Most guys just need
an excuse.
They need the door open.
And I'm now at that place in my life where I really don't care much about how I'm perceived by well, that's not true.
I do care how I'm perceived, but not in the same way.
And so now I just like jump in with vulnerability and all that because somebody's got to start.
If we keep waiting for the other guy to start in order for us to feel safe, because we need to feel safe if we're going to have conversations with people in a vulnerable way.
So I take a risk.
And even though I don't know a man and the report, the rapport hasn't been built up to the point where I feel safe, I'm just willing to outsource that and just try to lean in with some vulnerable conversation.
And like I said, most of the time the guys will meet me where as long as I take the lead.
And I hope to continue to cultivate in them so they can go do that in their own lives, whether it's with their partner or with their kids.
kids or with their boss or with their employee, with another man, doesn't really matter.
Oh, it's so interesting you brought up that term.
So I'll first explain my version of the man box.
The man box is the box that we are painted into, not as soon as we come out of the womb, but pretty quickly after.
Parents will sometimes give the boys the fire trucks and give the girls the dolls.
And that's the beginning of the man box.
But where the man box ends up evolving into is I am how much money I have, my values per.
predicated on how many trophies, sport athletic trophies I have in my bedroom.
I am how many girls like me, all these inauthentic ways of valuing human beings.
