It all starts with that very first, "You're a dork," or "Be a man,' and from then on we as men question the image of who we are in our own minds. Struggling day-in and day-out to embrace and love ourselves, often doing more damage than good to our self-image. Yet, when we begin to accept ourselves just as we are and work on embracing our self-image, it becomes so much easier to become the man we strive to be. Everything from our physical form, to our soulful presence is rooted in our self-image. Today, yogi entrepreneur Darren Main joins me for a candid talk about men and self-image, and the lessons that can be learned when we truly embrace ourselves for who we are at any stage of life.
