Why do so many men feel stuck in a loop of work, stress, and responsibility — and how can you break free?

In this episode of The Mankind Podcast, host Brandon Clift sits down with Evan LaPointe, founder of Core Sciences, to uncover the fascinating brain science behind purpose and fulfillment.

Evan has worked with companies like Google, Microsoft, and Adobe to help leaders and teams reconnect to what really matters — and today he brings that insight to you. You’ll learn why purpose isn’t just a lofty idea but a biological need, how your brain’s wiring keeps you chasing the wrong things, and the simple three-step process to start living with meaning again.

Whether you’re wrestling with male loneliness, burnout, or just feel like life is on autopilot, this episode gives you tools to reconnect with yourself, your relationships, and your impact.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• Why purpose is hardwired into your brain — and why ignoring it leaves you stressed and unfulfilled
• How the brain balances safety, reward, and purpose — and which one you’re stuck in
• The “purpose heatmap” exercise to see where you already matter
• Why shared purpose in men’s groups and workplaces creates powerful change
• How purpose-driven fulfillment is different — and better — than chasing rewards
