Episode: #39 Jack Donovan on redefining the way we see masculinity today

Who: Today's guest is Jack Donovan (starttheworld), who is Mr Masculinity.

From Jack's about page: "Jack Donovan is the author of the The Way of Men ? a straightforward, politically incorrect theory of masculinity that became an underground hit around the world ... Donovan has been blogging, writing and speaking about masculinity and tribalism since for over a decade ... He lives in the Pacific Northwest, where he leads a chapter of the infamous Wolves of Vinland  ? an esoteric tribe of Germanic pagans." I don't know if I need to say anything more as an intro!

In this interview we discuss masculinity, why it is not a dirty word and why we should undertake our own journey to become better men and more masculine men.
