Life’s most significant transitions can leave you questioning who you are beyond your career or accomplishments.
What if the next step wasn’t about doing more, but about discovering your “why”?
In this episode, Tom Fleishel speaks with Kevin Kertes, founder of advanceMEN Coaching, about guiding men through personal transitions with clarity, accountability, and emotional strength. Kevin shares his journey from a decades-long music industry career to coaching men toward purposeful living, the hidden challenges men face, and the tools for building a more intentional life.
Kevin discusses:
● Leaving a high-profile music industry role to create a coaching practice focused on men’s growth and purpose
● How life stages from marriage to parenthood to retirement can cause men to feel uncertain about their next step
● The evolving definition of masculinity, shifting from stoicism toward vulnerability, compassion, and accountability
● The importance of emotional intelligence and truly listening to others without rushing to respond
● Practical tools like journaling, quiet reflection, and clarifying your “why” to move forward with confidence and direction
● And more!
