Welcome to the first episode with hosts Marcus and John. Today, they finally bring their long-discussed idea to life, aiming to create a safe space for men to share their feelings and experiences, break down the barriers of toxic masculinity, and encourage open dialogue. In this episode, they reflect on their own backgrounds, the values instilled in them from a young age, and how these values have shaped their perspectives on money, success, and happiness. They discuss the pressures of modern life, including the influence of social media and the cost of living crisis, and how these factors can lead to anxiety and mental health struggles.

Additionally, they talk about generational differences in attitudes toward money and success and emphasize the value of relationships and community, recalling their own childhood experiences of growing up in working-class environments where support and bartering were common. The conversation highlights the need for mindfulness and the importance of being present in our lives, especially as we navigate the complexities of modern society.
