If you’ve ever watched a movie like The Expendables, or even a UFC fight, you know that those are what society sees as the definition of masculinity.

But what is the other side of toughness? Is there a place for vulnerability and feelings as well?

That’s what I got to talk about with today’s guest on The School of Greatness.

Randy Couture is one of the toughest men on the  planet. He’s been wrestling and fighting for decades in the biggest arenas. His legendary status is all about being a man.

But it turns out he’s also one of the kindest, most compassionate, patient and vulnerable men I’ve ever met.

Since I love this topic, we dove deep in our interview and Randy shared many stories of what shaped him into the man he is today.

We discussed how he became a champion wrestler and fighter and how he transitioned that into an acting career.

And we got into how he managed his relationships and being a parent through it all.

If you aren’t sure if men can be vulnerable and strong, listen up in Episode 335 with Randy Couture.
