The Next Man Up

The Next Man Up is a thought-provoking podcast that explores the contradictions at the heart of modern masculinity—where the pursuit of success, status, and self-optimization still leaves many men feeling unfulfilled.

Through candid, unfiltered conversations, we examine the tension between freedom and connection, power and purpose, fear and fulfillment. We challenge common tropes and assumptions around sex, attraction, and relationships, offering fresh perspectives. By exploring the stages of manhood through the unique experiences of each guest, we uncover both the nuances and universal themes that define the modern male journey.

Men and women seem to misunderstand each other more than ever—we’re at an impasse. Through open, unfiltered dialogue, we’re bridging the gap between what men experience and what they truly desire, creating space for empathy, deeper connections, and healthier relationships.

The goal is to help women better understand men and men better understand themselves.
