You've Got This - Becoming The Man You're Meant To Be
About the Podcast
This podcast is for men who know they’re meant for more.
More clarity.
More direction.
More from themselves.
Because from the outside, life might look “successful”—career, relationships, achievements—but something still feels off. You’re not broken… but you’re not fully aligned either. And you know it.
Hosted by Andy Nathan, this show explores what it really takes to live with integrity, purpose, and emotional strength.
Expect:
- Raw, honest conversations
- Stories of challenge, resilience, and transformation
- Practical tools for leading yourself and others
- And plenty of deep dives into masculine psychology (with a touch of nerdy passion)
We'll explore:
- Why so many men feel stuck, even when life “looks fine”
- What creates lasting change—not just temporary motivation
- How to stop sleepwalking through life and start living as The Architect
- How to raise your standards, take ownership, and lead with strength
Whether you're in the middle of a challenge or simply know you’re playing smaller than you should be—this podcast will meet you where you are and challenge you to become who you were meant to be.
About Andy
Andy Nathan is a writer, mentor, teacher and coach.
He didn’t get into this work in his twenties. It took hitting 40, feeling stuck in a draining career, struggling with relationships, and wondering why life felt so off-track.
And for years, therapy didn’t help. It felt surface-level or frustrating. Andy assumed maybe he just wasn’t “built” for this kind of work.
(Spoiler: he was. Just not the kind of work that was just talking and not rebuilding.)
After 25+ years in the corporate world, and over a decade in the wellbeing and transformation space, Andy now works with men ready to do the deeper work of identity shifts, emotional healing, self-mastery, and leadership. Andy also mentors coaches and facilitators and trains people to become coaches.
His coaching, group program (The Man Program), and men’s wilderness retreats help men slow down, reconnect, and take back the wheel—so they can stop drifting and start living with clarity, strength, and purpose.
This work isn’t just about change.
It’s about remembering who you are. And figuring that out!

You've Got This - Becoming The Man You're Meant To Be
The Inner Fire You Forgot You Had
Most men haven’t lost their strength - they’ve just forgotten the fire inside them.
The fire that made them handle hard things without resentment.
The fire that made them feel alive, grounded, and capable.
This episode is about remembering that fire…
And becoming the man who can do what he needs to do without resenting responsibility.
You’ll also hear about The 9 Masks of Adam, a 9-week journey to identify the mask running your life and remove it so you can finally lead as the man you were meant to be.
In this episode, Andy explores why so many high-functioning men feel resentful, tired, or emotionally disconnected - even when their lives “look fine” from the outside.
It isn’t about chores.
It isn’t about motivation.
It’s about the boy inside you still running parts of your adult life…
And the Unfathered Man Mask that shows up when that boy is never replaced by a deeper, internal father.
You’ll learn:
• Why the inner boy resists responsibility and seeks fairness
• Why men feel unseen or unappreciated for “doing the right things”
• What it means to live a life of meaning (and why meaning depends on the why, not the task)
• How Marcus Aurelius used inner discipline to rise above comfort
• The difference between aggression and true inner fire
• Why multiple truths inside you can be valid at the same time
• The warrior: the part of you that acts regardless of feeling
• The internal father: the calm, grounded, unshakeable inner guide
• The unfathered man mask: how men avoid responsibility, purpose, commitment, and themselves
• How to break the mask and grow into the man beneath it
• The Father’s Ledger: a simple nightly practice to stay accountable to the man you’re becoming
If you’ve been feeling stuck, resentful, overwhelmed, or like you’re capable of far more than you’re currently showing… you haven’t lost anything.
You’ve simply forgotten the fire you had - and it’s time to remember it.
