The Vulnerable Man

In this episode I am sharing my thoughts from my experience this past week for a powerful fundraising event put on by In the Cellar.

It was a great reminder about the power of community, and how a group of committed individuals can have a tremendous impact on their communities and beyond.

Dave is an author, an entrepreneur, a builder of custom luxury homes, and dare I say somewhat of a philosopher.

In our conversation we discuss choosing to be vulnerable, vulnerability in relationships, trust, repair in relationships, intention and impact, and reconnecting to ourselves, plus a fair bit more.

Jonathan is a marketer, a writer, a community organizer, a men's work advocate, and someone who has strong opinions about cream cheese.

In this conversation we discuss vulnerability with groups versus with individuals, relationships and being imperfect, his work around men walking and men talking, creating change, the concept of American manhood, and internal versus external measures of masculinity.

Joanna is a wife and mother, an executive coach, and someone committed to developing, growing, and seeing the whole human.

We talk about mental health and stigma, self-care and self-compassion, asking for help, boundaries, and psychological safety. We could have continued this conversation for quite some time, so I hope you enjoy listening in.

George is a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, a husband and father of two, a consultant to credit unions, a cross-country cyclist, a man living the dream on his terms, and someone I'm looking forward to sitting down and having a beer with one day.

Our conversation wanders to lots of places, including leveraging the phrase "I don't know" as a consultant, how vulnerability shows up in his personal life, his two cross-country cycling trips, the generosity of people, and how he found his way to working with credit unions.
