Leading Responsibly with Integrity & Purpose

This episode is now live, here is a blurb about the podcast that Thom guested on:

Men feel more lonely, lost and not useful in society than ever in history.

Men are more likely to be romantically uninvolved, sexually dormant and friendless.

Only 40% of men have higher education and educated women don’t date uneducated men.

Males are not attaching to school, work or women.

What it is to be a man appears lost.

‘What is Manly?’ host Damian Andrews searches for the framework to be Manly.

"There was an anger that came out and frankly, it was very scary being in that room at that time, as a man."

Trez Ibrahim and Thom Dennis come together to discuss some of the challenges that men and women experience in the workplace. These are influenced by many distinctions such as upbringing, social standing, nationality and age.
