Episode Details

In this episode I break down gamma bias - what it is, why it matters, and how it’s hurting relationships between men and women. I break down the 4 areas of gamma bias and how it shapes headlines, culture, and media reporting. I look at data around domestic violence and women in universities.

Listen in to learn about how gamma bias has eroded female accountability, why we don’t publicly celebrate men, and what it’s going to take to heal relationships between men and women on a macro scale.

If you’re a man who feels frustrated and apathetic right now, I have something for you. I’m currently accepting applications for TRUE NORTH - my 3 month long mastermind for men.
