year.
The impetus behind Synaptic Scientific is to take all of the best superfoods that Scott has been using himself for decades, and to create a small set of extremely potent, best-in-their-class formulas that have a noticeable, palpable effect on health, and to find a way to price them better than anything else in the marketplace.
His decades-long mission carries through in Synaptic Scientific, and that is to expose more and more people to the power and intelligence of using herbal plants as their main medicine cabinet.
Brain chemicals—serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and more—influence mood, mental health, and sound reasoning. Chemical imbalances of these can easily be caused by stress, bad dietary choices and the use of chemical stimulants.

On this weeks interview on the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to children's book author Josh Langley about TEACHING THE NEXT GENERATION OF BOYS.
Through the act of storytelling and being listened to, we can connect to our past, others, and ourselves. Passing on our legacy through our stories is not only a way to teach our values, it is also the essence of passing on a sense of self worth and identity to the next generation of men.
We want our children to be happy, reach their potential, and live fulfilling lives. Increasingly, and especially in today’s awareness of inequality, we also aspire for them to be part of a fair and equal society.
Josh Langley was told he would amount to nothing in life, having failed high school (twice) and being unemployed for several years, but that didn’t stop Josh from becoming a multi award-winning radio copywriter and award-winning children’s author.
Josh’s debut children’s book, Being You is Enough changed the trajectory of his life. Written as a love letter to his 8-year-old self, it’s message of self-acceptance and love resonated with kids and parents around the world. He went on to publish 9 books and in 2018 won the Australian Book Industry Awards Small Publishers’ Children’s Book of Year, for his second children’s book It’s Ok to Feel the Way You Do (Big Sky Publishing 2017).
Now his ground-breaking children’s books, programs and school talks on self-acceptance, resilience, understanding emotions and kindness, are helping thousands of kids make friends with themselves.
Josh lives on 7 and a half acres in the Southwest of Western Australia with his husband and his favourite food is tortellini. Josh is the ambassador for the Children’s Tumour Foundation and Camp Quality and was voted a Westfield Local Hero for the work he does with CTF.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk about Being a Humble man with global mens coach Dave Gold..
A humble person is more socially-oriented than self-centered. Being humble means you not only evaluate yourself with honesty, but also always seek honest feedback from people who matter. By getting other people's reviews, humble people ensure that they are not misguided about their own abilities.
A humble person is not proud and does not believe that they are better than other people. He gave a great performance, but he was very humble. Synonyms: modest, meek, unassuming, unpretentious More Synonyms of humble.
Humility attracts others and opportunities. So the less you boast and focus on yourself, the more others want to be with you and work with you. The concept that opposites attract applies to the character trait of humility.
Humble people are willing to see themselves accurately and appreciate feedback. Errors and mistakes provide feedback on one's own actions. So humble people see value in errors and the information that they provide for their own learning. This gives them an edge over others.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk about Emotional Intelligence with renowned coach Daniel Tolson.
Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.
As a child, Daniel Tolson had Linear sequential learning disability. He was a slow learner. He had a curved spine. His hips were out of alignment. He couldn’t run. His knees would collapse when he was running.
This is his story.....
This physical defect created pressure in my head, I was losing my vision. I couldn’t think properly. I was in so much pain physically.
In the end, my body collapsed under this tremendous stress, I developed chronic fatigue syndrome and contracted Epstein Barr virus and I had to drop out of school.
When I recovered my uncle took me under his wing and showed me the blueprint of how to become the top 10% in real estate. I took that blueprint, overcompensated with actions, became the top 1% performer, and bought my first home at the age of 19.
But I dreamt of becoming an Australian champion wakeboarder. So, I gave up the real estate career to pursue my dream. I had a lot of challenges. To overcome the fear and achieve my goal, I spent a lot of time and energy on personal development, learning how to systematically and methodically break barriers to achieve goals. Eventually, I became the Australian Wakeboarder Champion, not once, but three times.
That experience of creating my breakthrough and sustaining it set me up for a series of career highs, such as co-leading 17000 cabin crews, launching my own business, and building a global business that impacts more than 15,000 business people 100X their life and income.
In 2010, at the peak of my career, my wife was involved in an aircraft accident. It left her with some disabilities requiring multiple surgeries over the next 2.5 years. Eventually, she lost her job and was forced to leave the country. I left the job to join her back home to take care of her.
But 10 months and 500 job applications later, I was jobless. We were living with my grandmother, depending on Australian social security payments. It was the lowest point of my life. I was desperate. And I knew if I want to be a man who provides for my family, things must change.
I pulled myself together, used every tool and technology I have in my toolbox, got clarity on life, and launched my coaching business from my grandmother’s spare bedroom.
I wish I could say life was happy ever after. But no, success never comes on the first attempt. Richard Branson launched 400 companies before founding Virgin galactic. Steven Spielberg was rejected by Film School 3 times. I was betrayed by a business partner. I had to move countries several times. I was broke three times in 3 different countries and had to start all over again.
Let’s talk about the work you do. What do you specialise in and why should someone work with you over the competition?
You can start by learning to identify the emotions you are feeling as well as understanding them. If you are able to name the emotion you are feeling, you have a better chance of understanding what you are feeling. You can also learn to better regulate your emotions just by stopping and thinking before you act and judge. These skills will help you martial inner resolve and stick to what really matters in life.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk Paul Martino about the Lost Boys generation.
Paul Marino is a professional who has achieved success through little more than hard work, perseverance, and getting some good advice along the way. His path to success was far from a smooth ride, and he learned some painful but essential lessons. He would like to share some of these lessons as well a few mistakes he made through the telling of humorous, sometimes tragic, but always honest stories. The topics covered in this book include several universal rites of passage such as struggling, failure, finding purpose, and generating fulfilment.
Each chapter in this book is succinct and reads like a combat manual for mindful living. Ideal for any young professional or new college graduate, the advice contained in this book is timeless, encouraging, and applicable to life. Sometimes sarcastic and sometimes serious, the authors never stray from the central theme; don't take yourself too seriously.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to Sex Coach Sarrah Rose about Sexual Power.
Sarrah Rose is a Certified Sex Coach specialise Men’s Sexuality and Tantra.
For a very long time, I was sexually repressed, and it took years before I became comfortable and confident with my sexuality. A lot of the thoughts that I had about sex were negative.Sex wasn’t fun, pleasurable or exciting but instead, it was something that I just did because I was supposed to do. I settled for a lot of really bad sexual experiences.
I faked orgasms and made guys feel better than they really were, which completely sucked and I got nothing out of it.
It wasn’t just me…my girlfriends said the same thing…we complained about it but accepted that it was reality.
Like many others, I had partners that were no good in bed, negative conditioning from the way that society and religion view sexuality and trauma that had numbed me. It took me a very long time to become confident sexually.
I decided that I wanted to learn more and become an expert in Tantra, so I became certified as a coach.
I realised that the conventional way of having sex could no longer be accepted as the norm.
After I became certified, I began teaching women and they also had profound results but they kept begging me to teach men.
They wanted men to be this kind of lover and to be able to satisfy them in this way.
