The New Man

Tripp Lanier has been doing this longer than almost anyone in the men’s podcast space. The New Man launched in 2007, which makes it ancient by podcast standards, and it’s still going strong at 289 episodes with a 4.6-star rating from over 600 reviews. The show’s tagline says it all: advice for men to align career, sex, relationships, and money. Tripp works as a men’s coach in his day job, and that experience shows in how he approaches conversations. He’s not interested in surface-level hustle talk or chest-thumping motivation. Instead, he digs into the stuff that actually keeps guys stuck -- perfectionism, people-pleasing, the fear of being seen as weak, and the tension between what you think you should want and what you actually want. Recent episodes have brought his wife Alyson into the mix as co-host, which adds an interesting dynamic when they tackle relationship topics together. Episodes typically run 30 to 60 minutes and lean conversational. Tripp has a calm, grounded delivery that feels more like a thoughtful conversation with a trusted friend than a performance. He asks the kind of questions that make you pause and reconsider your own assumptions. The show covers career fulfillment, sexual confidence, communication with partners, financial purpose, and that nagging feeling that you’re playing life too safe. If you’re a guy who has done reasonably well on paper but still feels like something fundamental is misaligned, Tripp has spent nearly two decades helping men sort through exactly that. He’s not flashy, he’s not loud, and he doesn’t promise overnight transformation. He just keeps showing up with honest, useful perspectives on what it takes to build a life you actually want to live.
