"A Conversation on Manhood w/ Jay Julien: Male-Male Platonic Intimacy, Men's Healing Groups, and More." [E150]

Brian's World

On today's episode, we welcome back Jay Julien, co-Founder of the men's group My Brother's Keeper. We explore a different side of manhood. One that strengthens the axis between manhood and emotion. The world around us is painted with many colors but traditionally, manhood has been limited to black & white. For centuries, it has created men who are out of touch with what they are feeling, often times searching for themselves in the mirror. As men, we have a tendency to lose ourselves in the stoic expectations of manhood. Jay offers the idea that "real men" are authentically them and true to their journey. Whatever that looks like for them.

"My understanding of manliness is a man who is courageous enough to follow his path; his purpose," Julien shared during the interview. Let's dive into the conversation and discuss the need to heal our brothers of their trauma. We'll also discover the domino effect of how it can change our culture. For the better, might I add. Along with his friend and brother, Miguel, he co-founded My Brother's Keeper to strengthen this conversation. We'll learn how the group plans to face today's issues surrounding manhood and their vision for the future.
