Building Friendships And Alliances With Other Men - MTP358

Co-Host Antonio Neves (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/antonio) After a long career in television media, my guest co-host Antonio Neves now runs groups for men. He is also the author of Stop Living On Autopilot. Tony had the 'highlight reel' lifestyle on social media, but in reality his life was a mess...and headed south. He may have continued on that trajectory, except he got a break...he found and joined a community of men. How is such a community of men life-changing? And why is it different than going out and getting a beer with a buddy? What does Tony mean when he says, 'You need a man to call you up instead of calling you out'? Why is getting advice from an anonymous Internet group not nearly as valuable and effective as meeting with a much smaller group of guys in real life? What is the somewhat 'hidden' psychological barrier that tricks men out of building alliances and relationships with other dudes? Is there a specific reason why we can't count on our wives and girlfriends to meet the same need in our life a group of men would? What does being 'emotionally constipated' mean...and why is it not just unhealthy but potentially even dangerous to men? And what is it about the 'Lone Ranger' mentality that is especially damaging to men? One of Tony's most profound observations in this show is how we as men don't check in with other men we know and see how they're really doing. We take 'I'm fine' as a stock answer and move on. That obviously sounds important on the surface, so why do so few of us as men actively do it? And finally, what does it mean to gain 'allies of glory' instead of 'thieves of ambition'?
