Thank you. Yeah, I love talking about the origin story of the Good Men Project. So we really started... It was when I had met a venture capitalist by the name of Tom Matlack, and he was putting together a book of men's stories. And at the time, I was doing social media, I had done marketing, advertising, and so he wanted some help promoting the book, getting him on Facebook.

And so he was telling me about the book, and he said, It was all stories of men and a defining moment in their lives. And he said what was so interesting was that when he asked men about a defining moment in their lives, they all said some variation of the same thing, which was, I thought I knew what it meant to be a man. I thought I knew what it meant to be good.

And I realized I didn't know either of them.

And I was so blown away by that insight. My first thought was, oh, men have problems too, which of course I should have known. But sometimes we get so inside our heads that nobody else is going through these struggles, and especially men who don't tend to talk about them because of society's pressures to not do that. you know, I helped Tom Matlack launch the book.

We did the regular book tour, but then at the end of it, we were like, how could we make this even bigger? How can we really spark a conversation about how men's roles are changing today? Like how it just seems like change is happening so fast that we can't keep up with it.

And how can we get inside the angst that men are going through, whether it's for dating or other relationships or parenting or just the pressures of the world today? So that was when we came up with this idea to start this online platform to get men to contribute their stories, to really get
