Today I am thrilled to share with you a full episode dedicated to masculinity and the changing face of gender roles in modern society. In a world where gender roles and definitions are becoming more fluid, knowing where you fit in and how to behave can be confusing for boys and young men. Which is why it is so critical to have positive role models. In today’s episode, we’ll explore what it means to be a man from a sociological, psychological, and personal perspective. We’ll also discuss the 5 key principles I learned from my father, all of which have guided me to become a good man and human being. Because, at the end of the day, no matter HOW you identify, it’s being a good person that’s important.
