Breaking Bread: Accountability, Growth, and What Shapes Young Men — with Mike Nellis and Katie Phang
Breaking Bread with Mike Nellis and Katie Phang — Tuesdays 12PM ET

| |||||||||||||||
Hey folks,
Katie Phang—and I went live for another episode of Breaking Bread, and we got real. Not doomscrolling, not outrage bait—real life. Finding steadiness. Pocket-sized joy. The hard work of growth and accountability. Then we dug into young men, the GOP text dumps, and the Graham Platner mess. It’s honest, tense, and necessary.
[00:01:07] Checking in after a brutal stretch—why slowing down to breathe (and actually rest) might be the most radical act we’ve got.
[00:03:34] Flowers, black squirrels, and five-minute resets. Katie’s “Ansel Adams Fang” moment meets my power nap—what micro-rest teaches us about staying human in the chaos.
[00:06:47] Graham Platner’s tattoo and the Republican texts. What’s confirmed, why “boys will be boys” is a cop-out, and where growth stops being an excuse—especially mid-campaign.
[00:18:20] Standards and strategy. Can we hold our values, vet our candidates, and still win? The tension between urgency, caution, and what leadership should look like.
With urgency,
—Mike
