Manned Up Conversations
Manned Up Conversations is a dynamic platform committed to fostering open, honest, and transformative discussions among men from all walks of life. Our mission is to challenge outdated notions of masculinity and provide a safe space where men can freely explore their emotions, experiences, and struggles without fear of judgment.
Through insightful content and interactive dialogue, Manned Up Conversations encourages personal growth, emotional intelligence, and meaningful change in the lives of men across Africa and beyond.
We envision a world where men break free from societal expectations, embracing vulnerability and emotional well-being as strengths rather than weaknesses. By promoting open conversations and a culture of mutual support, we empower men to lead more authentic, fulfilling lives—positively impacting their communities, relationships, and future generations.

Exploring The Masculine Archetype Challenge with Ruwan Meepagala
In episode 51, we take a deep dive into the world of the masculine archetypes with Ruwan Meepagala.
We unpack his journey into coaching, navigating the seemingly saturated coaching space, his learnings as a new father and how that impacts on his coaching conversations. Ruwan also shares how he ended up in a cult and highlights the good and potential dangers of heading down that path. Then we narrow in on his 21 day masculine archetype challenge where he unpacks the benefits of grounding, introspection and material accomplishment for men.
Ruwan Meepagala describes himself as someone who spent two enlightening (and dark) years in a matriarchal cult. A bit of his story has been covered by various outlets. But the really good stuff is in his book, which he is serializing.
Ruwan is also a father to a baby girl, husband to beautiful wife, plays way too much chess. (Challenge me on chess.com @RUWANDO). He holds a BJJ blue belt, a MMA & Muay Thai enthusiast and a (very) amateur furniture-maker.