I looked at what was going on in society.
Based on my own experiences with men and what other women were reporting, many guys had lost their way with women.
Because of the atrocious actions of some men in previous generations and also some men in current times, all guys were and are paying a price.
And women are paying the price with them.
Feminism, #MeToo and Equality have done a much needed job in culture.
And, that’s why I created Man on Fire.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to coach, Chris Polourde about the importance of Emotional Tolerance,
Being with your feelings involves accurately recognising your emotional state. Often, many mislabel their feelings and therefore manage them incorrectly. Thinking back to your upbringing could offer insight into why you respond to certain situations in certain ways today. For example, if crying was not tolerated in your household, this could be why you suppress emotions attached to sadness. Further, maybe you were told to “suck it up,” which is why you suppress or deny certain feelings today.
How you’re feeling might not coincide with what you’re expressing. For example, you might say that you’re stressed out rather than angry, or tired rather than sad. It is also essential to recognize the perception you may have developed about certain feelings. Give yourself permission to experience a full range of emotions. Experiencing feelings is different than expressing them.
If there is one thing I’ve learned in my 20+ years of coaching, it’s that the journey to your most authentic, fulfilled, and happy self begins from the inside out. The process of falling in love with the journey of self discovery means embracing your unique story so that you have clarity on where you have been and where you are meant to be.
Chris Polourde is a coach, businessman, father, and husband. He has worked with top athletes and well-known companies, celebrities, moms/dads, and even military special ops. As a Former Master Trainer and Presenter, Ihe has created and presented content both nationally and internationally, on the mental and physical aspects of training for peak performance in all areas of life. As a former Chief Executive with Men’s Teams and Organisations, he mentored many men to find their authentic self and create leadership qualities which they could bring to their families, communities and businesses.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to healing coach, Adam Stanecki about entering the heart to heal.
We live in a world where the pain and suffering we see around us is almost more than we can bear. Regularly, we witness people hurting each other and themselves. Trusting others can become difficult because we have been betrayed, abused, used and abandoned. We have all been lied to and we have all been left behind. Every one of us has been, in some way, hurt by someone else. Some of us have been hurt so deeply that our healing will last forever. Because we have been hurt by others and because we have witnessed the pain that some individuals are capable of inflicting on other human beings —the apathy and disregard for life that exists, we close our hearts.
Opening and balancing your heart chakra allows past grievances to be released and allows you to open yourself up to love, forgiveness, kindness and compassion. When the Heart Chakra is out of balance, or closed, people tend to feel anger, grief, or hatred.
You feel light, free, expansive and alive. ... Living from your heart space means listening to your feelings and understanding what they are telling you. It feels just right and aligned to who you are. It feels authentic.
The spiritual heart is considered by many to be the seat of human emotion and psychic energy. We as humans, possess the power to heal and the power to destroy. The spiritual heart is the main conduit of this immense power. The invisible frequency that we emit from our hearts can have a direct and indirect effect on the world around us. The space in which this loving frequency can flow is regulated by our ability and willingness to open our hearts completely.
When we open our hearts wide and hold that space, we introduce healing to the world. When we close our hearts, we barricade that space, and employ the degradation of healing vibrations. Our hearts are powerful beyond measure. Our emotions alter the world around us. When we hold the space in our hearts open for others, life can be beautiful and love bountiful.
Adam Stanecki has investigated over 25 years learning how to live the best life possible. He has done a whole lot of work on himself , and helped thousands of people on their journeys too.
I now hold space and provide guidance as a Men’s Coach so that I can help men be all that they can be and in turn be of great service to the world. how to live the best life possible. I’ve done a whole lot of work on myself, and I’ve helped thousands of people on their journeys too.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to Google Engineer Donovon Jenson about finding Happiness today
It’s common to overhear individuals speaking about how much they hate their job, another person, or some other facet of their lives. While life is never perfect, why do so many of us allow ourselves to be miserable with certain parts of it? I’ve certainly been guilty of this myself, passively allowing habits, people, and circumstances to limit my happiness. As we transcend primal needs, I believe many of us are missing essentials tools and information to achieve holistic happiness.
Over the past few years I’ve worked hard to cultivate my mindset toward positivity and growth. The process is constant and at times has been extremely difficult, but I find myself becoming more happy as I improve. When I reflect on my journey, there are certain tools and ideas that have fundamentally changed my life for the better and I wish I had encountered them earlier.
This site is my commitment to constantly research these tools to happiness and share my findings with anyone who can benefit. We all deserve to live our best possible lives. I want to continue developing and help everyone else along the way. I know the kinds of resources you encounter make all the difference and I aim to make them more available. If there’s anything I can do to improve the How to Happy, please let me know.
Bio: I’m a Utah native who has long been interested in human development and health. I double majored in psychology and health policy, graduating Magna Cum Laude through the Honors College at the University of Utah. I’m an entrepreneur who has been involved in several projects, mainly focusing on music and poetry. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, writing poetry, and discussing philosophy.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to our regular guest Greg Riley about the New Order of Transformation.
With New Order transformation comes healing and wholeness. It's as if COVID has been waiting in the wings all along, until we made room for real change.
The spiritual practice of transformation holds within its wide embrace the personal renewals that come with a spiritual awakening, a conversion, a mystical epiphany, or an enlightenment. It covers the deepening that takes place when we get in touch with our Higher Self or Spirit.
Transformation usually involves the shedding of old ways, especially those that have become burdens. This practice proclaims that no matter who you are, no matter what has already happened to you, no matter what you have done, it is still possible to be and do something new.
Transformation implies a marked change in your life, but you can practice it by making simple changes. Start by doing something different — walk to work by a new route, answer the telephone with your other than usual hand. Break a habit, any habit. Signal Spirit that you are willing to accept change in your life and to be an agent of change in the world.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to Luke Fenwick about the power of leaving a legacy.
An emotional legacy is something that is conceptualised and role modeled during a lifetime. As one starts to age, this legacy can hold greater meaning when time seems to race by. It has to do with who we are as people, what we have to offer, what things we hold dear, and what we want others know about us.
Luke decided it was time to change the story which was supposed to be “the rest of my life”. He stepped away from his corporate role to reevaluate what was important and create beliefs and habits that would carry him forward in life and to his legacy. Stepping away allowed him the opportunity to work towards his vision of being the best father, husband and person he could be. It allowed him time to rewire the actions he took each and every day.
Although a period of challenge, he gained clarity that he needed to have purpose in his work and life, instead of focusing on a pay check or lifestyle. He realised that he had to alter his actions to do what he so desperately wanted to do, those actions move him towards his mission, which is to help as many people do the things they want to do in order to live their best life and create a legacy of fulfilment.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we talk to Fletcher Ellingson and how FEAR can come bearing gifts.
