032: Commitment, Communication, and Noble Forgiveness with Alison A. Armstrong

In this episode of The Modern Man, I'm joined by Alison A. Armstrong, an author, educator, and creator of several courses including Understanding Men and Understanding Women. She also created an audiobook that I've been playing on repeat called The Amazing Development of Men. Alison's work has helped me, along with countless other men, communicate and articulate what I'm going through to the women in my life. I'm thrilled for you to hear the insights and wisdom she's gained from decades of studying men and women.   Alison was born to be an advocate. She's been speaking up for various groups of people her whole life, but for the past 30 years, she's been primarily advocating for men. Why? "Because mostly women can't hear men," she says.   Tune in to learn how to hone your communication, understand the meaning behind your commitment, and restore your honor through noble forgiveness.   Key Takeaways / What You'll Learn: [00:48] About Alison A.
