Summary
Frankly, gents, I don't even know what to say about this conversation. It was a powerful discussion from a man who has been through hell and back to fight for not only who he is as a man but as a father of his children.
His name is Greg Ellis and, although you may not recognize his name, you have definitely seen him on the Silver Screen. Today we talk about the true purpose of vulnerability, why social media should be called "anti-social media," the crisis of meaning that modern society is facing, and why fatherhood is in the crosshairs.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
- Using social media as a tool
- Appreciating art, literature, and sports
