The Purpose Mastermind: Helping Leaders Get Unstuck and Live with Meaning in Work, Marriage, and Parenting

In this episode Mark sits down for a conversation with two of his friends. Mark was spending the morning with Jerry Ramsey and Jeff Jenkins. After a round of disc golf and lunch, they decided to record a conversation for men. 

Why is it so hard for men to talk about weakness?

1. It feels like nobody cares.
2. It's hard to put words to how you feel. 
3. It seems that people will see you as your problem...not see you for who you are.
