What makes a good man and a good mate? | Youth advocate Daniel Principe

This week I'm joined by youth advocate and speaker Daniel Principe.

Daniel and I sit down for an honest conversation about growing up, finding your identity and the experiences that shape the person you become.

We talk about the pressure young men face today, the insecurity that comes from trying to fit in, and how both of us have had to challenge our own ideas of what it means to be a man.

From friendships and rejection to fatherhood, relationships and the lessons we've learned along the way, this conversation is about becoming a better mate, a better partner and a better person.

We talk:


Why so many young men feel pressure to be someone they're not

The insecurity that comes from trying to fit in

How our ideas of masculinity change as we grow older

What actually makes someone a good mate

Why difficult conversations are a sign of strong relationships

The difference between having lots of friends and having real friendships

How rejection can become one of life's greatest teachers

The lessons we learn from our parents and the ones we want to pass on

Creating safe spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves

The challenges young people face growing up in an online world

Why growth comes from being willing to admit when you're wrong
