Male Mind Matters

Brian Keane: How To Re-Write Your Story

James Sutton Season 1 Episode 24

In this episode of Male Mind Matters, I’m joined by Brian Keane - author, speaker, and host of the hugely successful The Brian Keane Podcast. 

We talk openly about shame, trauma, and how men are conditioned to shut down the very conversations that would set them free. From the illusion of “normal lads” to redefining masculinity, Brian shares how his journey through grief, abuse, and burnout helped him rewrite his story - and how yours can be rewritten too.

We cover why your mess becomes your message, how to sit with grief rather than numb it, the difference between real and perceived fear, and the mindset shifts that can change your life. 

This episode is about courage, clarity, and choosing to run toward the storm like the buffalo - because healing doesn’t come from hiding, it comes from facing the monster under the bed… and learning to walk it on a lead.
