  • The Psychology of Raising Emotionally Healthy Boys with Dr. Daniel Singley

    The Psychology of Raising Emotionally Healthy Boys with Dr. Daniel Singley
    2025/12/24
    In this thoughtful and often funny conversation, Dr. Daniel Singley—founder of The Center for Men’s Excellence and creator of MenExcel—joins Shaun to unpack what it really means to raise emotionally healthy boys in a rapidly changing world. Together, they explore how traditional models of masculinity can evolve without abandoning strength, why fatherhood is the “tip of the spear” for redefining what it means to be a man, and how dads can model emotional resilience and connection in everyday life.Dr. Singley shares evidence-based insights on the transition from “dude to dad,” the power of emotional flexibility, and the importance of community for fathers. This episode is a practical and deeply human look at how we can raise sons—and become men—of both heart and strength.Key Takeaways / Topics Covered1. Masculinity isn’t under attack—it’s under construction. Healthy masculinity requires flexibility, not rigidity; the ability to be strong in some contexts and empathetic in others.2. Fatherhood is the frontline of modern manhood. Early involvement during pregnancy and infancy predicts stronger emotional connection, better outcomes for children, and greater well-being for fathers.3. Emotional literacy is courage, not weakness. When fathers model emotional awareness—naming their feelings, owning their mistakes—they teach their sons that vulnerability is strength.4. Community is critical for men’s mental health. Isolation is as damaging as smoking a pack a day; fathers need intentional friendships and spaces to be honest with other dads.5. Kindness is strength. Dr. Singley’s parting message: “Have the strength to be kind”—because cruelty often stems from fear, and choosing compassion is an act of real courage.Timestamps / Chapter Markers00:00 Introduction: Cultivating Strength and Sensitivity in Raising Boys01:18 Dr. Singley's Journey: Why Study the Psychology of Men and Fatherhood?03:08 The Consequence of Ignoring Cisgender Masculinity in Academia05:33 The Rising Tide: Empowering Men and Boys Doesn't Harm Other Genders06:55 Is Masculinity a Problem?

  • Real Talk on Fatherhood, Marriage, and Mayhem with Sean Harvey

    Real Talk on Fatherhood, Marriage, and Mayhem with Sean Harvey
    2025/12/17

    In Part Two, Sean reflects on losing his stepfather and guiding his sons through grief, legacy, and growth. He shares stories of finding laughter in pain, of writing a eulogy that helped him truly understand the man who raised him, and of passing those lessons forward. Together, Shaun and Sean unpack how fathers can model empathy, resilience, and strength through vulnerability—and why raising sons of character starts with being honest about our own humanity.

    Key Takeaways / Topics Covered

    1. Grief is a teacher — How fathers can lead their families through loss with honesty and calm strength.
    2. Model before you teach — Kids copy what they see; your actions are the real lesson.
    3. Empathy is legacy — Raising sons who choose kindness and courage in a noisy world.
    4. Humor heals — Laughter and humility are part of resilience.
    5. Love is conditional in effort, not worth — Sean reminds that love is deep, but accountability still matters.
    “You just have to try—that’s fatherhood. Trying, failing, and trying again.” —
    Sean Harvey


    “Whatever they see you do—that’s who they’ll become.” —
    Shaun Dawson


    “Life’s too short to ruin someone else’s day. It feels better to make it better.” —
    Sean Harvey


    “I don’t do unconditional love in behavior. You’ve still got to do right by people.” —
    Sean Harvey
