Summary

Cleo Stiller has always liked to have conversations that other people don’t feel comfortable having. She hosted a show called “Sex Right Now with Cleo Stiller” and when the #MeToo movement started gaining mainstream attention, she was inundated from questions from male viewers. Questions like, “I’m a single guy and I don’t know how to approach women” and “I’m a new parent to a son and I don’t know how to raise a good man.” With these questions, she saw an opportunity: we as a society needed to have an open conversation where people could come together and feel safe asking these questions and getting answers. That didn’t exist, so she created it. Her new book, Modern Manhood dives into the complicated world of trying to be a good man today. Connect with Cleo Stiller on Twitter and Instagram @cleomsf.
