For too many men, pain is buried behind silence, stoicism, or the belief they must “push through” alone. In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, entrepreneur, musician, and spoken word artist DXTR Spits shares how the How Men Cry movement is creating safe spaces for men to tell their stories, embrace vulnerability, and begin healing. Drawing on his own journey, he explores how partnership values—connection, compassion, and shared humanity—can dismantle harmful narratives about masculinity and help us all build a more empathetic world.
