The Maxximus Show

Every man is walking around building a brand whether he knows it or not. How you walk into a room. How you communicate. What you stand for. How you make people feel when they leave a conversation with you.

In this episode, Ryan Poole sits down with Jeremy Pelley.  Head of Branding & Creative at PATHOS and one of the sharpest thinkers on human communication Ryan knows  to talk about what it actually means to be a man with a strong identity in 2026.

They go deep: the male loneliness epidemic, why 25% of men under 35 feel lonely a lot, why 15% of men have zero close friends, and what's really happening beneath the surface with men right now. Ryan gets personal. Jeremy gets real. This is the conversation most men aren't having but need to.

What is The Maxximus Show?

The host Ryan Poole built an AI coaching platform to help men become who they were always meant to be. This is what that sounds like.

The Maxximus Show is hosted by Ryan Poole founder of Maxximus, the AI-powered men's coaching platform. Each episode, Ryan sits down with coaches, founders, athletes, and experts from the worlds of dating, relationships, and masculine development — plus Maxximus (the AI coach of the platform) and Marcus (the AI CEO that helps build Maxximus) for conversations you won't hear anywhere else.

Ryan spent 27 years in real estate sales, has been on 1,000 first dates with women from over 60 countries, raised a son as a single father, and spent decades studying what separates the men who thrive from the men who drift. Out of that came Maxximus AI and the Maxximus Method — built on stoic philosophy, evolutionary psychology, and real-world coaching.

Every episode covers what men actually need to hear:
— Dating and attraction: confidence, communication, and building something real
— Masculine identity: leadership, fatherhood, brotherhood, and purpose
— Life performance: focus, fitness, and financial clarity
— The mindset: stoic philosophy meets modern psychology meets lived experience
