#67 The Hidden Cost of People-Pleasing in Your Relationship with Dr Robert Glover
Monday, 24 November, 2025
Why do so many men feel like they’re doing everything right, but still feel lonely, unseen, and resentful? In this raw and deeply practical episode, I’m joined once again by No More Mr. Nice Guy author Dr. Robert Glover. In this no-holds-barred conversation, we unpack the real reasons men struggle to ask for what they want, receive love, and build lasting relationships. We explore the covert contracts that keep men stuck in silent resentment. We also unpack the hidden shame around masculine needs and the painful effects of emotional isolation. But this episode isn’t just about naming the problem. It’s a masterclass for reclaiming your power, building real brotherhood, and creating the kind of life and relationship you actually want. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why you might believe (consciously or unconsciously) that having needs makes you weak or bad. What a “covert contract” is and how it's silently sabotaging your relationships. Why most men struggle to receive, and how that blocks intimacy, connection and wealth. How to identify the “junk food” behaviours and relationships that are draining your energy. A powerful 3-step life audit to help you reconnect with your purpose, community, and emotional needs. The evolutionary reason men crave brotherhood and why isolation is destroying your health. Why men's groups are the antidote to digital distraction, porn addiction, and emotional loneliness.

THE KING'S CIRCLE: A DOJO FOR INTEGRATED LEADERS An integrated leader recognises that we all have inner work to do. So, these new-paradigm leaders seek out people, processes, and places that support them in recognising and integrating their blind spots. Each month, Fathers Sons Brothers host the King's Circle, a two-hour transformational leadership training experience. It’s a men-only space where visionaries gather to learn tools and frameworks that make them better communicators and more integrated leaders. When you regularly invest in this type of training: - You gain access to a space where men from all over the world support and encourage you to show up at your best. - You get clear on what you came here to do. You reconnect with your mission. - You recognise where you’re leaking energy, and you reclaim that power to allocate towards serving your mission. - You develop more trust in yourself, and this improvement is reflected in all your relationships. - You feel inspired and excited about our brave new world, as you connect deeper with the other Integrated Leaders through the King’s Circle. All growth after puberty is optional and the men who attend our circle have a growth mindset like you. We support each other in becoming the new paradigm of courageous leaders we've been waiting for.
