In this episode, my brilliant and inspired guest is none other than Tait Arend. Tait is my business partner in “Men, This Way,” and my co-faciltator for the last 3 years in the men’s work I’ve been hosting for men all over the world. He and I together have stewarded around 50 men through our two immersive coaching programs, our year-long ELEVATE Men’s Coaching Experience, and our new live 6-month coaching experience, Elevate Your Relationship, in which we work with men committed to improving their intimate relationship experiences.
