Have You Cheated The Guy in the Glass? A Manifesto for Men.

In this deeply personal solo episode of 13 Minutes (The Podcast), host B shares the single most important poem he has ever read: "The Guy in the Glass." This poem is the key to understanding B's life's work and the haunting story at its core, the suicide of his father. B recounts in visceral detail how his father's final moments were spent dying by suffocation while staring at his own reflection in a mirror. This harrowing image has fueled B's 18-year journey to "take his father down from the rope" and serves as the central theme of his upcoming book of the same name.

This episode is a raw exploration of self-worth, accountability, and the lies men tell themselves. B discusses:

-His own journey from a ""superstar rabbi"" to the brink of suicide in Israel, where he felt worth more dead than alive.

-The secret history of the poem and its original focus on ""pelf"" (ill-gotten gains), and why men are 16x more likely to die by suicide over financial issues.

-The ""Rubik's Cube"" analogy for self-deceit and why you can't cheat the guy in the glass.

-Why he passionately believes ""cancel culture"" is the societal version of what his father did to himself.


This is more than a story of tragedy; it's a defiant call to action. It’s a mission to help every man look in the mirror and befriend, love, and respect the person staring back. It is the foundation of the 13 Minute Mission: to push back the devastating statistic of male suicide and help men choose life.
