Balls On The Table

Episode Description: At the table this week, Bradley Hicks—former Navy SEAL Task Force leader, investor, and entrepreneur—opens up about the personal battles that followed his years in service. Bradley reflects on the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life, while finding deep meaning in raising his son, building companies, and navigating co-parenting with intention and presence. He shares how he’s stepped into a more conscious, “higher frequency” way of living — aligning his actions with integrity, and carrying the discipline from his SEAL career into fatherhood, future relationships, and business. This is a raw, direct conversation about growth, taking responsibility, and what it means to evolve as a man, and a leader… and, candidly, what not to do in relationships.

Actor and Stanford graduate Nicholas Gonzalez comes to the table for a layered conversation about ambition, fatherhood, legacy, and modern intimacy. We talk about what it means to be a man who is still building a successful career while staying present at home - and how easy it is to lose connection in a world that rewards performance over presence. We dive into what gives women “the ick,” how no one seems to be having sex, and the quiet ways men have to evolve - not just perform...

What happens when men stop pretending… and actually talk? Balls On The Table is where real conversations about modern manhood finally get said out loud. The pressures. The expectations. The stuff guys joke about but rarely admit actually affects them — relationships, sex, fatherhood, aging, insecurity, success, failure, and the quiet fears most men carry alone. Hosted from the regular guy’s point of view — we’re not therapists, not celebrity experts — just a couple guys willing to go first. This show brings honest, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations with friends, strangers, and people who have lived it. Some episodes make you laugh. Some hit deeper than expected. All of them put the truth where it belongs: on the table. This isn’t about complaining. It’s about understanding what men think they want, what they actually need, and what changes when they finally start talking about it. If you’re a man trying to grow, figure things out, or just hear someone say, “Yeah, me too,” this is your seat at the table. And if you’re trying to understand a man — you’ll want to listen. Because the strongest men aren’t the ones who stay quiet. They’re the ones who have the guts to put their balls on the table. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
