Malestrum: Where Generations Meet

Welcome to Malestrum, a space born from the simple question: What does it mean to be a man today? Across generational lines—from Boomers who remember rotary phones to Gen Z who grew up on smartphones—our experiences shape how we define strength, vulnerability, and connection. Here at Malestrum, father and son (that’s Barry and Griffin) come together in candid conversation, exploring everything from mental health and relationships to ambition and purpose.

Each week, you’ll find:

  1. Curated insights—we’ll surface the latest research, news stories, and social posts that shine a light on today’s male experience.
  2. Original dialogue—real talk between two generations, unfiltered takes that bridge the gap.
  3. Diverse perspectives—we’ll sit down not only with Gen Z males and females, but also counselors and other experts, plus mothers and fathers, to get a 360° view.

Whether you’re here to learn, challenge your assumptions, or simply listen in on an honest chat, you’re in the right place. Bookmark Malestrum.com, subscribe to our newsletter, and get ready for our first episode—coming this Sunday.
