We are dancing now! As we fight for gender equality and racial equality and pay equality and all the equalities, we have to be sure we're not unequality-ing anyone in the process. As we're seeking our own individual full expression, we need to be sure we're allowing full expression in others, and that may be expression that's different than ours and we misunderstand. This can cause conflict, and huge internal and interpersonal issues which is what today's guest Karl Lashkari (https://karllashkari.com/) is seeking to remedy in men. Men's excellence and leadership consultant, he is creating communities (https://menofmastery.us/) where men can explore full expression. This episode is jammed with fascinating insights so please listen with an open mind and listen to the whole episode, because there are some amazing nuggets at the end tie the whole conversation together.
