The Prestige Trap

The Value of Vulnerability

Hey Everybody, Welcome back, to the Positive Male Role Model Podcast. Today's topic is Vulnerability, with a specific lens to how this value is discussed and socialized in traditionally masculine circles of society from a young age. Austin discusses this from the context of heterosexual relationships not from a desire to be heteronormative, but only because it is his personal experience. He thinks this can be applicable to all relationships. This episode is marked explicit due to references to drugs and abuse.
