In this episode of The New Masculine, Travis sits down with Steve, a participant in the 2024 Men’s Gathering, to explore the healing power of animals, community, and vulnerability. Steve shares how his therapy dog, Hope, and later, an experience with horses through Equine-Assisted Coaching, supported his emotional growth and helped him navigate challenges at work and in life. Together, they discuss what it means to be a man in today’s ever-changing world, how men can support each other through fear and uncertainty, and why leadership grounded in empathy and humility matters more than ever. From learning through failure to finding reassurance in community, Steve offers a heartfelt perspective on growth, caution, and courage. 🟢 Topics include: Healing with therapy animals and horses The challenge of modern masculinity Men’s retreats and emotional safety Servant leadership and conscious growth Why community matters on the inner journey
