The Vulnerable Man podcast is an ongoing examination of what it means to be a man, and how we as men want to define masculinity and manhood in the 21st century. The main theme centers around vulnerability and the relationship men have with it individually and collectively. It is not about an either/or mindset. Instead it seeks to come from an approach to better understand how we as men want to show up more powerfully and on purpose in the world. Through conversations with men from all walks of life sharing their experiences, stories, successes, and failures, along with personal observations and experiences from the host, Christopher Veal, it seeks to help each of us understand how leaning into greater vulnerability strengthens us and creates more connection with the people in our world.
