In this personal and thought-provoking episode of Aspire, host and Co-Founder of I Have the Right To, Alex Prout, joined by hosts and high school students Gabriel V. and Hugh E., welcome former NFL athlete Don McPherson. 

Don is Board Member of I Have the Right To, College Football Hall of Famer, and longtime advocate for gender-based violence prevention. He shares his journey from athlete to activist, discussing the importance of redefining masculinity and fostering positive, aspirational models for young men. He, Alex, Hugh, and Gabriel explore the challenges of engaging boys in conversations about respect, relationships, and identity—moving beyond prevention messaging to focus on what young men can become rather than what they should avoid.

Tune in for an inspiring discussion that challenges conventional narratives and offers a new vision for what it means to be a man.
