Was the rise of Andrew Tate due in part to a lack of positive male role models? This is what some recent media analysis has suggested. In this episode I am once more joined by Alex Holmes, author, mental health advocate, and psychotherapist, to discuss this potentially contentious point.
Alex works with and has a passion for men’s well-being, so he was a natural choice in broaching this subject. As always, Alex’s research and insights into masculinity and manhood does not disappoint and provides a solid basis for what I feel is an in-depth and nuanced discussion around this issue. Hopefully you think so, too (and let me and Alex know what you do think - even if you think anything we say is far off the mark).
If, after listening, you think that someone else would benefit from hearing this discussion, please share it with them. Also, please do like, subscribe and leave a comment (if you listen on Apple Podcasts - I mean, you could always leave a comment there even if you don’t. Unless you have an Android phone, in which case none of this applies to you!)
Thanks for listening, your patience with putting up with my continued bullshit and letting me fill up your inbox is greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Nice-ish.
