'It is okay for me not to be perfect. It is okay for me to reach out for support. And it okay for me to be vulnerable...At the same time it is okay for me to be magnificent. To show up brightly, with intent and integrity in this world.' 

James McDermott is joined by James Wong from A Band of Brothers, to talk about his work tackling young male disaffection, rites of passage, and growing towards healthy manhood.
