**Note: ​​Due to unforeseen technical difficulties, we were only able to preserve 39 minutes of what was originally a 65-minute episode. I deeply value the time and insights shared by the men in this conversation, and I wanted to honor their contributions by sharing what we could recover. While I wish I could present the full discussion, I hope you enjoy the first two-thirds of this engaging and meaningful dialogue.
