#435 - The Power of Vulnerability with Mike Cameron

What does it take to be a real man? Is it just brute strength? Is it the ability to hold oneself together all the time? Or is it being aggressive? If you answered yes to all those, you might be in for a surprise.

Mike Cameron is passionate about domestic violence prevention and redefining the word “badass”. We promise you, this episode is going to take your emotions to places, so make sure you stay tuned.