Maybe you have been there or had it even worse. Perhaps you can imagine the stress and panic a person feels when they find themselves in a situation where they have debt and no income. That was me. My business had fallen apart and we were stuck with the debt and no immediate way to generate income. Our situation was dire enough that we qualified for food stamps. It was a low time in my life and yet now, I am grateful it happened. That desperation and despair sparked something in me. I had to begin considering other options and do so quickly! I had to get into massive action and open my mind to the advice of others. Ultimately I had to change my thinking…again. We had taken a huge risk in pursuing our dream of starting a family business. We believed we could do it and we gave it everything we had. But what we didn’t have was the needed knowledge about what it took to run a business. So like the majority of small businesses, we were not able to keep it going and closed up shop after a few years.
Fletcher Ellingson is a personal development coach, speaker, and creator of The Practice of Feeling Good. He helps others break free from financial struggle, overwhelm, and persistent worry so they can spend more time doing what they love, contribute to their families, and make an impact in their communities.
Fletcher has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs, and successful professionals embrace the principles of The Practice of Feeling Good in Business and life. As a result they’ve been able to radically shift their thinking in order to produce outcomes in their health, wealth and relationships which were not previously possible. Using a combination of science, psychology and inquiry into being his clients learn to create, attract, and navigate life with greater ease and joy.
Fletcher has studied with some of the best minds in the personal development industry. In addition to over 25 years of speaking for audiences across the United States he and his wife, Dr. Amy Ellingson host a weekly television show during which they address topics of health, wealth and relationships.
People get from where they are to where they want to be. I provide access to new ways of being which produce powerful and unexpected results!

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast I discuss "Cancel Culture". Within the turbulent past few years, the idea that a person can be “cancelled” — in other words, culturally blocked from having a prominent public platform or career — has become a polarizing topic of debate. The rise of “cancel culture” and the idea of cancelling someone coincides with a familiar pattern: A celebrity or other public figure does or says something offensive. A public backlash, often fuelled by politically progressive social media, ensues.
It’s common to compare cancel culture to “call-out culture” — but its real roots may lie in the civil rights movement
As cancel culture caught on, many members of the public, as well as the media, have frequently conflated it with other adjacent trends — especially “call-out culture.” Cancel culture can be seen as an extension of call-out culture: the natural escalation from pointing out a problem to calling for the head of the person who caused it.
Cancel culture and call-out culture are often confused not only with each other, but also with broader public shaming trends, as part of a collectivised narrative that all of these things are examples of trolling and harassment. The media has sometimes referred to this collectivised narrative as “outrage culture.”

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to CHRIS DELANEY about Unconscious Bias in our current word.. He shares his own experience with bias and he took these moment and created a way to help others interviews, life situations and connection.
Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness. Everyone holds unconscious beliefs about various social and identity groups, and these biases stem from one's tendency to organise social worlds by categorising.
This bias occurs when someone unconsciously associates certain stereotypes with different genders. ... An example of this bias during hiring is if the hiring panel favors male candidates over female candidates even though they have similar skills and job experience. Another well-known example is the gender pay gap.
Why is it important to think about Unconscious Bias? Unconscious bias can affect workplaces and organisations. It can introduce unintentional discrimination and result in poor decision-making. Unconscious Bias can be a huge setback in creating a truly diverse and inclusive workplace

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to STUART WADE about the power of the mind. He shares his experience with assisting people perform at optimal levels in sport & life.
My name is Stuart Wade, I am a qualified Personal Trainer, Level 4 Strength and Conditioning Coach, Licensed NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) Practitioner.
Having trained clients one to one for a few years I noticed something fascinating. Because some clients were fully dedicated, they lost the weight they wanted to. They achieved their goals. Although some clients trained hard when they were with me, they struggled to keep up their healthy diet and exercise when they weren’t seeing me. I firmly believe fitness is as much about your state of mind as it is about the body and now is the time to achieve the body and health you’ve always imagined…
Mind and body
This lead me to study the mind as well as the body. I qualified as an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist to better serve my clients and help them get even better results! Therefore combining hypnosis with physical fitness training my clients achieved more weight loss in a healthy way, in a shorter time!
These methods are scientifically proven to get you the results you want now. Picture how amazing you’ll look being healthier, slimmer, toned up… You can hear those around you complimenting you on your transformation… Feels great don’t you agree?

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to MICHAEL VEE about the importance of connecting with our internal desire to change. He discusses his failures and how he turned them into success.
A self-described Shaved Gorilla, Michael Vee is an artist, an author, a filmmaker, a dog lover and hell of a nice guy.
Just ask anyone.
Armed with a quick wit, a slightly sardonic sense of humor, and a unique perspective, Michael ( Vee to his friends ) is the architect of The Radical Humanist.
He believes the key to recovery lies in helping others.
It’s been instrumental in his own healing and what continues to propel him forward.
”My only goal is to be a little better today than I was yesterday.
And tomorrow, be a little better than I am today.”
That being said, he’s not above going off half-cocked ( sometimes full-cocked )
and making a complete fool of himself if the situation warrants it.
Humor is curative and there are enough embarrassing photos of Vee on the internet to justify that statement.
He lives his life full tilt super boogie and doesn’t understand why anyone would settle for any less. Hunter S. Thompson said it best, “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
In his free time, he enjoys hiking, camping, grilling, riding motorcycles, using Oxford commas, and proving the existence of Bigfoot.
Never one to back down from a challenge or not beat a dead horse, Vee decided that the world needed just one more podcast.
So here we are.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to BEN WINTER about mens expecations, the pressure to become a better man, and what the world now expects from men.
Ben certainly hasn’t been idle in life. A couple of years out of college and he started doing things and going places he never would have expected. From traveling to personal growth to marriage and child to divorce and parenthood to entrepreneurialism and inspiring others. Ben has flown an airplane on his own and has been scuba diving in the Galapagos. He has seen the animals of Tanzania and has traveled all over Europe with a 6-month-old child in tow. He has performed improv for over a decade, acted in several plays, and even a movie. He has owned several businesses.
His biggest passion is exploring the mind.
In all of his personal growth work, the one constant was that it all stems from the mind. Between personal growth and improv, he found this weird realm called expectations. And while most people would shy away from such a thing, he decided to tackle it head-on. Along his journey, he decided that “the only reason anyone gets upset is because an expectation hasn’t been met.” And begin teaching that in his Success Improv business.
From there, he noticed that there has to be a way to use that upset feeling to fix the situation. And he created the amazing “How to stop being upset” flow chart.
From there it was a simple step of taking everything that he has explored on the subject and put it in a book called, “What to Expect when Having Expectations.”

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to CHARLIE RANDELL about how powerful the mind is, that it has the ability to rewire itself.
WHAT DOES NQPC STAND FOR - Not Quite Politically Correct
NQPC blogs want to make a difference in the community by helping companies understand what is needed for disabled access, improving their awareness and encouraging them to include more information on their websites for customers requiring disabled access.
WHO IS BEHIND NQPC?
I’m Charlie Randell - a young wheelchair user with Cerebral Palsy. I work in digital marketing, whilst running a YouTube channel which focuses on disabled lifestyle and fitness. My girlfriend - Gina Twelftree helps me
to run and promote my YouTube channel, whilst also running this blog. Gina writes the blogs from our ideas and experiences. She is basically my glamorous assistant.
WHY DID YOU START NQPC?
