What do the longest-living and most joyous people in the world have in common? They all share one common trait: a sense of community. When we have a tribe to lean on, it gives us a sense of belonging, connection, and worth outside of ourselves that can open up a wealth of possibilities for us.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru welcomes his Man Morning group back for a third episode. This time Dhru sits down with Antonio Neves, Mark Lebowitz, and Adam Cobb to talk about the life-changing force of community and how investing time, effort, and energy into your friendships can bring newfound joy and perspective into your career, marriage, and other relationships. 

Dhru and the guys also talk about heartbreaking losses in the entertainment industry and why we need to make checking in on our “strong friends” a priority. They also talk about the power of maintaining friendships while navigating life changes, new relationships, and moving farther away. Dhru, Antonio, Mark, and Adam are firm believers in open and honest conversation, an area where men tend to struggle the most, and a strong sense of community, brotherhood, or sisterhood can be an amazing way to get there.

Antonio Neves is an entrepreneur, award-winning journalist, and world-renowned speaker known for helping people get unstuck and confidently make their next move. He is the founder of the Man Morning newsletter, a free three-minute newsletter that provides growth-minded men with thoughtful insights and powerful questions to start their day. He’s also the bestselling author of Stop Living on Autopilot and host of The Antonio Neves Show podcast.

Mark Leibowitz is a director and photographer whose work has been commissioned by advertisers, brands, studios, and other media outlets worldwide. Mark fluidly works between the roles of photographer and director to create multi­-platform content. His commissions range from high-end visuals for studios and brands to campaigns of cultural movers and shakers. Mark captures unexpected moments, and his deep interest in real people and issues infuses the way he operates, with or without a camera in hand. Mark’s company works hard to minimize its impact on the planet while creating positive change.

Adam Cobb is a performance coach, speaker, nutritionist, and movement and mindset coach. Adam works with various high-performing people around the world, teaching them how to simplify movement and eating well so they can create more time, energy, and freedom to do the things they love. He believes leadership starts and ends with a healthy lifestyle led by design, that movement is the heartbeat of momentum, and that we all have access to endless energy. Adam is on a mission to share his vision of living life as if you have an extra day, a mindset he calls “8 Days A Week,” through the art of moving well, eating well, and thinking well daily.
