Recommend podcasts / videos about healthy male roles and positive masculinity

Seeking Advice

Early thirties male and I feel my brain needs some intel on being a better male role model. Emphasis on role model. Things I never learned or observed growing up.

Can recommend a podcast host or long videos discussing developing empathy for others, taking ownership for mistakes, positive role models, non-toxic masculinity and respecting women.

So far, I've been mostly exposed to the grind mindsets of David Goggins, Jocko Willink and Joe Rogan. I feel those are helpful to stop pitying self and push through with sports, but they give nothing in terms of learning how to interact, listen to and respect others.

I don't want to be an assertive gorilla that scares others. I may have wanted that at 18, but that time passed. Now I want to actually feel inside that I'm proud and at ease with the man I am.

In short, I'm hopping to find opposite of videos like "Top 10 Traits to Attract High Value Women" and listen to some examples of men learning how to stop objectifying women and turning everything into competition, learning to share emotions, etc.

Thanks in advance!
