Why are so many young men turning to the internet for answers? For a lot of guys, the search starts with something simple. A question about success. A question about relationships. A question about who they’re supposed to be. But it doesn’t take long before that search leads them into something bigger. The manosphere. A world of content that promises clarity, confidence, and control. But often comes with a very different cost. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with Dr. Paul Sharp, a researcher focused on men’s health and identity, to break down what’s really happening. They talk about why so many men feel lost right now. The role of social media algorithms in shaping beliefs. And why this content is spreading faster than ever. Because the reality is, most men aren’t looking for extremes. They’re looking for connection. They’re looking for belonging. They’re looking for answers. And when they don’t find that in real life, they go online. This conversation explores what draws men in, what keeps them there, and what we can do differently. Because this isn’t just about the internet. It’s about identity. It’s about community. It’s about what it means to be a man today.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why the manosphere is growing and who it’s reaching How algorithms amplify extreme content over time What young men are really searching for online The impact of isolation and lack of connection Why traditional ideas of masculinity are being challenged How real-world relationships can counter online influence Simple ways to build stronger, more meaningful connections Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/   Follow Dr. Paul Sharp Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/5rSzbqlPjESA63g75f1xgl    Website - https://www.unsw.edu.au/staff/paul-sharp  Follow Canadian Men’s Health Foundation Website - https://menshealthfoundation.ca/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/menshealthfdn/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/menshealthfoundation Follow Mike Cameron Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikecameron.ca/ Youtube - https://youtube.com/mikecameronspeaks  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mikedavidcameron/ X - Mike Cameron (@axiommike) / X  LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/mikecameronWebsite - https://mikecameron.ca/TedX Talk - https://www.ted.com/talks/mike_cameron_redefining_badass_the_way_we_think_about_strong_is_wrong   Follow Trevor Botkin Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gsnscreative Muster Point IG - https://www.instagram.com/the_musterpoint Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/gsnscreative LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-botkin-869ab5143/ Support Men & Their Familes: https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
