The initiation into masculinity has changed over the years to a point where the experience of becoming a man and reaching adulthood is different from those times where men had to fight for it in a forced way. Currently, the initiation to masculinity goes far beyond puberty, being maturity a fundamental point. In this episode, I will share a powerful conversation with Rainier Wylde. It will be a combined episode where you will hear us jam, a Q&A from both: Rainier and myself.  In a podcast episode we dive into the experience of being male right now and what trips us up. We discuss how we experience loss and navigating out of that loss, how we look at myth and our greater lives. Men, this is for us and all that seek to understand us and our experience, press play and start listening to everything you haven't heard before about being a man.
