What if a simple text or handshake could change everything?
In this moving conversation, Kevin O’Brien unpacks the quiet crisis facing men today—loneliness, isolation, and despair—and the radically simple solution: a personal invitation. From his decades of leadership with Heroic Men and Catholic Men's Leadership Alliance, Kevin shares the life-changing power of “the tap”: Touch A Person. It’s not about preaching—it’s about showing up. Whether it’s inviting someone to a men’s conference, texting your kids a blessing, or praying for a friend, these small, intentional acts are saving lives.
Backed by data, rooted in faith, and filled with practical stories and insights, this episode explores how men can reclaim hope, brotherhood, and purpose. If you’ve ever wondered how to reach the men around you—or why so many are quietly suffering—this episode gives you both the “why” and the “how.”
