On this episode, Travis talks with corporate trainer, coach, and keynote speaker James Barnes. While he works with people regardless of identity, he specializes in supporting transgender individuals in finding themselves and coping with transitioning in today’s society, while also working within organizations to create safe work and learning environments for LGBTQ+ folks. Through his social media platform, @thetranscoach, he encourages us all to develop more empathy by learning from those who are different from us. Topics discussed include: defining one's own masculinity, controlling what you can control, cultivating spaces for men to engage in empathetic ways, the ways the world treats him differently post transition, the societal rules for men and women, and his core value that two truths can be held at once.
