Alex Netherda: A Guys Take on Dating, Depression, and Radical Candor

This week, Jules chops it up with Alex Netherda—athlete, actor, fitness junkie, and motivational powerhouse—for a hilarious and brutally honest deep dive into his life and lessons learned. They unpack everything: how they met, his days playing NCAA football at Cal Berkeley, and that time he was a safari guide (yes, really). Alex spills on his brush with prostitution, the insanity of tipping culture, and what working in the service industry taught him about people. But it’s not all laughs. The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as Alex opens up about battling depression and anxiety and the life-saving impact of therapy. They tackle why men still struggle to talk about their feelings and how "toxic masculinity" has become the catch-all phrase of the decade. On the dating front, Alex dishes on being single, avoiding dating apps, and surviving the beast that is LA dating. From first-date "icks" to red flags he ignored, to Jules throwing in some Westside-approved first date ideas—there’s no holding back. Oh, and Alex explains what “strange” means (spoiler: it’s not what you think). They also chat about his decision to never drink at an early age, his commitment to “radical candor,” and what it really means to be the kind of man people look up to. This one’s full of twists, laughs, and the kind of conversations we should be having more often.
