As Alain says, when you have purpose behind you, you have reason to be. “There’s so many different ways of approaching how to do men’s work… and there’s so many of us out here, trying to do our piece to raise the level that we show up as husbands and fathers and leaders in our communities.” – Alain Dumonceaux Key Takeaways / What You’ll Learn: [00:55] About Alain Dumonceaux and the purpose behind The Awakened Man.
