Toxic masculinity online and the need for other male voices, with Joshua Houston

Listen Later

My guest today is Joshua Houston, podcaster, content creator and father of 2.

Joshua went viral with a post about the need to create a space for other male voices other than what we typically see out there today … there’s too many bros out there talking about what they think it means to be a man and not enough regular dudes talking about how to be a good partner and father.

And that is a lot of what our conversation is about - echo chambers, seeing things from other perspectives, and the balance between trying to be a provider and be present with your family.
