Summary

We're back! In this highly anticipated episode, our dynamic trio of hosts, Justin Baldoni, Liz Plank, and Jamey Heath, reunites for an electric conversation that's bound to resonate with anyone navigating the complexities of evolving in modern life. Justin, who famously "wrote the book on masculinity," opens up about what he's been up to during his hiatus, a recent mistake that made him run to re-read his own book, and why he feels like he's in a constant state of evolution. His vulnerability sets the stage for a honest discussion about the unending journey of self-discovery and 'doing the work.' As the episode unfolds, our hosts share their own personal stories of growth, from insecurity at work and Liz's 'imposter syndrome' to Jamey's constant evolution as a father and how he's learning to better deal with conflict in his home. It's a candid, and relatable exploration of self transformation that will leave you feeling inspired and energized to embrace your own imperfect path of development. Join us as we delve deep into the heart of what it means to be human in today's world, and the bumps we make along the way.

0:00.0	Coming up on man enough.
0:02.0	I put a lot of pressure on myself to be perfect.
