What does it mean to be a man? Is vulnerability a sign of weakness? In this episode we speak with Christopher Veal, author of The Whole Man: Evolving Masculinity. Christopher tells us how being vulnerable strengthens relationships and can help to undo the culture of toxic masculinity that has been ingrained in our society via examples from our upbringing and in the media.
Christopher posits that vulnerability is a super power and that by embracing it, men can change the idea of what it is to be a whole man and pass on their learning to the young men who are following in their footsteps, and by doing so, change the world.
Listen to this episode of the Creator Community Podcast to hear to find a fresh look at yourself and all the relationships in your life.

Turning Failure Into Success | Alisha Wielfaert | S4 E5
Monday May 23, 2022
Monday May 23, 2022
Is every failure a negative in your life? Can we redefine our failures into success? In this episode Alisha Wielfaert, author of “Little Failures” tells listeners mustering up ten seconds of bravery can not only stop letting fear of failure paralyze us, but also how it can open amazing doors.
She believes that failing out loud and letting others see our mistakes and our recovery from failures inspires others to try harder and not let fear stop them from reaching their goals. With practical advice such as creating a personal Board of Directors, and looking to successful people for inspiration, Alisha challenges us to dream bigger and expect greatness, even if it takes little failures to get there.

How to Own and Loan Your Courage | Angela Schroeder | S4 E3
Wednesday May 18, 2022
Wednesday May 18, 2022
What does the word “courage” mean to you? Can we train ourselves to be more courageous? Does it invoke thoughts of valor, daring, and overt acts of bravery? What about the smaller, daily challenges that we all have to face?
In her new book, The Courageous Mind, Angela Schroeder shows us how turning decisions into habits can free up space in our minds to tackle the challenges we all face and how having difficult decisions, making career changes, dreaming and goal setting is actually growing our courage. In this podcast episode, Angela emphasizes that courage is contagious, she invites us to lean into other people’s courage and invite others to share in ours.
Listen to this episode of the Creator Community Podcast to hear Angela’s journey of self discovery and building her own courage muscle, so she can loan it to others and help them grow.
