I am joined by Dr. Robert Glover, a seasoned therapist, coach, and the acclaimed author of "No More Mr. Nice Guy." Dr. Glover recounts his transition from aspiring minister to a leading relationship expert, driven by his personal experiences and professional observations. We discuss the pervasive issue of "nice guy syndrome," examining its roots in early childhood and its impact on adult relationships and personal fulfillment.

Dr. Glover offers a critical perspective on modern attachment styles, challenging commonly accepted statistics and underscoring the importance of vulnerability and self-exploration. The conversation delves into the value of male support groups in fostering accountability and growth, as well as the detrimental effects of technology on relational dynamics.

We further explore the complexities of modern masculinity, the shifting societal norms, and the crucial balance of masculine and feminine energies within individuals. Through a blend of personal anecdotes and professional insights, Dr. Glover provides a compelling narrative on overcoming fears, achieving personal growth, and nurturing healthy, conscious relationships. This episode serves as a profound resource for those seeking to understand and navigate the intricate dynamics of modern relationships and self-improvement.

QUOTES - DR. ROBERT GLOVER:

Empowerment Through Brotherhood
"Anytime we face a fear and we do it with the support of other men, that becomes so empowering."

Confronting Marital Fears Together
"How can we work together to make this marriage, this relationship more satisfying for everybody involved?"

Why We Struggle in Relationships
"So I, I think the majority of the population, due to early childhood experience primarily with our mother and father, determines our ability to create trusting, healthy connection with other people."

Decline of Traditional Relationships
"More and more people report not having been in a relationship for, you know, X number of months, not having had sex in X number of months. The age of marriage keeps going up. Fewer and fewer people are getting married."

The Downside of Social Media and Dating Apps
"I think the social media and the apps are, they're not moving us forward. I think they're moving us backward."
