Internationally-renowned Danish actor Magnus Bruun opens up about the moment he realized his 'fear of failing' consumed his entire life—and how he worked to transform into the man he truly wanted to be. We learn why 'listening' became the biggest factor of that change, and how he now tries to incorporate equality, specifically gender equality, into everything he does.

We also get very honest about the guilt and shame that comes with envying other people and how we can help each other by being honest and openly sharing the things we admire in one another. 

Our guest of expertise is Australian Clinical Psychologist and mental health researcher Dr. Simon Rice. In this episode, Dr. Rice sheds light on the importance of talking about 'positive masculinity' instead of toxic masculinity. He also introduces us to the scientific concept of 'precarious manhood' and reveals how to provide healthy alternatives to the old narrative of manhood and womanhood can advance men's health and societies at-large.
