Man In Progress Podcast
William Boyd
ON A MISSION TO HELP MEN BETTER UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES IN TODAY'S WORLD WE COVER TOPICS SUCH AS... ANXIETY | LOVE | PURPOSE | DEPRESSION | SEX | HAPPINESS MAN IN PROGRESS WAS A VISION I HAD HELD ONTO FOR YEARS… I JUST HELD ONTO IT IN THE DARK… I WAS WORRIED ABOUT WHAT OTHER MEN IN MY LIFE (AND THE GIRLS I WAS DATING) WOULD THINK OF ME IF I STARTED OPENING UP ABOUT THE REAL EMOTIONS I WAS DEALING WITH AS A MAN IN MY LATE 20S AND NOW EARLY 30S: FEAR, ANXIETY, SADNESS, CONFUSION, ANGER, AND HAPPINESS. THE FEAR WAS, “WOULD PEOPLE FIND ME WEAK AND THEREFORE, LESS OF A MAN, FOR BEING AUTHENTIC WITH MY FEELINGS?”… IT TOOK A FEW YEARS, BUT AS I SLOWLY STARTED SHARING MY STORY WITH THOSE CLOSEST TO ME, THE MORE OTHERS AROUND ME STARTED TO VOICE THEIR OWN FEARS, FRUSTRATIONS, ANXIETIES… I REALIZED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY MEN OUT THERE LIVING QUIETLY IN PAIN… LIVING IN STRUGGLE… AND DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE SPEAKING THEIR TRUTH… I WANTED TO CREATE SPACE FOR THOSE MEN TO LISTEN, SHARE, AND BELONG TO A GROUP OF MEN WHO ARE ADMITTEDLY NOT PERFECT, BUT ARE STRIVING FOR PROGRESS TO BECOME BETTER MEN. WELCOME TO MAN IN PROGRESS. I HOPE YOU’LL JOIN US ON THIS PATH OF PROGRESS.

#006 - Mike Sagun - Creating Safe Spaces for Men
This chat with Mike Sagun, men's coach and facilitator for the EVRYMAN group, was so eye opening for me as the host. We dive into Mike's past and forming relationships with the men in his life (both positive and not so positive) and how those impacted his ability to open up later in life. We get into how Mike has been helping men across the country the past few years to feel comfortable enough to open up about their struggles and work through them. Mike's raw and transparent style is so refreshing and I think you'll get a ton out of this episode.
