How Can Men Thrive In Modern Life? with Matthew Stefanko, Co-founder of MANUAL

Matthew Stefanko shares his journey from struggling with mental health and substance abuse to founding the company Manual. Manual helps young men aged 15-25 with mental health, sexual health, career planning, personal finance, and more. For Matthew, it's the organization he wishes he had had when he was that age. We talk about avoiding burnout, being a leader with anxiety, and recognizing one’s own strengths. Matthew reflects on the hyper-masculine environment he grew up in and how that manifested in him later on and in other men. Ultimately, young men are experiencing a crisis of not being heard or understood and not knowing what to do about it, which can have negative long-term consequences. Though it's sometimes easier said than done, being honest with yourself about your mental health struggles and seeking appropriate support is so important to learn how to deal with them and access a state of thriving.  Topics Covered:Balancing entrepreneurship and well-beingServing yourself to serve the missionMale disconnection and lonelinessThe male crisisSubstances and social anxietyRise of erectile dysfunctionMen’s roles in partnershipsGuest Info website: manual.careFollow Me:Instagram: @afinehuman Shop Dame: dame.com Title Options:This podcast was produced by The Wave Podcasting
