On Today's episode of The CLS Experience, Connor Beaton, the visionary behind Man Talks is unpacking shadow work and how to navigate toxic masculinity. We unravel the concept of the shadow self and how confronting the darker, often hidden facets of our personalities can lead to profound transformation. Let's go deep. On today's episode of The CLS Experience we have a very exclusive treat. Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, his journey is one of transformation AND self-discovery, BIG facts. From working in the frozen gravel pits of Northern Alberta, singing opera around the world, to becoming a market leader at Apple, his diverse experiences have shaped his unique perspective on life and manhood, which I deeply admire. His dedication to personal growth led him to diving deep into the realms of the human psyche, shadow work, and the transformative power of self-awareness. This journey culminated in the founding of ManTalks in 2014, an initiative that has grown into a global online men's group, a top-ranked podcast, retreats, courses, and MUCH more. Through ManTalks, he seeks to support men in their journey towards mental clarity, relational communication, and realizing their fullest potential, NO big deal. His no-BS attitude, coupled with a compassionate understanding of human limitations, has made him a sought-after coach, facilitator, teacher, and speaker. He's just a juggernaut in all facets of life, and a terrific human being. Please welcome the insightful, brilliant and handsome, the curious and transformative, Connor Beaton.10:49 - Unpacking the Shadow21:03 - Mastering Influence and Acceptance25:00 - Developing Competency and Facing Resistance32:20 - Exploring Dark Shadows With Support37:44 - Navigating Personal Darkness and Toxic Masculinity48:13 - Understanding Male Suicide and SupportGrab a copy of Connor's Book here: https://mantalks.com/book/To join our community click here.➤ To connect with Connor Beaton follow Connor on Instagram➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796To follow The CLS Experience and connect with Craig on Social Media:➤ INSTAGRAM➤ FACEBOOK➤ TIKTOK➤ YOUTUBE➤ WEBSITE➤ LINKEDIN➤ X
