#122 Successful Men Are Not Emotionally Unavailable. They Are Lonely. | Nick Jonsson

Most people blame men for being emotionally closed off. But what if the entire diagnosis is wrong? Nick Jonsson and Yana Fry dismantle a cultural assumption and what comes next changes the conversation completely.JOIN MY SIGNATURE MASTERCLASS ABOUT FEMININE LOVE ARCHETYPES → https://bit.ly/48tM76uNick Jonsson is globally recognised as the #1 thought leader on executive loneliness, a title he earned by living through the thing nobody talks about: 400 staff, 72 hospitals, every external marker of success, and a complete collapse into alcoholism, passive suicidality, and writing his will at rock bottom. This conversation traces the arc from that floor to a V-shaped recovery built on three unexpected tools: a psychosomatic foot crisis that forced him to speak for the first time in his life, 500 hours of Minecraft that rebuilt a broken father-son bond, and a 12-step amends process completed with 60 people stretching back 35 years. He also delivers the leadership diagnosis no one is naming: the most emotionally underdeveloped generation of men is currently running the world's companies, and it's going to cost us.IN THIS EPISODE00:00 | Men Aren't Unavailable.
