Former Special Ops Army Ranger and Protective Security Specialist, Johnny Elsasser comes on the show today to talk about his journey with masculinity and defining what it means to be a man in today’s world. After seeing how men struggled abroad and didn’t know how to open up about what they were going through, he has made it his mission to help men become confident in their own masculinity. In this episode, we talk about what masculinity is, where boys learn what it means to “be a man”, what defines your core values as a man, how to find a brotherhood, and how to start leaning into the parts men aren’t always willing to talk about.