I made the decision to start my own YouTube channel in 2017,
I had wanted to for sometime but had been quite nervous
of how successful or - more accurately - how unsuccessful
I would be. After encouragement from my friends I started
making regular fitness, diet and lifestyle vlogs, which have
slowly built up an audience. I met Gina in August 2017 and,
both being ambitious, we came up with idea to include more
videos on what it’s like to be a disabled person. We soon
came up with the idea of making blogs with disabled access
reviews and top tips to further expand our platform and
audience, in the hope we could start to make a change
in the disabled community. So that’s why we’re here - we
want to try and make a difference in the community by
helping companies understand what is needed for disabled
access, improving their awareness and encouraging them to
include more information on their websites for
customers requiring disabled access.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Nick Arhakos about how powerful the mind is, that it has the ability to rewire itself.
“Unlike most, my uniqueness comes from the combination of tarot card reading and life coaching. I'm also fully self-taught.”
Nick is a 22 years old and helps people become the best versions of themselves by the combination of life coaching and tarot card readings. Within the space of coaching, clients don't usually spill 'all the beans' and to find the root of the problem he needs to know the whole story. That's where the tarot cards come in. The tarot cards help him receive guidance from the universe to help put his clients in the right direction.

We celebrate our 150th Episode of the SECRET MENS BUSINESS podcast.
In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Shawn Jacobson about how young woman deal with men, sexual freedom, and double standards.
Shawn is the host of the podcast TOUGH TITTIES - This show is as raw as it gets. She will give it to you straight when it comes to sex, dating, relationships, friendships, mental health and all the good shit in between.
Double standards theory predicts that people use different standards for making inferences about others' abilities based on social status. Social identity processes, however, imply that people evaluate in-group members more positively than out-group members.
The belief that women and men are held to different standards of sexual conduct is pervasive in contemporary American society. According to the sexual double standard, boys and men are rewarded and praised for heterosexual sexual contacts, whereas girls and women are derogated and stigmatized for similar behaviors.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Dean Beck, who discusses self acceptance amongst men, both gay and straight. We explore how he learned to live his true life and not judge what other do - believing that everyone should be allowed to be who they want to be.
Dean Beck is a commentator, broadcaster, journalist and producer with LGBTI radio station JOY 94.9 FM. He is also an ENUF Ambassador and HIV advocate.
Though related, self-acceptance is not the same as self-esteem. Whereas self-esteem refers specifically to how valuable, or worthwhile, we see ourselves, self-acceptance alludes to a far more global affirmation of self. When we're self-accepting, we're able to embrace all facets of ourselves—not just the positive, more "esteem-able" parts. As such, self-acceptance is unconditional, free of any qualification. We can recognize our weaknesses or limitations, but this awareness in no way interferes with our ability to fully accept ourselves.
We all judge and measure each other by our own standards. Accepting this goes a long ways in understanding others.
Have you ever wondered whether you're too quick to judge others? Do you often wonder how it might be affecting your life? No one likes feeling judged; it undermines our confidence, making us see the worst in ourselves and leaving us wondering whether we're not good enough. However, while it’s easy to say “don’t judge others,” it’s far harder to put this advice into practice for yourself.
Of course, it's impossible to refrain from making all judgments. However, if you tend to take a negative, simplistic view of other people then it's well worth thinking about how to change this default attitude. In this guide, we’ll take an in-depth look at why we judge others and explore how to stop judging people. Whether you’re generally quick to judge, are wondering why judging is wrong or know that being judgmental is damaging your relationships, we’ll help you gain a deeper understanding and suggest ways to develop positive new habits.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Terry Tucker about always finding motivation in his life to live the best life possible.He talks about how being diagnosed with cancer and having his foot amputated allowed him dig deep to stay within a motivated place.
In many ways, I believe I am just like any of the billions of people existing on this planet.
I have reinvented myself frequently over my professional career. After I graduated from The Citadel, I was employed in the Marketing Department at the corporate headquarters of Wendy’s International, in Dublin, Ohio. From there I switched to hospital administration for Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. After getting married, I became the Customer Service Manager for an academic publishing company in Santa Barbara, California. Subsequently, I was a police officer in Cincinnati, Ohio. Following a family move to Texas, I started my own consulting business and coached high school basketball in Houston. Each time I took on a new position, I had to develop new skills and faced different challenges. There was always a significant learning curve with each new job.
But my greatest challenge began in early 2012 when I was diagnosed with a rare form of melanoma that presented on the bottom of my foot. By the time the cancer was detected, it had metastasized to a lymph node in my groin. I was treated at the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center. I had two surgeries to remove the cancer, and after I healed, I was put on a weekly injection of Interferon to help keep the disease from returning.
The Interferon gave me severe flu-like symptoms for two - three days every week after each injection. I lost fifty pounds during my therapy, was constantly nauseous, fatigued and chilled, my ability to taste food significantly diminished, and my body continually ached. This misery went on for over 1,660 days!
One thing I learned during all my pain and suffering is that you have two choices. You can either succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being. I chose the latter.
4 Truths are:
-
Control your mind or it will control you.
-
Embrace the pain and suffering we all experience in life and use it to make you a stronger and more determined individual.
-
What you leave behind is what you weave in the hearts of other people.
-
As long as you don't quit - you can never be defeated.
My 4 Truths, along with my 3 Fs (faith, family, and friends) are what I use to make decisions in my life.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Greg Riley about how masculinity is now being addressed in 2021, how old tribal hierarchy can help change the way men behave, and the role of parents in teaching their sons to live their lives.
A man’s primary role is to provide for, protect, and be in relationship with his family. That role requires a man to develop character. But you may have been involved with men who did not live up to their primary roles, and consequently your son may not have had an ideal role model. So here’s my list (compiled with help from single moms) detailing many of the qualities that make a good man. In still these qualities in your boy to help him become a good man.
Instead of scolding our sons about “toxic masculinity,” let’s invite them to try this little thought experiment: Ask yourself, “What does it mean to be a good man?” Imagine waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror and saying to yourself, “You are a good man.” Imagine your funeral. You’ll want it said of you, “He was a good man.”
Greg Riley is a certified Gottman relationship coach, clinical hypnotherapist, Australia’s “The One” most gifted psychic and co-founder of 5dimensions. A five pillar philosophy that helps you to reawaken the fire in your life and relationships. Physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially and financially.
With a no BS approach, Greg is your bridge between spirit and science, transcending you into the wholeness that fuels the life + love you desire and a legacy you can say “Heck Yeh!” too.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Debbie Neat about her life as a member of Young Talent Time. YTT has celebrated its 50th anniversary. Debbie takes us down memory lane discussing how a 12 years old experienced tv fame.
Young Talent Time ran on Channel 10 (then known as Channel O), from 1971 til 1988. The show featured a weekly junior talent quest and the Young Talent Team who regularly performed popular classics along with the top hit songs of the day.
The program was the creation of host Johnny Young and launched the careers of a number of Australian performers including Tina Arena and Danni Minogue. The show took over from “Brian And The Juniors” a similar show hosted by Brian Naylor which ended in 1970 when Naylor was promoted to the role of chief newsreader for HSV7.
