The Optimist
Introduction: Welcome To The Optimist, hosted by Jake Hurwitz
Men are struggling. And most of us are doing it silently.Welcome to The Optimist; a podcast for people who want to live bolder, deeper, and more emotionally connected lives. Hosted by Jake Hurwitz, this series is part confession, part conversation, and part rebellion against the two extremes of modern masculinity: the hyper-feminine “feel your feelings” camp and the toxic red pill chaos.There’s a third path.One where men can be grounded, vulnerable, funny, messy, ambitious, emotional, disciplined, and wild…all at once.

For the last time on The Easy Chair they discuss Hannah’s on-line and current old-school matchmaker dating life. It’s the sweetest, funniest, most self-aware episode ever.
