THE UNSIDED PODCAST
Our world is divided - economically, racially, morally, spiritually, and politically divided. We are divided by sexuality and by gender. We are divided by belief which has been handed down by our family and foisted upon us by our community. Social media and the 24-hour news cycle only further muddy the waters of understanding. In a world brimming with divisions, staying open-minded is more challenging than ever. But what if we could change that narrative?
UNSIDED leaps headlong into these divides, not to widen them, but to bridge them through conversation. A conversation that explores all sides and uncovers the intersections. A conversation that requires vulnerability and willingness to learn from others. Here we allow for a space in which like-minded people can come to better understand what motivates others and to grow themselves, even if mistakes are made along the way. No judgement. No shaming. No cancelling. Just endless curiosity and ultimately, connection.
THE UNSIDED PODCAST
MARVIN JONES III aka KRONDON
On this episode I had the pleasure to sit down with musician, actor, father and my friend, Marvin Jones III - aka Krondon to his music fans - and to dive into a topic that is often seen in western society as too vulnerable or weak to be discussed with the seriousness that it deserves - Men's Mental Health. Speaking from my own personal experience I have spent much of my life resigned to my fate as a man. Resigned to assigning my worth solely based upon what I have achieved and how much is in my bank account. And while we as a society have made vast improvements in opening the dialogue, there are still millions of men suffering in silence to understand their value outside of their ability to produce. And it's killing men. Mentally, spiritually and physically. If you are a man or have a man in your life that you love, this is an important conversation for you. Certainly we can't answer all of the big questions on such an important topic in one podcast, but we can offer a safe space to explore our own understanding of what it means to take personal responsibility for how we show up as men and to offer support to the men in our lives who are doing their best to level up and look after their own mental health. So stick around. This is a good one.
Let's get into it.
