Keeps getting better!

I am an avid listener of Mark Groves and I just love the topics and candid, blunt content.

The episode NOT MAN ENOUGH was excellent. I was just taking with a girlfriends and most woman are asking “what’s wrong with men these days” This episode really calls people to see what’s happening culturally and has the listener develop compassion instead of judgement.

TvFan01 ,

Expand your mind, heart, and understanding of yourself and being in the world. This podcast is worth a listen!
