My Journey of Reclaiming Masculinity

Lately Iโ€™ve been traveling around doing a book tour for The Mask of Masculinity. I always like to do a Q&A with my audiences to learn more about them and help answer any questions that may not be in the book.

I recently recorded my talk in Los Angeles with an amazing group. They really dug deep and asked a lot of great questions, including a lot about my past.

My book can only fit so much information and was written to help others more than be a biography.

So I wanted to share with you this special talk. I really open up and practice what I preach. I talk about my father and open up about how he affected my life. I also share how Iโ€™m still learning, how I keep myself on track to keep my aggression in check, and much more, on Episode 569.
