  • The Masculinity Crisis No One is Talking About

    The Masculinity Crisis No One is Talking About
    2026/01/27
    What does it actually mean to be a man in 2026? In this episode, we talk about the masculinity crisis that nobody really wants to face. Why so many men feel lost, emotionally disconnected, and under pressure to live up to an old idea of what being a man is supposed to look like. George Bell opens up about his own battle with mental health and suicidal thoughts, and how his understanding of masculinity nearly cost him his life. We explore why men are taught to suppress emotion, why asking for help still feels like weakness, and why so many young men are turning to extreme online figures for identity and direction. In this conversation we cover: Why masculinity is changing and why many men are struggling with it The link between emotional suppression and male suicide How modern culture is leaving men without a clear role or identity Why “men are broken” is not an attack, but a wake-up call What healthy, grounded masculinity could actually look like George also talks about his new book and the work he is doing around male mental health and redefining what it means to be a man. George’s book: https://amzn.eu/d/0DuILcz This is not about blaming men. It is about understanding what is happening to them. If you have ever felt pressure to stay silent, man up, or carry everything alone, this episode is for you.

  • Why So Many Boys Are Listening To Andrew Tate

    Why So Many Boys Are Listening To Andrew Tate
    2026/01/26
    Why are so many boys and young men drawn to Andrew Tate and similar influencers? In this sneak peek from the upcoming episode with George Bell author of Be A Man About It, we explore the deeper question behind the controversy: what void is being filled, and why traditional messages about masculinity, confidence, purpose, and identity are no longer reaching young males. Rather than simply asking “Is Andrew Tate bad?”, this conversation looks at why his message resonates, what modern boys are missing, and how society’s portrayal of men as dangerous, toxic, or broken is pushing them toward extreme online role models. We discuss male identity, masculinity in the digital age, fatherlessness, self-worth, purpose, and the psychological needs of teenage boys growing up on social media. This clip examines: • Why young boys feel ashamed of being male • How masculinity is portrayed in media and schools • Why Andrew Tate’s lifestyle (money, women, fitness, status) is so appealing • The crisis of meaning facing Gen Z boys • How online influencers fill the role models gap • The real reason canceling Tate won’t solve the problem • What positive masculinity could look like in 2026 and beyond If you’ve wondered why so many teenage boys defend Andrew Tate, why masculinity content is exploding on YouTube and TikTok, or what message young men are actually hungry for, this sneak peek into the full episode asks the question no one else is asking. Full episode drops tomorrow at 5pm. Chapters 00:00 The Dangerous Boy Stereotype: What Young Men See Online 00:46 The Andrew Tate Appeal: Why Boys Are Listening 01:03 The Traditional Masculine Checklist: Money, Fame, and Validation 01:43 The Whack-a-Mole Game: Why Another Influencer Will Just Replace Him #AndrewTate #ModernMasculinity #Toxic Masculinity

    2026/01/20

  • Heights Founder: How to Optimise Your Brain - Dan Murray

    Heights Founder: How to Optimise Your Brain - Dan Murray
    2026/01/13
    What if the real lever for change is not doing more, but becoming intentional about what shapes your brain, habits, and daily environment? In this episode of We Have A Meeting Podcast, Dan Murray, entrepreneur and founder of Heights, shares a deeply honest conversation about mental health, brain health, and the hidden forces that quietly shape how we think, feel, and live. Dan opens up about grief, depression, anxiety, chronic insomnia, and the search for long term solutions beyond quick fixes. He explains how nutritional imbalances can impact mood, focus, motivation, and sleep, why brain health is often misunderstood, and how neuroplasticity allows us to actively reshape who we become over time. The conversation also explores entrepreneurship through the lens of integrity and values. Dan reflects on building Heights from personal necessity, designing habits instead of relying on willpower, and the difficult decision to walk away from a successful podcast business to protect his family life and sense of alignment. Blending neuroscience, lived experience, simplicity in health, and intentional living, this episode is a grounded reminder that progress comes from small, consistent changes and conscious inputs, not perfection. You are not stuck with the brain, habits, or life you have today.
