The Better Man: Exploring Consent, Connection, and Courage with Eric Fritzmedrud

Hector sits down with Eric Fitzmedrud to have conversations about topics most guys avoid but need to have. Eric opens up about how he has navigated masculinity, sexuality, and relationships that break from the “traditional path.” They talk about everything from fatherhood and polyamory to the struggles men face around consent and personal identity. Eric doesn’t sugarcoat the reality of balancing relationships, managing desire, and embracing personal truth, and he challenges men to get honest with themselves and their partners.
