In their first episode, “Who We Are and Why We are Here,” Aydian Dowling and Mike Watts lay the foundation for their groundbreaking podcast: The State of Men. We get the inside scoop of how they met, their hopes for the modern man, and how they plan on helping us there. They waste no time opening up about themselves while setting the stage for an all-inclusive environment to discuss every aspect of masculinity. From football to accountability, from mountain biking to broken kneecaps, from fatherhood to vulnerable conversations, we hear how Aydian and Mike plan to help “level up” men in today’s society.
