Community becomes more important than ideology when you feel completely alone. 
We’re joined by former skinhead turned feminist activist, Graham Finochio, to talk about the radicalization of young, isolated men, how the prison system fails men and how being called in to accountability and community can create radical acceptance and change. Orphaned at 14, Graham shares stories of his upbringing, his lack of support and community, his radicalization during homlessness and the program, Success Stories, that challenged his ideologies and changed his heart during his final days in prison. 

New episodes every Monday ?️ The video version of every episode and bonus features will always be available on the @wearemanenough YouTube channel ( https://youtube.com/WeAreManEnough ) and at https://ManEnough.com/podcast   
The Man Enough Podcast is produced by Wayfarer Studios and presented by Procter and Gamble, in partnership with Cadence13, an Audacy company.
