The Vulnerable Man podcast is an ongoing examination of what it means to be a man, and how we as men want to define masculinity and manhood in the 21st century. The main theme centers around vulnerability and the relationship men have with it individually and collectively. It is not about an either/or mindset. Instead it seeks to come from an approach to better understand how we as men want to show up more powerfully and on purpose in the world. Through conversations with men from all walks of life sharing their experiences, stories, successes, and failures, along with personal observations and experiences from the host, Christopher Veal, it seeks to help each of us understand how leaning into greater vulnerability strengthens us and creates more connection with the people in our world.

Customer Reviews
Vulnerability for the WIN
In a world that often pressures men to suppress their emotions and conform to outdated stereotypes of masculinity, The Vulnerable Man podcast offers a refreshing and empowering perspective. Hosted by Christopher, the podcast delves into the complexities of modern manhood, encouraging men to embrace vulnerability as a source of strength and connection.
Connector to so many ExpertsInTheField
Having worked with Keith Edwards (ep 69), having read Mark Greene (ep 66) and having watched Ashanti Branch (ep 61) on The Mask You Live in, I was struck by Christopher’s ability to host so many wonderful impactful people from the work in his show. The level of respect he would have to command to gather such a community is powerful.
The real thing
After 25 years in the world of personal development and men’s work it’s easy to see who is teaching from a place of embodiment. Christopher does a fantastic job highlighting what men need to access and live from their authentic self. Keep up the great work.
