Inspire Change with Gunter

Play

This week on Inspire Change, again shout out and thank you to all the first responders LAFD, LAPD, the LA New DA Nathan Hochman and all those who have come from all over to Los Angeles that are out fighting fires and helping in the relief efforts for the city where our studio is based.  The focus for this new season is exploring the toxicity of patriarchy, reimagining masculinity, fostering personal
growth, and driving social change.  Our goals are to build awareness of the toxic foundations of patriarchy, its impact on masculinity, and its ripple effects on society.

Our 7-266 episode this week: “The Price Men Payl.”. Gunter will look deeply into something deeply personal and universal.  Gunter will explore stereotypes and norms that men face. Let’s unpack this psychological toll together. He will cover the following: 

  • Wearing Mask of Stoicism 
  • Emotional Suppression
  • Connecting authentically with others without feeling ashamed
  • Finding Solace in being seen and Heard
  • Impact on community, society and relationships

We have a special announcement, Gunter was nominated for Entrepreneur of Impact, if selected we can further the global movement and efforts to Inspire Change. Please check out and vote here:

Author
We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity. Both books are available at all major and independent retailers globally. The Making Good Men Great Movement also made Oprah’s #MustWatch list in 2018.

Mentor

In today’s world, the challenge to be ‘perfect’ is a constant source of stress. Gunter firmly believes that each person has to find their ‘own bliss’. His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.
