What if the behavior is only a symptom of something much deeper happening beneath the surface? On this powerful episode of The Man Space Podcast, Russ sits down with Nelson Whiting, a certified clinical hypnotherapist, to have an honest conversation about porn addiction, compulsive behaviors, the subconscious mind, and why willpower alone often fails. Nelson explains his controversial idea that “your problem isn’t pornography,” arguing that lasting change requires addressing the emotions, beliefs, and identity underneath the behavior. Russ and Nelson also explore how hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis can help shift mental states, overcome survival mode, improve performance, and change deeply rooted patterns. They discuss purpose, shame, self-rejection, faith, relationships, and the importance of learning to think differently in order to create meaningful change. Key Takeaways: <ul><li>Why porn addiction may be a symptom rather than the root problem</li><li>Why willpower can struggle against subconscious programming</li><li>How identity and underlying beliefs influence unwanted behaviors</li><li>How changing your mental state can improve performance and decision-making</li><li>Why getting out of survival mode can open the door to new solutions</li></ul> If this conversation hits home, like, subscribe, and share The Man Space Podcast with someone who could benefit from it.

Dr. Kleinberg shares his perspective on why treating symptoms alone may miss underlying health issues, and why he believes blood flow, inflammation, mental health, and lifestyle habits all play a role in sexual wellness.

Russ and Lex kick things off with a wild AC repair horror story (miswired capacitors, $60K financing traps, and home warranty nightmares) before diving deep into the real topic: workplace burnout, corporate loyalty, and why so many employees feel stuck. Pulling from reports by AFLAC and Glassdoor, the guys unpack why burnout is at a seven-year high, why workers are too mentally drained to even job hunt, and why companies prioritize profits over people.

Whether retirement is planned or forced, stepping into life after work can bring uncertainty, financial concerns, and a deeper question: Who am I without my job title? In this episode of the Man Space Podcast, Russ sits down with coach, speaker, author, and former financial planner Michael F. Kay to explore how men can navigate career transition, retirement, reinvention, and the search for purpose in their next chapter. Michael shares insights from his own transition out of a decades-long career and explains why life after work should be viewed not as an ending, but as an opportunity to explore what comes next. The conversation covers financial preparedness, managing risk, overcoming fear of judgment, redefining success, building relationships and community, and creating an identity beyond your professional title. Michael also explains his “Chapter X” philosophy and why there is no one-size-fits-all blueprint for life after career. Key takeaways: How to turn forced retirement or career disruption into a new opportunity Why your job title is not your identity Practical ways to prepare financially for unexpected career changes How curiosity, experimentation, and failure can help you reinvent yourself Why purpose, relationships, gratitude, and contribution matter in your next chapter Listen now, share the episode with someone navigating a major life transition, and start thinking about what your own Chapter X could look like.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">themanspacepodcast.podbean.com/95b8a60a-eea9-382f-bc09-c5f52c565496</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74463378/man_space_michael_kay7bm1f.mp3" length="75314694" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/6ced42a0-795a-4ae2-bde7-3f2604f2af47/6ced42a0-795a-4ae2-bde7-3f2604f2af47.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/6ced42a0-795a-4ae2-bde7-3f2604f2af47/6ced42a0-795a-4ae2-bde7-3f2604f2af47.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/6ced42a0-795a-4ae2-bde7-3f2604f2af47/6ced42a0-795a-4ae2-bde7-3f2604f2af47.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Gerald Roberts</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What happens when the career that defined you suddenly ends?

In this episode of The Man Space Podcast, Russ and Les sit down with high-performance coach Willie Blake, who was diagnosed with dyslexia in the first grade and spent years hiding, faking, and outrunning it—until he decided to lead with it instead. Willie opens up about growing up neurodivergent, battling comparison and self-doubt, and the exact moment he stopped seeing dyslexia as a limitation and started seeing it as a superpower. The conversation dives deep into mindset, personal growth, and practical frameworks for building unstoppable momentum—including his signature 2% Rule and GPS Goal Method for turning big, overwhelming goals into daily, actionable steps. Whether you're dealing with a learning difference, feeling stuck in comparison mode, or just need a push to get out of "park" and into motion, this episode delivers real talk, tough love, and hard-won wisdom on confidence, consistency, and self-belief. Key Takeaways: <ul><li>Reframe your "weakness" — dyslexia (and other challenges) can come with hidden strengths like creativity, pattern recognition, and empathy</li><li>The 2% Rule: consistent small daily actions beat overwhelming, all-or-nothing goals</li><li>The GPS Goal Method: Get clear, Plan the route (reverse-engineer from the end goal), Start moving</li><li>You're not behind — you're just still in park; motion, not motivation, is what gets you unstuck</li><li>Stop comparing your worst chapters to everyone else's highlight reel</li></ul> Call-to-Action: Ready to stop feeling stuck and start moving toward your goals?

