The Heart-led Man
Welcome to The Heart-Led Man - a show dedicated to men who want more, from their performance, their life, and themselves.
Hosted by Evan Spargo, ICF Master Certified Coach and former international athlete, we explore men's psychology, health and wellbeing, high performance, leadership, mindset, neuroscience, masculine development, and what it means to live deeply as a man in today's world.
Honest conversations, raw insights, tools and perspectives that actually move men, and the stories of those who have walked through the fire and come out the other side transformed.
This is for any man who refuses to settle, who knows there is another level available to him and is ready to find out what that looks like.
Wellbeing. Deeper Living. Better Performance.
