#131 Pt 2 – “All We Can Do Is Be Better”: Being Vulnerable, Parenthood & Acknowledging Your Own Faults With Chris Braaten

Chris Braaten of the I Like To Like Things podcast returns as this week’s guest; him & Mike continue their discussion on positivity, the best kind of “modern man”, family, vulnerablility and other positivity-orientated topics!

This week, in part 2, Mike & Chris’s conversation on being a “modern man” continues by discussing vulnerability & crying, admitting when you’re wrong, trying to ensure your children are “better” than you, the different approaches to parenting from older generations, how empathy is key, how small positive actions can greatly impact someone’s life and their conversation ends with Chris talking about his weight loss journey and the importance of pockets!

Last week, in part 1 of their chat, Chris talks about how he became a podcaster, the varieties of American & English culture, and Chris & Mike’s mutual love of different foods (like Mexican & Indian). Chris then recalls a story on how he learned to cook due to his dog, before talking about how fatherhood and being a husband changed him - part 1 ends with Mike & Chris talking about what it is to truly “be a man”.
