Unlocking Greatness with Ryan James Miller

This is part 2 of a 7-part series called Unstarved. In this series, Ryan talks about men, emotions, and the quest for connection. The basis for this series is that too many men are starved of emotional connection, of like-minded community, and of getting in touch with who we are. As a consequence, men are struggling. In this episode, Ryan explores the impact of toxic masculinity on emotional expression, the historical trajectory that has led to the suppression of men's emotions, and how men can push back against societal norms and become the men we were created to be. Takeaways: * Toxic masculinity has led to the suppression of men's emotions and the confusion around how to deal with them. * Men should push back against societal norms and become the men we were created to be. * It is important for men to speak freely about our struggles and emotions, and to surround ourselves with positive male role models. * Practical tools, such as identifying and challenging negative thoughts, can help men deal with our emotions and mental health.
