A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

The Best Men's Podcast For Greater Happiness & Health
Let’s be honest. If you’re crushing it at work but your personal life is circling the drain, you’re not actually winning. And if you’ve mastered spreadsheets but can’t remember the last time you laughed, touched a human, or had sex that didn’t feel like a negotiation—well, you’ve got a problem. Who says men aren't into personal development!?
The goal here isn’t just success. It’s success and happiness. At work and at home. Anything less? That’s just a burnout cocktail served with a side of regret.
Dr. John Schinnerer has been helping high-achieving men level the hell up for over 20 years. We're talking Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, Fortune 500 CEOs, pro athletes, and high-powered execs—aka, the guys who look like they have it all together but are secretly one crisis away from losing their minds. It's not enough to be successful. We also need connection, happiness and purpose.
John’s obsession? The sweet spot where high performance meets actual fulfillment. Where you stop white-knuckling your way through life and start showing up with purpose, connection, and the kind of swagger that comes from knowing who you are—not just what you do.
So if you want to start tuning into the best podcast for men, if you want to become the kind of man who’s not emotionally allergic, who leads with confidence, loves with intention, and actually enjoys the life he’s built—welcome. You’re exactly where you need to be.
Just do us all a favor and hit subscribe, rate, review, and, most importantly, share this with another person who could use a kick in the emotional pants.

Episode 19: The 4 Indicators of Looming Divorce Part 2: Contempt and Stonewalling 31:27

vor 4 Tagen31:27

31:27

Welcome back to a special joint episode of The Evolved Caveman and Love Isn’t Enough podcasts, where your favorite therapist power couple, Dr. John and Joree, lovingly drag your toxic relationship habits into the daylight. This week? We’re tackling the last two horsemen of your relational apocalypse: Contempt and Stonewalling. (Because your love life wasn't already teetering on the edge after Criticism and Defensiveness last week.) First up: Contempt — the "I’m better than you" flavor of loathing that turns every dishwasher squabble into a power play. It's got everything: eye-rolls, sneers, and the emotional subtlety of a flamethrower. According to the Gottmans, contempt is basically the kiss of death. Spot it in the first 5 minutes of a fight? That relationship’s got the lifespan of a mayfly (that is, breakup is around the corner!). Then there's Stonewalling, the cold shoulder’s evil twin. It’s when one partner shuts down, checks out, and basically becomes a decorative plant during conflict. Spoiler: that's not sexy. Or helpful. Or sustainable. It’s also a harbinger of breakup. John and Joree keep it real by admitting they used to suck at this stuff too. But they’ve done the work — and now they're here to help you recognize these behaviors before your relationship flatlines. So if you're tired of feeling unheard, judged, or like you’re arguing with a brick wall (or *being* one), tune in. You might cringe a little, but hey — growth isn’t supposed to be comfy.

Welcome back to a special joint episode of The Evolved Caveman and Love Isn’t Enough, where Joree and John lovingly drag your relationship habits into the light—so you can stop sabotaging your love life one passive-aggressive comment at a time. In this episode, we’re saddling up with the Four Horsemen of the (Relationship) Apocalypse, straight from the research of the OG love nerds, Drs. John and Julie Gottman. These four bad boys— criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling —aren’t just annoying. They’re *statistically proven* to predict divorce with a freaky 92% accuracy rate. That’s right. If these habits are riding around unchecked in your relationship, you're not just arguing over the dishwasher—you might be headed for Splitsville. Today, we’re going deep on the first two horsemen: Criticism (AKA “Let me tell you why you suck”) and Defensiveness (AKA “Oh really? Well what about YOU?”). Joree and John keep it real with personal stories, hilarious moments of self-awareness, and insight from working with clients who, let’s just say, *learned the hard way*. What You'll Learn (Besides How to Stop Arguing Like 5-Year-Olds): * Why your nervous system flips out in the middle of a fight * How criticism is NOT the same as feedback (and why one will wreck your weekend) * The sneaky ways defensiveness kills emotional safety * How to stop being a porcupine when your partner needs a hug * Simple ways to shift from reaction to curiosity (yes, even mid-argument) * The absolute magic of non-defensive listening (hint: your partner might cry happy tears) * And how to actually connect—even when you’re pissed Because the goal isn’t just to stop fighting. It’s to fight smarter, love deeper, and maybe—just maybe—not feel like you're stuck in a never-ending episode of *Who’s the Bigger Jerk?* Bottom Line? You don’t need to be perfect—you just need to show up, own your sh\*t, and stop letting bad habits ride roughshod over your connection. With curiosity, compassion, and a little non-defensive magic, you can actually make your relationship feel less like a battlefield and more like, well, love. Want more tough love with tools? 💔 Check out the Relationship Master Class at 👉 [LoveIsntEnough.net](https://LoveIsntEnough.net) (Spoiler: love isn’t enough. But boundaries, communication, and knowing what to do when your partner is annoying?

