I met Kodah at an interactive social event in LA and instantly found him to be interesting, charismatic and eloquent. I had no idea about his transgender backstory and experience, but when I was told about it, I knew he would make for a compelling interview subject. Trigger warning: the subject of transgender is controversial and polarized to begin with, and Kodah's story cannot help but serve as a cautionary tale of sorts. That does not mean that Kodah's message, nor the message of this episode is anti-trans in any way. This is the exploration of one man's journey out of and back into manhood and should be taken as such.
Kodah begins with a summary of his life story, offering along the way his own self-analysis of how his journey towards gender transformation unfolded. He also discusses trans culture, some aspects of which he found welcoming and life-affirming, others he found problematic. He describes his direct experience with sissy hypno-porn, the politicization of the trans movement and ventures into other topics that some will find challenging. I believe anyone who gets to know Kodah will not find him to be anti-trans. The Omega Male podcast seeks to explore emergent paradigms, concepts and notions of maleness and is founded upon the spirit of inclusiveness, expansiveness and Love. I hope to have the opportunity to interview both trans men and women in the future to hear more perspectives in this particular domain.
Kodah is a peak performance and leadership facilitator and strategist. His journey has been informed by deep personal transformation at the interaction of gender, tech and anthropology.His career experience spans entrepreneurship, venture strategy and givernment partnerships. Currently facilitating team leadership through the Flow Genome Project.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedMost of us are familiar with the concept of a men's group, which generally brings to mind a small, intimate circle of men sharing openly with each other, supporting each other and generally connecting on a deeper level. The concept of a bigger men's club might, in contrast, evoke images of sports-related organizations, poker nights, or even those old hunting clubs with men sitting in leather armchairs chomping cigars and drinking scotch in oak-paneled rooms with moose antlers on the walls. The idea of a men's community that fosters personal connection and support much like a smaller men's group, but also quite expansively includes a variety of support resources, talks, community activities and professional connections is, however, a whole new concept that METAL is forging new ground with, so to speak. Kindness and connection are the elements that weld this group together, and the only rule is: no politics and no religion! In this inspired conversation, partner and CEO of METAL Will Henshall shares both his own story and a thorough explanation of what METAL is all about and how it serves both its members and humanity.…

Imagine an east coast intellectual with a decidedly liberal/progressive disposition who happens to also be a faithful Christian. I call John the "gentleman iconoclast" in that he mercilessly lampoons those who share his faith but not his politics, but always with basic human dignity, respect and humor, even at his most biting. We talk about being both a father of a son and the son of a father, so-called masculinity in our time, our own notions of manhood, and we expand from there into more philosophical and esoteric directions. Truly a treat to hang with this generous spirit!…

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.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedTeaching 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.…

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.…
