The State of Men Trailer

The State of Men is hosted by two Elder Millennial work-from-home-Dads, Mike Watts (cis man) and Aydian Dowling (trans man), a funny and real-life approach to being men in the 2020s. The State of Men is taking a deep dive into masculinity to talk about what we do, and why we do it. We believe a better future for our world is in part the responsibility of the Men in it. We invite all men to do the work and fix their shit, so we can leave a legacy we are proud of.  Mike Watts, co-founded a business with his wife, Kate Northrup, netting over $1 million in sales per year, and Aydian Dowling, a transgender activist and board president of PointOfPride.org, come together to create The State of Men. An honest and open podcast created for Men who want to show up for one another- and for others. Societally, men have been brainwashed into a narrow view of masculinity through which they can't see their full potential. Gender norms are changing, the glass ceiling is shattered, and home life has been reinvented. So what does it mean to be a man in this new world? The State of Men is a funny, honest, real-world look at the stigmas that exist around men. The truth is men want to fix their shit, but where do we even start.  That is where we come in.
