About this listen

In this episode, Chris sits down with John Smith to unpack what it means to be a man today. They explore how masculinity is evolving ,cutting through the noise around “toxic masculinity” to focus on what healthy masculinity really looks like: responsibility, vulnerability, and purpose.

John shares personal stories about managing work stress, maintaining relationships, and the importance of physical and mental health. Together, they highlight how men can communicate better, build strong support networks, and know when to hold on or walk away from relationships.

This conversation is a reminder that masculinity isn’t about hiding emotions or fitting a mold, it’s about knowing yourself, growing continuously, and leading with integrity.
