In this insightful episode, Dylan Stein shares his personal journey from a traditional career to dedicating his life to mental health advocacy and community outreach. He talks about the challenges men face when it comes to emotional vulnerability, the damaging effects of hypermasculinity, and the societal pressures that shape how men express their feelings. Dylan also explores the complexities of consent in relationships, and why it's essential to have open, honest conversations about emotional needs. Throughout the discussion, he highlights the work of Building Hope, a nonprofit focused on improving mental health services in Summit County, Colorado and shares his experience creating a men’s group to provide a supportive space for guys to talk openly about their struggles.

Takeaways from the conversation include the impact of societal pressures on men’s mental health, the need for vulnerability in relationships, and the importance of creating spaces where men can openly express themselves. Dylan emphasizes that being vulnerable isn’t a weakness, but a strength, and that men need to challenge traditional ideas of masculinity in order to build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