Over 18 years, the show had 40 team members, some as a direct result of the weekly talent quest. Some Young Talent Timers disappeared into oblivion (many through choice) after their stint on the show was up, but many went on to have successful adult careers in show business as either actors or performers.
Because it ran for such a long time and featured young performers, Young Talent Time made an indelible mark on the psyche of several generations of Australian children, leading them to believe that if they tried hard enough, they too could be a ‘star’ like the kids they saw on television.
One memorable aspect of the show was the regular closing number, where Johnny Young would sing the Beatles song All My Lovin’ (with which he had an Australian hit back in the 1960’s), accompanied by the entire cast, (who swayed to the music) in an almost nursery-rhyme style. John would pause in the song to say goodnight individually to all the team members. He would also spend a special greeting each week to his mother.
It's time for Young Talent Time! JOIN JOHNNY YOUNG AS HE GETS THE YOUNG TALENT TEAM BACK TOGETHER FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL 50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION! This is an updated version of the program that aired on the 1st May 2021 - it has been edited to include additional interviews, archival clips and special features.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to James Parr about how his life got turned upside down after getting cancer in his ankle, and then having to have his foot amputated. His story is more than just inspiring, it demonstrates how ones mind can create adversity if challenged.
James Parr was diagnosed in August 2019 with a rare form of bone cancer ‘osteosarcoma’ and after several months of chemotherapy his right leg was amputated below the knee.
How does a diagnosis and resulting amputation of his leg affect such a young man?
“Well, it didn’t impact on me too much as I kept getting a lot of infections and I just wanted it to be over,” James who underwent chemotherapy for almost six months after his surgery, said.
“I was back in the gym 10 days later, challenging myself to see what I was capable of.
“I had the artificial leg fitted a month later and didn’t particularly enjoy going into rehabilitation, I just wanted to get on with it.
“I experienced some phantom pain early on after the surgery but it rarely happens now, it’s a strange kind of pain.”
Today James is disciplined in his training regime, up at 5.30 am six days a week, putting in the hours with swim training, Cross-fit and strengthening, running and cycling to become more competitive in the three disciplines.
He also consumes a healthy high protein diet, which includes 1 kg of fruit and vegetables daily.
James works in education support at Cobram Primary School while studying to become a teacher.
Before this he held a similar role at Cobram Specialist School.
In what little spare time he has, he is also establishing demand from several advertisers as a photographic model.
While James admits he has a long road ahead as a triathlete, he is prepared to do the hard yards and has the determination to be the best version of himself at whatever he chooses to do.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Aaron Little about his experience working on the LGBTQI scene, working at the LGBTQI tabloid the STAR OBSERVER, and his insights regarding the shifting culture.
Star Observer has been setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979, with a long and proud history of independent journalism.
They have 200,000 loyal readers who embrace our publications, which include a popular news website and social media channels, as well as their monthly Star Observer publication.
From the early days of Mardi Gras, through the AIDS crisis, to the battle for marriage equality, Star Observer has been there providing in-depth and independent journalism about the issues facing the LGBTI community.
Our story started in 1979. It was a time when homosexual sex was a criminal act, with people being jailed simply for being gay. Sydney’s gay and lesbian community was reeling from vicious police attacks during the city’s first Mardi Gras protest march. A wave of political momentum was building demanding equality and justice for LGBTI Australians.
In this dangerous time for our community, the very first edition of The Star was printed and distributed across Sydney by our founder Michael Glynn.
Throughout its history, the Star Observer has taken the form of a weekly Sydney-centric newspaper, sister publication the Melbourne Star, a monthly national magazine, and has included publishing festival guides for LGBTI festivals around Australia as well as a Gay Scene Guide magazine highlighting what’s on in the queer scene in Australia’s major capitals.
Alongside this, we have maintained a major national Australian news website with a significant social media audience.
Until 2019, the Star Observer operated as a not-for-profit, community-owned organisation, before it was purchased by the newly formed Out Publications, part of the AltMedia publishing umbrella.
The Star Observer has gone back to its roots in the tabloid newspaper format for a special issue celebrating the publication’s 40th anniversary, with new issues to be published and distributed in Sydney and online on a monthly basis.
We have built an international reputation for fearless reporting, independent from the influence of any politician or corporation. We are the news journal of record for the LGBTI community, and have been since our founding.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Brett Kappler about his amazing personal transformation from a chronic drug user, to business owner. Brett opens up about addiction, recovery and self acceptance.
This is one of the most open and vulnerable interviews I have completed.
Addiction happens when someone compulsively in behaviour such as drug taking, gambling, drinking or gaming. Even when bad side effects kick in and people feel like they’re losing control, people who have addictions usually can't stop doing the thing they’re addicted to without help and support.
A drug is any kind of medicine or chemical that changes how your body or brain functions. There are legal drugs (including alcohol), which you can buy over the counter or get from a health professional, and illegal (or ‘street’) drugs. It’s possible to become addicted to both legal and illegal drugs.
Addiction is when there’s an uncontrollable urge to consume a drug because of a physical or mental dependence on the chemical in the drug. Usually, this is because the substance has a pleasurable or satisfying effect, or helps to stop bad feelings (in the short term).
What are the signs of drug addiction?
There are many types of drugs that people can become addicted to, so there are many different signs to be aware of. If you’re concerned that you might be developing an addiction, here are some general signs to look out for.
Social and behavioural signs
People with a drug addiction may:
-avoid people who don’t take drugs
-avoid places where it's not possible to take drugs
-feel distressed and lonely if they don't take the drug regularly
-rely on drugs to cope with emotional problems
-be dishonest with friends and family to hide their drug use
-have financial problems and debts
-sell or steal things to pay for drugs
-take dangerous risks, such as driving under the influence of drugs
-self-blame and have low self-esteem, especially after trying unsuccessfully to quit
-get into legal trouble.
Health signs-
Drugs and alcohol can cause a range of problems for physical and mental health, even after the acute effects of taking the drug have worn off. These include:
-depression
-anxiety
-having unusual ideas (e.g. paranoia, delusions)
-hallucinations
-attention problems
-memory loss
-weight loss
-sexual dysfunction (e.g. impotence).
What can I do about my drug use?
If you take drugs regularly and you have some of the signs listed here, it’s important that you talk to a doctor or a mental health professional (such as a drug counsellor or a psychologist) as soon as you can. Continuing to take drugs might seem like the only way to feel better, but it can lead to some pretty serious consequences, including ongoing mental and physical health issues, or even death.
Recognising the problem is the first step in getting help for addiction. No one can force another person to undergo treatment for a problem they don’t believe they have.
Talk to a doctor or a health professional
Try using ReachOut NextStep which will guide you through a few key questions and help you find the support that's right for you.
Don’t go cold turkey
It might seem easier to just stop taking drugs and to manage withdrawal on your own, but this is actually the most difficult way to go about it. It can also be physically dangerous, depending on the drug and level of addiction. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to a health professional, start with a trusted friend or family member.
