Listen "It’s unattainable, guys (A conversation with Jeff Perera)"
Episode Synopsis
What’s the vision of masculinity that you received as you were growing up? Odds are, it’s not actually attainable.In this episode, I chatted with a friend I made when I (admittedly a bit embarrassingly) played around with the audio app Clubhouse for a bit a few years back. Jeff Perera has been working on masculinity issues for over ten years. His analogy of the ‘ladder of masculinity’ is one of the best ways I’ve heard to describe what men in today’s world face (The guy is a master of stories and analogies).We explore his ladder, as well as the role shame plays in it. It’s a big one.How does this land for you? What ideas about masculinity come up for you as you listen?As always, I’d love to hear. Shoot me an email at [email protected]. I’d love to connect.Hey guys: sign up for Step Zero!If you’re a guy who isn’t quite ready to take the step of joining a men’s group or getting into coaching, this is the thing for you.📆 10 days📪 5 emails🕺 Your termsSome links for things mentioned in today’s episode:Higher Unlearning - Jeff’s website chock full of wonderful resources—from articles to videos to talks to podcasts.
