We wrap season 4 with a powerhouse episode that explores how simple acts of kindness can resonate in someone’s life for decades. We dive into the power of vulnerability and uncover how being present and truly listening can leave lasting impressions. We reflect on all the things we learned this season about how we can be better men in our relationships, as partners, as fathers and, most of all, how we can be better men to ourselves.

What we learned this Season 4 is that this level of growth isn’t always easy, and there’s work to do both spiritually and physically, but there’s incredible value in working through discomfort. So join us for an episode that reminds us how paying attention to the small details leads to huge opportunities for joy. It’s a great concept to share as we make our way through the Back 9.

We close out season four of The Back 9 with an episode that simply could not be more relevant and more important for our time. We visit with author, life coach and old friend Morgan Rich for a thought-provoking conversation on modern masculinity and what it means to be a healthy alpha male. We weigh the balancing act of how to be competitive and assertive with being emotionally grounded. We explore how men can move beyond outdated “tough guy” personas to embrace authenticity, vulnerability and self-awareness in order to discover our true strength within. It’s a conversation that shows us how to incorporate mindfulness into our actions, to improve relationships, to create more intimacy and connection and to be more present in every moment of our lives. So join us for a wonderful inquiry into what it means to be a healthy 21st century man, on this edition of the Back 9.

On this episode of The Back 9 we host a true virtuoso in Brad Gemeinhardt, Principal French Hornist at the Metropolitan Opera, for a truly introspective conversation about nurturing one’s dreams, making a commitment to one’s craft, and finding one’s true calling. Brad shares his remarkable journey, from discovering his passion and talent for the French horn at a young age, to the work he put in to conquer the fiercely competitive world of professional orchestras. Along the way, we discuss the similarities between elite artists and elite athletes, the importance of resilience, and the joys and challenges of raising children – and nourishing their dreams – from the perspective of a highly accomplished, completely dedicated performer. It’s a refreshing and insightful perspective on what it takes to pursue your passion, wherever it may lead, on this edition of the Back 9.