Remember that if you do have a drug problem, the first step in overcoming it is to acknowledge it. You'll find plenty of support services that can help you here, and you can filter by type of service and location.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Jad Patrick about losing a good friend to suicide. Jad shares the emotions, grief process and the big changes in his life after the experience.
When you’re coping with the suicide of a loved one, it’s normal to feel a wide range of emotions, such as:
Shock
“This can’t be happening.” Right after loss, it can be hard to accept what’s happened. You may feel numb or want to deny the truth. Shock can have a purpose: it protects you from the initial pain of the loss, helping you get through things.
Anger
“How could they do this to me?” You may feel angry with your loved one, yourself, or medical professionals who couldn’t help. It’s normal to feel angry. Try to talk it though and understand your feelings.
Confusion
“Why is this happening?” You may not understand why something so tragic has happened, and that’s okay. It's hard, sometimes impossible, to comprehend why someone would choose to take their own life. It may be better to accept that you'll never fully understand, instead of forcing yourself to come up with an answer that makes sense to you. Focus your energy on accepting and coping with your feelings.
Guilt
“Why didn’t I notice something was wrong?” Try not to criticise yourself about what you did or didn’t do – it’s not your fault. Feeling guilty is completely normal, because we often blame ourselves when things go wrong, but it's not something to carry around with you. Talk to someone you trust about how you feel.
Despair
“I’m too sad to do anything” Loss from suicide is traumatic; allow yourself time to grieve. If you’re feeling especially down, your reaction is normal. Remember that there isn’t a typical response to loss; grieving is as individual as the people we’ve loved.
There are things you can do to make dealing with death easier:
Accept your feelings
People experience all kinds of emotions after a death, some you might not be able to predict, but they're all valid. It’s okay to feel the things that you do.
Take care of yourself and your family
Eating well, exercising, and sleeping will help you get through each day and move forward. Taking it one day at a time and focusing on small tasks will make things easier to deal with. What may feel like an impossible situation now, will get better.
Reach out and help others deal with this loss
Sharing stories can help everyone cope, and helping others will have the benefit of making you feel better as well. Speak to the people in your life who are also grieving, or whom you can trust. Sharing your thoughts and feelings will help you feel less alone, and remind you that there are people out there who support you.
Remember and celebrate the life of your loved one
Honour your relationship in a way that feels right to you – perhaps you can plant a garden in their memory, donate to their favourite charity, or frame photos of fun times. Try and remember the best moments you shared together.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Cam Rosin about his upbringing in America, and how his parents taught him to always be himself from birth.
His passion, insights, attitude and inner self acceptance is so infectious. His beliefs drive him to see the world from a loving place, where he seeks fulfilment every day.
Being your true authentic self means what you say in life aligns with what your actions. Your authentic self goes beyond what you do for a living, what possessions you own, or who you are to someone (mom, brother, girlfriend). It is who you are at your deepest core.
Practicing self-acceptance helps you to realise your qualities, both bad and good, and eases feelings of guilt and unhappiness. When we begin to accept who we are, we set ourselves up for improvement. While practicing self-acceptance, you will uncover hidden gifts and talents that you didn't know about yourself.
Although most people would define authenticity as acting in accordance with your idiosyncratic set of values and qualities, research has shown that people feel most authentic when they conform to a particular set of socially approved qualities, such as being extroverted, emotionally stable, conscientious, intellectual.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with KEVAN WALSH about Leather BDSM, Kink, the global Leather Community, and the rules around consensual sex.
The subculture is thought to have grown out of the post-World-War-II biker scene, which tended be dominated by uniforms, buzz cuts and military honor codes. It was an aesthetic that resonated with gay men who couldn’t identify with the more effete stereotypes of the time.
Those gay men formed motorcycle clubs like the Satyrs in Los Angeles and the Warlocks in San Francisco. They covered themselves in leather, conforming to a look of masculine independence that came to mainstream attention by way of Marlon Brando’s 1953 film The Wild One. Chicago’s Gold Coast was the first gay bar to cater to the leather scene in 1958, and it was there that IML began in the late Seventies.
At the time that the community formed, being discovered as queer was enough to ruin a person’s life. Police conducted routine raids of gay bars, with their victims identified by names in newspapers. Even in the relative safety of the mid-century gay enclaves, an interest in kinky sex led to stigma and ostracism.
“The word ‘leather’ was the code word for men in the Forties. Back then, it was a way of asking, ‘Are you into rough sex, bondage, S&M?
The leather culture denotes practices and styles of dress organized around sexual activities that involve leather garments, such as leather jackets, vests, boots, chaps, harnesses, or other items. Wearing leather garments is one way that participants in this culture self-consciously distinguish themselves from mainstream sexual cultures. Leather culture is most visible in gay communities and most often associated with gay men (enthusiasts are nicknamed “leathermen”), but it is also reflected in various ways in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and straight worlds. Many people associate leather culture with BDSM (Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/Submission, Sado/Masochism, also called “SM” or “S&M”) practices and its many subcultures. But for others, wearing black leather clothing is an erotic fashion that expresses heightened masculinity or the appropriation of sexual power; love of motorcycles, motorcycle clubs and independence; and/or engagement in sexual kink or leather fetishism.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with DINO HIRA. We discuss his experience with depression working in the WA mining industry, how suicidal thoughts transformed him to find inner peace, and his experience on MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT. Now Dino is known as Hong Kongs modern male yogi, utilising all his experience to write his book - A Miner Who Wins Inner Peace.
When Dino felt like he was on the other side of his battle with depression, he knew that it was time to share his story and insights with others.
He began by volunteering at a maximum-security prison, teaching meditation classes to inmates. He admitted that the night before he began teaching this class, he had trouble sleeping…
“It was my first-time teaching meditation, and the prison where I was going to teach was featured on a Netflix documentary about the world’s toughest prisons.”
At first, only a few participants joined his class and Dino was unsure his teachings were having his desired impact. But quickly, 2 participants turned into 4, and 4 turned into 6. Eventually, Dino’s class was one of the most popular in the program and full of inmates eager to transform their mindset in prison through meditation.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with Shaun Williams, the creator of the GAY FATHERS Facebook support group
We discuss his coming out to his ex wife, how he told his children, meeting then man of his dreams, and feeling rejected within the gay community. His story is embowering, brave and filled with self acceptance.
As awkward and shameful as it might feel, each of us is unique in who or what we find desirable, and while sexual desire is often mysterious or even frightening, when you boil it down it’s related to longings for love, affection, and safety.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with the owner of MYNDFIT, Nick Sutherland.
In 2018, Nick decided to start working in a more proactive manner so changed his business model and rebranded as ‘MyndFit’.
The purpose of MyndFit was to shift away from traditional therapy and move into a more educational system, teaching clients the tools, resources strategies required to create and maintain happiness and health.
With this new approach, Nick created a new purpose, and helping clients learn to take responsibility for their happiness because the focus. The reason for this was that Nick found what he considered to be a lot of ‘unnecessary suffering’ happening so it made sense to him to start there.
