In this episode, host Jim Schneider and his guest, MenLiving President Shaun Emerson, explore the evolving concepts of masculinity and emotional expression. The episode explores challenging traditional ideas of stoicism and isolation and emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, authenticity, and genuine connections among men. The discussion highlights how societal pressures and cultural constructs impact men’s mental health and their roles in society.
Topics also include the intersection of politics and gender roles, and initiatives like MenLiving's 'The Bridge,' which aims to provide healthier role models for young men.
