And I don't know where a category this falls in, but I shaved my head. I shaved my head. And I did it for many reasons. But the most important reason was when I did it back in the 90s, I was so insecure. I couldn't do it. I couldn't hold on to it. I felt so self-conscious. I looked like a monk. And that was in my 30s. And I remember squirming and wanting to like it because I like the way it feels. And I'm so sick of caring about my hair, putting product in my hair.

And I'm not going to just talk about what I did in action behavior, but also the internal change, mindset growth.

Okay, let's go for a walk here.

Step one, start a men's group.

First thought, I know nobody here.

Who's going to come? Why would I start a man's group?

Next to you know, I meet two people at the copy shop. They invite their friends. I posted on social.
