In this episode of 'Tell Me More', host CJ Quartlbaum engages with men's coach Harrison Orr to explore the themes of presence, emotional regulation, and the challenges faced by modern men. They discuss the importance of being present in relationships, the crisis of fulfillment among men, and the need for rites of passage. Harrison shares insights from his coaching journey, emphasizing the significance of health and wellness, and offers practical tips for men to improve their mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
Harrison Orr is a men’s coach, husband, father and co-founder of The Uncommon Man Project, where he helps high-performing dads break free from burnout, Nice Guy patterns, and nervous system overload. His mission is to help men reclaim their masculine edge—so they can lead with clarity, presence, and purpose in business, fatherhood, and marriage.
Drawing on his background in NLP, performance coaching, and nervous system regulation, Harrison guides men to stop people-pleasing and start leading from embodied strength, not pressure or approval. His work is direct, grounded, and designed to turn exhausted providers into powerful, present men.
