I met Kodah at an interactive social event in LA and instantly found him to be interesting, charismatic and eloquent. I had no idea about his transgender backstory and experience, but when I was told about it, I knew he would make for a compelling interview subject. Trigger warning: the subject of transgender is controversial and polarized to begin with, and Kodah's story cannot help but serve as a cautionary tale of sorts. That does not mean that Kodah's message, nor the message of this episode is anti-trans in any way. This is the exploration of one man's journey out of and back into manhood and should be taken as such. Kodah begins with a summary of his life story, offering along the way his own self-analysis of how his journey towards gender transformation unfolded. He also discusses trans culture, some aspects of which he found welcoming and life-affirming, others he found problematic. He describes his direct experience with sissy hypno-porn, the politicization of the trans movement and ventures into other topics that some will find challenging. I believe anyone who gets to know Kodah will not find him to be anti-trans. The Omega Male podcast seeks to explore emergent paradigms, concepts and notions of maleness and is founded upon the spirit of inclusiveness, expansiveness and Love. I hope to have the opportunity to interview both trans men and women in the future to hear more perspectives in this particular domain. Kodah is a peak performance and leadership facilitator and strategist. His journey has been informed by deep personal transformation at the interaction of gender, tech and anthropology.His career experience spans entrepreneurship, venture strategy and givernment partnerships. Currently facilitating team leadership through the Flow Genome Project.
