what does it mean to be a man

In this special episode of the Mindcoolness podcast, I talk with Timothy Wenger (@themaneffect) about the concept of masculinity. He's a great guy with a great project (themaneffect.com), and although our conversation is all over the place because we had too many ideas to talk about, it will give you numerous impulses for thinking about his project's guiding question: What does it mean to be a man?

February 26, 2018 Dominic Reichl
