| 6/20/26 |  Do We Practice What We Preach? | Do we actually practice what we preach? This week Keith and Gerren turn the lens on themselves. Is the person on the show the same person they are in everyday life? Gerren's nephew recently told him "sometimes uncle, you're a real asshole" — and Gerren agreed. Keith talks about a poker buddy who asked about the podcast and how he immediately changed the subject rather than open up. They get into social concentric circles, honesty in a new relationship, the fear of being upfront anyway, and the honest admission that neither of them always lives up to what they ask listeners to do. To be continued next week. Key Topics:The show-self vs. real-life-self question, directness from live TV experience, honesty and vulnerability in new relationships, social concentric circles, and why bringing the show's openness into everyday spaces is harder than it sounds.

| 2/6/26 |  Emotional Awareness, Masculinity, and Learning to Pause | Episode Description In this episode of More in Common, Keith Richardson and Gerren Taylor are joined by Zach Amatore to explore the journey of emotional awareness and how masculinity is shaped by environment, leadership, and lived experience. Zach reflects on growing up in high-pressure, male-dominated spaces — from sports culture to family business — and how those environments influenced how emotion, anger, and authority were expressed. The conversation examines how men often confuse intensity with aggression, why emotional regulation is misunderstood as weakness, and how learning to pause can radically change relationships at work and at home. Throughout the episode, Zach connects his personal growth back to the emotional intelligence tools he learned through More in Common alongside Keith — emphasizing listening without fixing, managing tone, and creating safety in male relationships. Rather than rejecting masculinity, the discussion reframes it as something that evolves through awareness, accountability, and intentional practice. This episode is for anyone navigating leadership, fatherhood, relationships, or self-growth — especially men learning how to hold strength and emotional clarity at the same time.

| 1/30/26 |  Emotional Intelligence in Action: Leadership Beyond the Title | Episode Description In this episode of More in Common, Keith Richardson and Gerren Taylor sit down with Zach Amatore to explore what it actually looks like to practice emotional intelligence in real life—at work, in leadership, and in moments of pressure. Zach’s appearance on the show isn’t accidental. As he shares in the conversation, his approach to emotional regulation, listening, and supporting others was deeply shaped by the More in Common learning he experienced alongside Keith. That foundation—slowing down before reacting, staying present in hard moments, and choosing curiosity over control—runs through every part of this discussion. Together, they unpack why “staying calm” isn’t about suppressing emotion, but about creating space for clarity, trust, and better outcomes. From workplace dynamics to being heard without overpowering others, this episode explores how emotional mastery shows up not as perfection, but as practice. This conversation is for anyone navigating leadership, teamwork, or personal growth—and wondering how to respond more thoughtfully when it matters most.

| 1/9/26 |  Modern Masculinity: What does it mean? | In this episode of More In Common, hosts Gerren Taylor and Keith Richardson sit down with sociologist and systems-change strategist Nicholas Miller to explore the evolving meaning of masculinity in today’s world. Using public conversations around modern masculinity—including ideas popularized by Scott Galloway—as a starting point, the group examines how masculinity has always been shaped by economic systems, social expectations, and access to opportunity. They discuss why narratives around rugged individualism, dominance, and self-reliance no longer serve most men—and never truly served everyone equally. The conversation addresses the growing male loneliness crisis, the misdirection of resentment toward women and immigrants, and why redefining masculinity isn’t about blame—but about reconnection. Rather than offering a single definition, the episode makes space for multiple masculinities rooted in care, accountability, protection, and community. This episode launches a multi-part series exploring masculinity, identity, and what it means to belong in a rapidly changing world. Key Takeaways Masculinity is socially constructed, not biologically fixed There has never been one “correct” way to be a man Economic systems shape identity more than we admit Loneliness is a structural issue, not a personal failure Blame narratives distract from systemic causes Protection, care, and accountability are undervalued masculine traits Redefining masculinity is essential for healthier relationships and communities Chapter Timestamps 00:00 – Why Masculinity Is Having a Moment02:45 – What People Mean When They Say “Masculinity Is Broken”06:10 – Masculinity as a Social and Economic Construction10:55 – Rugged Individualism: Who It Served and Who It Didn’t15:30 – The Male Loneliness Epidemic19:40 – Why Resentment Gets Misplaced24:10 – Patriarchy, Feminism, and Misunderstanding Power28:50 – Multiple Masculinities Across Race and Class33:20 – Protection vs. Domination38:10 – Redefining Masculinity Through Connection42:30 – Why This Conversation Is Just Beginning About the Guest Nicholas Miller is a tenured sociology professor at Sacramento City College, founder of multiple workforce pipeline programs, and co-founder of nationally recognized initiatives supporting justice-impacted students.
