Why Every Man Needs A WHY
THE MPG PODCAST: 13 MINUTES—WHY EVERY MAN NEEDS A WHY
Men’s Peer Groups exists to bring men together in real, honest, circles of support—but it’s about more than just meetings.
It’s about just spreading a message that’s urgent, bold, and life-saving.
Every 13 minutes, a man in the U.S. dies by suicide.
That’s the brutal truth behind our podcast: 13 Minutes: Why Every Man Needs A Why.
But this isn’t a podcast about death—it’s about defying it.
Hosted by Dr. Baruch “B” HaLevi—Logotherapist, Men’s Coach, and Co-Founder of Men’s Peer Groups—this show dives deep into the lives of men who’ve faced the darkness and come out the other side with purpose, passion, and a why that pulls them forward.
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.
We explore raw, real stories of resilience, healing, and transformation—because every 13 minutes, another man is lost.
But if we can push that number—just one minute further…
If we can help even one man rediscover his why—
That’s a life worth saving. That’s a mission fulfilled.
One Man Matters.
You Matter.
Are you ready to live your why?
Rediscover Meaning. Reclaim Purpose. Defy Despair.
