Brant Hansen: The Strong Hand & Why Men Lose Joy | MTNPOD #175
About this episode
Brant Hansen discusses the challenges men face in finding joy and connection in their lives, sharing insights from his book and personal experiences.
Brant Hansen joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast for a raw, honest conversation about why so many men in their 40s and 50s feel lost, anxious, and joyless. He breaks down the performance-based mindset that worked in school and early career but eventually breaks down, the epidemic of isolation, and how the algorithm is dividing families and feeding anger. Brant shares powerful insights from his book Life Is Hard, God Is Good, Let’s Dance on what real joy actually is (trust, not feelings), why we were never meant to stay angry, and the “strong hand” analogy that changes how we face life. He also opens up about his difficult upbringing and how he still trusts God.
