In this powerful and honest episode, we sit down with DJ Logory, founder of Be That Guy, to explore the growing mental health crisis among young men and how it’s impacting modern relationships.

DJ shares his personal story of feeling lost in his early 20s despite having supportive parents—and how that experience opened his eyes to the silent struggles so many young men face today, including lack of direction, low confidence, and disconnection. This journey led him to create a movement that helps young men develop identity, purpose, and authentic self-confidence.

We dive deep into the real conversations many people are afraid to have, including the effects of toxic masculinity, the overlooked impact of toxic femininity, and how both are contributing to a loneliness epidemic affecting both men and women. We also discuss the growing confusion around gender roles, dating, and how men and women relate to each other in today’s world.

Additionally, we explore how the COVID era disrupted critical social development and communication skills, particularly for young men, and what that means for future relationships.

This conversation offers a balanced, compassionate, and grounded perspective on mental health, identity, dating, masculinity, femininity, and emotional connection, giving listeners clarity, insight, and hope for building healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self.
