Emmanuel Acho: An Uncomfortable Conversation
The Man Enough Podcast
The Intentiond Impact Conversation
"It's interesting for me to hear the conversation, especially from you. You're also everybody's black friend," he says. "I've had some great intentions, but i've had some bad impact." 'The prize is freedom,' LZ Granderson adds.
What’s the reward for not calculating your every move? Emmanuel Acho, the Emmy-winning host of the popular series Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, NY Times best-selling author, and former NFL player, opens up about how his actions are so carefully planned that he feels more like a robot than a human. When the hosts challenge him, which Emmanuel admits he’s not used to, he embraces it with honesty and begins to realize that his logical plan doesn’t quite fit with his happiness plan. Emmanuel inspires us to reflect on who we want to be as he leans into the weight of the armor he’s wearing and wrestles in real-time with the rewards of taking it off.
