Jason Gaddis is a relationship coach, therapist, founder of Relationship School, author of Getting to Zero, and host of a relationships podcast. He has worked with thousands of people over 20 years helping men and women build stronger partnerships through conflict repair and communication skills.

Most men avoid conflict because they've set it up as an impossible choice: speak up and risk losing the relationship, or stay silent and betray yourself. Jason reveals what men are really defending when they get defensive (hint: it's not their position), why conflict avoidance destroys intimacy, and the exact framework for repairing disconnection after fights. This conversation challenges fairy tale thinking about relationships and shows how interpersonal skills are learnable for any man willing to get in the game.

Expect to learn why 45 percent of young men have never approached a woman in person, what defensiveness is really protecting you from, the getting to zero framework for conflict repair, how to know if your partner is actually healthy or just good at hiding problems, why you might be receiving way more feedback than you give and what to do about it, the difference between judgment and feedback in relationships, how to commit to learning conflict skills like you'd commit to any other skill, what interpersonal intelligence actually means and how to develop it, and much more.
