“I didn’t have to look outside of myself to learn how to be a man”

Life is defined by transformation and change! My guest today is Samson Odusanya, a man deeply dedicated to supporting men in experiencing their full aliveness and allowing their old identities to die. We speak to the inevitable phases that come with maturation and how men can revive healthy masculine structures like mentorship and brotherhood. What does it look like to father oneself? Can you be overly attached to the identity of THE PROVIDER? Samson and I answer these questions plus reflect on partnership, emotion, money, and more in this dynamic interview!
