Listen to Real Men Feel, #150, “Exploring The Evolving Man” here:
Relationship Architect/Coach, Best-Selling Author, Speaker, and Workshop Leader, Geoff Laughton, joins us to discuss man’s search for meaning, purpose, and community.
“If you didn’t get to express your emotions growing up, that doesn’t mean they’re not there.” ~ Geoff Laughton
