In this episode of the Restorative Man Podcast, Chris Bruno and Jesse French dive into the first two of the "6 Seasons of a Man’s Life," starting with the Innocent Boy phase. They reflect on how this stage, marked by naivety and learning, shapes a man's identity and understanding of the world. Chris shares a story about Jesse's son, Case, to illustrate the pure focus and joy of childhood. They also discuss the transition into the next phase, the Phallic Man, where a boy starts becoming aware of his strength, sexuality, and relationships.
