Summary

In this episode of the Align podcast, Connor Beaton talks about finding purpose as a man and tapping into your emotional well-being. We dive deep into relationship dynamics, why people cheat, and where we seek validation from. We also explore porn addiction and how it can affect our perceptions of sex and intimacy. Does it give men a sense of power or is it a form of self-sabotage? We also cover the power of victimhood, the fear of rejection and healing the toxicity within ourselves.

Connor Beaton is the founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on improving the lives, relationships, and leadership of men. Connor is also an international speaker, author of the best-selling book Men’s Work, host of a top-ranked podcast and works with men who are looking to lead themselves and their lives more effectively. Since founding ManTalks, Connor has spoken on stage at TEDx, with Lewis Howes, Gary Vaynerchuk, Danielle LaPorte, and has been featured on platforms like the United Nations, Forbes, Huffington Post, The Good Men Project, CBC and the National Post.
