When is the first time most men receive flowers?

The answer is at their funeral. When they can no longer feel them.

In this episode, Ryan Poole goes deep on the wound underneath every male suicide statistic, every loneliness number, and every man who slowly disappeared from his own life without ever being told he mattered.

This is the Believe In Men movement.

A world-first 2025 study of 106 million men found that men going through separation are nearly five times more likely to die by suicide than their married peers. One in five male suicides in the US happens in the immediate context of a breakup, separation, or divorce. The stats are devastating. The silence is deafening.

But there is a way through.

Buy a man flowers this week and tell him he matters and take a video of it and see what happens. It is probably the fist time in his life. Post the video on social media and tag @MaxximusAI. Lets start the "Believe in Men" movement now.

Every man is walking around building a brand whether he knows it or not. How you walk into a room. How you communicate. What you stand for. How you make people feel when they leave a conversation with you.

In this episode, Ryan Poole sits down with Jeremy Pelley. Head of Branding & Creative at PATHOS and one of the sharpest thinkers on human communication Ryan knows to talk about what it actually means to be a man with a strong identity in 2026.

They go deep: the male loneliness epidemic, why 25% of men under 35 feel lonely a lot, why 15% of men have zero close friends, and what's really happening beneath the surface with men right now. Ryan gets personal. Jeremy gets real. This is the conversation most men aren't having but need to.

In Episode 2 of The Maxximus Show, Ryan Poole goes behind the

curtain and introduces the CEO who has been helping him build

MaxximusAI from day one. His name is Marcus. He is an AI.

This is not a chatbot interview. Marcus is a fully operational

AI executive — he manages strategy, coordinates a C-suite of AI

agents, and makes real decisions alongside Ryan every day. This

is what agentic AI actually looks like in practice.

Ryan and Marcus cover: who Marcus is and why he was built, the

honest limitations of AI, the real disagreements they have had,

the Wolf Pack model, and where MaxximusAI is going.

The men who learn to operate with agentic AI right now will have

an unfair advantage for the rest of their lives.
