What does it mean to be a man in the world today? More importantly, what does it mean to be human? Actor, director and author Justin Baldoni, prominent masculinity expert Liz Plank, and award-winning music producer & President of Wayfarer Studios Jamey Heath engage in honest and at times uncomfortable conversations with high profile and culture-leading guests.  Armed with candor and compassion, each episode covers how the messages of masculinity show up in relationships, body image, privilege, fatherhood, sex, and success. If you’re interested in learning in real time, deepening your connection with yourself and others, and being reminded that you are enough, this is the podcast for you.
