The ManKind Podcast
The ManKind Podcast is a space where modern masculinity gets redefined by real men doing real work.
In a world full of outdated blueprints and noisy stereotypes, hosts Brandon Clift and Boysen Hodgson unpack what it means to be a man today with humor, honesty, and heart.
This isn’t about telling you WHO to be. It’s about helping you pick up the pen and write your own story of manhood. Whether we’re breaking down leadership blind spots, sharing the messiness of personal growth, or talking to mission-driven authors and change-makers, this show offers tools, stories, and soulful conversations to help you show up as the man you're destined to become!
If you’re ready to stop performing and start becoming, tune in. We’re here for the messy, meaningful, and often hilarious journey of becoming the kind of man and human you actually want to be.

216 - From Shadow to Service: Max Klau on Leading with Courageous Wholeness

What if the path to powerful leadership doesn’t start with strategy, but with shadow?
In this week’s episode of the ManKind Podcast, Dr. Max Klau returns to explore the deep inner work necessary to grow authentic, servant-hearted leaders at scale. Drawing from decades of experience at City Year, the New Politics Leadership Academy, and now his newest venture—the Center for Courageous Wholeness—Max unpacks how confronting our inner fears, projections, and disconnections unlocks our ability to lead with integrity and purpose.
We discuss the roots of servant leadership, how unexamined values can limit even the most well-meaning service work, and why every leader must engage their shadow to show up fully in the world. With a balance of personal insight, proven frameworks, and spiritual grounding, Max offers a clear call: to change the world, we must first do the work within.
Whether you’re a seasoned changemaker or just waking up to your call to serve, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
Check out the upcoming workshop on July 23, 2025.
