#117: Ben Hurst: On Being Good Men

This week I am speaking to facilitator and speaker Ben Hurst about how we can be good men, and navigate ways out of toxic masculinity.  Ben is a facilitator and workshop leader, working as head of facilitation and training for the Good Lad initiative. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with young people having worked at sex education charity ACET UK, and gained a degree in Youth Work and Theology. In 2018, his TEDx talk ‘Boys Won’t Be Boys. Boys Will Be What We Teach Them To Be' touches on many of the points we who work in changing the way we view masculinity, and how we can be better men.
