Breaking the Mold: A New Era for Men

Questions Men Ask

In a world where being a man is more complicated than ever, it's like navigating a maze where the walls keep shifting. Emotional intelligence, authentic masculinity, and finding our place without shame – these are just a few of the puzzles we aim to solve.

Today, we’re tackling what it means to be an authentic man in 2024 and why it’s crucial for men to break free from outdated norms. We'll talk about the struggles men face, the shifting dynamics between men and women, and how we can find a new, fulfilling way to show up in the world.

So, what’s changing in the landscape of masculinity? We’ve seen a seismic shift in how men are expected to show up in the world – from rigid, traditional roles to more emotionally open and inclusive ones. We're talking about everything from the pressures of the American Dream to why men’s mental health needs a front-and-center focus. And let's not shy away from the tough stuff, like why men's suicide rates are alarmingly higher than women’s or the lingering impact of pre-#MeToo dynamics.

We’re not here to offer one-size-fits-all solutions; we’re here to provoke thought, inspire change, and build a community.

If you’re ready to explore what it truly means to be an authentic man today, make sure to tune in to our first episode. Join us to question the old ways and carve a new path forward.

Specifically, this episode highlights the following themes:

• The evolving definition of masculinity
• The impact of cultural and parental influences on men
• Breaking free from outdated societal norms
