Acoustic Guitarist Mark Kroos is a phenomenal musician, and a great example for men to follow
“Mark Kroos is one of the most intelligent musical forces of the new guitar generation.”
– Randall Williams
In this conversation with Mark Kroos on the Manlihood ManCast, we talk about his music, the challenges of life on the road, overcoming adversity, and more.
Double-Neck Guitarist
In 2011, Mark competed in Guitar Player Magazine’s International Guitar Superstar Competition in Nashville for host Larry Carlton and renowned judges Muriel Anderson, Reeves Gabrels and Carl Verheyen, taking 1st place out of 5 invited competitors and thousands of others who had submitted online.
“Mark Kroos plays with a sensitivity to the music and positive energy that is truly refreshing.”
Muriel Anderson
1989 International Fingerstyle Guitar Champion
Mark has since shared the stage with guitarists Mike Stern, Lee Ritenour, Phil Keaggy and Stanley Jordan among others during his past 8 years of touring through the US and Canada. He has also picked up full sponsorships with D’Addario Strings, Planet Waves Cables, Genz Benz Amplifiers, Ovation Guitars, Kopf Percussion and Kyser Capos.
Facing hardship “like a man”
In this episode of the Manlihood ManCast, one of the things that Mark talks about is the things he learned when covid shut down his ability to tour with his music. That experience deeply affected the way he processes things as a man.
I see a guy on the street, and I think, ‘that dude has his act together!’ But I’ve had a lot of really great moments over the past few years and realizing that, nobody has their act together. It feels really freeing and incredible to see that.
We try to appear hard, walking with our shoulder back, and chests out, and so much of this work over the past year has been about softening, and not taking myself so seriously. Because I really felt for a long time my guitar career was the most important thing in the world to me. Then I saw the world without my guitar career. The world was doing just fine.
No one goes into battle without a battle plan. Well, if they do go into battle without the plan, they are not the heroes we read about in the history books. They’re the ones who lose. Want to know how to develop manly skills? We start with a plan.

Men often struggle with mental health and overcoming past trauma
Men’s mental health is an issue that often gets ignored in our society. Men are expected to be tough, to be emotionally resilient, but no one is teaching men how to do that. Our Manlihood ManCast interview with Dr. John Delony gives men practical advice for working on our mindsets, dealing with our past, and building the connections and community we need to grow.
Bestselling author Dr. John Delony talks about mental health
Dr. John Delony is a national bestselling author, mental health and wellness
expert and host of The Dr. John Delony Show. He holds two PhDs – one in
Counselor Education and Supervision and another in Higher Education
Administration. Before joining Ramsey Solutions, John spent two decades working
as a senior leader at multiple universities, a professor and researcher, and crisis
responder. Now as a Ramsey Personality, he teaches people how to reclaim their
lives from the madness of the modern world.
Dr. John Delony talks about trauma in a way men can understand
Delony says that Trauma is not just experiencing a catastrophic event. It can be neglect, not being seen, or experiencing hard things alone. Big or small, trauma is cumulative.
Trauma is stored in our body. It’s not just a story from the past, but it’s the body’s physical reaction in the present to something that happened in the past. We get disconnected from our relationships, our spirits, and our bodies when trauma impacts us.
Trauma causes us to act in ways that are out of our character. It destroys the value of self, and we act in response to everything – which can oftentimes create more trauma.
