I met Chako while doing a structural inspection. She is different than me in almost every way, yet we quickly connected. She is managing her pathway on earth after the love of her life suddenly died. She is doing it with grace, with class and with tears. She is open and vulnerable in this podcast, and she is also inspiring. Thank you Chako.

Like so many of us (OK all of us) Beau has his demons. He has had his thoughts of suicide. He is very familiar with his own demons and insecurities. Yet as a stranger to Garth, he came on the set ready to be vulnerable. Here is an inspiring man.

Like so many of us, Mark is a good man who found himself in a dark place. Life just does that to us. But Mark's dark place is pretty dark.

Here's how Mark is dealing with his demons, and what we can learn from him.

Before we get married, we show the best of ourselves. Then during a marriage, we get comfortable and then sometimes things mean, then toxic. But the greatest of demons happen when the divorce is complete. All too many of us know this pattern. Here's Chris Rexwell's story.

Like the rest of us, Jade knows his own darkness. He has been through the divorce, and he knows loneliness and isolation. But instead of staying there or turning to dark solutions, he has founded an answer. As a founder for Spherical Man, Jade has turned life's ultimate lemons into some of the planet's best lemonade. This is a great man and a great interview - the wisdom he has gained is clear

Buck is all of us: a man who is expected to take on certain roles in the family. It doesn't matter if we're well suited for all of the roles, and it doesn't matter if we've been prepared or taught to do that. We are just expected to do it. We're the dad. But who do you go to to get support learning that stuff? Buck is all of us, and he's a leader in getting it figured out. We can all learn from this man.
