We are rounding out the final two episodes for season 3 recap! In reviewing this season I put together the episodes; Won't Let You Relax, Pet Peeves, and Make a Better World, because as much as the original episodes may not have been male focused these are topic I think more men should take a second look at. Men have a greater responsibility and impact on things than they often realize or care to take ownership of. In this episode I hope to encourage all men to see how great their power of change is.
