Zack Alexander: Child Sexual Abuse Victim to Spiritual Awakening
On The Next Man Up, host Coral Osborne interviews spiritual and leadership mentor Zack Alexander about modern masculinity, trauma integration, and resisting performative “guru” culture. Zack shares his shift from atheist law-school scholarship student to somatic and spiritual practitioner after recovering repressed memories of child sexual abuse by a parent, describing somatic memory, parts work, somatic experiencing, and the challenge of distinguishing spiritual awakening from mental instability. They discuss misdiagnosis and pathologizing in mental health, the harms of pedestalization and forced self-disclosure in coaching spaces, and the need for boundaries. Zack explains his political engagement after October 7, dialogues with Palestinians and Israelis, criticism of Trump idolization as cult-like and tied to father wounds, and his influences (Mandela, Lincoln). He notes men need permission to meet pain, grief, and values, and he plans to travel to Palestine.EPISODE THEMES📝📌 Healing Child Sexual Abuse📌 Politicians & The Father Wound📌 Masculine Role Models📌 Leading Without Pedestals📌 Integrated Spirituality EXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/podCONNECT WITH ZACK 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamzackalexander/CONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne

Mikey Wilson: Emotional Regulation & Masculine Containment
In this episode of The Next Man Up, host Coral Osborne sits down with longtime friend and men's coach Mikey Wilson for an honest conversation about masculinity, self-worth, emotional regulation, relationships, and the deeper wounds that shape men's lives. Mikey opens up about his years chasing success, status, money, and women for external validation, and how failed businesses, heartbreak, and an identity collapse ultimately led him into therapy and men's work. He shares how uncovering his mother wound, confronting the belief that he wasn't enough, and committing to 100 days without dating or sex helped him break old patterns and discover a deeper sense of self-worth.Together, they explore attachment wounds, anxiety, nervous system regulation, breathwork, meditation, journaling, dopamine-driven distractions, and why emotional mastery is essential to healthy masculinity. They also unpack the importance of male initiation and brotherhood, masculine and feminine polarity, emotional safety in relationships, modern dating challenges, and the invisible pressures men carry. What unfolds is part personal transformation story, part men's work masterclass, and part honest exploration of what it takes to stop seeking validation, develop emotional resilience, and build more conscious, fulfilling relationships.EPISODE THEMES📝📌 Breathwork, Meditation, and Nervous System Regulation📌 Understanding the Differences Between Men and Women📌 The Feminine Cleanse 📌 The Mother Wound, Attachment Patterns, and Unavailable Love📌 Masculine and Feminine Polarity, Safety, and AttractionEXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/podCONNECT WITH MIKEY 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsmikeyawilsonOthership Breathwork App: https://www.othership.us/appCONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne

Dave Asprey: Biohacking, Kink, BDSM & Semen Retention
On this episode of The Next Man Up, Dave Asprey and Coral discuss Taoist longevity teachings on ejaculation frequency and orgasm, arguing orgasms benefit men but frequent ejaculation can reduce energy and life satisfaction via testosterone drops and prolactin rises. He describes tracking sex/ejaculation for a year, learning techniques for non-ejaculatory orgasm, and framing “conscious sex” as attunement and partner-focused surrender. The conversation links kink/BDSM and “brief intentional conscious exposure to pain” to dopamine sensitivity and trauma resetting, referencing Stan Grof’s birth-trauma model and parallels with neurofeedback and psychedelics. They discuss ego as survival imperatives, intuition and safety, yoni massage, finding ethical partners, and addressing sexual shame via therapy/EMDR, his “reset process,” and supportive partners or sex workers.EPISODE THEMES📝📌 Biohacking through sex📌 Semen Retention Science📌 The Importance of Pain📌 Yoni Massage📌 Kink & BDSMEXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/podCONNECT WITH DAVE 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.aspreyCONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne

Rick Andstrom: From Navy SEAL to Healing, Psychedelics, and Performance
On The Next Man Up, Coral Osborne interviews her friend Rick Andstrom about masculinity, trauma, and healing. Rick introduces himself as a dad and retired Navy SEAL (25 years in the Navy, 20 as a SEAL), describing post-military work including facilitating psychedelic-assisted therapy, time in Ukraine, and founding Mercury Human Performance, a “human performance lab” blending synthetic shooting, fitness, and wellness practices. He recounts a difficult childhood, what drew him to SEALs, multiple medical washouts from BUD/S, and how mindfulness training helped him succeed. Rick discusses the psychological and neurological toll of war, repetitive blast injury, taboo around mental health care, anger, suicidality, and losing friends to suicide. He explains how MERT/TMS led him to psilocybin, then VETS and a supervised ibogaine program in Mexico, including insights about his life, addiction, and reconciliation with his mother. They emphasize integration, meditation, non-judgmental awareness, and uncertainty in intimacy, and Coral shares how Rick facilitated psychedelic sessions for her and her family, leading to greater honesty, acceptance, and connection.EPISODE THEMES📝📌 Healing the Mother Wound📌 Mindfulness Through Pain📌 War Trauma Invisible Wounds📌 Nonjudgment and Nonduality📌 Psychedelics and Spiritual BypassingEXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/podCONNECT WITH RICK 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rick_andstrom/CONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne

