This Isn't About Suicide; It's About Thriving. My Manifesto for Men.

In this powerful solo episode of 13 Minutes (The Podcast), host B lays his soul bare to reveal the raw, personal mission behind his work with men. He starts with the tragic statistic that gives the podcast its name: every 13 minutes, a man in America takes his own life. For B, this isn't just a number, it's the story of his father, his hero, who he lost to suicide 18 years ago.

B shares his unapologetic views on accountability, why he refuses to "whitewash" his father's legacy, and how that loss fueled his life's purpose. He then reveals for the first time his own journey to the brink, standing on the 13th floor of a building in Israel, feeling worth more dead than alive after leaving a successful career as a rabbi.

This episode is a manifesto for life. It's about facing the inevitable "shatterings" of life, divorce, disease, death, despairand diving into the darkness to find the sparks of meaning. Learn why men isolate themselves, the difference between "buddies" and "brothers," and how finding your "Why" is the ultimate antidote to despair. This isn't just about surviving; it's a roadmap for thriving.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

(00:45) The story behind the podcast's name and B's father's suicide.

(04:36) Why true friendship for men means dropping the mask and creating a brave space.

(18:05) The shocking statistic: 80% of all suicides are male—one every 13 minutes.

(20:26) B's personal story of almost committing suicide in Israel and the "Why" that kept him alive.

(25:08) This isn't a podcast about suicide; it's a podcast about life and why you need "Why Awareness."

(30:39) The mission of Men's Peer Groups and how they create a tribe of brothers to hold men accountable.
