QUOTES:
“Manning up and kind of pushing those emotions aside to serve what society has deemed to be a man's purpose in life, which is kind of stoic.”
“Most men tend to push it down inside, pack it down inside, seeing how much can I get stuffed down inside until one day it finally just explodes as a volcano does.”
“Really important to focus in there for just a moment on what we just said ... how important it is to be willing to go deep with people if you want to have deep, meaningful relationships.”
