Baldoni wants to start a dialogue with men about redefining masculinity — to
figure out ways to be not just good men but good humans. In a warm, personal
talk, he shares his effort to reconcile who he is with who the world tells him
a man should be. And he has a challenge for men: “See if you can use the
same qualities that you feel make you a man to go deeper,” Baldoni says.
“Your strength, your bravery, your toughness: Are you brave enough to be
vulnerable? Are you strong enough to be sensitive? Are you confident enough to
listen to the women in your life?”
