On this episode, Travis talks with spirit artist, entertainer, and professional hype-guy, Tyler Boyle. In his visual art, Tyler explores how masculinity affects self-esteem, self-image, relationships, perceptions, and how our societal norms enforce the mask of masculinity. His process is meditative and intuitive, pulling from the subconscious all that his inner-self is working through. Together, Travis and Tyler reflect on how the childhood coping strategy of being hyperaware of masculinity, in self and in others, has shaped their views of manhood. Topics discussed include: exploring masculinity through a feminine approach, masculinity as a mask/a shield/a sword, doing the work to become a balanced person, dating psychology, new models for relationships, and body movement as a way to understand the limits placed on us by masculinity.
