We live in a super-connected world, yet men specifically, struggle to connect and share. This is changing... but not quickly enough. Award winning podcaster Alex Holmes sets out to accelerate this shift, debunking lingering myths around masculinity, love and connection by exploring what causes this sense of loneliness.
Starting with ‘Real Man Myths' and features designed to encourage us to open up and share, Alex motivates us to move from:
- Ignoring to Acknowledging
- Being Closed to Opening Up
- Can’t to Can
- Avoiding to Embracing
- Expecting to Accepting
Sharing his experiences on his podcast and as a young British black man, Time to Talk is a love letter to all the men who have lost their way