On this episode of The Man Space Podcast, hosts Russ and Less sit down with Ben Fudge — former Army Ranger, four-time combat veteran, and head coach at Trevor Kashey Nutrition — for a raw conversation about the gap between the life men build and the health they neglect while building it. Ben opens up about trading a finance career for the Ranger Regiment, the mental toll of coming home from deployment, and how he turned military discipline into a coaching philosophy centered on "cognitive nutrition" — training the mind first so the body follows. The conversation dives deep into today's most talked-about weight loss trend, GLP-1 medications, covering how they work, the risks of misuse, and why they should be treated as a tool, not a shortcut. Ben also breaks down why crash diets fail, why "12 weeks to a new you" is the wrong mindset, and how sustainable men's health comes down to skill-building, not willpower. This episode is packed with real talk on veteran mental health, nutrition coaching, and building a life on purpose — with purpose. Key Takeaways: <ul><li>GLP-1 medications can be a helpful tool, but only alongside proper protein intake and resistance training — not as a replacement for nutrition fundamentals</li><li>"Cognitive nutrition" means treating food decisions as a behavioral and emotional skill, not just a calorie count</li><li>Crash diets fail because they train for a 12-week sprint instead of building lifelong habits</li><li>Veterans often struggle most not in combat, but in reintegrating — community and open conversation matter</li><li>Motivation fades; discipline and purpose are what actually change lives</li></ul> Visit https://trevorkasheynutrition.com/ to start your journey — and don't forget to grab Russ &amp; Less: Freshman Year, available now on Amazon]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">themanspacepodcast.podbean.com/bb4d68a4-741d-33f5-8aa0-a92db7981089</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74463349/man_space_334_ben_fudge99yf2.mp3" length="108710861" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/bfa88b25-1915-4741-a0dc-5adebf0c9b90/bfa88b25-1915-4741-a0dc-5adebf0c9b90.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/bfa88b25-1915-4741-a0dc-5adebf0c9b90/bfa88b25-1915-4741-a0dc-5adebf0c9b90.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/bfa88b25-1915-4741-a0dc-5adebf0c9b90/bfa88b25-1915-4741-a0dc-5adebf0c9b90.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Gerald Roberts</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What if the biggest battle you fight isn't overseas, but the one against your own comfort zone?

Russ and Less kick off the new season by honoring the journey — sharing the divine signs and unexpected confirmations that kept the book moving forward, reflecting on seven years of brotherhood that built this show, and getting into a hilariously honest debate about men and man purses (sling bags, messenger bags, fanny packs — nothing is off limits). They close things out with a powerful message about seasons of life: growth, struggle, waiting, and harvest — and why where you are right now is exactly where you need to be. Key Takeaways: 📖 Russ and Less: Freshman Year is coming — a YA novel built from real friendship and real stories 🙏 Divine confirmation shows up in unexpected ways — learn to recognize the signs 🤝 Real brotherhood means having hard conversations and giving people their flowers 💬 Men need spaces to talk to each other, not just at each other 🌱 Every season of life has a purpose — even the hard ones are growing you]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">themanspacepodcast.podbean.com/1c223a4a-cbc9-32ce-88c4-534c4ed8b362</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jul 2026 12:12:09 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72888933/manspace_ep_231_season_7_premiereac3cc.mp3" length="82335400" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/5e5w2z8r9mnnu54w/ManSPace_ep_231_season_7_premiereac3cc-4dzjry-Optimized.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><itunes:author>Gerald Roberts</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Season 7 is HERE — and we're coming in with a major announcement.

