Raised by a Broken Father, He Built a Brand to Save Men Like Him: Season 2 Episode 32

Your husband won't open up. Your son is watching Andrew Tate. And nobody taught either of them how to actually be a man.On this episode of Advice Unfiltered, Chris and Tony sit down with Ben Rose — founder of the men's clothing brand Copala — for an unfiltered conversation on healthy masculinity, in honor of Men's Mental Health Month.They get into why "masculinity" became a dirty word, why the manosphere (Andrew Tate, looksmaxxing, "clavicle-maxxing") is filling a void real fathers used to fill, and what actually separates a boy from a man: discipline, vulnerability, and accountability — not dominance.Ben, Chris, and Tony open up about growing up in broken homes, absent parents, and turning childhood pain into purpose. Tony shares the real story behind the Superman necklace he wears every day — tied to his kids and the darkest moment of his life. And Ben breaks down why he built Copala: American-made, Supima cotton, fair-wage, sustainable men's clothing meant to fight fast fashion and build real community — not just sell t-shirts.If you're raising sons, married to a man who won't talk, or just trying to understand the men in your life a little better — this one's for you.👕 Check out Copala: https://copala.com📱 Follow Ben Rose: @copalabybenrose🎙️ SUBSCRIBE for new episodes of Advice Unfiltered every week — raw, honest conversations on relationships, mental health, and becoming a better version of yourself.TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:34 What is "healthy masculinity"?6:06 Why young men are afraid to be themselves8:28 The manosphere, Andrew Tate & missing father figures12:22 Growing up in broken homes17:19 Ben's story: raised by his father, abandoned by his mother19:53 Inside Copala: American-made, Supima cotton, ethical sourcing23:53 Why struggle builds purpose33:00 The emotional connection to fitness45:13 The Superman necklace story52:39 How to handle negative self-talk1:02:14 The future of Copala: linen, retail, and a pop-up tour1:07:26 Where to find Copala + final thoughts#AdviceUnfiltered #HealthyMasculinity #Copala #MensMentalHealth #Fatherhood
