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
Who Are You Still Proving Yourself To?
This one is for the men who are productive. Driven. Capable.
They get things done.
But when things slow down - when there’s no next task, no clear win, no immediate goal - something feels off.
In this episode, Andy explores The High Achiever: the man who learned early that worth comes from movement, performance, and progress. The man who looks successful on the outside, but feels restless, disconnected, or absent on the inside.
This isn’t an episode about burnout.
It’s about what happens when achievement becomes identity — and presence quietly disappears.
You’ll hear how high achievement often functions as a form of emotional avoidance, why stillness can feel uncomfortable or even threatening, and how this pattern shows up most clearly in relationships — where men are physically present but emotionally elsewhere.
The episode closes with a simple but confronting distinction:
Achievement is something you do.
Presence is something you are.
You don’t need to and shouldn't stop striving.
But you might need to stop running.
In this episode:
- Why high-achieving men struggle with presence
- How achievement became a substitute for self-worth
- The hidden relational cost of constant movement
- Why presence can’t be multitasked
- A powerful reframe for ambition, intimacy, and meaning
Reflection
Who are you still trying to prove yourself to?
If this episode landed, don’t rush to change anything.
Just notice where achievement has become a shield - and where doing has replaced being.