In this powerful episode of the Man Space Podcast, Russ and Big Less sit down with family psychologist David Marcus to unpack the real impact of emotional communication, parenting styles, and family stress on children. With over 40 years of experience working with families, David breaks down why many parents unknowingly repeat toxic communication patterns, how emotional language shapes child development, and why being a “soothing presence” matters more than simply disciplining behavior. The conversation dives into parenting under pressure, co-parenting challenges, parent alienation, emotional intelligence, and practical ways fathers can build stronger connections with their children. Whether you’re raising toddlers, navigating the teenage years, or managing a blended family, this episode delivers actionable parenting advice and eye-opening insights that can improve family relationships and communication at home. Key Takeaways <ul><li>Why children act out emotionally and what they actually need from parents</li><li>How to create emotional safety and trust with your kids</li><li>The difference between punishment and true discipline</li><li>How stress affects parenting and family communication</li><li>The long-term impact of parent alienation and toxic co-parenting</li></ul>  ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">themanspacepodcast.podbean.com/0adccc16-ccc7-3111-a1a9-d9474fc4d5ce</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 May 2026 09:32:18 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72606028/david_marcusedited6iv74.mp3" length="117561299" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8e3df066-1dd8-4460-9053-2dce00bfb1c3/8e3df066-1dd8-4460-9053-2dce00bfb1c3.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8e3df066-1dd8-4460-9053-2dce00bfb1c3/8e3df066-1dd8-4460-9053-2dce00bfb1c3.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8e3df066-1dd8-4460-9053-2dce00bfb1c3/8e3df066-1dd8-4460-9053-2dce00bfb1c3.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Gerald Roberts</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What happens when kids stop feeling safe enough to talk to their parents?

In this powerful conversation, Russ sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Gregory T. Obert to unpack how stress shapes your thoughts, behaviors, and daily life, often without you even realizing it. Drawing from years of trauma care and mental performance work, Dr. Obert breaks down the science of stress in a way that’s practical, relatable, and immediately useful. From understanding why your brain “shuts off” under pressure to learning how mindfulness can interrupt reactive patterns, this episode delivers real tools you can start using today. They also tackle the truth about medication vs. therapy, burnout, and why asking for help is actually a sign of strength, not weakness. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck on autopilot, or mentally drained, this episode will help you take back control.If this episode hit home, share it with someone who needs it and subscribe for more real conversations on mental health, growth, and resilience.

Framed as part of the “Russ and Company” series, the episode explores a simple but powerful question, why is it so hard to make new friends as adults. Gabor shares the inspiration behind the Friending app, rooted in his own experiences moving across countries and struggling with isolation. Together, Russ and Gabor unpack how modern technology, while designed to connect us, often leaves people feeling more disconnected than ever. The conversation dives into how Friending aims to flip that dynamic by prioritizing real-world interaction over endless messaging. Unlike traditional social or dating apps, Friending requires identity verification and encourages users to meet face to face through shared activities like coffee, fitness, or local events. Features like proximity-based matching, real-time activity invites, and safety tools are designed to foster genuine human connection while maintaining user security. Gabor also opens up about the broader societal impact of loneliness, from mental and physical health challenges to its economic toll, and explains why solving this problem is both a personal mission and a global necessity. Russ brings his signature perspective throughout, grounding the discussion in everyday scenarios and asking the practical questions listeners are thinking. The episode wraps with a forward-looking conversation about the future of the app, including growth plans, monetization, and the importance of building a strong user community to make meaningful connections possible. Overall, this episode blends insight, innovation, and real talk, offering listeners a fresh perspective on friendship in the digital age and a hopeful look at how technology can be used to bring people back together in the real world.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">themanspacepodcast.podbean.com/6c99369d-d277-3b28-b7de-3ca3de1aa477</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 11:21:42 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/71140285/manspacegaborkadas.mp3" length="52497392" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/06113f2b-d379-4ab3-87eb-5da8faced28c/06113f2b-d379-4ab3-87eb-5da8faced28c.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/06113f2b-d379-4ab3-87eb-5da8faced28c/06113f2b-d379-4ab3-87eb-5da8faced28c.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/06113f2b-d379-4ab3-87eb-5da8faced28c/06113f2b-d379-4ab3-87eb-5da8faced28c.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Gerald Roberts</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode of the Man Space Podcast, host Russ sits down with Gabor Kadas, founder and CEO of Friending Inc., for a candid and thought-provoking conversation about one of today’s most overlooked issues, loneliness in a hyper-connected world....</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this episode of the Man Space Podcast, host Russ sits down with Gabor Kadas, founder and CEO of Friending Inc., for a candid and thought-provoking conversation about one of today’s most overlooked issues, loneliness in a hyper-connected world.