Nick no longer wanted to simply “talk” about peoples problems and help them to cope with whatever life was putting before them…he now wanted to create a shift in the way they approached life. It was going to take much more effort, but it was important to him to start working more with the client than for them as he felt this was disempowering them.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with Michael Lauria. Michael is a qualified counsellor, has studied Psychology, Neuroscience, NLP and Psychotherapy and is a lifetime student of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and borrows inspiration from Jordan Peterson’s teachings and lectures which he incorporates into his formulations, views, and opinions on what it means to be a good quality, Purposeful Man living a life of purpose, service and contribution.
Michael is a visionary leader inspiring Men to connect powerfully with their core values and align deeply with a well-defined purpose.
Michael teaches men to be of service to others and contribute positively to humanity leaving a legacy that can be felt for generations to come.
He does this by engaging the imaginations of Men, encouraging them to explore their intrinsic potential, believing it is irresponsible for a Man to traverse life without stepping into the top level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs “Self Actualisation” in which a Man realises his potential for greatness; his ability to be more than he currently is and then striving to achieve this version of himself.

In this SPECIAL episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with Simone Nickels about losing her husband suddenly, the grief that followed, and how she use this life changing experience to open up the dialogue around grief.
Talking about death is hard. The loss of a loved one can be one of the most overwhelmingly painful experiences of life.
A large part of this pain, quite naturally, is caused by the absence of one who was cherished. However, part of the pain of grief consists of the loneliness and fear that also often accompany death.
Frequently, those who grieve find that the people around them do not want to talk about, or that people’s empathy and support begin to fade after a few months.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with David Stuart about the ChemSex phenomenon hitting the gay community globally.
ChemSex is the name given to the sexualised use of drugs by gay men, a rising phenomenon.
Drugs and sex have held hands for a long time. What makes ChemSex so different today? “I imagine they’ve held hands since the first grape was fermented. But we have an HIV epidemic now, and in the UK as well as in Australia, it’s particularly affecting gay men. In the nineties, when preferred drugs were ecstasy and powdered cocaine, we didn’t see large numbers of gay men presenting to Emergency departments. In the last ten or so years we’ve seen some quite significant cultural changes; geo-sexual networking apps, a shift in our attitudes to HIV as it’s become more manageable and some newer, much more harmful drugs like ice (methamphetamine) and GHB/GBL which provide a particularly sexual-disinhibiting high. This syndemic of behaviours and our adoption of apps to facilitate faster, more frequent sexual encounters, have come to define ChemSex as more pervasive than drug use trends of the past.”
That’s clearly a distressing thought for anyone in the gay community. Do you think that community is facing another disaster unless an uncomfortable truth is faced? “There are indeed some uncomfortable truths that ChemSex raises for gay communities. Our relationship to sex, sexual identity and community may need to be looked at. The ‘scenes’ created by my own generation of gay men who fought through an AIDS epidemic and fought so defiantly and proudly for equal rights, may not be the most conducive to the wellbeing of a younger generation of gay men, dealing with different risks, stigmas and realities. A generation who seek a different definition of sexual liberation, identity or community – and this might be an upsetting truth. The risk of significant harm is worrying and for too many individuals whose lives have been destroyed by ice or GHB, well it is a disaster for them. HIV rates continue to rise amongst gay men, despite the availability of excellent
sexual health services, campaigns and initiatives.”

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with Matty Mitchell about his podcast DRAWN TO YOUR STORY.
What’s this podcast about?
"Well, I Looove to talk and I Looooooove to draw. So I thought why not combine them both into a podcast where I reimagine the interviews into illustrations. It will be fun to pull out one snippet or one overarching theme to create a personalized illustration after the interview is completed. It really gets my juices flowing to hear how everyone has taken on this crazy world in their own unique way. I want to hear all of the crazy shenanigans, big and small decisions that were made, and how people have overcome obstacles in their lives. I want us to have a good yarn, some laughs, and hopefully learn something. Perhaps we might even add a tool to our own life arsenal."
Here is the extra part. he is going to sell limited prints of each week’s illustration. With 40% of the proceeds going to the interviewee and they can choose to keep the money or donate to a charity of their choice.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Mike Pringle. He discusses youth detention, , how they cope inside, and how we need to start seeing them for a different perspective.
Juvenile detention centers, like adult correctional facilities, vary in security levels and conditions. In a juvenile detention centre, there is a greater emphasis on academic instruction and programs that teach young offenders new thought and behaviour strategies to help them avoid committing future offences.
Most youth detained in juvenile detention centers have been exposed to trauma in the form of community and family violence. These youth are at higher risk for mental and substance use disorders. ... In adult facilities, youth under 18 are two times more likely to commit suicide than adult inmates.
These children lose more than their freedom when they enter adult prisons; they lose out on the educational and psychological benefits offered by juvenile-detention facilities. Worse, they are much more likely to suffer sexual abuse and violence at the hands of other inmates and prison staff.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to coach extraordinaire Tanja Lee, as she shares with us the power of manifesting. Manifestation is essentially the act of feeling something is yours and making it real. When you manifest something, you're making it known to the universe that this thing — whether it's a dream job or a new car — will be yours.
The best time to manifest is anytime. Some people like to wake up their day and start first thing in the morning. For example, “I'm grateful I'm alive, I'm grateful I started this day, I'm grateful that this day is going to be great.” That's one of the best ways to do it.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Rueben Lowe about Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Mindfulness, and his passion to help the community to seek a rich and meaningful life.
The goal of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is to increase psychological flexibility, or the ability to enter the present moment more fully and either change or persist in behaviour when doing so serves valued ends.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. It may seem confusing at first, but ACT paired with mindfulness-based therapy offers clinically effective treatment.
Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.
Mindfulness is about paying attention to daily life and the things we typically rush through. It's about turning down the volume in your mind by coming back to the body. Don't worry, you don't have to spend an hour's pay on a class or contort your body into difficult positions.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with SUZANNE WRIGHT about how she made the decision to give herself permission to listen to her inner voice, rather than to old messages telling her incorrect information. This revelation. allowed her to find something she has been seeking for a LONG time - Inner Peace.
Humans are creatures of habit. We like our routines, our ways of doing and being in the world.
Then something comes along and all that gets disrupted, blown up, maybe even obliterated. We start to fumble around in the dark looking for the light switch that will turn everything back on.
Over the last few months Suzanne found a new normal, a new routine that she settled into. She dealt with not feeling settled at all. As well as being somewhere in the middle all depending on the minute, day, or week.
Regardless of where she was in the moment, she gave herself permission to be in the present moment.This interview explores this process.
We also look at her charity - SHINE.
Shine is an innovative not-for-profit charity, connecting young people in Cambodia and Australia to create a better world. We run a community project in Otres, Cambodia to alleviate poverty and assist children and families break the poverty cycle by providing a range of education, health and wellbeing services. The project is registered in Australia and runs completely on donations.
In Melbourne Australia, we educate, empower and inspire teenagers to create social change through our social impact youth program and the volunteer experiences we offer. Young people are powerful: Shine gives them the chance to find their light and use it.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak with SHAUN RESNIK about his desire to change the community around him , and take it to a thriving culture. We explore his amazing career in mental health.
