Welcome. I'm Connor Beaton, and this is The Man Talk Show, Training for Men and Answers for Women.

And joining me today is Jason Rosario. He is the executive producer and host of the Yahoo

original web series, Dear Men, which explores the evolution of manhood. In 2017, he founded

the lives of men as a vehicle for black and Latino men to explore healthier frameworks of

masculinity while serving as a resource as they navigate

various life stages. As a motivational speaker and media personality, his talks often focus on the

intersection of self-actualization, identity, and masculinity. With a unique blend of style,

culture, education, and spirituality. His aim is to inspire,

activate, and nurture the development of well-rounded men. He's a graduate of NYU's Stern School

of Business. And today, he and I are going to take a deep dive into the challenges, the stigmas, the stereotypes around people of color going and seeking

Latino men, men of color in general face when it comes to going and getting support, going and getting

help, whether that's coaching or therapy or group work or whatever the case may be.

So Jason and I take a deep dive into that into the culture.

We take a deep dive into some of the stigmas.

And it's interesting because there are many similarities across the board for just men in general.

But then there are definitely some nuances that are unique to people of color.

And so this is a really interesting conversation.

I want to give a big shout out to a dem who helped me produce question the rules of men last year. He set me up with

Jason Rosario and was kind enough to introduce me. So just before I bring on Jason, just a quick
