Summary

How do we measure our strength and value as men? We’re joined by one of YouTube’s original success stories, comedian, and co-creator of SMOSH and founder of Pressalike Productions, Anthony Padilla. Anthony’s refreshing openness and honesty invites us to find strength in vulnerability and reminds us that our value is not measured by what we do, but by who we are. Anthony shares his story and experiences on a wide range of topics including: Achieving success, the pressure he felt to entertain, and why he took the risk to be true to himself, pivot his content, and focus on making the world a better place How his unique way of expressing himself outside of traditional gender norms has been criticized and policed by men and women alike throughout his life The pressure to provide for the people in his life above his own needs Depression, panic attacks, and the effect the pandemic is having on mental health The importance of opening up, not judging our feelings, and facing our traumas New episodes every Monday 🎙️ Follow & listen wherever you enjoy your podcasts 🎧 The video version of every episode and bonus features will always be available at https://ManEnough.com/podcast JOIN THE MAN ENOUGH COMMUNITY: Follow: https://manenough.com/podcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/wearemanenough TikTok: https://tiktok.com/wearemanenough Twitter: https://twitter.com/WeAreManEnough Facebook: https://facebook.com/wearemanenough Subscribe to the Man Enough newsletter for behind the scenes, updates, and sneak peeks of new episodes, as well as positive masculinity content: https://manenough.com/newsletter Read the Man Enough book: https://manenough.com/books The Man Enough Podcast is produced by Wayfarer Studios and presented by Procter and Gamble, in partnership with Cadence13, an Audacy company.
