The Drift: How Good Men Disappear From Their Own Lives
November 2, 2026
Most men do not arrive in my office because something hurts. They arrive because someone who loves them made the appointment.
Larry Hagner, founder of The Dad Edge and author of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood, calls the slow erosion "the drift." It shows up in a man's body and his marriage long before it shows up in a lab result, and the healthcare system keeps meeting men at the crisis instead of before it.
We talk about where the drift starts, what it costs to wait, what forty Navy SEALs taught him about asking for help, and why the lone wolf is not the strong one.
Educational only, not medical advice.
