Episode 20: Robert Augustus Masters On True Masculine Power [The Amiel Show]

Episode 20: Robert Augustus Masters On True Masculine Power [The Amiel Show]

by amiel · Jun 8, 2015

Men, listen up. This one’s for you.

In Episode 20 of the podcast, I speak with Robert Augustus Masters, author of the new book To Be A Man: A Guide to True Masculine Power.

Robert models the kind of manhood he aims to foster in the world: big heart, sharp mind, and firm backbone. Compassion without the B.S.

This is one interview you won’t want to miss. Whether you are a man or a woman.
