For us, this podcast and YouTube series isn’t just about talking—it’s about creating a space where men of all ages can reflect, grow, and navigate life with purpose and clarity.
Every episode feels like sitting around a fire with an old friend. Duey and Mark dive into the big stuff: how to be better men, fathers, partners, leaders, and friends. We explore topics like personal growth, emotional intelligence, resilience, relationships, and legacy. We balance it all with humor, vulnerability, and real, actionable insights you can take with you.
What makes The Elder Council so special for us is the dynamic between the two of us. Mark brings his background as an entrepreneur and business coach, and Duey draws from his 80,000+ hours as a therapist. Together, we approach life’s challenges from two very different perspectives, but with the same goal: to offer guidance, connection, and mentorship in a way that feels real and relatable.
This is about more than just advice. It’s about creating a community where men can reflect, embrace both their strengths and vulnerabilities, and move forward with intention. Whether you’re looking to deepen your relationships, lead with purpose, or simply pause to consider the life you’re building, We invite you to join us. Let’s grow together.
