I have two guests I'm very excited to introduce you to. First, I'm gonna introduce you to my dear friend Doug. Doug isn't just a longtime friend. He's someone I've chosen his family, and he's the godfather to my children.[00:05:00] One of the things I admire most about him is his lifelong commitment to being a good man and showing up for others with generosity and kindness. Over the years, he and I have shared many deep and meaningful conversations about many things, but including sexuality, gender roles, and what it means to grow and evolve as a person.I'm truly honored to bring him into this space today. Doug, welcome to the show. Doug: Thanks for having me, Kate. Kate: So excited to have you. Um, can you do me a favor and just so our audience has an idea of your perspective, can you just tell us a little bit about yourself and where you are and the stages of life?Doug: Yeah, so I'm a, uh, three time dad raising, uh, two girls and a boy. Um, on my personal life. I am a four-time iron man. I love physical fitness, challenging myself to things that I, I think would be impossible without hard work. I love creating, building, um, things with, [00:06:00] whether it be woodworking or painting murals.Um, professionally, I'm a IT director where I helped build the cloud. Um, so I'm plugged into a lot of, uh, uh, the technology revolution that we're having today. And, um, I'm very interested in how we tackle this topic, especially given that, um, I'm raising two girls and a boy and trying to figure out how we navigate the world of, of parenting, um, especially with the new challenges that we have coming away.Kate: I love, love the fact that you bring up. There are some new challenges here. I think lately with everything going on in the world, there's been lots of conversations about, uh, masculinity and toxic masculinity and how we can break some of those old habits. So I'm glad you're here to help us. Let me also welcome another friend, uh, Jake Ach.Jake and I first met a few years ago when he came to my office to get some myofascial release. At that time, he shared with me that he was going through a [00:07:00] divorce and I just remember being struck by the poise and composure with which he spoke about such a difficult season. I was really impressed 'cause I know I didn't handle it that well when I had to go through my divorce.But from there, a friendship quickly grew, and we have been dreaming about collaborating ever since then. So more recently, Jake launched his own business, modern Manhood, with the mission of helping men discover deeper meaning and fulfillment in their lives. I'm so excited to have you here today, Jake, welcome to the show.Jake: Yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah, this is, uh, this is super. It's a long time coming, so, like you said, it's been a long Kate: time. We've been talking about doing something together for a while. Jake: Yeah, absolutely.Kate: Tell us a little bit about yourself, Jake. Jake: Absolutely. Yeah. So I am a father of three now living life with, uh, my partner Elizabeth.And we are just going through [00:08:00] it. We're, we're experiencing life and all the chaos and joy that being parents, uh, brings. I'm, you know, building a business at the same time. So things are busy, but at the same time, we're feeling full, you know, fulfilled and excited for what life has to offer. Kate: That's right.And Jake, when you're not working and raising kids, what other things do you use to fill your time? Jake: So I'm also a level two CrossFit trainer. So I do some coaching at a local gym and have a ton of fun just, uh, doing CrossFit workouts with a friend, uh, most of the days of the week. And yeah, I love to grill.I love to play guitar, stuff like that. Kate: Huh. Excellent. So, we'll, let's dive in. And I think one of the things that, uh, kind of struck me as you guys were introducing yourselves is that I know both of you are very dedicated to your, the physical challenges that you, uh, engage in. Um, [00:09:00] do you think that something that contributes to your own sense of masculinity?Doug: Yeah, so I, I, I think I came from, I have a very good mentor in my father. Um, he was, uh, uh, volunteering for children to have muscular dystrophy my whole life. I don't remember a time where he wasn't volunteering. And when I got to be old enough, I got to volunteer at the same summer camp and, uh, I heard from.Uh, uh, kids at the time, but they were, they were older than me in some cases. Uh, I, I was 15 years old and, and at the time, kids can come in summer camp up to 21 years old. And, uh, these, uh, uh, kids in, in some cases adults had, uh, debilitating physical diseases and, um, uh, they would, uh, tell ...
