Chopping Wood
Chopping Wood is a podcast about emotional leadership, responsibility, and growth for men who want to do better, love better, and lead better. Hosted by psychotherapist and author Jack A. Daniels, it speaks directly to good men who know they have more work to do, as well as to women who want to understand men without sugarcoating or excuses. Each episode breaks down the psychology behind commitment, avoidance, resentment, masculinity, emotional safety, and modern relationships. The title symbolizes the daily, often uncomfortable inner work required to become a better man: taking responsibility, choosing consistency over intensity, and building emotional strength instead of hiding behind ego.
