Welcome to another episode of the Don’t Pick the Scab Podcast, where we dive deep into topics that help men over 40 navigate the aftermath of divorce. In this transformative episode, host David sits down with Joshua Rodriguez, founder of Foundations of the Liberated Man (FOTL), who is redefining what it means to be a man in today’s world.
Joshua shares his deeply personal journey of healing, growth, and unlearning toxic beliefs about masculinity. From growing up in the hyper-masculine culture of 1980s New York to using vulnerability as a tool for connection and empowerment, Joshua’s story is packed with eye-opening insights. 💡
Here’s what to expect in this episode:
✅ The role of vulnerability and community in healing after divorce.

Joshua also explains how his work in creating safe spaces for men of all backgrounds—straight, gay, bi, trans, and queer—has helped redefine masculinity in today’s world. Through powerful storytelling, he reveals the common fears and challenges men face and how they can reclaim their power to lead fulfilling, purpose-driven lives.
