how do you define masculinity?
The Vulnerable Man podcast, hosted by Christopher Veal, 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.
My goal is quite simple: to destigmatize the word vulnerability for men so that they can better connect with themselves and the people in their world.

dominick shattuck (pt 1)
Dominick is a men’s health researcher, a husband, a father to two daughters, and frankly one of those people that it is just easy to talk to.
We discuss recognizing others’ openness to deeper vulnerability, navigating losing a job, normalizing sexual health conversations with young men and boys, his experience speaking to men around the world, modeling healthy dialogue around sex, and leveraging the concept of transmedia to make an impact. This is part one of a two-part conversation.
