On this episode, Travis invites a deeper personal element to the podcast by welcoming his partner Travis Mears. Yes...the double Travis (aka the Travii) is correct! Travis Mears identifies as a spiritual being, as a gay man, as an athlete, and as a partner. Due to his background in higher education, Travis uses the lens of student development theory to help us understand what is actually needed for masculinity to evolve beyond certain outdated models. He beautifully shares his journey through unconscious patterns he once held (involving superiority, shame, and perfectionism) to the more conscious, supportive, and balanced man he is today. A big theme throughout their conversation is the rigid concept of right and wrong that often shuts down a person's growth and development. Together, the Travii share the perspective that challenging men to be better is an important step. And, the next step is to increase the level of support and celebration that follow this challenge to greatly increase the chances of success.
