  “Pretty Girls Love Parker” — Why Men HATE His Dating Advice

  Sep 28, 20261h 19m

  Parker Lanosa joins Zach Cummings on The Journey Podcast for a conversation about faith, modern dating, masculinity, relationships, success, and the story behind the person people see online. Parker opens up about being diagnosed with neuroblastoma as a child, how his family leaned heavily on faith throughout his cancer journey, and how that experience helped shape his sense of purpose. They dive deep into modern relationships, including why some men are too available, whether “if he wanted to, he would” is actually true, why people run from commitment, and what men can do to become better partners. Parker also explains why he believes women are often attracted to the “bad boy,” why unresolved trauma can destroy healthy relationships, and how his sister’s experience in a toxic relationship influenced the dating content he creates.

  Your Partner Could Be Emotionally Cheating With AI

  Sep 21, 20261h 21m

  AI is changing dating, relationships, friendships, and even the way people deal with loneliness.. but how far is too far? In this episode of The Journey Podcast, Zach and John break down the rise of AI companionship, ChatGPT relationship advice, emotional cheating with AI, AI therapy, and people using artificial intelligence to replace real human connection. They also discuss AI-generated dating conversations, the future of Gen Z relationships, why more people are struggling to communicate face-to-face, and whether technology is making us emotionally weaker. The conversation eventually turns to accountability, victim mentality, male friendships, and why getting out into the real world still matters more than ever. Is AI simply an incredible tool, or are we slowly allowing it to replace the relationships that make us human?

  He Was 10 Days Away From The Love Island Finale... Then Producers Woke Him Up | Josh Goldy

  Aug 31, 20261h 30m

  Josh Goldy opens up about the devastating moment he was pulled aside on Love Island just days before the finale and learned that his sister, the person who secretly signed him up for the show, had passed away. We talk about grief and loss, overcoming trauma, heartbreak, betrayal, personal growth, and turning pain into purpose. Josh also shares how nearly losing his father and later being cheated on changed him as a man, along with his perspective on men’s mental health, vulnerability, modern dating, relationships, and dating in Miami. We get into why so many men suffer in silence, what men really want from a partner, and why adversity can become fuel for self-improvement. This is one of the most vulnerable conversations we’ve had on The Journey Podcast.
