Summary

There's too much negativity in the world, and a big source of that negativity is "toxic masculinity." In this episode, Arnold discusses where men have lost their way, with help from bestselling author Brad Stulberg. He'll share why he "never felt the need to show anyone he was manly," and how anyone can develop the traits that will make them a more positive force.

Arnold recently released new limited edition shirts. You can find them here. ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://arnoldspumpclub.com/collections/merch⁠⁠⁠⁠
