I’m sharing one of the most horrifying blind spots I’ve had as a marketing coach with you this week.

This blind spot is that visibility, authenticity, and the ability to command authority are not applied the same way to all people. They are intersectional.

I’ve invited three unicorns to the podcast.

As straight, cis-gender men who are deeply thoughtful, aware, and constantly working to dismantle the unhelpful systems we live in, they are a vanishing rare breed.

Israel Smith, AmarAtma Khalsa, and Pete Sibley and I have a conversation about the power dynamics in the world, why the patriarchy is just as harmful to straight, cis-gender men, and how these men are paving the way for non-toxic masculinity through their work.