Episode 12: The Essential Guide to Ego Death and Growth: Mastering Your Mind 46:25

vor 6 weeks46:25

46:25

**Ego Death & Psychedelic Rebirth — with AJ Murillo** Here is another mind-bending episode of *The Evolved Caveman Podcast*. This week, Dr. John sits down with AJ Murillo — author, psychonaut, and expert navigator of the inner cosmos — to talk all things *ego death*. What the hell *is* ego death? And why should you care? Because it might just be the wake-up call your soul, your heart and your mind have been begging for. AJ takes us through her deeply personal journey — from divine moments as a kid to full-on ego obliteration via psychedelics as an adult. We talk about prepping your mind and spirit for the plunge, managing emotional chaos mid-trip, and dodging the landmines on the path to inner transformation. We also dive into: - What happens *after* ego death — and why reintegration is the real test - How psychedelics can amplify self-awareness (if you’re ready to face the truth) - Why the mind-body connection is your best ally — or your worst enemy And how letting go of who you *think* you are can lead to who you *actually* are Why Ego Death Matters To You 1. Insecurity and Fear of Failure – When identity is tied to achievements or external validation, failure feels like a personal attack rather than a learning experience. 2. Relationship Struggles – A strong ego can lead to defensiveness, an inability to admit mistakes, and difficulty empathizing with others, causing conflict in romantic and social relationships. 3. Lack of Growth – Over-identification with a fixed self-image makes it hard to embrace change, take risks, or learn from feedback. 4. Perfectionism and Stress – A fragile ego fears imperfection, leading to anxiety, burnout, and chronic dissatisfaction. 5. Inauthenticity – The need to maintain an idealized self-image can cause people to suppress their true thoughts, emotions, or desires. 6. Victim Mentality – An ego that feels attacked easily can lead to blame-shifting and a refusal to take responsibility for personal actions. 7. Resistance to Vulnerability – Overattachment to ego creates a fear of being seen as weak, making emotional intimacy difficult. 8. Spiritual and Existential Disconnection – When the ego dominates, people may struggle to find deeper meaning, purpose, or a sense of interconnectedness. This episode is part mystical download, part grounded coaching, and 100% real. So if you're ready to challenge your identity, expand your consciousness, and explore the cosmic ballet that is *you* — buckle up. Let’s crack the shell of the ego and see what’s on the other side.

Heart Surgeries, Health Bombs & Why Men Are Too Dumb to See a Doctor – with Dr. Jacob Kendall Hey degenerates, seekers, and emotionally constipated warriors—Dr. John here with another no-BS episode of *The Evolved Caveman Podcast*. This time? We’re going deep with Dr. Jacob Kendall, a man who’s basically stared death in the face (twice), wiped someone else’s ass for a living (caregiving, people—keep up), and still thought, “You know what? I should get *another* advanced degree.” Because apparently two heart surgeries and three fields of study (biology, social work, public health) weren’t challenging enough. And now? He’s working on a Master’s in Divinity. Yeah, seriously. This man’s brain is playing 4D chess while the rest of us are still trying to spell “healthcare.” We dig into: - Why your health isn’t just physical—it’s mental, emotional, social, and maybe even spiritual (yeah, I said it) - Why men suck at going to the doctor (hint: it’s not bravery, it’s stupidity) - How America’s obsession with *rugged individualism* is basically a slow-motion death cult - Hot takes on masculinity, male fragility, and why women outlive us by years (pro tip: it's not because of kale) - Why the U.S. healthcare system is like trying to fix a bullet wound with duct tape and a WebMD article - What the hell it means to *age well* without turning into a cranky, isolated shadow of your former self This episode is jam-packed with real talk, brilliant insights, and a healthy dose of “WTF are we even doing with our lives?” So pour a (healthy) drink, drop the ego, and press play.

Episode 9: Healing Men: The Unseen Battle with Trauma 50:03

vor 10 weeks50:03

50:03

THE UNSEEN BATTLE: WHY MEN SUCK AT HEALING FROM TRAUMA Let’s get real. Men don’t talk about trauma. We barely talk about emotions at all, so why the hell would we open up about the stuff that actually messed us up? Instead, we do what we’ve been trained to do— bury it, numb it, ignore it, and hope it just goes away. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t. In this episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast , Dr. John Schinnerer sits down with Malachi Gillihan , a PhD candidate and men’s trauma specialist who’s making it his mission to help men face their demons instead of running from them. Malachi knows what he’s talking about, because he’s been there. As a survivor of child sexual trauma , he understands firsthand how trauma rewires the brain, hijacks emotions, and shapes how men show up (or don’t) in relationships, work, and life. We explore the messy, uncomfortable, and absolutely necessary conversation about men and trauma —why we avoid it, how it impacts us in ways we don’t even realize, and what the hell to do about it. THE UNCOMFORTABLE TOPICS WE’RE DIVING INTO - What trauma actually is (hint: it’s not just war vets and car crashes) - The helplessness factor and why it screws men up more than we think - Clinical vs. subclinical PTSD and why so many guys are walking around with undiagnosed trauma - How gender socialization makes healing harder (because apparently, “suck it up” isn’t great medical advice ) - Why co-regulation matters in recovery and why going it alone is the worst plan ever - How the rugged individualism myth keeps men stuck in cycles of pain - The power of group therapy and why healing happens faster when you stop trying to tough it out solo ABOUT MALACHI GILLIHAN Malachi is not your typical trauma expert. He’s a yogi, spiritual counselor, and trauma specialist who blends Eastern and Western approaches to recovery. He’s taught over 1,000 classes on trauma, meditation, and healing, runs a private practice, and leads retreats designed to help men break free from the weight of their past. With a Master’s in East-West Psychology and a PhD in progress focused on group-based interventions for survivors of sexual trauma, he’s spent years studying how trauma rewires the brain and how men can reclaim their emotional health. If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t have trauma," or "That stuff doesn’t affect me," this episode might just prove you wrong. And if you’ve been carrying something heavy for way too long, this conversation could be the first step toward finally putting it down.…
