In this conversation, Chris sits down with Morgan Rich to explore what masculinity looks like when men stop armoring up and start showing up. They talk about emotional vulnerability, self-awareness, and how men can balance strength without disconnecting from sensitivity. Morgan shares his personal journey of meditation, daily self-connection, and learning to embrace who he is right now rather than chasing an ideal future version of himself. Together, they unpack how vulnerability deepens relationships, strengthens leadership, and helps men live with more presence, clarity, and purpose.
