The Remaking Manhood Podcast is devoted to bringing you powerful conversations with the men and women leading the  healthy masculinity movement. For generations, our culture has taught us  a narrow and limiting set of rules for how to be a man. The end result?  Epidemic levels of isolation and violence for boys and men and for the  multitude of others who’s lives we impact.

But we can make a difference choice. We can choose a masculinity of  connection and in return have healthier relationships, and more  meaningful, lasting lives.

As a writer, speaker and consultant, Mark Greene has spent over a  decade deconstructing our binary-riddled dialogues around manhood and masculinity. He consults to organizations world wide on diversity,  inclusion and masculinity. Mark is the author of The Little #MeToo Book for Men, Remaking Manhood and is co-author with Dr. Saliha Bava of The Relational Book for Parenting.
