Growing up, what did you focus on more: mental intelligence, or emotional intelligence? For most men, the focus tends to be on IQ rather than EQ. Because of this, men tend to grow up struggling with becoming aware of all of their emotions + how to regulate them in a healthy way. This sparked our desire to have a conversation surrounding our experiences with emotional intelligence, what emotions we have struggled with personally, the concept of emotional manipulation, and some of the challenges men face with regulating certain emotions.
