"I want to land on this here, because people need to stop going 'I'm looking for a conscious man,' and they have to start going 'What is a real man, a good man, feel like? What is a real man of integrity, vitality and determination feel like?' And why are we not aware of that?" - Max Trombly
This episode brings so much clarity to what's often missing in conversations about masculinity today. Max doesn't hold back - he challenges the vague "conscious man" concept and gets specific about what makes a good man: integrity, clear vision, and the capacity to lead with both strength and heart. Whether you're wondering where all the good men are, or seeking to step more fully into your own masculine power, this conversation offers both the straight talk and the depth necessary for real transformation. I especially appreciated Max's insights on finding true freedom through commitment rather than endless options - such a powerful reframe for our times!
