Degan Davis and Chris Garbutt dive deep into the shifting landscape of politics, identity, and humanity, and what it means for men's roles today. With the world rapidly changing, they discuss the need for agile responses, the importance of small gestures, and ways to support affected communities. From exploring the state of masculinity to brainstorming actions that can make a difference, this episode is a clarion call for meaningful engagement and courage. Tune in to join the conversation on how to rethink masculinity, fight for justice, and feel a little less alone in the chaos.
