ENTER INTO THE INTIMACY This week The Words With Oz Podcast welcomes JuVan Langford, co-founder of ManifestAus and TheMenTour. We asked JuVan to join us on the show because of the meaningful and important conversation that he is having across the globe. JuVan's specific question was: "Masculinity and masculine traits, good or bad, have been and continue to be celebrated and rewarded. It seems that in pursuit of what is deemed to be a ‘man’, many men are suffering, falling short and worse, being labelled ‘toxic’. What can we do to find and portray the positivity of masculinity?" JuVan and I spoke about his reasons for desired change, the deep theories he purports and what made him take the leap to move to Australia and drive this incredible movement. www: manifestaus.com IG: @JuVanLangford, @manifestaus Show Notes. 00.00 : 02.02 - Introduction and Advert 02.03 : 02.58 - WWO Intro 02.59 : 07.10 – Pack Up and Make the Shift. 07.11 : 12.29 – my leadership 12.30 : 20.50 – it’s a ...
