The conversation around masculinity is changing—fast. In a world that constantly shifts the goalposts of what it means to be a man, many feel lost, disconnected, and pressured to prove themselves in ways that might not actually serve them. Rory Cockshaw is here to break it all down.

A Cambridge University student, ultra-endurance athlete, and entrepreneur, Rory has made it his mission to challenge outdated narratives, not just in the world of masculinity but also in the way we think about our diets, ethics, and the future of our planet.

In this deep, raw, and eye-opening conversation, we unpack:

✅ The Rise of the "Manosphere" – Why men are gravitating towards extreme views on masculinity and how it affects their mental and physical health.
✅ The Alpha Male Myth – The dangerous obsession with dominance, competition, and outdated survival instincts in a modern world.
✅ Diet & Identity – Why food has become a battleground for masculinity and the surprising truth about strength and nutrition.
✅ The Mental Health Crisis – The staggering statistics about men’s mental health, why it’s ignored, and what needs to change.
✅ The Other Side of the Coin – The challenges women face in today’s society and how both genders can navigate these pressures together.
✅ Fueling for Performance & Longevity – How Rory approaches training, endurance, and nutrition for peak performance.
✅ Gaming for Good – How Rory’s board games like Plants Against Veganity and Climateopoly are sparking conversations about ethics, sustainability, and positive change.

This episode isn’t just about men—it’s about breaking free from societal expectations and finding strength, purpose, and authenticity in a world full of noise.

🎧 Listen now, challenge your perspective, and take control of your own narrative.
