It started as a conversation about courage — but it became a raw diagnosis of what’s broken in our culture. When Dr. May and Dr. Tim sat down with psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald, they expected a discussion on mental health. What unfolded was something far deeper: a fearless exploration of what happens when men stop leading, when women are told to reject their nature, and when medicine trades truth for comfort. Dr. McDonald doesn’t tiptoe around hard topics — he calls out the collapse of courage in every corner of society and invites us to do the one thing that still heals: act.
