What does it mean to be a man in the age of AI?
This episode dives into how artificial intelligence is reshaping masculinity, communication, and mental health, offering both opportunities and challenges in the digital age. The conversation explores how AI can support emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and personal growth - when used as a tool rather than a crutch. With thoughtful discussion on the ethical implications of AI, the crisis of masculinity, and the importance of human connection, the episode urges men to redefine strength through vulnerability, advocate for responsible tech use, and navigate this new landscape with intention and integrity.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
