Podcast accessible on: iTunes |  Spotify  | YouTube

Join us for a powerful conversation with Kip Ioane, founder of Teams of Men, as he shares his journey from basketball coach to advocate for a new vision of masculinity. Triggered by a series of unsettling incidents, Kip realized that traditional coaching methods weren't enough to prepare young men for the real world.

In this episode, we dive into the concept of the "man box"—the rigid set of societal expectations that can leave men feeling lonely, angry, and isolated. Kip explains how coaches can use their unique platform to challenge these harmful norms, not by adding more to their plate, but by shifting their focus.

Discover the power of vulnerability and "mirror training," which encourages self-reflection and self-interrogation. Learn how small changes in language and a willingness to say "I don't know" can transform team culture and build true brotherhood. This isn't just about winning games; it's about helping young men become better leaders, teammates, and people.
