The Vulnerable Man

Welcome to The Vulnerable Man podcast, hosted by Christopher Veal.

Each episode explores themes around vulnerability and the relationships men have with it individually and collectively. It is not about an either/or mindset.

Featuring stories with men from all walks of life sharing their experiences, their successes and failures, alongside personal observations and experiences from the host, the podcast seeks to help each of us understand how leaning into greater vulnerability strengthens us and creates more connection with the people in our world.
