Talking points: history, psychology, mindset, culture Like George Santayana said, those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.

Talking points: masculinity, mental health, friendship Short but important one, team. I'm sure you've seen the memes that go something like "Is the cure for male loneliness pickleball?"

Talking points: relationships Yes, that's a provocative title. Yes, listen to the whole thing. No, this isn't men being mad at women. This is what I've seen time and again, plus what I've been told by multiple women and couples I've worked with, and it's something both parties are responsible for.

It’s a wild ride through the 510s BCE in Greece—where legends fall and the ground starts to shift beneath the ancient world.
