What does it mean to be a man in today's world? Between societal pressures, conflicting expectations, and the constant messaging about "toxic masculinity," many men find themselves walking an impossible tightrope – trying to be strong yet sensitive, confident yet humble, successful yet balanced.

Josh Tomeoni joins us to tackle these contradictions head-on with refreshing honesty and depth. As a coach, entrepreneur, and host of the Derelict Podcast, Josh creates spaces where men can be real about their struggles without shame. Drawing from his own spiritual awakenings and "midlife crises," he shares how discovering his purpose – helping men reclaim their authentic masculinity – transformed his life and relationships.

This conversation dives fearlessly into why so many men in their prime years (35-50) experience the highest suicide rates, and how disconnection from authentic self contributes to this crisis. Josh challenges the very concept of "toxic masculinity," arguing that toxicity has nothing to do with true masculinity – a perspective that liberates men to embrace their natural strengths without apology.

We explore practical wisdom for navigating divorce, making conscious choices about who influences your life, and approaching failure with curiosity rather than judgment. Josh's approach combines compassion with accountability, reminding us that failure is simply not accomplishing something – not being a failure as a person.

Whether you're struggling with relationship challenges, questioning your purpose, or simply tired of feeling like you're wearing a mask, this episode offers a roadmap to authentic masculinity and leadership. Ready to transform not just your life but the lives of those around you? Join us for a conversation that might just change everything.
