» Produced by Hack You Media: pioneering a new category of content at the intersection of health performance, entrepreneurship & cognitive optimisation. Instagram: Website: A generation of men are checking out, living at home, avoiding dating, gaming and scrolling instead of building lives. Connor Beaton breaks down the cultural narrative that's convinced boys they're faulty from birth, how fatherlessness and job market discrimination created the perfect storm, and why suppressing emotions doesn't make you stronger, it makes you fragile. Mike opens up about losing his mum at 11 and how that shaped every relationship since, never processing the grief properly, just getting on with it. Connor explains how unprocessed pain doesn't stay quiet, it sabotages your relationships, your business, your health until you deal with it. The conversation covers why male guides matter more than therapists for men with father wounds, how emotional consistency beats sexual polarity in relationships, and why confronting hardship is how you actually mature instead of staying stunted.
