The gist

Rich Dorment has spent years shaping the conversation around men — first at Esquire, now as editorial director of Men’s Health. He’s one of the leading voices exploring what guys actually need today: emotional openness, better role models, real connection, and permission to be more than just “fine.” In this episode, Rich opens up about the state of modern masculinity, what he’s learned from interviewing some of the world’s most influential men, and why storytelling can change how guys understand themselves.
