Executive Director Arnold Westphal on Greater than Zero Percent Podcast
Finding Aliveness: A Conversation with Breakthrough for Men’s Executive Director
On the Greater Than 0% Podcast, Executive Director Arnold Westphal shares the mission and heart behind Breakthrough for Men: “Men supporting men to uncover aliveness and lead more fulfilling lives.” Unlike programs that “fix” or “teach,” Breakthrough focuses on creating a space where men can share, listen, and learn together—building tools for authenticity, deeper relationships, and a stronger sense of purpose.
Arnold’s journey to this work began in his late forties, during a period of questioning and disconnection. Seeking meaning, he found the Breakthrough community in Monterey and discovered a powerful approach to personal growth: fostering connection with oneself and others.
Through experiential workshops and peer support, Breakthrough empowers men to embrace life with greater presence and vitality.