19 - Garrain Asé: Radical Truth, Inner-Child Healing, and Rebuilding Intimacy
Coral Osborne of The Next Man Up interviews personal development coach and speaker Garrain Asé about identity as something fluid, creating spaces where “the child inside the adult is happy,” and how radical vulnerability became his life’s purpose. Garrain shares his hero’s-journey background - his father’s murder at 12, feeling racially in-between, juvenile detention and prison, over two years of homelessness, and $250,000 debt, before committing to personal development, repeatedly reading The Power of Positive Thinking, and publicly confessing hidden truths online, which he says led to messages from suicidal people and eventually to bestselling books, global speaking, and financial success. They discuss why humans crave “real,” how unspoken resentments explode in relationships, and how his separation with his wife led to deeper intimacy through accountability and truth, including co-parenting strategies to maintain a unified signal for their children. Garrain offers practices for shifting mindset through action, community, meditation, and sensory exercises to build intuition, and outlines current projects: an album (A Signal of Truth), Tribe Mind mastermind, and an Austin event (The Magical Unlock), plus his name change from Jones to Asé.EPISODE THEMES📝📌 The Power of Positive Thinking📌 How To Reverse The Aging Process📌 Male Intuition📌 Cultivating Presence 📌 Saving Your Marriage EXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/podCONNECT WITH GARRAIN 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/garrainaseThe Magical Unlock: https://go.artistpower.com/explore-magical-unlock-day-1?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bioCONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne

18 - David Sutcliffe: From Hollywood to Dark Night of The Soul
In this episode of The Next Man Up, Coral Osborne interviews David Sutcliffe, a former actor (Rory’s dad on Gilmore Girls) who transitioned in his late 40s/50 to become a core energetics practitioner, describing the modality’s somatic, psychospiritual roots and how group work helped him access rage, grief, and deeper connection. They discuss shadow integration, sexuality as a portal to unconscious material, and the importance of boundaries, proper qualifications, and humility for facilitators amid performative social-media “authenticity.” Sutcliffe explains why he interviews and “humanizes” figures like Andrew Tate, arguing society needs provocateurs to expose distortions, and shares his nonjudgmental approach and impressions of Tate. The conversation explores leadership, tolerating being misunderstood, spiritual acceptance of light and dark, partnership dynamics, men’s integrity and “frame,” women’s projections, and how mothering in relationships functions as control.

17 - Stirling Cooper: Situationships, and What Makes Men Commit
Stirling Cooper returns to The Next Man Up with Coral Osborne to discuss modern dating, commitment, and intimacy. Stirling explains how men often sort women into “wifey,” “situationship,” or “secret” categories, noting a man’s readiness to commit depends on whether his “door” is open, often tied to financial stability and life stage. They explore how women can move between categories via accumulated green/red flags, and argue men primarily want peace, appreciation, respect (especially in public), and to feel useful, rather than drama or “challenges.” They critique waiting too long to define intentions, suggest asking direct questions before sex, and discuss sexual chemistry, teasing/anticipation, and enthusiasm as key to desirability. They cover social proof, status dynamics, “what do you bring to the table,” vulnerability vs trauma dumping, and announce Sterling’s upcoming guides for women, including a blowjob guide and “Wifey Formula Decoded.”EPISODE THEMES📝📌 Teaching Bedroom Performance📌 Optimal Courtship Formula📌 Secure vs Anxious Women📌 Cuckold Fetish Theory📌 The Art of TeasingEXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastCONNECT WITH STIRLING 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stirlingcooperCONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne

16 - King Noire: Fetish, Fantasy & Non-Monogamy
On The Next Man Up, Coral interviews adult performer, activist, artist, and master fetish trainer King Noire, co-founder of Royal Fetish Films with Jet Setting Jasmine. King recounts being kicked out at 17, homelessness, and entering adult work through paid shoots and underground New York BDSM/swinger scenes, learning kink hands-on and emphasizing consent and safety. He discusses fetish exploration, shame, fantasy vs. reality, and how trauma shifted his boundaries after being beaten by police while restrained. King explains Royal Fetish’s mission to create better-produced work and avoid fetishization, rejects race play, and names off-limits content like age play involving minors and incest/step themes. He describes his non-monogamous relationship with Jasmine, co-parenting with age-appropriate sex-positive communication, and current projects including his album “Holistic Medicine,” new scenes, and a 10-year fetish-quiz data study unveiling desires among Black and brown participants.EPISODE THEMES📝📌 Why Sex Work Matters📌 Madonna Whore Healing📌 Raising Sex Positive Kids📌 Non Monogamy Done Right📌 What Counts as a FetishEXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/podCONNECT WITH KING NOIRE 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealkingnoireSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5BBL5TC5T4JpEa46ccWZGp?si=3M6_J5caTQaIxtu95JRiPwApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/sellinit-celibate/6776832505?i=6776832506YouTube: https://youtu.be/TgCGsRpFzPk?is=imMco40Wa9uDH_-sWebsite: https://www.kingnoire.com/CONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne
