These are crazy times for white guys. We’re not the most popular people on the planet and our history is not all that great. Let’s face it guys, we’ve got some work to do.
Hear the inspiring stories of regular guys who are doing things differently and creating new possibilities in their communities and in their own lives. Together, they are helping to rewrite the white guy narrative.
Just a heads up, we discuss challenging topics here, especially around race. Some of the stories may be triggering for some folks to hear.
