Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker through long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, spies, CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, and performers. Even the occasional hacker, real-life pirate, cold case homicide investigator, or hostage negotiator.

Today on the show, a long overdue episode with my friend Connor Baton. He's the founder of Man Talks, a men's mental health company. He's a smart dude, we've been friends for years, had a lot of offline conversations that have been particularly insightful, and I wanted to share some of that with you all here as well. Today we explore the loneliness epidemic in men. Fatherless boys, the decline in dating and relationships, of course, with both genders, AI girlfriends, incels, pornbrain, and of course, my favorite subject recently, I guess, dicks.
