this episode means a lot to me.
eoin murphy of sika strength and i discuss:
- fatherhood, modern masculinity, and some current issues younger boys are facing - he also gives some actual concrete parenting tips
- emotional availability / what he values in the people closest to him
- stories about weirdly aggressive DMs from dudes on social media / what it's like for him vs. what it's like for me + women
- his own training and how that's evolved (or hasn't) since becoming a father, what it's like working with a friend, and the origin story of sika strength (coming from a biochem background)
...and i also open up a little bit about my own personal struggles and the issues i carry into adulthood. he also gives me feedback on how i could have been a better athlete (because i specifically asked for it pre-interview, btw! it's solicited! lmao )
