The Vulnerable Man
The Vulnerable Man podcast, hosted by Christopher Veal, is an ongoing examination of what it means to be a man, and how we as men want to define masculinity and manhood in the 21st century. The goal is quite simple: to destigmatize the word vulnerability for men so that they can better connect with themselves and the people in their world. Each episode explores themes around vulnerability and the relationships men have with it individually and collectively. It is not about an either/or mindset. Through conversations we strive to better understand how men want to show up more powerfully and on purpose in the world. Featuring stories with men from all walks of life sharing their experiences, their successes and failures, alongside personal observations and experiences from the host, the podcast seeks to help each of us understand how leaning into greater vulnerability strengthens us and creates more connection with the people in our world.
