  • Surviving War: Friendship, Manhood and Vulnerability with Major Tom Schueman

    Surviving War: Friendship, Manhood and Vulnerability with Major Tom Schueman
    Mar 13 2023
    Major Tom Schueman, The Man Enough Podcast’s first war veteran and active duty military guest, discusses male friendship, positive masculine characteristics that are not binary or the property of men alone, how being trained to be alert all the time on the battlefield can make it hard to be vulnerable and present in the rest of life, how knowing how to handle any kind of physical wound does not prepare you to address emotional or psychological wounds, and his belief that we need to learn how to reintegrate warriors back into society after combat like Native Americans and the Spartans used to do. Ultimately, he believes that healthy manhood is rooted in finding purpose and serving something greater than yourself.  New episodes every Monday 🎙️ Special video clips each week on https://youtube.com/WeAreManEnough  Sign up for the Man Enough newsletter to get full video episodes and positive masculinity news every Monday: http://manenough.com/newsletter The Man Enough Podcast is produced by Wayfarer Studios and presented by Procter and Gamble, in partnership with Cadence13, an Audacy company.   Timecodes:  00:00 Episode Tease: how learning to be alert all the time can prevent you from missing out on the fullness of life 01:39 Jamey and Liz talk about the mission of positive masculinity and their own journeys 02:58 Introducing Major Tom Schueman 06:38 Major Tom and Zak’s (Afghan translator) Friendship  10:43: Being Deliberate with Friendships  13:05 Positive Masculinity - Attributes are not binary/exclusive to men 16:39 The Mental Tax Of Violent Work  27:51 Post War Stress and Reintegration  32:14 Embracing Vulnerability   45:11 Breaking The “Dumb Dad” Stereotype  53:05 What Does It Mean To Be Man Enough?    About Major Tom Schueman:  During his 15 years in military service so far, Major Tom Schueman served as a platoon commander in Afghanistan for 16 months. Tom was awarded a Purple Heart after he and others were ambushed in a field on Nov. 9, 2010. He then went on to get his masters in English Literature at Georgetown University, and currently teaches English literature at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where he remains on active duty. Tom met Zainullah "Zak" Zaki, an Afghan translator who was embedded with the platoon he commanded in Afghanistan. Schueman and Zak quickly became “family.” Read _Always Faithful_ Major Tom and Zak co-wrote a book titled _Always Faithful_, telling the full story of the divergent paths that led them to work together in Afghanistan, the dangerous road they walked together in service to America, and how their commitment to each other ended up saving both their lives, literally.  Major Tom Quotes: “Male friendships…take commitment and consistency. We often think we’re too busy. No relationship will flourish unless it’s watered and fed.” “What I view as some of the positive masculine traits are self-composure, equanimity...I think one of the most desirable traits of a man is someone who is self-composed.” “I don’t view [traits] as binary or mutually exclusive…I’m not saying that it’s not feminine or women can’t do those things...When I talk about my hero, my mother, she exhibited many of these - what we would characterize as masculine traits - and did it exceedingly well.”  Guest Social Links:  IG: @kill.z0n3 Man Enough book: https://manenough.com/books Boys Will Be Human book: https://boyswillbehuman.com  FOLLOW THE HOSTS: Liz Plank https://instagram.com/feministabulous https://tiktok.com/@lizplank https://facebook.com/feministabulous https://twitter.com/feministabulous http://www.elizabethplank.com/ Jamey Heath https://instagram.com/jamey_heath_ https://tiktok.com/@jameyheath https://twitter.com/jamey_heath_ https://facebook.com/jameyjaz http://www.jameyheath.com/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Caylee created her channel while working as a public construction project manager where she would hear her male employees share the pains of marriage and complain about their wives and at the same time complain about the lack of sex in their relationships. She started to wonder “what do men want from women?” and thus the channel was born. Her aim is to bridge the communication gap between men and women by eloquently and calmly explaining viewpoints that many women are hesitant to express themselves.  Guest Social Links:  TIKTOK: @cayleecresta IG: @cayleecresta Subscribe to the Man Enough newsletter for behind the scenes, updates, sneak peeks of new episodes, and positive masculinity content: https://manenough.com/newsletter Read the Man Enough book: https://manenough.com/books Order the Boys Will Be Human book: https://boyswillbehuman.com  FOLLOW THE HOSTS: Justin Baldoni https://instagram.com/justinbaldoni https://www.tiktok.com/@justinbaldoni https://facebook.com/justinbaldoni https://twitter.com/justinbaldoni Text: +1 (310) 845-6909 Liz Plank https://instagram.com/feministabulous https://tiktok.com/@lizplank https://facebook.com/feministabulous https://twitter.com/feministabulous http://www.elizabethplank.com/ Jamey Heath https://instagram.com/jamey_heath_ https://tiktok.com/@jameyheath https://twitter.com/jamey_heath_ https://facebook.com/jameyjaz http://www.jameyheath.com/ #sex #marriage #stayathomewife #feminism #intimacy #couples #mentalhealth #truama #tiktok #stayathomegirlfriend To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Must listen. Then subscribe and share.

This is the podcast that we've been waiting for. First came the Man Enough web series which consisted of a round table of men discussing some of the topics that made them feel most vulnerable. This transitioned into a limited run podcast during quarantine.

Earlier this year Justin Baldoni shared a very honest and vulnerable look into his own Journey of undefining his masculinity in his debut book, Man Enough. (Available almost everywhere so pick up a copy or three, because it makes a great gift.)
This podcast continues that journey. Justin Baldoni along with Liz Plank and Jamey Heath make space for open and honest conversations with each other and their guests as they explore various issues surrounding masculinity and what it means to be Man Enough.

This is a must listen for all. I encourage everyone to listen even when it is uncomfortable and grow through the process.