Shauns Story:
I have been practicing as a natural health care provider for 17 years in my busy private practice. I absolutely love the transformational work that I do with people just like you, people wanting to reach optimal wellness and vitality. Like most naturopaths, I get to see people for conditions ranging from the common cold, digestive complaints, to asthma and vertigo. Having said that, I have a special interest in transforming the lives of people suffering from stress, anxiety, phobias and addictions. Natural fertility and weight loss are passions of mine too! What sets me apart from other practitioners in my field, is the range of studies I have undertaken over the years so that I’m able to offer you a truly holistic treatment. That’s great news for you because it means that together we can get your life back on track, on all levels. We humans are social creatures. We generally love building connections with each other and I am confident that you, like so many of my other clients, will find it easy to connect with me. I have a quirky sense of humour and I’m naturally engaging and nurturing. So, unlike some stuffy healthcare professionals who seem to have lost their ability to relate to the public , there are no awkward silences in my office:-) Isn’t it good to know that we can get great results and still have a fun time reaching your health goals?

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to BEN MURDOCK about his role as a father, and how he helps other men to heal.
BENS STORY:
I wasn’t always passionate about men’s work. Until I experienced the power and love of being connected to good men and how this impacted my life. What it truly meant to have brothers and not just mates.
3 years ago, I stood on the scales and it read 95kgs. My body was a reflection of every area of my life. My marriage, my career, my mind and my overall health.
A fellow brother took a stand for me and pulled me out of a deep hole.
I knew there was only one way out - I had to take a stand for my life. I had to grow and heal the boy so the man could appear.
I took MASSIVE action in every area of my life. I resurrected my marriage, lost 25kgs, started a new business and went on an incredible journey of healing, learning and growing my mind.
I got really clear on who I truly am. You know, with out all the bull shit. I got clear on how I wanted to show up as a father, a husband and a man.
I stepped into my masculine core and it was the most liberating feeling in the world.
I ain’t gonna lie thou, it was fucking tough at times. There was some heavy days. Some days took every ounce of willpower to keep fighting for what I believed in.
I became obsessed with how the human mind works and understanding human behaviour. So I embarked on a career in mindset coaching. Graduating as a master practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming.
I found my purpose - to help men transform their lives. To breakthrough their bullshit, create an unshakeable mindset and step into their true masculine core.
I now dedicate my life to serving you. Creating a generation of kings to your queens, hero’s to their children, sons to proud parents and leaders amongst men.
If you’re a man and you can resonate with this story, if you feel you’ve lost your sense of being, of what it is to be a man, your not connected to your kids, wife, family or life in general - THEN IT’S TIME TO STEP UP BROTHER !!!

In this special episode of the SECRET MENS BUSINESS PODCAST we speak to CHRISTIAN VAN DAY about stopping drinking during COVID and beyond.
Managing your alcohol intake during the coronavirus pandemic
If the uncertainty and stress of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused your relationship with alcohol to feel out of balance, be assured there is help available and you’re not alone.
It’s natural in times of stress and uncertainty to look for coping methods that can help restore a sense of calm.
A glass of wine after a tough day might feel like a reward.
But the rebound effects after drinking can amplify feelings of anxiety and depression.
As the restrictions brought about by COVID-19 bring major disruption to our lives – and force us to spend more time at home – it’s easy to slip into a habit of drinking more than we planned.
If you’re drinking more than you were previously comfortable with during the COVID-19 pandemic and you’d like to cut back, it’s important to know that help is available.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to PAUL SMITH about FIFO support. Helping miners come to terms with Flying in and Flying out - for home to the mines.
We get to chat to Paul about his story:
It was 2018 when found himself in a small, hot, smelly and dusty cabin in Saudi Arabia.
What had started out as an opportunity to create wealth and stability for his family was quickly turning into one of the biggest mental battles of his life.
He was falling apart. Afraid to speak up and embarrassed at his lack of mental toughness – how on earth did he get here and how could he possibly get out of the massive hole he had created.
The money was a huge motivator but as he stood alone in that small cabin the tears flowing freely down his face the guilt and shame of failing to Tough It Out brought illogical thoughts with it and…
In that moment he recognised just how far off track he had gotten and that this, this was the moment he had to choose life over everything else.
His a big man but in that space gees he felt small.
There’s a reason why the suicide & divorce rates are so high amongst the FIFO community, they don’t tell you about the isolation. No-one can explain the sense of loss from being away from your family for extended periods of time.
Not unless you’ve lived it yourself.
The bad habits he had created had taken him to a place where he felt he only had 2 choices....
And that scared the CRAP out of him.
He literally clawed his way out of the darkness – one moment at a time.
Today his story is the catalyst for "The 6 Success Steps to Ensuring the Sacrifice" is worth it.
A 6-step success Blueprint for Families to bring cohesion and unity back.
These are the very steps that changed his life, the very steps that can transform yours as well.
Make the Sacrifice a Success.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to Dr Natalie Flatt & Sasha Milinkovic, the owner of Connect Psych, Australia’s first health tech eco-system; more than just delivering mental health services.
Dr Natalie Flatt Ph.D is a psychologist and co-founder of Connect Psych. Natalie is from a management background in school-based private psychology and, over those 11 years with the company, she saw a significant reduction in the mental health status of teachers and principals.
Self-care was getting pushed further and further back and mental health challenges were becoming evident. As a consequence, Natalie moved into supporting individuals, leaders and teams from all industries to highlight the importance of self-care, stress management and communication.
Sasha Milinkovic is the second co-founder of Connect Psych. Sasha is passionate about supporting wellness programs within businesses. Having worked within HR and Marketing teams before going into private practice, Sasha saw a significant deficit when it came to educating and encouraging staff self-care.

In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we interview MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT (MAFS) reality star, Mikey Pembroke, who is the Always Optimistic Man.
Cheeky and charming, Mikey is a private school boy from Sydney's leafy north shore.
Although Mikey has always enjoyed the spoils of an affluent upbringing, he is genuine and open-minded, with a solid work ethic. He recently stepped up to help run the family business: a nursing home that his grandfather founded.
With good looks and a quick wit, Mikey carries a self-assured facade, but when it comes to dating, he lacks confidence and finds interactions with the opposite sex awkward.
Never judge a book by its cover.
He opens up to SMB about mental health, letting go of expectations, and his deep love of dancing.

In this 7min episode of the Secret MENS Business (Bits & Pieces) podcast I talk about the way I feel about speaking my mind in public v’s the desire to simply Shut Up. How there seems to be unfiltered discussions being had on social media, without really knowing the consequences.
In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to SEAN MARSH. Sean talks to us about sustainable marketing ,and how really connecting with clients needs has seen him take a different approach to his job.
He was only 10 years old when he realised the critical importance of protecting our environment.
Walking the foreshore with his family, he noticed holes had been drilled into trees lining the beachfront.
The following week he was on the front cover of his local paper, heralded as uncovering a plot to poison 120 year old eucalypts, blocking the beach views of new apartments.
This was a defining moment for him; it’s shaped who he is today..
Fast forward two and a half decades later and he is still standing up for what matters.
His made a career that disproves the myth you can't make a living as a do-gooder.
