S2-E11: What Does A Man Look Like?

What does a man look like?  June is “The Month of the Man” and it’s my pleasure to welcome John A. McDonald II to Enough Factor Podcast.  Described as a tie-loathing adventurer, philanthropist & entrepreneur who turns ideas into reality, it’s hard to believe that he spent so much of his life not knowing who he was. He resented his mom and was angry with his dad for it.  To this day, he doesn't know who his father is.  His story sadly is one that is shared by so many Men of Color in this country. Rather than applying a stereotypical expectation on John of the "black boy without a father", I wanted you to hear his story and the Truth of his identify that found him when he was at his lowest point.      In our candid conversation, John talks about:--The powerlessness of growing up without a father and how young men try to mask it.--The origins of anger and rage--A very real encounter with Divinity--Tapping into a truth that is bigger than your current circumstance…and much more.This man’s life is nothing short of a miracle. If you are feeling scared, angry, triggered by the events going on in the world, this episode is a reminder that you on a collision course with a Purpose bigger than you can imagine.  CONNECT WITH JOHNJohn’s Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/john.mcdonaldiiJohn’s Twitterhttps://twitter.com/John_McDonaldIIJohn Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jamcd2020/ This episode is brought to you by:  DO YOU SPEAK MALE: The 5 C's of Understanding A Man's LanguageDO YOU SPEAK MALE is a "course in unlearning" what you've heard about men, thought about men & your failed experiences with men by offering insights into a man's communication, code, culture, context & conduct: the 5C's that make up a man's language.If you're a NEXT-Level woman ready to UP-Level your relationships, go tohttps://bit.ly/hislanguage and find out more. SUBSCRIBETo get notifications of new episodes or to dive more deeply into today's episode, subscribe, post your questions and comments.  Suzette responds to the questions and comments personally.  And while you're at it, leave a review. Thank you for listening! CREDITSMusic by DH The Composer https://linktr.ee/dhthecomposerCover Design by Odyssey Administrative Services, LLC https://www.facebook.com/odysseyadministrativeservicesPhoto from the gallery of royalty free photo options on Pixteller.com
