What does it mean to be a man in the age of AI?

This episode dives into how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping masculinity, communication, and mental health, offering both opportunities and challenges in the digital age. The conversation explores how AI can support emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and personal growth - when used as a tool rather than a crutch. With thoughtful discussion on the ethical implications of AI, the crisis of masculinity, and the importance of human connection, the episode urges men to redefine strength through vulnerability, advocate for responsible tech use, and navigate this new landscape with intention and integrity.
