Men… Explained? Finally? Tom Sturges Cracks the Code on the Male Mind

from Up + Adam with Adam Montiel · host Adam Montiel

Why are men the way they are? Why do they forget birthdays but remember every detail of their first crush? Why do they seem stuck at 14... even when they’re 54? Legendary music executive Tom Sturges has worked with icons like Foo Fighters, Outkast, and 50 Cent, but his newest project may be his most revealing yet. His book Men Explained, Finally is a laugh-out-loud, startlingly wise, and surprisingly tender collection of essays that crack open the male mind and help us all make a little more sense of it. In this conversation, Tom joins Adam for a heartfelt, funny, and thought-provoking look at why men do what they do, how to love them without trying to fix them, and why understanding the "14-year-old boy" inside every man might just be the key to better relationships. Whether you’re a man, love a man, or gave up on one, this episode is for you. • Buy the Book: Men Explained, Finally Amazon – Available Now • Follow Tom on Instagram: @TomSturgesIdeas ******** Adam will be leading a live workshop on The Art of the Interview at this year’s Central Coast Writers Conference, happening September 26–27, 2025 at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo.
