“We can role model that it is ok for men to be vulnerable, we can show our partners that, we can show our parents, that we can show our friends that, and we can kind of end that stigma.”

Coach Lee Povey passionately argues that showing vulnerability can be a powerful tool for growth, urging men to support each other in breaking free from outdated stereotypes. This episode isn't just a discussion; it's a call to action for men to embrace their true selves and foster a culture of mutual support and understanding.
