Redefining Strength: Geoff Grant on Vulnerability Beyond Masculine Stereotypes
This episode is for any man who has mistaken silence for strength. Host Swati talks with coach Geoff Grant about why men learn to equate control with strength, and what that belief quietly costs.
Geoff explains what shifts when a man chooses vulnerability over control, why curiosity can replace the need to always be right, and why setbacks are part of growth, not failure.
