In this episode Jamey, Liz and Andy discuss positive changes men can make to close the divide between “men” and “good men.” Andy shares his personal experiences performing masculinity and gifts our audience with a surprise spoken word performance from his tour opener! The Man Enough Podcast is delighted to have Andy join us for a few episodes of our second season. You can expect to see Andy in a number of upcoming episodes, alternating with Justin as he tours his new book, Boys Will Be Human. 
About Andy Grammer: 
Multi-platinum performer Andy Grammer is a gifted songwriter with a bent toward contemporary soul and pop and hits like"Keep Your Head Up" and "Fine by Me." A native of Los Angeles, Grammer is the son of children's music artist Red Grammer, and grew up in New York State. He later returned to California to earn his B.A. in music industry studies from California State University, Northridge. While attending school, Grammer began performing around Los Angeles and even spent time as a street performer to help publicize himself. Much of his career is dedicated to his mother who passed when he was 25. In 2015, Grammer returned with his sophomore album, Magazines or Novels, featuring the singles "Back Home" and "Honey, I'm Good," the latter of which reached number nine on the Billboard chart. (It also helped him become the first male pop artist since John Mayer to reach the Top Ten at adult pop radio on his first two singles.)

Key Quotes from the Episode: 

Do I need to be edgier, do I need to curse? What do I need to do to get this thing that I don’t want? 

If you want a star for the culture game, I am not your man…but far too often I start conversations apologizing for who I am. 

Do straight men even like women? 

What does it mean to be there in solidarity for someone? It’s to listen, and not only to listen, but believe.
