Today on Too Opinionated, we're joined by award-winning Canadian author Mike Poliwoda to discuss his compelling new book: 📚 The Performed Man Available now on Amazon, The Performed Man explores a challenge many men experience but rarely talk about: what happens when responsibility becomes identity. Over time, many men are taught to be providers, protectors, problem-solvers, and sources of stability. What begins as strength, resilience, and dependability can gradually become emotional armor. Performance replaces expression, connection becomes transactional, and life starts to feel managed rather than lived. In The Performed Man, Mike examines how men can become trapped in a "performed identity" shaped by expectations, achievement, and endurance. Rather than a dramatic breakdown, the result is often a quieter struggle marked by fatigue, irritability, disconnection, and the feeling that something essential has been lost. The book offers a practical, psychologically grounded roadmap for reclaiming balance without abandoning responsibility. Mike challenges readers to redefine strength through self-awareness, communication, flexibility, and genuine connection. We also explore Mike's diverse catalog of work, including: 📖 Scars: Nine Short Stories – a collection of emotionally charged stories examining human vulnerability, loss, resilience, and redemption. 📖 Savior Machine: Four Short Stories – a thought-provoking collection blending speculative fiction, technology, and human nature. Through dark, imaginative storytelling, Savior Machine explores the consequences of innovation, the complexity of morality, and the often-unpredictable relationship between humanity and the systems we create. 📖 Over Uneasy 📖 Rage Slam Haiku: Haiku for the Daily Grind In this episode we discuss: ✅ The inspiration behind The Performed Man ✅ Modern masculinity and emotional health ✅ Why so many men feel disconnected despite success ✅ The hidden costs of always being "the strong one" ✅ Lessons from Savior Machine and his fiction writing ✅ The importance of self-awareness, resilience, and growth This is a thoughtful conversation about identity, purpose, mental health, storytelling, and what it means to live authentically in a world full of expectations. 👉 Subscribe now: https://www.youtube.com/@MeisterkhanPod 🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more interviews with authors, artists, and thought leaders on Too Opinionated. #TooOpinionatedPodcast #MikePoliwoda #ThePerformedMan #SaviorMachine #MensMentalHealth
