On this episode, Travis talks with author of the book, Drowning Quietly: Memoir of a Man's Shortcomings, Pellegrino Riccardi. Pellegrino's life took a dramatic turn after what he described as an unforgivable mistake regarding the safety of one of his children. That experience put him on a path of self-discovery and redefining his manhood which involved seeing himself through the eyes of the most important women in his life. He lays out this journey in his new book and is here to share his insights. Topics discussed include: The redefining power of recognizing one's own shortcomings, cultural differences in how we apply masculine norms, learning to express complex emotions, offering as a father what was missing in one's own childhood, how infertility impacts a man's masculinity, and the power of unapologetic feedback within safe relationships.
