In this episode of Art of Masculinity, Johnny and special guest Connor Beaton tackle the pressing issue of men's challenges and the importance of addressing them without negating others' experiences. Connor is the founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on men's wellness, success, and fulfillment. This episode dives into the complexities of men opening up, facing criticism, or being misunderstood. Exploring the weight of responsibility that men often carry, they emphasize the need for occasional responsibility-free time. The discussion also centers on the absence of initiation experiences for men in modern Western culture and its impact on their lives. Together, they advocate for men to understand their own value and power, not in competition with women, but as a means of self-empowerment and redefining masculinity.
