What does it actually mean to be a “better man” today?

This week on Come Curious, Florence is joined by Jerry Xzeng for a powerful conversation about masculinity, identity, and the pressures men are facing right now.From the rise of red-pill culture to the quiet crisis of male loneliness and mental health, they unpack why so many men feel lost and what needs to change.

Jerry shares his personal journey growing up in a traditional household, how he’s redefined masculinity on his own terms, and why emotional accountability is at the heart of being a better partner, friend, and human.

They also explore:

– The impact of toxic online spaces on young men

– Cultural expectations and masculinity across different backgrounds

– Why awareness is the first step to change

– Rethinking responsibility in relationships (including Jerry’s decision to get a vasectomy)

This episode is honest, nuanced, and an essential listen for anyone thinking about what masculinity could - and should - look like today.
