In this episode of Cross The Streams, Kip Ioane reacts to a powerful moment from the Democratic National Convention that goes beyond politics and dives deep into the concepts of healthy manhood, emotional fluency, and breaking free from the restrictive "man box." Kip shares a personal connection to the struggles of infertility, fatherhood, and the journey of raising a special needs child, while highlighting the significance of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s story and his son Gus's emotional display of joy. This episode is a call to action for coaches, parents, and men everywhere to challenge the outdated norms that limit emotional expression and to champion a new version of manhood—one that embraces the full spectrum of human emotions.
