Dan Mackenzie hosts wide-ranging conversations exploring emergent paradigms of masculinity, the healthy evolution of men and new conceptions of manhood and maleness with a variety of compelling guests. Daniel has intentionally appropriated the rare and vaguely defined term OMEGA MALE, rebranding it to represent the emergent, kinder, more balanced ideal for male-ness which he hopes will gradually supplant the antiquated, compulsively dominant ”alpha male”.

EPISODE 6: TYSON ADAMS - trauma-informed personal coach who helps men outgrow pornography, objectification and infidelity
Not all men's coaches are created equal, and Tyson Adams truly stands out from the burgeoning crowd with his unique approach to men's inner health. San Diego resident Tyson identifies himself as a trauma-informed men’s coach who utilizes Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to help men outgrow unwanted sexual behavior such as habitual pornography use, objectification and infidelity. The majority of men's coaches today seem focused on leadership, success and empowerment. While those things interest Tyson, too, his primary domain lies in healing. Our conversation ranges from deeply personal exchanges about our own formative experiences with pornography to sweeping philosophical explorations of intimacy, masturbation, circumcision and more. By far the raciest episode!

EPISODE 5: LISA ROMERO - personal development author, public speaker and Anthroposophical meditation teacher on masculine and feminine forces
Spoiler alert - this episode gets deeply esoteric! Lisa brings a uniquely spiritual perspective to our topic, leading into new territory for the podcast. Speaking from a point of view that incorporates considerations of karmic purpose and mission, she discusses the connection between violence and subverted sexual energy and how the capacities inherent to a male incarnation might differ from those of a female one. Her take on the terms "masculine" and "feminine" as referring to forces available to all humans is revelatory. It's a pleasure to hear how Lisa manages to translate nuanced spiritual concepts into straightforward, comprehensible language.

EPISODE 4: STEPHEN JENKINSON ~ elder, author, storyteller, sage, death witness and teacher of ”orphan wisdom”
Teaching through story, song, metaphor and poetry can be so much more powerful than the mere intellectual transference of ideas. Stephen Jenkinson employs his extraordinary mastery of language in loyal service of that more creative, illustrative sharing of wisdom in ways only a true elder is equipped to do. In so doing, he is an inspiration and a pleasure just to listen to.
While the willingness to cast off outmoded ways of being and thinking is crucial to the envisioning of new paradigms and forms, so is also the consideration of what elements of past forms still merit retention and incorporation. Who could be better endowed than an elder with the wisdom to make that discernment? Stephen talks about the responsibility of linguistic prowess and reframes the contemporary conversation about patriarchy. Breaking the term down to its roots, he lays out a unique understanding of patriarchy as a function rather than an identity or a system and later explores Vladimir Putin as an example of someone who falls egregiously short of that function.

EPISODE 3: JOHN HAMBURG ~ the blockbuster comedy filmmaker who makes us laugh while helping us evolve
John Hamburg writes - and sometimes directs - Hollywood blockbuster comedy films. His "best known for" list is nearly identical to his entire filmography: the "Meet The Parents" trilogy, the "Zoolander" films, "I Love You, Man", "Along Came Polly" and "Why Him?". Whether he is exploring more mundane scenarios with everyday characters or the outlandishly satirical world of Zoolander, Hamburg evokes hilarity while also giving us plenty of cultural food for thought - particularly about the challenges that come with being a guy. While he is far too humble to acknowledge the immense cultural impact of his own work, a deep dive into his films reveals how Hamburg's thematic exploration of "guyhood" has helped us evolve in our conception of and reflections about men. In his interview we explore how he exploits men's discomfort with intimacy, vulnerability, conflict and societal expectations for comedy gold by simply reflecting his own experiences and what he observes in the world around him.
