13 Minutes:
Why Every Man
Needs a Why.

Every 13 minutes, a man in the U.S. dies by suicide. But this isn't a podcast about death — it's about defying it. Raw stories of pain, power, purpose, and the road back to a why that actually matters.

Why This Show Exists

Meaning. Truth.
The road back to a why.

Inspired by Viktor Frankl's haunting question — "Why haven't you killed yourself?" — this isn't about despair. It's about meaning. It's about living.

Dr. B sits down with real men — entrepreneurs, veterans, creatives, husbands, artists, warriors — for honest stories of pain, power, purpose, and the road back to a why that actually matters.

We dig deep into how they lost their way. How they found it again. And what keeps them going when life tries to break them.

One man matters. You matter. Are you ready to live your why?
