Christopher Veal's journey to redefine masculinity had an unexpected twist. From conforming to hyper-masculine environments in the Marine Corps and construction to exploring vulnerability and emotional expression through his podcast, he realized the need for a wider discussion on evolving masculinity. This spurred him to write his book, The Whole Man, challenging societal norms and encouraging a new, healthier definition of masculinity. But what was the unexpected twist? How did Christopher's journey lead him to redefine himself and connect with others in a deeper way? Read on to discover the surprising outcome of his exploration.

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Explore the transformative power of vulnerability and a new definition of masculinity.
  • Realize how a strong and supportive community can propel you toward personal and professional success.
  • Break free from traditional views on masculinity and reap the rewards of open emotional expression.
  • Master essential self-care and mental health practices for lasting achievement and well-being.
  • Unlock the potential of authentic connections through emotional vulnerability and insight.

Christopher works deliberately each day to live into his purpose of creating authentic connections. He knows that some days he does better than others at leaning into being vulnerable and aims to improve with every interaction. 

In his life, he’s worn many hats: father, executive coach, Marine Corps officer, TEDx speaker, organizational development professional, facilitator, traveler, keynote speaker, podcast host, student of life, music lover, and explorer. He is excited to finally be adding Author to that list with the publishing of The Whole Man: Evolving Masculinity, which is the latest iteration of his quest to destigmatize the word ‘vulnerability’ for men. 

When he’s not busy with these other pursuits, he loves spending time with his amazing daughter, listening to music, playing piano and (a little) guitar, mountain biking, riding his motorcycle and is somewhat successfully training their Boxer, Apollo.
