There has been much discussion of the value of positive male role models in ones life, along with the modern dearth of these figures. This podcast exists as a space to have conversations outside of the modern day bifurcated gender war to discuss intellectual topics of growth and self development with a lens influenced by the psychological and sociological. The Positive Male Role Model podcast (or PMRM for short) seeks to exchange information and tools that one would normally gain from a positive male role model in their life.

Hey Everybody,
Welcome back, to the Positive Male Role Model Podcast. Today's topic is Vulnerability, with a specific lens to how this value is discussed and socialized in traditionally masculine circles of society from a young age. Austin discusses this from the context of heterosexual relationships not from a desire to be heteronormative, but only because it is his personal experience. He thinks this can be applicable to all relationships.
This episode is marked explicit due to references to drugs and abuse.
